This is Mean for the Sake of Meanness

I, like many other bloggers, have this addicting little habit where I check out how people are getting on to my site. You know, "referrals." Lately a lot have been coming from Wonkette and DCist. Thanks for stopping by!

Anytime I get a referral I'm not familiar with, I usually take the time to check it out. That's how I came across Irina is Always Right, which is now a daily read. Over the last few days I've been getting quite a few hits from something called DC Late Night Shots. So, I click.

I am taken to a website that says the following:

LateNightShots is a closed social network which allows you to explore Washington DC's social landscape and bar scene.

Membership is open through invitation only.

Invitation only? EFF THAT.

Since I have yet to be invited to this august organization, I have no way of seeing what was written about me. My very fragile ego can't handle that suspense. I am just going to assume disrespect.

Anyways, the welcome page is filled with some hilarious pictures. You can find them yourself if you click on that link and press the refresh button. Now, let's have some fun at other people's expense!

So far, so good. I mean, what young District gentlemen doesn't like spending time with his favorite drink and his four favorite girls? Hmm, maybe this group isn't as bad as I assumed.

Again, not bad. I love cheap champagne. Love it. The sweet delicious sugary drunk and the woeful sugary hangover the next morning. What's not to love about champagne? And, thank the Lord, no popped collars. And is that a celebrity? I think that's Fred Munster on the way left. Any group that allows Munsters (I'm looking at you, Lily) is fine by me!

I have no idea why that guy on the right has such a shit-eating grin. Maybe he's really happy he got into the DC Late Night Shots Club? It appears he is the only one in the picture not touching a girl, so why the 90-watt smile?

Uh-oh. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the ladies. I mean they rev my engines. But this...this looks like trouble. I can't figure out if this is really "DC Late Night Shots" or if I just stumbled upon the annual meeting of the DC Chapter of the Sex and the City Fan Club. And those seven ladies are all smiling, but there's no way you can tell me that the majority of them aren't dead on the inside.

I KNEW IT! I FUCKING KNEW IT!! You can not have a social organization in this city without "those guys" showing up. You just can't. Ugh. THIS PICTURE HAS FOUR WINGMEN!

That Potomac jersey is also the lamest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Die in a fire, Mr. Potomac.

Although, I must admit, I am really intrigued by that lady. She has the Avril smile. I love the Avril smile! She's in quite a few of these pictures, so she might have a leadership position in this circle-jerk club. If she is "leadership," she probably wants me dead. If she doesn't want me dead, contact me, cute girl! I swear, I am sort of attractive!

Wow. This is some club. To their credit, it's kind of honorable that they take time out of their social calendars to party with people with Down's Syndrome. That dude flashing the devil horns has the Down's, right?


This is the best picture in the history of life. First, a quick shout-out to the cute girl:

1-4-3!

Ahem.

Anyways, greatest picture ever. It certainly says quite a bit about the herd mentality that's so prevalent in DC. Three of those guys are wearing the exact same thing! Granted, there's probably a reason for this. A reason is not the same as an excuse.

I can't get enough of their drinks of choice. That's five, count 'em five, bottles of Miller Lite all in a pretty little row. That, my friends, is herd mentality.

Well, that's it. Judging by the pictures, it looks like the DC Late Night Shots Club might have something to do with Georgetown. If so, they're probably smarter than me and I should lay off. But I can't allow such ridiculousness to go unpunished. I just can't. Especially when they're potentially complimenting me behind my back. Unacceptable!

I demand to know what was said behind the iron curtain of DC Late Night Shots membership! Please! My sanity depends on it!

And if it turns out to have been a compliment, I owe you guys (and cute girl) a HUGE apology.

    LOL! I just joined this "club" yesterday because someone from work invited me! It's just someone's lame version of drinking-centric Friendster. Yes, I did join, but only to look and laugh at the pictures. This is no social club.

    THIS http://www.capital-club.com/index.html is a REAL social club - DC-style, Mother F'er. You want a good laugh - check out the Photo Gallery. I spent hours on there at work yesterday.

    Our boys in Irag must be so proud of what they are fighting for over there.

    you know what i love about dc? how everyone looks so different, everyone has a unique style and personality. no one in dc is friends with people just for the connections. no, this is a nice, friendly town full of down to earth, progressively-minded people.

    Rusty, you got a shout out on www.readexpress.com. See below:

    » MEMBERS ONLY: Why.I.Hate.DC discovers through his site meter that people from within the invitation-only D.C. Late Night Shots network have been looking at his blog. Rusty, Why.I.Hate.DC's cantankerous editor, then proceeds to critique their exclusive party shots ... with some mild profanity. (If you go to the D.C. Late Night Shots Web site, you too can see their late night photos, just press refresh.) Something tells us these folks don't hang out at the Tune Inn. [Why.I.Hate.DC; D.C. Late Night Shots]

    Have you gotten your cease and desist order yet? From the hopeless self-involvement eminating from "DC Late Night Shots" that you hilariously showcased so well, something tell me that this club consists of a large number of attorneys. Don't be surprised if they retaliate! Remember the one thing lawyers hate more than losing money is to lose face, and oh how they hate to lose money!

    There is a subspecies of this type of douchebag which resides at Top of the Hill (otherwise known as the second floor of PourHouse).

    A douchiest of bags suggested to me that admittance was only allowed to a select few, but that I would likely be allowed if entering with his girlfriend as companion (doorman would recognize her, and thereby grant access for me).

    People, you just walk up the stairs. There is no doorman. Like I said, same type of douchebag: aging frat boys and the women who love them.

    Thanks for the post, Rusty!

    I love the picture from the capital-club of a guy at the Gold Cup races with a suit on and a "beer tent" wristband...guess what pal, you can wear a suit and your gal pal can wear a giant hat, but if you need a wristband to drink, it aint a classy event.

    i cant believe that im actually responding to this but you guys are such tools that i cant help myself. 1) you all hate on a bunch of people in a club who you have never met. i bet if they invited you in, you would stop hating and actually like hanging out with hot chicks and having a good time. oh and this late night shots thing isn't a real club. its like myspace, just private and for DC. 2) i hate to say it, but these people will probably continue to own you the rest of your life. yes they probablly pop their collar and have rich parents, but they are also likely very smart, well-mannered, well educated and likely to be very succesfull, happy people with big houses, nice boats, hot wives and powerful friends. they will probably also use lots of their wealth to make the world a better place through charity or whatever (or maybe thier wives will since they won't need to work). anyways, i just think its really lame that you all would hate on people that you have never met, just because you were never cool in high school or were never accepted into the group that you wanted to be in. you have no idea that these people are "self serving, empty morons" just from looking at their picture.

    Couldn't agree more with the previous post. In this world there is a pretty standard equation to do what everyone wants in life: A)Get a hot loving wife B)Make a ton of money C)Have fun. Somewhere along the line, your bitterness in accepting that you could never get all three caused you to hate the people that do. Getting all of those things in Washington requires a tight dress & social code that some people can't or won't follow. Let it be known though that non of these people care about your smug close-minded opinion of them. They are too busy drinking the best liquor, laying the best girls, and succeding to really care.

    And then they all die, maybe never knowing that their lives were total meaningless shells of existence.

    Let's get one thing straight here- us normal folks? ARE SO HAPPY TO HAVE PEOPLE LIKE DC SHOT CLUB OR FUCKING WHATEVER AROUND. We are ECSTATIC. Because then we have someone to sit around and make fun of, knowing full well that we are better people than you could ever dream of being. Pure entertainment. So good ahead, toolbags! Have fun with your little club, which - by -the way - I had a version of in 4th grade. I think it was called "the Non-Cootie Club" and you had to wear Izod to join.

    As a DC native, I'd usually also request that you KINDLY FUCK OFF from my city, because most of you who act like this aren't really from here. However, if you honestly think life revolves around A) what you wear and B) what kind of vapid sluts you bang, then you and I don't run with the same crowd anyways. Sowhat do I care?



    (PS, all those hot girls have the most by age 25? Have the most insane crows feet from overtanning that you will ever see. It's gonna be exhausting to trade in for a younger model every few years as they drain you bank account, Mr. Successful. Good luck with all that.)

    I'm not going to put LOL or tell you how much I want to blow you for calling these shit-bags out, because this shit isn't funny to me. I just read the piece in the city paper yesterday and I wasn't laughing, I was straight disgusted. I actually walked from my house in Shaw toward the great white west (west of 16th street) in search of these types and I walked up to most anyone wearing a polo and khaki shorts to ask if they're some sort of "fucking urban duck hunting club" and bowing up a little bit like North Carolinians do.. (those who didn't rush frats and pop their baby blue polos at Carolina) and as you'd prob. know - they buckled got nervous and retreated into their protective pack of assholes. Alll you motherfuckers sucking whyihatedc off for his "awesome post" can kiss my pucker. Fuck DC, it's a shame too b/c I actually like American but our capital is a tragedy.

    You know whats sad about all this... These women are not that hot and I'm guessing since their lame limp dick husbands can't get it up without Viagra anyway thats when they bang "the help" AKA(the gardener, pool boy). So then the lame husband gets a young girl. He files for divorce and loses half. The young girl who he cheated with will also cheat on him because she just loves him for his money. The lame rich boy now an old man has nothing to show for himself but several divorces. Kids that probably don't like him and are most likely shooting up heroin at there prep schools. The wife now drinks all the time (oh wait she was already drank all the time because she has no job and sits at home all day banging the 23 year old pool boy.) is now an alcoholic who wasted her life away. WOW sounds like fun! You people sure know how to make me feel better about myself. You don't need money, social clubs, an entourage of fake friends (who also bang your wife as well)to be happy in life . but if it makes you feel better to say to someone like me that i won't become anything. (as an earlier post states) You don't know me. just like I don't know you. But there is a difference I don't try to make people feel lesser then me. If I was invited into this social network. I would accept the invitation and hung out where you did just to piss you off . I would then invite everybody I knew to join because let's face it . how fun can a party be if everybody looks and acts the same. verity is the spice of life people.

Every morning the former sorority girls here are browsing the site together and chatting about what bar or club they got drunk at the previous night, then its off to shop for shoes online. Believe me, this post was right on in naming the specific DC breed of vapid airheads full of unwarranted self-importance that infest the city. I know how much they make yet they live in luxurious condos far beyond the means of our paychecks - living on daddy's dime on past college and well into their 20's these worthless socialites exist only to buy shoes, drink shots, and climb some kind of social ladder that I'll never, ever, perceive.
