How to catch a beating…
I know Boston is packed with people from all over the world. It’s an attribute that makes the city as great as it is, and it’s largely due to our education institutions. But this doesn’t come without it’s drawbacks as well. You tend to find a percentage of a**holes that take up residence here. They like to flip cars after we win championships, smash windows and on any given weekend night you can spot them acting like complete slobs after a night of binge drinking. They wander the streets like 2 year old children in diapers. Everyone once and a while one of these amateurs gets knuckled pretty badly because they cross paths with someone who is not in the mood for their antics. Or they drank away their only smidge of street smarts and end up without an iPhone and a wallet. Sorry, but 90% of the time I can’t say that I feel bad….
“But why Dot Rat?”
Oh well let me give an example to you. It’s simple actually….is this what you want on your Boston Common?
How this cop kept his cool is amazing….because I wouldn’t….which is exactly why I never wanted to be a cop.
Am I the poster child for all things good? Nope, but I’m not this guy either.
You from Boston?
It’s pretty common these days for anyone living within the 495 loop to claim they are from Boston. For Bostonians…this little fudged detail tends to get under our skin like no other. Why wouldn’t someone want to be from a place like Cohasset, Plymouth or …
It’s gonna be an action packed Saturday…
You have 2 must see events this Saturday…up first is Nowhere USA at the Beachcomber on Wollaston Beach. As always this will be an all out assault on your senses…. After your ears stop ringing….head over to McConnell Park in Savin Hill for the …
Dot is proud!
Bill Traft and Marc Anthony Muniz did a fantastic job representing Dorchester last night. First up in the amateur matches was Muniz who from the opening bell started working a stiff left jab that seemed to stop his opponent dead in his tracks every time …
More Sugar!
Just got the word that our official ass kicker Billy “Sugar” Traft will be fighting November 10th. You can always count on Bill fighting like a Dot Rat…the leather will fly my friends. Once I get all the concrete details you will be first to …
Mushrooms on the Common…
Hide your Doritos and Devil Dogs….the Freedom Rally is back on the Boston Common this weekend. It’s been quite a number of years since I have been to one of these.

The last one I went to I ended up working stage security for Sam Black Church and Letters to Cleo. I liked these gigs because it was a little extra beer money for the weekend and you got to see a show. Turned out to be an interesting day. I had some dude who decided to eat a bag of mushrooms essentially start acting like he was a bull about to charge me. He literally had fingers up next to his head like he had horns….kicking the dirt….dude was wacked out. So…I’m keeping him off my six….one eye on him…one on the crowd…he’s on the other side of the mosh pit. Then Sam Black Church starts a new song….it’s a face melter…the crowd starts to contract then swell….the pit goes nuts. Sure enough I lose tripping bull in the chaos. Lucky for me someone else spotted him and shouted. I turn around and see this asshole with his tie dye and dreads running full steam at me, still making horns with this “i’m tripping balls” look on his face. WTF right? I just wanted to hang out. Sooooo….I wait till the last second…..take a step to my left and leaned in with a straight right elbow. Now I aimed for him forehead, because it didn’t want to jack up his teeth or his nose….he was just having a screwy trip after all. It ended up looking more like a clothesline….and down does tripping bull. Well…tripping bull rolls over and takes off into the crowd again. About 4 minutes later….there goes homeboy again….this time he’s heading right for a mounted Boston cop.
People I couldn’t believe my friggin eyes. Anyway, raging bull ended up bouncing off the side of the horse and smacking his head off the cement walkway. The cop immediately jumps off the horse and punches the shit out this dude. Within minutes a gang of blue shows up…twist hippie boy into a pretzel and throw him in a paddy wagon…..game over.
So my fellow Dot Rats….if you decide to take the train down to Park Street this weekend….stay away from the shrooms….try and be safe….and have a good time. And for Christ’s sake….don’t go charging a f*cking horse.
Boston Cops hate punk skateboarders…
Listen, I love skateboarding, I suck at it but I do appreciate it. There needs to be more spots around the city for skateboarders to do their thing. But when a Boston cop tells you to screw…do yourself a favor…don’t argue. I know you all …
