The Christ-I'm-sick-of-the-City-of-Boston edtion...
- Enough, Boston. We get it - your sports teams (for now) are good. Okay, Cheers was pretty funny. So here's a list of shitty things you've given us:
- Dane Cook
- Jack Nicholson's "accent" in The Departed
- Bad regional accents in general
- Race riots
- Puritans
- Noam Chomsky
- Danny Ainge
- Half of Bill Simmons' published work
- Dane Cook
- Johnny Damon, the celebrity (as opposed to Johnny Damon, the average center fielder)
- Overrated beer
- Red Sox Nation, which we can blame for the rampant rise of "[insert stupid thing] Nation"
- the "Curse of the Bambino"
- Dane Cook
- I can't stand Tony Romo - I don't like people who actively court celebrity - but I have to say: well done, sir, well done.
- Yes, Andy, my No. 1 gal is now on Heroes. No, I will not be watching. Unless her superpower is humping librarians, I don't care.
- I've been using Firefox Portable at work and it's changed my life.
- I saw The Darjeeling Limited in Dallas. I loved it of course (I need to see it again to form a proper opinion). We saw it at the Angelika, an arthouse theater at Mockingbird Station in Dallas, a high-end open-air mall. Man, the douche factor was off the charts. Every time I'm down there, I start thinking it would be cool to live there, then the assholes just come out of the woodwork.
