New Entries For The Insulting Gazeteer

Thanks to Colby Cosh for pointing to this negative review of the new Nats uniform from causal Expos fan Evan Mac:

The team's logo, befitting the home market, looks designed by committee. No doubt it will acquire a following among surburban lamers from Falls Church and Bethesda . . .

Well, at least those "suburban lamers" -- who in both of the above cases, live closer to downtown D.C. than most New Yorkers do to downtown Manhattan -- will go to see the team a lot more often than Evan ever did.

The next time you want to make fun of suburban lamers in the D.C. area, give me a call for a more appropriate choice. After all we've got Frederick, Md. (better known in these parts as "Fred-neck"), Dumfries-Manassas (or "Dumb-Ass" Virginia), or even my neighborhood, Reston, Va. (it's not dead, it's just Reston!).

In the meantime, enjoy the bus ride to Ottawa to watch the Lynx.

    The logo looks like a Fuddrucker’s sign.
