I wish I had been the first person to say that maybe we should start breakdancing to save the Kennedy Center. He's always been an 80s movie villain (a multi-genre one at that!), so the solution has to be either breakdancing or The Goonies.

I’m the one who has been going to convenience stores and putting “Take a nap, leave a nap” dishes by the register. So far I have contributed to the redistribution of 17 million naps. You’re welcome, you well-rested citizens.
