The media noticed that Trump lawyer, Ty Cobb was spotted rocking out at the TAH official burger bar Slash Run Saturday night;
D.C. photographer Chris Stewart spotted the man, who became an Internet sensation because of his curly mustache, at Slash Run, which according to its website is a “rock n’ roll burger joint, bar and music venue” in the Petworth neighborhood.
According to the Washington Post, Suspect was told that Cobb was part of a wedding group, and afterwards they stopped in for the Copstabber performance still wearing formal attire.
While Cobb didn’t get up and dance like the other members of his party, he did put his hands in the air and particularly seemed to enjoy a song called “I Like Cocaine,” according to Suspect.
Good lookin’ group. Thanks for your patronage.

Oh…*THAT* Ty Cobb……
I wasn’t aware that there were two.

I recently found out that all the stories of Ty Cobb the ballplayer being a cheating bastard and horrific racist who boasted about stabbing a black waiter to death can all be traced to a single sports writer who had some personal animus against him. It seems Cobb was rather outspoken at the time that he believed that MLB should welcome any black player who could make it in the big leagues, and is said to have been a fan of several Negro League teams, neither of which won him many friends in contemporary society.
There is some questioning regarding the history of Ty Cobb. As far as I’m tracking, history isn’t 100% on the legend of Ty Cobb. In my opinion, Al Stubb (the writer who started that “legend”) was a hack who has created the worst stories about the best ballplayer in history.
I recommend you check out this Prager. U video that talks about Ty Cobb.

Not trying to be a dick or anything but thought I could offer another perspective about Ty Cobb the ballplayer. Hope you enjoy some of the links.
Much obliged.
“I Like Cocaine.” Could be a cool tune, despite the lyrics. And speaking of lyrics, how many of us thought for years that the words to a particular song were one thing, only to learn much later, that they were something else entirely? My all-time screw-up was a song whose lyrics, I was certain, were, “How’s about a date?” They actually were, “Eyes without a face.” It never occurred to me that a question that begins, “How’s about…,” just might not be right. Hey. It sounded fine to me.
Don’t feel too bad, Air Cav. When I was four, I thought the words to Silent Night included “Brown John Virgin” instead of “’round yon Virgin”. But I was four.
I didn’t know there was more than one Ty Cobb.
“‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy”….
lol.. I always thought the song Michael rowed the boat ashore, said “like a rose thats blown ashore” lol
Revved up like a douche.
Two chickens to paralyze.
We built this city on sausage rolls.
It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not.
Here we are now, in containers.
(Shall I go on?)
She’s a body mover.
Yep. But the biggest thing about that song is that up until about 5 years ago, I thought that The Sir Douglas Quintet was a British Invasion act. Nope. Just some good old boys from Texas and 2 of the guys were Mexican American! Woops.
I have really gotten into Doug Sahm over the past couple of years and think it’s a crying shame that he’s neither in the Rock and Roll nor Country halls of fame. Just an incredible musician and bandleader.
I was lucky enough to see Doug live a few times, usually with his compatriot Augie Meyers, who is still performing. For me, Doug Sahm and Joe Ely are the two giants of Texas rock.
I think you mentioned that before. When he played rock, he rocked. When he played country he showed how it should be done. Hell, he’d even sing “corridos” in Spanish! And I gotta say, his song “Oh No, Not Another One” described those “New Country” guys to a T! Check it out on YouTube when you get a chance.
She’s a bowel movement!
“Ain’t no woman like the one eyed Gott”.
A personal favorite.
Pour some shook up Ramen
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
400 children lost in the field
Donuts make my brown eyes blue
You picked a fine time to burn me, Miss Lee,
4 days to port call and a case of VD.
I had a good time, I lived through the short time, but this time it’s herpes type III…
We built tent city on rocks and stones
I thought it was..
It took a hardon to please you Lucille
You picked a fine time to leave me Miss Lee
No Clearing Papers and a case of VD…
Sang in many a Korean bar we went to during my tour there.
We gotta bathroom arising? lol
Give me an iron lung
I knew a guy who was stationed in Georgia (Warner-Robbins) back in the 70’s who sang this in a bar on a dare. The band playing in this honky tonk was called “The Night Riders.” The kicker? My buddy is African-American!
Rising like a spider (with apologies to Survivor)
“In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is parse and brown.”
Wait…what???
Yea, got thrown out of 3rd grade music class for belting that out, even though I was sure it was correct.
Yeah, I screwed that up as a kid as well. How ’bout Johnny Rivers…”Secret Asian Man”?
I was Barney Rubble
I’m surprised nobody pasted this one up there yet.
“Blinded by the light;
Wrapped up like a douche and the runs in the night.
Then…
And little Early Burley gave my anus curly whirly, and asked me if I needed a ride !!!
Circa Huckleberry Creek 1977 with many thanks to Carl, Clagg (Craig) and his Chevette that NEVER ran out of gas, Tony, Mike Mogul and Rich for the most damn fun you can ever have in uniform !!!
I always heard that one as “Wrapped up like a douche, another odor in the night.”
I never understood why Hendrix wanted to kiss that guy.
I could never really grasp why Creedence Clearwater Revival was singing about the “bathroom on the right.”
There’s a fairly recent live version, John Fogerty actually sings that line and cracks himself up.
Laughing my ass off.
Yeah, he came to accept that everyone thought he was talking about the location of the latrine and just decided “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”
I used to rock out to Candyman until my teenage daughter pointed out the line wasn’t:
He’s a one stop shop, makes the pennies drop
Dammit.
I have a couple books of “mondegreens” compiled by Gavin Edwards: “Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy” and “He’s Got The Whole World In His Pants”. Very funny stuff.
I have a feeling that the Slash Run is not a place where we would see prominent Libs harassed by Conservatives if they came in for a meal.
Then again, not only are Conservatives better behaved in general, the Slash Run features real meat, and Libs only want Tofu and other rabbit crap. Real meat scares them.
Well, we offer veggie wings (whatever they are).
We? I must have missed something about the TAH resto. I’ve seen the picture on the left but didn’t know it was something more than a place that some DC dickweeds like.
I’ve tried to stay away from DC since retiring but this may bring me back since the Mrs wants to play tourist there.
I bought the place for my daughter with my Trump windfall earlier this year.
I missed that! Fantastic! Well, now I have to pay DC a visit. Best to her. We had one in the DC suburbs for almost 12 years. So glad when we sold it. It is hard work and I’m a geezer.
Jonn,
My daughter is representing Utah at Girls Nation in DC from July 21 -28. I was using her trip as an excuse to see my parents in NYC and then head down to DC for her graduation ceremony. I am going to do my best to come check the place out!
For the love of God, WHY???
It’s DC and most everyone (even hippies) have jobs and disposable income in the Trump Era.
“We offer veggie wings.” Sounds like an entry in the misheard lyrics department. Gotta be a song there somewhere.
I’m just trying to figure out which vegetables fly.
Zucchinis fly. When no one is looking, they sprout little wings and take advantage of their bullet shaped fruit to go wandering in the night air.
Cucumbers sometimes do that, too, but they have to be the pickling size.
I thought you were going to mention one of the more famous high-wire circus acts: The Flying Zucchinis.
I haven’t thought about the Zucchini Bros in ages! Thank you!
But what about The Flying Burrito Brothers?
Surely I’m not that old?

Still listen to ’em, their version of “Six Days on the Road” is every bit as good as Dave Dudley’s. Rivals NRPS’ “Hello Mary Lou”.
Libs wouldn’t be harassed. It’d look like an old western where sheepherder strolls into a saloon full of cowboys, and it goes dead quiet except for the swinging doors.
Or the other way around.
Running joke when I was at prototype in Idaho Falls was to walk into a local bar called The Hub, sniff deeply, then loudly declare, “I smell sheep shit!”
Until one guy actually did it, and would up in jail (post ER) for a couple of days.
Nukes tend to be smart, only problem is more than a few are lacking in the common sense department.
I grew up outside of Driggs, ID, I’m familiar with the Hub! It’s an Irish pub now.
“Oi smells ship shite”!
Hey!!! Speaking of anything Irish …. where the BLOODY HELL is MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)?
He’s busy keeping America safe.
I spent way too much of my “Yute” in Dingle, Montpelier, and Soda Springs.
We’ll need to get on touch.

Copstabber?? Seriously?
We couldn’t find a punk rock band that calls themselves Police Officers Huggers.
By the way, my daughter picks up the tab of any DC Metro cop who comes in while in uniform.
With that look on his face, he looks like he really ty’d one on at the bar
But he’s playing the shit out of that air guitar.
So, when is TAH night? It occurs to me that there are enough Dickweeds in MD, VA, and WV to have one.
Show your FirsTech Solutions corporate ID and you get $2 off any appetizer.
Lucky sperm sampler and MD 20/20 shots not included.
Even the Veggie Wings? Do you offer valet parking for vintage Jaguars?
If we did have a TAH night, can you imagine the epic impromptu floor show that would ensue if we could only get some of the more famous posers to show up as well (while wearing all of their poser finery and bling, of course)?
Stand-up comedy at its finest.
Lots of high schools have senoir trips to DC.
Seems like a nice place to visit on the tour.
Applicable laws notwithstanding of course.
