Get the Double Controversy mug.Located about 30-40 minutes from the District of Columbia, Centreville is populated by a mixture of single family homes, townhouses and condos. A somewhat high asian population and a growing mexican population inhibits Centreville. Caucasion families are still the dominant race. A lot of yuppies that commute into the DC-metro area live in Centreville for the slightly lower housing costs Centreville has to offer. Some nightlife points of interest: Centreville multiplex, Ned Devines and that's about it. Restaurants: Bonefish, Sweetwater Tavern, Carrabas, Ruby Tuesday, Charlie Changs, Glory Days, O'Tooles.

Get the contravene mug.The "question" of who's a Green Day fan or not.
Some people (Green Day snobs) think that because they knew of Green Day before "American Idiot" they knew Green Day before they went mainstream. They think that anyone who didn't know about them before "American Idiot" is a poser. The "better fans" seem to think that when Green Day won a grammy for "Dookie", and "Dookie" sold ten million copies, it wasn't going mainstream.
It's annoying when people only like Green Day because they think Billie Joe "is hott", and people can be pissed, but telling said teeny-bopped off won't do anything.
Green Day rocks. Old stuff and new.
