On any given night past 2AM, you can stroll through the streets of Boston and hear the obnoxious ramblings of a people who dropped enough tips to elude those who are TIPS certified in order to get tipsy. We are drinkinest city in America after 

Get down!

Get down!

Check out the lengths people go through to get a cat out of a tree. If I was to put a pricetag on gear alone we are talking about 700 bucks. What if a branch snapped?

Cats are not even that useful, all they do is get caught in trees, eat and ruin furniture. They are little drama queens to boot with serious attitude problems. Meanwhile you got dogs jumping out of airplanes with the Navy Seals and saving the world. In terms of pure economics, all I’m saying is a Cat doesn’t warrant this type of response. A dog on the other hand….send in the chopper.

What happened to the good old days when Dot Rats used a Nerf Ball and a trash barrel for Cats?

There’s just too much risk vs. reward….

Dot Rat Baseball – 1957

Dot Rat Baseball – 1957

This is the time of year I start craving baseball. You know all those huge fields all over Dorchester? At one time, they were used for baseball instead of soccer. The Boston Park League was so popular at one time, 5000 people would show up

Live from Rino’s…

I don’t know about you, but there is no other food on the planet I love more than Italian. Even for an Irish lad, I consider myself pretty versed in Italian/American cuisine. Sh*tty commute aside, when I worked on the North Shore I was able to experience some of the best Italian shops around. You can keep your touristy overpriced spots in the North End, most of them can’t even come close to the small mom and pops Italian specialty shops further North. One of those places is a quick shot through the tunnel in East Boston. If you haven’t been to Rino’s Place, get it on your bucket list.

Take the menu, hang it on the wall, throw a dart at it and whatever the dart lands on….have that….you will not be disappointed. Just make sure to patch up the hole, you don’t need any burly Italian guys smacking you up and down Saratoga Street for messing up the walls.

After your meal, you may even luck out. Check out Herb Reed and the Platters throwing down a classic after dinner the other night….Forget about it!!
