@chobaii @ohNoobDerp Gas station, couple of shops, weird looking hotel, and all the traffic signs have Roman and Cyrillic letters, except the Cyrillic letters are spray painted over because all the locals are Croats. One big traffic jam. You are missing nothing.

@jessehawken There was (still might be) a car wash in Newport RI known as Mr. Sparkle. It pre-dated the show. Every time I used to drive by I would say to myself "Hello American Investor" and "Very Disrespectful To Dirt".

Happy Friday. Just remember while you are recycling and biking to save the earth, some jackarse is flying from Bedford to Logan. Hard to stay positive with this. @universalhub

@OnlyInBOS They are selling it and leasing it back. They are not leaving. It is simply an accounting move. All you suburban goons talking about crime and that they are closing are f'ing clueless. Go away.

@ennuigo Then again, I was on an Aer Lingus charter out of Boston in 1976 with my parents and lots and lost of cops. There was a three piece band going by the flight crew's station in the back of the 747 and enough second hand smoke that I am going to be dead by the time I am 72.

@Ally_Sammarco All women between legal driving age and the end of menopause get to drive in the HOV lanes now no questions asked as far as I'm concerned. Just say "I think I'm pregnant" if you get pulled over.

@Super70sSports Pulled off the scrap heap by Dan Duquette. Starter, reliever, closer. Drank on the mound at Yankee Stadium almost one year to the day after giving that HR to Aaron Boone. Selflessly sat out the 07 WS at the request of the team. Went to every fundraiser he was asked. A man.

@virtualham @RexChapman Substitute teachers in my high school would call out for Siobhan pronouncing it Syobhan and then look around at the Haitian and African American kids. Siobhan, whose family was from the West of Ireland would then sheepishly have to raise her hand. Siobhan is Irish for Joan.

@DudespostingWs My dad had this happen to him when he was putting in a fence near the former Quincy MA shipyard. An old Italian guy who used to work at the shipyard told my dad he was 2 inches off on one of the cuts with him standing 40 feet away. He was right.
