D.C. SOCCER MOMS GET INURED TO SEEDY SUBCULTURE OF ONLINE SPORTS-RELATED DICK JOKERY! Drew and I are included in a feature titled “*&#S@% Dan Snyder!” (I believe the word being censored is “Harpoonfu¢k”) in the latest issue of Washingtonian. If you look closely, you can see two Metro trains colliding somewhere in the masthead. Drew kind of dominates the piece, as Drew is given to doing, while I get a few paragraphs recounting that old blog fable about being the guy who got fired by some failing newspaper (another chance for professional old biddy Deborah Howell to call me a sexist, racist, ageist, baby-eating computer Nazi). Buy it for the blog condescension, keep it for the recommendations on the five best bikram yoga places in the Palisades (the answer may surprise you).

I didn’t read that magazine when I lived in DC; I certainly am not going to buy it now that I escaped the place. Congratulations to you and Drew, however, for landing on so many the coffee tables in Potomac and Great Falls. You’ll be tsked-tsked about by the best people!

I’m more interested in your take on the bears in Bethesda, and why you think they ventured away from sipping mint iced teas on restaurant patios on 18th Street.

I’m saddened to see that the tag ‘annoying d.c. humor’ only has one story (this one). Pleeeeease, I live here and there could be plenty more awful humor from dc on this blog.

Am I just not finding a link to the actual article or is there none? Are you just announcing that you’re in a magazine without giving people actual access to it?

Um. No. No, they don’t.
@Michael — If it’s on the newsstands they generally don’t put it up online until the next issue comes out.
