Thanks! Glad I'm not the only one who likes bad puns and smartaleckery.

Haha... I actually thought of a similar one for the "hit a guy" topic, but didn't post because I didn't want to make light of a serious topic in the thread itself.

Also..

"I heard people in NoVA are snobby?"
I don't know, did you? It seems like an odd question to ask a bunch of people you don't know.

Interesting opportunity--but why would you want me to use your car? What's wrong with my car?

But have you heard

B-b-b-b-bird! bird! Bird is the word!

They're called presidential candidates. This is a swing state, you know, so they pass through a lot.

[Carlingtonian]

Yeah, Pentagon City--NoVa's architectural answer to East Berlin!

I confess I lack the cultural literacy to get this reference; is it a Frank Zappa song or something?

Play this video if you dare--but beware. Once you've the word about the bird, this old 60's song maybe stuck in your head for days.

For reference, you should also listen to the entire song on YouTube; I think it was by a group called the Trashmen.
