The Coolest Kids in Town: a blog about Baltimore, DC, and the misadventures of two-city life.

Well kids, the Olympics are over. And the US delegation totally kicked ass . But it's not the glory that Tex and I will miss most as our attention returns Stateside, it's the Olympians themselves. You know who I'm talking about. Our hometown hero , that beautiful fool with the terrible taste , my own coup de foudre , and Cullen Jones . One more time, now:  Cullen Jones . So in the name of international friendship, world peace , and our new hero Gabby Douglas  I'd like to present you with an Olympic-themed post just for you. But also for us. Look, this is a safe space so I think we can all just be honest with one another about something: Ryan Lochte would be a lot hotter if he weren't on Twitter . Unfortunately for his public image, he is. Fortunately for us,  The Cut has found a silver lining. Deep Thoughts from Ryan Lochte pairs admittedly hot photos of the Olympian with some of his choicest Tweets. Expect to finish the slideshow disappointed in yoursel...

Maryland is home to so many wonderful things: Tex & Coda, the Naval Academy, those lovable O's, and of course, blue crab. No matter what lies biologists and the Discovery Channel tell you, the blue crab really is the only one worth knowing, or eating. In that light, allow us to direct you to The Crab Guy , a blogger who, as his name implies, writes all about those delectable crustaceans native to the Chesapeake and how best to prepare them .

By the way, making them right will not include a fryer. Ever. If you'd like to take a more scientific approach to learning about crabs and the Bay head on over to Bay Daily , a blog about environmental issues relating to the Chesapeake and her water...

So it's been a few since my last post...honestly, between Stats 651, drinking, and trying to track down my advisor, I've been a bit busy. But don't worry, bitches, you no longer must be lonely and uncool - I'm back! I assume you all have a virb page, have made superheroes of yourself, cut out snowflakes, read McSweeney, painted like Jack the dripper, and bought yourself a fine-fittin' pair of zafu-recommended jeans. Therefore, friends, today I will broach a topic heretofore untouched among us. Yes, today will be all about the sexy sex. First up: Boinkology is a pretty nifty little site run by some pretty smart girls and guys, and it's a very egalitarian place to get your daily sexy-sex tip or article. Not for the kiddies, but generally a pretty tame design. Second, go read some hilarity/tough advice over at: Dan Savage writes a weekly sex advice column that also appears in City Paper in Baltimore & D.C.; he's harsh and hysterical and 99% of the time, u...
