My childhood was also diverse, just not economically so. Virtually everyone I knew was upper middle class. A few were rich. I knew tons of people from other races, mostly because they were from other countries — the sons and daughters of diplomats. My best African-American friend was the son of the first black brain…

I loathe the Penguins. And a tip of the baseball cap for acknowledging the interstate rivalry. And for also probably realizing better than others how much of this was performance art, at least on my end.

And yet I'm not rich, nor was I born to a rich family. Just standard upper middle class. So it's even more impressive in my case.

Well, my boat is on the Potomac. I'm willing to sell, though, so if you know someone...

I'm a man so I had to look up chukka boots and then realized I have some, but had no idea that's what they're called. Anyway, literally anything is better than socks with boat shoes. Chukka boots. Beatle boots. Frostbite. Anything.

They get Hanukkah off because it's near Christmas. When I was a kid the schools stayed open for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but generally teachers would not assign anything that would be used later on a test. I don't have any kids in the school system yet so they may be closing them now. But the point is, there's no…

God bless Maryland, my Maryland.

Yeah, the further north you go in the county, the less white it becomes. I should have stipulated that southern MoCo, where I'm from and live, is overwhelmingly white. Good catch.

Unless herpes burn is the new thing in oral sex, I don't think she's going to ever win that award.

No socks with boat shoes. I love my boat shoes. Wear them as late into the year as is decent. No socks with boat shoes. Decent people don't do that.

That's setting the bar pretty low for caring about something.

Montgomery County schools also don't acknowledge the holidays of Hindu, Shinto, Zoroastrian, Norse or animist religions. Nor does it acknowledge the holidays of splinter sects within Christianity, Judaism or Islam. If it is discriminating against Islam, it is also discriminating against all those other groups — and…

Agreed. Someone has to pay for the mattress removal and the people who dumped them there are the ones who have to get the bill. Maybe Columbia can make their campus safer in the meantime and then call it even.

It's not really necessary to stipulate that drinking or eating anything in the bathroom is disgusting. Ditto for dick pics.

I posted this elsewhere, but I think it addresses your question.

I'm a dude who has never once even considered sending a dick pic — I've steadfastly refused requests to send dick pics — but I'm going to take a crack at this one anyway.

No food in the bathroom. It's an iron rule of the universe. Anyone who does not understand this is probably beyond help.

Worse, I'm from southern Montgomery County. Bethesda-Potomac. Everything the rest of MD hates, but can't do anything about 'cause all the money is here.

A very small percentage of men care about fashion. Very small.
