Double D’s and the cruller dilemma…

Double D’s and the cruller dilemma…

First off…I don’t eat doughnuts that often. But when I do, I prefer crullers. I walk into into a Dunks today and was jonesing for a donut….it’s been about 4 months since my last one (sounds like penance…I know)   After ordering the typical sh*tty 

Oh my hangover…

Oh my hangover…

So it looks like Pauly D. killed it last night over in Marina Bay…I’m sure there’s a quite a few people walking around work today that can hear the sun coming through the window.

Coyotes on Wollaston Beach…

Coyotes on Wollaston Beach…

So I’m cruising Wolly beach today when I notice what other people were shrugging off as a small dog. The poor fellow was very skittish…afraid of all the traffic and very wary of people…as he should be. This coyote was just a pup and probably got separated from it’s crew. Called Quincy PD because I didn’t want any kids approaching it and they said couldn’t do anything because it was a protected species?? I really wasn’t looking for a sniper and a swat team…just someone to maybe get it back to the woods….but whatever. Maybe he just wanted some fried clams….or maybe he was going to see Pauly D. at the ocean club tonight….

Fist pumpers invade Marina Bay…

Fist pumpers invade Marina Bay…

You know…I remember going down to Marina Bay when it was a few airplane hangers and a flea market. Apparently it’s become a destination for world renown Dj’s. Where was all this action when I was 21? By all accounts the Ocean Club is off 

More Cowbell!

More Cowbell!

So here’s a vid of a band named Wolfpack playing the Beachcomber in Quincy. Aside from the drunk chick holding the camera sideways and talking sh*t with her friend. I would give this a performance a solid 7 out of 10. It was a bit 

Shots fired on the bridge…

Shots fired on the bridge…

So I’m heading over the Neponset bridge this morning when all hell breaks loose. Apparently someone decided to steal a rental car on the South Shore and drive it back to Dorchester. As most of you know the bridge is a mess these days and the median strip is open to facilitate construction. This is usually watched over by State Troopers on detail. One of those Troopers spotted the stolen car coming over the bridge from Quincy and ordered him to stop. The driver decided to try and run over the Trooper to escape. The suspect crossed the median into oncoming traffic and the Trooper got knocked to the ground. 2 other Troopers manning the intersection took notice and started running to the downed officer. This is when one of them opened fire on the vehicle. From where I was it looked like the car was heading straight at vehicles sitting at the traffic light under the expressway. The car swerved around those vehicles then took a left onto Gallivan Blvd and sped west. The driver was flooring it….you could see blue smoke coming out of the tailpipe. All 3 Troopers appeared ok but looked shocked. 2 guys in pickups pulled over to check on the officers. As traffic loosened up it seemed like there were State Trooper and Boston Police cruisers and bikes coming out of the woodwork….

What a way to start the day! My prayers are with the Trooper…hopefully he’s not injured and they catch this scumbag.

Police are searching an area down by River Street in Dorchester right now….keep your eyes open!

Jump ya losah!!

Jump ya losah!!

Someone reminded me of the Quincy Quarries today and I thought of the fun I used to have up there on hot summer days. Today would have been perfect for a leap off of rooftop (which was the size of a triple decker) But I 

Meatloaf gets the death sentence…

Meatloaf gets the death sentence…

and you thought I was going to break into Paradise by the Dashboard Light. No, the meatloaf I speak of is the one made by the Rock Island Food Company. “But DotRat…what was it’s crime?”  Well, meatloaf with mac & cheese as an accessory to induce 

Barry’s Deli…

Barry’s Deli…

So I paid a visit to an old favorite of mine. Barry’s Deli on Beale Street in Quincy. I’m a huge fan of the deli. I can trace my love of delicatessens back to Meyer’s Deli in Fields Corner. Whenever we had a family birthday or get together there was always a big platter from Meyers.

Barry’s isn’t going to score high for decor, who cares though, I go for the great food. If your looking for a solid lunch that will not break the bank or a nice party platter….it’s a sure bet you will enjoy this place.

Check out this awesome Pastrami Reuben with a side of their homemade macaroni salad. Besides tasting fresh…the best part….all this food cost me….wait for it…..$7.67.

POW!!!  You know that’s a deal
