Cool - I know all of those.

The other day I was watching Law and Order and they went to Pitsfield and the people there were talking like they were from Southie - that always cracks me up.

You should put that it's normal to have a boxing ring attached to a courthouse on there and something about Building 19.

[Ymir]

That was great.

Don't forget to sing along to Wa-Wa-Wa-chusett

I spent my first 37 years in Mass. Been gone for 14. Really miss the occasional Papa Platter at Papa Ginos, the great Chinese food (from the immigrants that moved out to the burbs from Chinatown, (and scorpion bowls), the North Shore, and being able to hop in the car and drive up the Maine coast for some fresh catch lobster. If you've never eaten a fresh caught Maine lobster, then you've never really eaten lobster IMO.

[Amp360]

LOL!

I was actually going to go to Durgin park this week too - if you go during the week before the summer it's cheap and it's pretty good.

Do you guys remember Chow Daddy?

I used to do this whole dance when I was like 5. My brother would make me do it.

Also that stupid kid "I can walk like a penguin" from the old NE Aquarium ads?

I agree.

I will not be a Pats fan until Brady is traded.

I won about $4000 the year before last when Ray Lewis took Brady to school.

That's the town I lived in! Chris' Famous Pizza on Lowell St. Bob Loos (RIP) up on rte. 28 in Salem. Bea's Sandwich Shop down by the river (also RIP), and Lawton's Franks (soon to be RIP).

And whenever we'd head into Boston we'd be sure to grab dinner here. Best steak tips in New England!

Let's not detour this thread and make it about Brady. It's all about Massachusetts baby!
