When you get off the highway and head for my apartment, you pass what must be the sketchiest adult bookstore in the entire Boston area. There is a red and white sign advertising books and movies, and no matter what time it is, someone a little creepy-looking is walking through the door.
I’m grateful that the advent of the internet has made it so the majority of porn connoisseurs can get their fix in the privacy of their own homes, cutting down on the skeevy guy population in my neighborhood. But internet pornography has a dark side. Just ask Michael Fiola.
Laaadiiies and geeentlemen.In this corner, weighing in at 205 pounds, standing at six feet six inches, is the pride of the Philadelphia suburbs, Kobe Bryaaaant!
Aaaand in this corner, weighing in at a doughy 215 pounds, standing at six feet, four inches is the hero of the 2004 ALCS, Red Sox pitcher Cuuuuuurt Schilling!
Who will be crowned the champion of shooting his mouth off? Let’s head into the ring.
If you’re anything like us, you spend most of your afternoon looking for something to wile away the hours before you can head for the sweet sanctuary of your couch or local barstool. Yesterday, we got an email from OkCupid CEO Sam Yagan, telling us about a new staff-generated test that’s spreading around the internet like wildfire.
“We’ve had over 10,000 people take the test in the first 24 hours it’s been up, and it appears that people are forwarding it to their friends with higher propensity than we’ve ever seen,” Yagan writes.
With credentials like that, how could we say no? We loaded up the IQ Adventure Test to learn more about ourselves while taking a break from our busy day.
Early this morning, a Boston Daily tipster informed us that the Globe had poached powerful journoCasey Ross from the Herald. Soon after, the report surfaced on Adam Reilly’s blog. We called Herald editor Kevin Convey to get confirmation and find out who will cover State House politics now that Ross is gone.
“It’s true,” Convey said, sounding remarkably upbeat for a guy who just lost one of his best writers. “He’s going to the Globe. We’ll certainly miss Casey. But we’re happy to say that, effective immediately, we’re promoting Hillary Chabot to State House Bureau Chief.”
Once in a great while, an item of news is so strange that it acts as Kryptonite to our Superman-level power of snark. Making an incisive observation proves impossible, and we’re left to utter things like, “What an idiot!” and “Who does that?!”
Today, the story of Somerville’s Ronnie Craven has left us (almost) snark-less.
I’m no historian, but I’m guessing this is exactly how things unfolded right before the Civil War. One minute, two brothers are laughing and tilling the soil together, the next they start talking about a touchy topic of great importance — namely, Lakers vs. Celtics. Then, boom — suddenly the nation is divided and you can’t get good grits north of Alexandria.
(Check your 8th grade social studies books. It’s all right there.)
In today’s modern-day reenactment, we have legendary Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryanfiring a shot at ESPN scribe (and local product) Bill Simmons. Apparently, Ryan takes umbrage with a piece that Simmons wrote, in which The Sports Guy dared to claim that Boston vs. LA really isn’t a rivalry at all.
A pall has fallen over Boston Daily HQ today, and it’s not entirely due to the crappy weather and our post-Obama clinch hangover. It turns out that Republican senatorial hopeful Jim Ogonowski has fallen 30 signatures short of getting his name on the primary ballot, thus ruining our hopes for an epic John Kerry-Ogonowski matchup.
Late last week, we learned that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler had checked himself into rehab. His reps didn’t confirm or deny the media’s reports/speculation that he’d started abusing drugs again, so we were left to wonder what was going on.
Remember those wonderful days before the Super Bowl, when the Patriots were 18-0? Everybody was talking about jinxes. The Herald accused the Globe of jinxing the team by writing a book about the perfect season, then it accused Mayor Tom Menino of cursing the team to failure because he started planning a victory parade.
Now it’s time for the Celtics to deal with the superstitious fans out there.
