Jake does calamari…

For some it’s all about fried clams while for others its all about lobster in its various incarnations. New England has got the best seafood on the planet and I am a firm believer it’s our region’s Portuguese influence that helps put us over the 

Why the country?

So Country Fest is around the corner again and I’m still trying to figure out where all these country fans came from. I’m a Zac Brown fan myself…and it’s because those guys are pure musicians in my book. Ok, I dig some Johnny Cash too….let’s 

Hello?

Hello?

So yeah ummm…Merry New Year – Happy Kwanzaa – Salutations – grá agat – 多切斯特岩石

Don’t pretend like you didn’t miss me – And yes, I know I haven’t written as much as I used to. To be quite honest, this writing shit can be tough. Sure, I could regurgitate bad news like the 40 million other websites out there but there’s really nothing original about it. Dotrat.com should be good for your cardiovascular health and not add to your stress level.

How about some news about me instead?

So… I’m pretty excited about 2015. To start off my year I get to watch the Patriots play this former cast member of the Goonies on Saturday….

suggs

 

I know right, such a handsome devil. Yeah, yeah – everyone knows Terrell Suggs is a gifted athlete but why isn’t anyone addressing why he has the gums of a great white shark?

These are the important questions…and since Suggs has made it a point to be a complete dick every time we face him….I figured why not be a maverick here.

In other news about me – apparently I was blowing up Facebook’s shit something fierce….either that or some little bitch complained. My profile was forced to turn into a page…which is fine by me…but still an adjustment.

You see – little Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t like when you screw with his algorithms – his system is designed to take as much of your personal information as possible because at the end of the day, that data makes him money. Me on the other hand, I make every attempt possible to keep my data just that….mine.

Lets see…..what else? Oh yeah – got a tooth pulled for the first time on New Years eve. That was an experience but nothing a dozen beers couldn’t solve. Big shout out to Kate Sweeney over at East Milton Dental – she’s the most legit dentist I have ever been to. She made sure that this Dot Rat didn’t miss any festivities!

Dude – WTF is up with these New Era hats?

A two dollar hat out of the factory in China – retail you would figure 25 bucks right?

Try anywhere from 100 to 150 bucks right now online – if you find any floating around cheap, snatch them up. You may make yourself a mortgage payment.

Alright as you were….

 

 

The Dot Drone…

The Dot Drone…

Well, I’m a big kid at heart and I do love technology. So…I need to get one of these drones in my life and I’m already looking into the Let’s Fly Wisely drone buyers guide so that I can buy the best one for my 

Dot Ale Casting Call…

Dot Ale Casting Call…

Want to be in Dorchester’s very first beer commercial?

The chug a beer challenge…

The chug a beer challenge…

So this guy Marc Butler put this out the other day and it’s pure brilliance. I’m lining up some Dot Ales right now and will be issuing this very challenge shortly.

PMS should not be taken lightly and we should raising awareness!

Dorchester gets it’s own beer…

Dorchester gets it’s own beer…

That’s right…Dot is so badass it finally got it’s own beer. For a person like me who loves beer so much so that I visited this go url last week to get a Kegerator at home, this news of Dot sounded exciting. The good folks 

Dennis Lehane gives a tour…

Dennis Lehane gives a tour…

If you read Dennis Lehane you know he’s one brilliant Dot Rat. I’m a huge fan of history so watching him give this little tour based on his book The Given Day was awesome. I’m not 100%, but I thought I read somewhere this was 

The Boston Beer-A-Thon?

The Boston Beer-A-Thon?

First off I don’t know about Jersey Shore with his Italia shirt but this looked like a decent time. I totally think Dorchester could do a much better job at something like this.

I propose to you the Dot Keg-A-Thon.

Why a keg? Well they are portable….and Dot Rats don’t stop at 2AM. All the kegs can be rolled right into the parks and then its last person standing. Security would handle itself because Jersey Shore wouldn’t dare stand out on Dot Ave telling people to “hide ya girls”. Yeah I know we do all this on Dot Day…but why not late fall too? Can you imagine one flat price to pound beers at every bar on Dot Ave? That’s straight magic right there….I’m getting excited.

Until this gets done you always have the Dot Rat Halloween Party @ Florian Hall on October 26th. You know that will be epic!

Eire Pub Politics…

Eire Pub Politics…

Ahh the good old Eire Pub. Always a hotbed for politics here in Dorchester. I would even go as far as saying it’s the epicenter of Boston in terms of politics. I have seen quite a few spirited debates over a pint of beer in
