Has anyone else here gotten an unrequested membership with Ducks Unlimited? They're offering me a fleece jacket and a magazine subscription at a discounted membership due.

I must be on too many mailing lists.

The other day, I heard a complaint that if a guy tells other guys he's from Seattle, they'll say, "Oh, how do you like them Seahawks/Mariners/etc.?" And if he says he doesn't follow sports, they assume he's gay. Similar problems exist for other cities' straight men who don't follow sports.

This may be a fringe benefit to living in DC these days: Our teams suck, so we're almost never asked. And if we are asked, we just need to say they suck.

Mind you, this is just a theory. I haven't spent much consecutive time in other parts of the U.S., so outside guys aren't likely to get into that chummy talk with me. I went to college in Ohio, but that was hardly a sporty school.
