Does 'labels for locals' have a ref? I'm guessing 'Chilango' is the
adjective for Tenochtilan (sp?), which would be cool, I'm just surprised
I've never heard it.
I have never heard _Washingtoniac._ _Evergreener_ refers specifically to
students and alumni of The Evergreen State College. And _Clam Grabbers_
is just more than a descrptive device . . . although clams do sound good
right now, I'm monna go grab me some . . .
