If it annoys you that much, it may be a deal breaker. Certainly bad accents are a deal breaker for me. I've only once dated a Yankee, but he hadn't lived in the N.E. for years and years, which had softened the grating edge.

First off, thank you for knowing that a Yankee is not a New Yorker but a New Englander. I dont think Dr. Peripatetic figured that out, but he certianly seems to know that Maryland is partially a southern state.

Second, there is no accent more grating than the Bahston accent. THere is this hot guy at my local southern red sox fan bar, who sounds like Ted Kennedy on acid. Its like, "hey baby, why dont you shut your mouth?". Could never date him. ever. Even if he threw out his black reeboks and acid washed jeans.

Third, peripatetic is like one of three ten cent words that were misused. He also ccalls himself a cognitive minority. I thought this meant that though he is white, he perceives himself to be a minority bc blacks are the majority in DC. That wasnt it.

Cutish doesnt enter into the equation til here. CUtish could ratchet up to cute easily on a good persoanlity. Or get knocked down to fugly with a series of bad puns. Its right there on the Mason-Dixon line.

Oh yeah, the Thrashers are yet undefeated. We tied the Rangers (I will not mention the plethora of shitty calls that were made, but you know who you are).

You tied the Fishsticks. The I-HOLES. Say it with me - EYE-LAN-DERS.

You play the Blueshirts tonight at 7pm EST.

Shudder. You must be kidding. Please say you are kidding. Did their mothers never yell at them for bringing home bird feathers as kids because birds carry disease?!

Yeah, tell it to my flipping twatwit of a moronic ex-housemate who cleaned her parakeet cage in the kitchen sink.

Southern Red Sox fans.

THat was a wicked great game, y'all.

SHut the fuck up.

WHere in this city is there a bar with either Yankees fans or Red Sox fans from New England?

Paigow, you haven't been in DC or south of the Mason-Dixon Line for very long have you? I'd also guess that you have never seen "Damn Yankees" in which case you'd understand.

There is no such thing as a "Southern" Red Sox fan. If the Yankees win tonight, I guarantee that everyone in a DC bar cheering for the Red Sox to win tonight will be cheering for the Marlins. They aren't cheering for the Red Sox to win, they are cheering for the Yankees to lose. Quite simply, Washington is an old American League city and the baseball fans there have largely shifted their alliances to the Orioles - and in every American League city except for New York, the second most popular team is whoever is playing the Yankees. My guess is in Washington, you're mainly dealing with Orioles fans who hate the Yankees. Or perhaps Braves fans - because Atlanta was long the only team in the Southeast and their AAA team is in Richmond, they have a strong following in the Commonwealth.

I know the Washington Post published a list of bars that cater to fans of out of town football teams. Quite simply, you need to go to a bar that caters to transplanted New Yorkers or New Englanders.

This just reminded me that the boy who won't go to the movie theater with me wore black jeans on our last date. I gently mocked him (ok, not so gently) and he had no idea why I was making fun of his "good" (yeah, that's a quote) black jeans.

Now that's a dealbreaker. At least they weren't Calvin Klein, but still.

I dated a boy from South Carolina once whose mother liked me so much she referred to me as the "YANKEE JEW WHORE". To my face. Seriously.

That, my friends, was a deal breaker.

Smart slackers are the best people to surround yourself with...

True as the day is long. The trick is to be a slacker and succeed. And it can be done. You'll never be Rupert Murdoch, but you'll do allright if you know how to work it. The older I get, the more I realize perception and image are more important than reality. Present yourself as a driven Dale Carnegie go-getter and ye shall be one... I find the whole phenomenon of succeeding in this and other similar professions so utterly arbitrary its laughable, and a bit pathetic. I learned a while ago that people mistake my loathing for intensity and think its a sign that I'm dedicated. The more tantrums I throw, the more they seem to think I'm working my ass off, while the quiet guy who's really into this shit is getting yelled at for being apathetic. Law's a great field for manipulators... 99% of lawyers can't read other people for shit.

edited to add: I forgot the best part --- he told me that the place we were going was kind of nice so I couldn't wear normal jeans. Then he showed up in black jeans.

edited to add -- fuck, so I don't know the difference between "edit" and "quote". At least I don't wear black jeans.

While I know that the Southern red sox fans are really just anti yankees, they were proactively chering the sox. the reason I hate them is that

1) The people who annoy the shit out of me are southern. They are not O's fans. If they even watch baseball at all and arent doing what their boyfriends and /or the crowd is telling them, they are Braves fans. Braves are a different league.

2) If you ask one of these southern nitwits why they are rooting against the yankees, they will say one of two things

#1 they are *yankees*. Guess what , mental midget, the Red Sox are yankees and the yankees are not. Go soak your hair in bleach and paint your fingernails. Suck my dick. get out of the bar. Something. Just make yourself useful.

#2. The payroll. The Yanks are buying the world series. Oh really, Shari Lou? Then why are you rooting for the Braves who do the same thing, but with a lot fewer rings to show for it? Go sit in some flattering lighting and wait for your man to come home. And suck my dick with your pink lipsticked lips.

Do you have a link to the Post article?

Don't even get me started. The moral of the story is she should not have brought a bird into a house with a cat.

I'm confused. You seem to know where the Mason Dixon line is, but yet you don't know where Yankees come from?
