The PEN15 Club

“We built Dish City on rock and roll.”

DISHnetworks, the company whose commercials annoy the piss out of you, is giving free satellite television for 10 years to every resident of the first town that’s willing to change its name to Dish. So far, no towns have come forward to claim the prize, but my guess is that it won’t be long. After all, what do Deep Gap, TN, Onacock, VA, Butztown, PA, and Maggie’s Nipples, WY have to lose? (We’ve driven through Maggie’s Nipples, but it was a dare and she was unconscious.)

The funny thing is that Rob and I have always sort of considered The PEN15 Club to be dish city, on account of our sassy and completely fabricated rumor mongering - thus making us the Mayors of Dish. In fact, our average day consists of hours upon hours of sipping G&Ts out of glasses the size of satellite dishes, and murmuring, “Dish is ridiculoush” over and over.

Oh my god. When will August be over?
