So I have been hearing great things about this flic for a while now and while sitting on the couch last night trying to catch my breath because I’m bloated from the 9000 calories I consumed, I see it pop up on my Netflix menu….it …
So I make the trek down to Braintree this evening to wish my God daughter a very happy birthday at Plaster Fun Time. Turning 4 is a pretty big deal and it was fun to watch a table full of little Dot Rats absolutely wreck the joint. I consider myself a renaissance man but I personally could never get into crafts. More times than not you could find me walking around the neighborhood looking for glassware and pottery to snipe…much to my parents dismay.
The party went well but about a half hour into it I couldn’t help but feel out of place. I kept thinking of that scene in Made where Vince Vaughn was being a fresh pr*ck to one of the workers at a similar operation. I even asked the chick working the room if they had ashtrays to paint…nobody laughed….WTF? But if there was ever a scene that captured my experience….this was it.

If you grew up a Dot Rat, either you played hockey or your neighbors did. When Bobby Orr came to town he infused the neighborhoods with hockey fever. His influence can still be seen on our side streets today…street hockey is part of our fabric now. You have your fans of Caddyshack, Rudy and Hoosiers but the clear favorite in this part of Dot is Slap Shot.
Reggie Dunlop and the Hanson Brothers will always be our heroes!

I just wanted to take a second to congratulate Gina Carano on her new movie “Haywire” that is coming out this weekend. There’s always been a buzz around this girl, but I have this feeling that she is going to be something larger than what everyone …
Not sure what to make of this upcoming web series…it’s certainly low-budget. Take a look and share your thoughts.I’m sure there will be more of these little spinoffs to come….let’s hope they keep things accurate and respectful of the families who lost their loved ones. …
So apparently our most famous Dot Rat Mark Wahlberg was over at Phillips Candy House buying bags of chocolate turtles the other day. (Thanks Emily Sweeney!)
