Marry me.The Spoonbender on Neighborhoodies: There's probably a good reason to exclaim to passers-by that you're a gentrifying hipster, and you and your intern friend successfully chased an Ecuadorian family of six out of your sweet two bedroom apartment with your daddy-subsidized rent checks. There's no doubt that a two-word phrase is much more pithy than telling everyone within shouting distance that you're an irritating whore who claims that Geek Love is her favorite book, which is true only so far as it's the only book she's read since A Tale of Two Cities in eighth grade.

The Roar of the Masses Could Be FartsI'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks those sweatshirts are stupid. (Though this one is pretty funny. 'Course it's not a Neighborhoodie.)

Posted by: jpoulos at June 16, 2005 04:21 PMThat's it. I'm going to get me a Neighborhoodie. Gray, with big blue letters.
Saying "QUITO".
Posted by: Vidiot at June 16, 2005 04:39 PMI will admit that I've been tempted to get one that says "Palookaville." Or "East Jabip."

Posted by: jpoulos at June 16, 2005 04:55 PMHereabouts, we refer to that location as "BFE", short for "Bumfuck, Egypt."
I'm not entirely certain why we go out of our way to specify "Egypt." Perhaps to ensure no one confuses our Bumfuck with, say, "Bumfuck, Rhode Island", or "Bumfuck, Zimbabwe."
Posted by: Fes at June 16, 2005 05:16 PMCan I order one for LEADERONIA?
Posted by: SECRETARIAT OF THE GREAT LEADER at June 16, 2005 10:21 PMSorta Fessy, we called BFE 'butt-fucking Egypt'. AKA, cruising down the Cairo Canal.
Posted by: ufez at June 17, 2005 12:50 AMButt-fucking in Egypt will get you thrown in jail.
This has been a public service announcement.
Posted by: jpoulos at June 17, 2005 12:59 PMLittle known southern Illinois factoid: The region around Carbondale, including upwards of four-five counties and nearly reaching my house, is referred to historically as "Little Egypt." It could be this is why we cap our Bumfuck with Egypt. Buttfucking in general, while at least silently frowned upon, is still to my knowledge perfectly legal.
