John Harvard goes Commander Chief

I guess that Hal's not the only one in Boston who enjoys a good prank. Some students at MIT decided to outfit the John Harvard statue in honor of the release of Halo 3. Man I wish that I had an Xbox

just another ashton kutcher

the "beanie plot" went off so well, i could not have planned it any better. leda and her entire office believed that beanie was coming tomorrow to their office, and when my friend called, acting like the director of the lima organization, leda's supervisor got on the phone and actually said they WANTED him to come and were saddened he wasnt.

it wasnt until i called leda, and while she still thought it was real...and he was coming tom. morning, i broke it to her that it was all fake. the calls. the emails. the form. all fake. i just wish i could have seen her face when my friend called her. haha. oh man.

Over and out

and in this corner...

I would just like to say that, in fact I am working at Crate & Barrel...or as we call it "the crate". Yes, yes gentlemen (and brad) I have ventured into the world of retail (tail as i like to call it)It is actually a funny story of how i got to be working there.

First off, Boston is wicked expensive and with my drinking style, some call it a habit, I tend to spend a lot of money. And despite my greatest efforts, I cannot snag me a waitress every night to get me free beer and rides home. So that is part of the reason. The other reason is even better, when I was with "the one who shall not be named" I was in the crate. While I was purchasing my Bamboo sugar and flour containers, the girl behind the counter was BLAITENTLY hitting on me in front of "the one who shall not be named". I was so honored and amused with this, I decided this is where I wanted to work. So i applied, got the job, and worked with THAT girl on monday, and again on thursday, and again on sunday! hahahahaha.

NICE. WOW.

Uh Oh! BC Tickets

Washington, DC

Well,

I have suddenly gone from having 0 BC tickets to having 6. Andrew and I need one each, which if you are playing along at home, leaves me with...4. I might be able to move 2 of them, which would leave me with 2 because even I couldn't quite talk Pat or Hal into making it out this year. On another note, if anyone has an idea of how to snag a Parking Pass so that we could have our own tailgate, I'm all ears. I figured I'd give you gents first heads up.

Holla,

Crate and Barrel

In the spirit of congratulating Hal,

And seeing as most of us don't get the chance to chat with him so often, I felt it was far past due to announce Hal's second job at Crate and Barrel. Hal, if I ever find myself in Boston, and I realize I'm screwed and forgot I'm throwing an elegant dinner party on a budget, I only hope you are my Super Salesmen to save the day.

Cheers Buddy, I'm buying round 2.

Please explain... I would really ENJOY it.

Seaside, FL

Did I miss something? Why are people now signing their posts with a reference to a skateboard company. I'm sure there's a logical explanation, but I'm all alone down here in Seaside with no one to clue me in.

Oh and apparently somebody went on a post editing rampage and added "hometowns" to the beginning of each post... don't worry, I saved you the trouble this time, but Brian's gotta get with the program.

Boiler Up?

Washington, DC

Gents, It's Purdue week. That time of year in every man's life where they are faced with a pissed of redneck nation that savors beating Notre Dame to the point where celebrating the ND score magically finds it's way on the side of your Sun Bowl Loser's Ring. In that spirit, I present to you one of my favorite pictures, and a constant source of smiles.

Enjoi,

New Music Minus The Bear Equals Even Less Money

Fellas,

So maybe I do sleep with new Jimmy Eat World singles under my pillow, who doesn't. That new single they have out right now is rockin' the socks off, almost as hard as I have been rockin the local record store around the corner, yes, vinyls & obscure cds within walking distance is a beautiful thing. New tunes that should be looked into;

Minus The Bear - "Planet of Ice"
The National - "Boxer"
Spoon - "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" (Possibly best Artist/Album name combo I've seen in a while)
The New Pornographers - "Challengers"
The Black Keys - "Magic Potion"
Shiny Toy Guns - "We Are Pilots"
SIA - "Colour The Small One"

Martin - Fantastic call on The National, excellent album, and I hope to get some ideas from anyone else that has some good tunes hanging around.

Also, If anybody feels like taking a road trip to Pittsburgh this weekend, Minus The Bear will be here playing at The Diesel Club & Lounge, and if the name isnt good enough, I kid you not, it is the Club Fever of Pittsburgh. It should be a fantastic show. I'm out and to quote Mr Floro...

My mom tells dirty jokes

Seaside, FL

Here's a joke for you courtesy of my mother... the same one who sent me a "You're mom thinks I'm hot" T-shirt. She's starting to scare me.

-Brad

The son of a wiseguy goes to confession and the following conversation ensues:

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl".
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation."
Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Cathy Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosie Di Angelo, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, Joey Pagano, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
"4 months vacation and five good leads."
