13. real beer?!?!
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 05:44 PM by Blue-Jay
Most of us are Guinness fans. That ain't "real"?

Plus, we ALL know what kind of food Boston is famous for.

"_____town" (the blank cannot be filled in with "barbecue")



punctuation edit.

26. matcom, matcom, matcom,
You can't make me jealous if you've got nothing I WANT. Look, Boston's neat and all, I have no quarrel with the place, but I love, love, LOVE Chicago. If I'm going to visit a historic city to the east, frankly, I much prefer Philadelphia.

37. No Wisconsinite would ever visit Shytown
In fact, it is traditionally the other way around as we were over-run with FIB's. When I went to NY, I drove an extra 150 miles just to avoid Shytown. But we can never have too many Jesse Jacksons.

I'm coming to Boston on biz. That's the only thing that would get me there. (Just kidding, but i had to say that too.)

60. Boston gangs are a bunch of amateur punks
The mob, on the other hand, has class, style, and fingers in the union, city hall, and the casinos. When they make you disappear, you're gone, no body, no evidence, and no one cares.

Whitey is a second-rate street thug who just likes hurting people. Boring.
