    That's probably because you're a transplant from the South. Nothing wrong with the temperature here in NYC, you're probably just not wearing a hoodie with an ironic drawing and meme. Couple that with a keffiyeh and you'd be all set.

    And it is still so cold that my moustache wax froze solid!

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a hoodie with a cat shooting lasers out of his eyes if your alma mater's mascot is the venerable old Fightin' Laser-eyed Cat.
    -Beats something lame like 'Eagles' by a long shot.

  10. Zeb,

    I couldn't agree more. That's why the rugby club fought against the name change when I played and why they are still called The Mothers today. The name has historical ties (Mary Washington being George's mother) and really gets to the culture and personality of the club. Very sensitive and nurturing like a mother's love.
