PSA to the Lounge: PeterU wins the Lizard triple crown..

[TZ]

He's on LynneSin's tool list..Midlo has him as a doofus, and I have decided he is the resident nerdball! (a long treasured insult in my family).
In honor of this acheivement, I invite you all to bash Baltimore!
I will start: Baltimore wants to be like Washington (has a "Beltway" has a "Metro") but isn't....:P

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. Yes, I'm afraid Baltimore isn't Washington after all....

Given that Balmer actually has, you know, a baseball team that has won a World Series in relatively recent memory, I'd say there is a distinct difference between the two burghs. :P

Not to mention the fact Baltimore's airport wasn't named after one of the worst presidents of the 20th Century. :P

[TZ]

2. 83 is RECENT?

Okay oldtimer....:rofl:
Please note that my Nats have only been in existence for umm 5 years..I'd like to see how well the Birds would've done in the Nats/Expos position....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. I seem to remember a certain NFL team moving to Baltimore...

...and winning the Super Bowl within 4 years. Something about the DC water doesn't breed winners like it does 40 miles north.

[TZ]

5. They didn't exactly start from scratch

Like the Nats did...It helps when the State GIVES YOU REVENUE--If the Nats have been given 40 million, I wonder what they could've done...

7. I seem to remember a certain NL team moving to Washington...

Like the Nats did...It helps when the MLB gives you everything.

Given the rich history of the Montreal Expos.

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

14. Hmmm. The Reagan Nationals/Expositions I don't think have ever

even won a divisional title.

Of course the O's are the remains of the old St. Louis Browns!!1!!

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

4. Slow down there Snyder. Baltimore named its airport after a true American Hero

(Thurgood Marshall), unlike the folks in washington who renamed their airport and baseball team after a disgraced president.

:hide:

[TZ]

6. Pfft.

You live in the wanna be Washington burb of Columbia with allegiance to Baltimore..You are biased!

[madinmaryland]

8. You can't refute that argument, can you Snyder!

:rofl:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. He could live in Laurel.

Oh wait, Laurel said screw you, we're rooting for Baltimore to Jack Kent Cooke when he tried to move the Redskins there.

[Dr. Strange]

10. Baltimore is the Chuggo of the northeastern US.

Aw c'mon fuckin' Baltimore.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. That's just not true!

There are many people also consider Baltimore to be part of the Southeast.

[KamaAina]

15. Ah yes, "the city with northern charm and southern efficiency"

then again, that line has also been used on DC (and St. Louis), so I can remain neutral, for the moment at least.

[madinmaryland]

16. "southern efficiency"?? Isn't that an oxymoron??

:hide:

[KamaAina]

17. As is "northern charm", generally speaking. That's the whole point.

I think it was JFK who got off that quip about DC. This from a man who accepted an honorary degree from my alma mater with the words, "I now have the best of both worlds: a Harvard education and a Yale degree."!

11. Fuck You Baltimore
