The dog days of summer are officially upon us.
This is what I learned this weekend:
1.Never fuck with cole slaw in a baggie.
2. Big Bang Baby is not for me. Maybe it is because I know maybe 6 STP songs but just kind of blah.
3. I am officially retired from darts. After 13/14 years (I can not remember if I started playing before I was legal to drink) I have hung em up. I will still visit during the season though.
4. Supah P is one hard working mother fucker. Dude is always on the go.
5. I can not believe it is $35.00 to park in Boston in a garage at night. I mean really?
6. How did I score a pair of Pavillion Box seats to the Sox for only $100?
7. A friend of mine may be on Say Yes to the Dress. No matter what his fiance is 100% on it.
8. Rio finally made it down to the Cape.
9. It shouldnt be that difficult to get 10 guys together for a fantasy draft.
10. Hey so what if you flash someone by accident. Maybe you should of opted for the belt.
11. Its always good to see Mac and Meg out on the town boozing.
12. Is anyone interested in a Bruins trip to Chicago, February 17th, 2013?
13. CVG gets after it with Bacardi and Cokes.
14. The DMV is a scam. Lines to get a ticket, to wait in line to get service but the line doesn't go in order. Bullshit!
15. I had no idea that the Salvation Army will not take furniture if there are any blemishes on it.
16. Has anyone heard from my Uncle Willie? That dude takes off more time that anyone I have ever met. I ain't mad atcha just kind of jealous.
I totally forgot to update this yesterday.
I hope The Cheifdude has a nice vacation at Water Wiz!

No laughing matter
ABC - A pack of hyenas killed two children and injured six other members of a family when the beasts attacked in the middle of the night.
The Kenya Wildlife Service is airlifting one of the survivors, a 10-year-old boy who was mauled in the attack last week, to a hospital in the capital city of Nairobi to get better medical care.
"The boy's condition has since deteriorated," said the KWS which is assisting the family and paying for their medical care.
The family was attacked July 10 near Dilmanyale village while sleeping inside their traditional family compound, called a manyatta. The KWS said it took immediate action to prevent further attacks by the aggressive animals.
"Rangers pursued and eliminated the hyenas," the KWS said in a statement.
Hyenas are most commonly known as scavengers that eat the remains of dead animals left by other predators, but as this incident demonstrates, they can also be bold and powerful hunters. According to the African Wildlife Foundation hyenas can weigh up to 190 pounds, and despite their reputation as "laughing" cowards that usually go after the easiest prey, they can be quite dangerous.
The nocturnal hunters are coming into conflict with humans more frequently as the human population increases in Africa. In some places, especially where they have attacked livestock, hyenas are heavily hunted as pests. The KWS said its rangers are working in the community near the recent attack to educate people about ways to prevent conflict with hyenas and other wild animals.
------------------------------------------------------------
See them fucking hyenas in the Lion King would of fucked up Simba!! Not the one who sounded like Whoopie Goldberg though. I mean she wasn't scary at all.
In all honesty, you can not be surprised by anyone getting mauled by any wild animals. You shouldn't be fucking around in their enviroment - camping, swimming, sight seeing, poking them when they are in a cage at the zoo. Let this be a lesson to anyone camping in the wild.

7. Everything in Provincetown has a double entandre.
8. Never play drunk war with a guy who holds all the Aces. Just ask Chrissy.
9. Nickerson State park is huge and pretty damn nice.
10. I don't know if it is all the tourists but everyone down the Cape is very laid back and chill.

14. Portuguese sweet rolls are highly under rated.
15. Jeffrey and Sarah don't have an anniversary date they have a 3 day bender.
16. It is amazing to see 2 year olds and how one develops motor skills over speaking skills and vice versa.
17. Fucking Verizon making me pay full price for a phone so I could keep my unlimited plan or else my bill goes up $41.06 a month? Thats fucking $985.44 over 2 years for less service!!
18. Posting shit on craigslist is a pain in the ball sack.
19. I had Tuna Shashimi and I am in LOVE. I don;t care who knows it.

22. Mario has the worst luck with phones.
23. Rob and Jeffrey had a deck building party that was supposed to be Saturday and Sunday but they moved it up to Friday and Saturday. From what I hear its a thing of beauty.
24. I do not see the big deal with Yuengling. I don't care if they sell it in Mass or not. It kinda sucks.
25. Jeffrey is accepting names for his new boat. Best name gets a free summer of fishing trips.
26. Speaking of fishing trips, would anyone be interested in chartering a boat and fishing for the day?
27. Mungo broke his tooth on a piece of bacon...yeah a broken tooth on bacon!
28. I am trying to get into the Game of Thrones books and it is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
29. According to Jeffrey, Banana peppers are the key to a good pasta salad.

There are so many things that I had in/on my old phone that I lost when the screen got sun spots and stopped charging.
As Always, I will try to do better.

July is upon us
SO I tried posting last week and everytime I posted a picture on this it kicked me out and wouldnt save. So this week I am going to try things I learned the past 2 weekends without any pictures. Some of this shit could be old so suck it.
This is what I learned this week:
1. Tea will absorb odors around it. Pour some tea over your hands and it will remove all odors and leave them smelling great.
2. I know there are belated birthday cards but how come no early birthday cards? I mean Im going on vacation and I give you a card a week early? This is an uptapped market.
3. Back Seat Lover is playing July 28 at the Hard Rock Cafe in Fanuel hall. I hope you guys can make it.
4. Whats better than a $.01(why isn't there any cent signs on this keyboard) ice cream cake? How bout 1 with the name spelled wrong?
5. The Chipman family pig roast was a huge success. It was way more than cookout of the year. It is a must attend event each and every year.
6. LED is the way to go for a television. They weigh practically nothing.
7. There is a beer bandit loose in my neighborhood. My neighbor, Tom, had 7 of his 8 buds stolen from his garage fridge.
8. Nothing is more glutonous as blasting the AC but having the top open in Mike's Jeep Liberty.
9. According to Chrissy it is the Summer of Mikes Harder Lemonades. Either you are on it or you are a terrorist.
10. Speaking of Chrissy, It is never good to get an APB text from his wife after he has been working 22 out of 24 hours and he has been drinking with his parents all day. Lets just say I said a prayer that he wasn't dead in a ditch.
11. According to some elders of mine, I am on the wrong side of 30 and need to take Centrum or a multi vitamin every day.
12. I can not for the life of me seem to sleep past 8:00 on any day.
13. I plan on having a cookout on Wednesday the 4th. Stop on by if you are feeling up for it.
14. It is against the law to fish with canned corn in Oregon. Uhm, guess ill have to shuck it and peel it off the cob myself.
15. Justin Beiber is claustrophobic...I know that Jeffrey is Beliber.
16. I don't get the appeal of the tall ships.
17. I saw some mother fuckers devouring lobster macaroni salad. I mean tearing through it!
18. Jeep guys are adamant about what Jeep is best. I saw 2 grown men argue the finer points of a CJ 5 vs the CJ 7. Almost came to blows.
19. Choppah shot a 61 in a round of golf. A SIXTY FUCKING ONE!
20. When it gets to be above 90 everything just shuts down.
21. Willie went out and bought his sweetie a beach cruiser for the summer. I don't know if he is sending her a message or just be a dear.
22. The Oreo donut from Dunks is no joke. I am not talking the crumble bullshit, talking the creme filled.
23. Don;t judge me because I am rocking a tank top tan.
24. Beer Die is back and Mike Foley is a sore loser.
25. Since Shaun larry got engaged has anyone seen or heard from him? I am kind of scared.
26. The Chiefdude finally got the dog of his dreams - a Doberman named Rommel.
27. Rio wants to go catch a Bruins game in Chicago, January 12th. Anyone down?
28. CVG took Italy's loss to Spain rough. Has anyone heard from him?
29. My plants are not liking this hot weather.
30. The new BK menu is too fucking much. It is like 3 pages of lunch/dinner items and it is so overwhelming.
31. No one wants to post hole dig but to do so on a 95 degree day is insanity.
32. I thought they were serving chicharones at the pigroast; I could not of been more excited. I was a little dismayed when it was home made french fries but it was not a bad alternative.
If anyone wants to come by Tuesday night for the Bon fires and fire works on the beach let me know. If not there is always the cookout Wednesday.

Im on Vacation
I know I am a few days late on posting this. Chrissy has been all over me. Well it's better late than never at all, right?
This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Back Seat Lover is an awesome cover band. Especially for $7.00 (they didn't play this when we saw them but I figured I would post it):
http://youtu.be/lNxVpzFeB9E
They play again at the Hardrock Cafe in Boston on July 28th with a STP cover band. Hope you guys can make it. Chrissys buying tickets as we speak.
2. When getting furniture it is great to measure where it will go, to make sure it fits, but if you can't get it up the stairs...you are an asshole (or in this case I am THE Asshole).
3. A hippo can open it's mouth wide enough to fit a 4 foot tall child inside.
4. National grid is not very customer service friendly.
5. "Billie Jean" was the 1st video to air on MTV by a black artist. Fucking Michael Jackson always on top of shit.
6. Thomas Edison, light bulb inventor, was afraid of the dark.
7. The 2nd Sherlock Holmes movie sucked badly.
8. How did I get a cold while on vacation? God is cruel.
9. Mario moonlights as the CEO of The Ding and Dents moving company.
10. Making a patio level and flawless is a whole hell of a lot harder than I thought.
11. Smiddy is thinking about making the move back to BMC.
12. My dog is not liking this weather at all.
13. I guess most of my family doesn't like red meat. Prime rib was not the thing to serve on fathers day then.
14. Cambridge is looking to follow NYC and ban soda.
15. No one should ever wear yellow shorts. I mean no one and never.
16. Grillo was wearing a leather jacket in the bar on Saturday night. I was hot just looking at him.
I have some errands to run so I am keeping it brief.
See you all next week.

Bacon Sundae
So, yesterday burger king came out with their bacon sundae.
I love ice cream and I love bacon so I was instantly intrigued. So I ordered one and the girl was all excited to make the first one of the day even tho she said I don't know who would eat this, it looks disgusting. It definately looked strange. But it was SOOOOO good. One of those odd combinations that just seem to work.
Like Mr booze always says, you really can add bacon to anything and it makes it better! The only complaint I have is the fact its made with vanilla, I hate vanilla. But the fudge and caramel on the bottom and top of the sundae was key. It was decent size and only $2.65. I highly recommend you try one.

Sorry
Well last week was a total and utter cluster fuck with things I learned. We recently upgraded some of the computers at work and all this damn blogger wants to do is try and get you to use Goggle Chrome. WHO THE FUCK USES GOOGLE CHROME? Anyway, I had listed 27 things I learned with pictures and videos from Dot day but because of the whole google fuck up only 7 posted. I was too frustrated to go back in and update it so you got a half assed effort. Get over it.
This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Ferrets can suffer from depression.(they also smell like piss ALL THE TIME)
2. The modern day tampon was invented in 1933, by a man. He probably got sick of seeing blood on his mattress.
3. For the past month, I can not sleep on the days that I could sleep late and I cant wake up when I need to be up for work. Its quite the conundrum.
4. Grilled sweet potatoes are not bad.
5. There is nothing worse than broken pixels on your phone screen.
6. I downloaded PAC-CHOMP onto my phone. Its a puzzle game with Pac man pieces. Pretty good.
7. Jeffrey is in love with Sam Summers.
8. The Celtics should be embarrassed by that Game 7 4th quarter.
9. I'm still pissed that I couldn't GIVE away Red Sox tickets to a Friday night game.
10. Shaun Larry has a venue picked out for the wedding of the year, The Marriot in Quincy. Don't hold your breath for an invite, there isn't many available tickets for this GALA!
11. Rio is hot into buying a house in Revere. His house warming party is gonna be a huge raging kegger with strippers and a bouncy house for the kids.
12. I had never been to a live auction fund raiser before. Needless to say, I need more of these in my life. I hope the lady who won dinner with Mrs. Wahlberg and 3 guests at Alma Nove brings me.
13. If I am going to convert to gas, should I buy a great stove now or a cheapie and then a great stove if/when I renovate my kitchen?
14. Who doesn't deliver on the weekend? I mean if you are open on the weekends then that's when you should be delivering.
15. I tried the chili cheese fries from Wendy's. They are damn good just not a ton of them.
16. Chrissy became the 13th member of the 40 - 40 club. 40 hours of regular time and 40 overs of overtime in the same week.
17. Katie does not seem to like the bruschetta Boca burgers. I don't blame her who wants to eat that garbage anyways?
18. Sunday was the 1st day that Ronin did not get a walk since we got him(day care days not withstanding).
19. I used to think that no one loved a bargain more than Chrissy but I was wrong. No one loves a bargain more than Nora Mitchell.

22. Your ear lobes line up with your nipples.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Ferrets can suffer from depression.(they also smell like piss ALL THE TIME)
2. The modern day tampon was invented in 1933, by a man. He probably got sick of seeing blood on his mattress.

Darts update PLAYOFF LOSS!
We traveled to Abington to begin round 3 in the dart playoffs and the first night did not go well. We dug ourselves a hole but we did not play ourselves out of the match.
501's Lost 2 & Won 1:
SL and I started the night off the wrong way. We played well but the other team hit too many triple 20's and we lost.
TB & Jared played a great game. It was close the entire way and both teams had their chances to end it and Jared took it down with a double 14 to tie the match.
Jeb & DW spotted a 275 point lead and mounted a great comeback. Both teams had out chances and the other team hit it first.
Cricket Lost 2 & Won 1:
Supa P & I fell way behind early. Supa did what he could to get us back in it but I sucked and we lost.
SL & TB played a great game. They got the lead early and kept it. They also wasted no time in winning the game.
Jeb & Jared were up early and even in the middle of the game. The other team went on a run to take the lead and eventually the game.
After 6 we were down 4 to 2
301's 5 & Won 1:
SL lost game 1 in a close one. In game 2 he had a 200 point lead but got stuck on a tough out. The other guy hit huge darts to take it down.
TB got right on and so did the other guy. It was about even at the 100 point mark and TB hit a great shot to get to the out first but the other guy stole it. In game 2 it was neck and neck but another loss.
I played a 3 game set. I lost game 1 and came back and won games 2&3.
DW got shut out in game 1 and lost fast in game 2.
Jeb lost game 1 in a close one. In game 2 Jeb was down big but made a nice comeback. It came down to an out and Jeb took it. In game 3 they both got it down fast and the other fool hit it.
P lost 2 fast games to end the night.
We certainly did not position ourselves to advance to the next round by losing 9 out of 12 games but it was back to Quincy on Thursday to see if we could make a charge.
Thursday nights results:
501 Won 2 lost 1:
Me & Dillion got right on and hammered it down. The other team made a charge and SL hit the winner.
Jared & TB were slow to get in and it cost them. They made a comeback but it was too late.
Mark & P got on early and built a small lead and the other guys kept it close. It was anyone's game in the end and Mark hit good set up darts and P hit the out.
Cricket Won 3 Lost NONE:
TB & SL came to play! The both got hot early and often. The other team made a good run in the middle but it was over when SL hit the final cork
Jeb & Me played from behind the whole game but did not quit. Jeb got hot on the 15's and corks and after my double cork Jeb hit the final for the win.
P & Jared jumped out to an early lead with some solid darts and key triples. They slowed down a bit but wasted no time taking the win.
At this point we did a great job in closing the gap to make the match 10 to 8. We were really confident we could at least win 4 of 6 and force extra games but it was not meant to be.
301 Won 1 & Lost 3 and the last 2 games did not matter:
SL played well but lost in 2 games.
TB won the first and took a lead in game 2. He was able to take it down and got right on in game 3 which he also won.
I won the 1st and had a good lead in the 2nd but could not hit the out and lost. The 3rd was even from start to finish and the other guy hit a 20, triple 20, double 20 for the win. F'n repulsive way to lose a game!
MW played great in game 1 for the win. In Game 2 mark got on with a 120 and did not let up even though the other guy hit great darts. In the end it was another bull shit throw by them to take it. In game 3 mark spotted a 179 point lead and made a charge. Unfortunately the other guy hit the out on the first dart for the win
Match over 13 to 9
Jeb & P were scheduled to play next but it was over.
We had a great run and a ton of fun all season but it really sucks to lose. They were a good team but they were certainly beatable. We were a few wins away from playing for the title and there is no doubt we would have taken it down. Sometime soon I will post a recap of the season but I am not in the right frame of mind to do it today.
Have a great time at Dot Day and let's hope the C's and the Sox can win it all!

Dot Day is Sunday
The annual Dot Day Bowl off is this Sunday at 9:30 am. I hope that everyone can make it. You are not going to believe this but I forgot to make a shirt for this years winner.
This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Apparently, Smiddy needs rotator cuff surgery.
2. Coconuts kill about 150 people each year. Thats more than sharks.
3. The Black Panthers were started by an Asian guy. Fucking sneaky Asians.
4. Im pretty sure if you show up to a cookout you have to bring either food or beers or at least ice.
5. Grillo can pretty much get you into any club, in any state to see any DJ. Skrillex!!!
6. As of last Saturday dudes wearing tank tops is all the rage and so IN for 2012.
7. Nothing worse than your TV or cable being on the fritz.
8. Its funny to me when people are deathly afraid of dogs.
9. Nothing worse than running out of gas when your cutting your grass.
10. Mikey Laydens son, Rickey, has taken up lacross and from what I hear is tearing it up.
11. Rio sat on the roof for the 1st time at Fenway and he was instantly in love.
12. Chrissy has been killing the Mikes Hard Lemonades.
13. Pizza with chili on it, though strange in nature, is pretty legit.
14. Some times you miss a spot when cutting the lawn. We have all gotten bad hair cuts!
15. What won't Taco Bell try? Mountain Dew A.M.(A mix of OJ and Mountain Dew?)

16. Lots of bars are moving away from Red Bull and towards Monster Energy drink.
17. I guess not everyone has a song that they would walk out to at a sporting event. And I am the weirdo?
Darts tonight in Abington at the VFW. I hope that if you can't make it today, you can stop by the South Side tavern on Thursday night.

Darts Update Playoffs
The second night of round 2 of the playoffs brought us to Brockton, the City of Champions. I guess if you want to be the champion you have to beat the champion. We stated the night with a 9-3 lead and needed just 4 points to move on to round 3. We figured we would waltz right in there an win a quick 4 games and get out but things did not exactly go as planned. Despite playing very well, we lost the first 4 games. It was looking like panic time until Brighto & Shawn Larry got us on the board with a win in cricket. Mark & Jeb followed that up with another cricket win and it was on to singles. At this point we were up 11-7 with 6 games to go. Tim Bright won his match and Shawn Dillion continuing his run at the MVP won the next match to close it out.
After the game a few of us headed to The Cape Cod Cafe for a celebratory meal. If you find yourself in that neck of the woods, try the Chili Pizza, you will not be disappointed. Word of advice, don't ask the bartender where he is from unless you want to hear a string of bad jokes. Next week we will either be playing a team from Weymouth or a team from Abington and I'm sure Derek will keep you posted. I know I say it each post, but if you have the time, stop by for a few beers, a lot of laughs and support the team.

Dart Playoffs Round 2
Tuesday we began Round 2 of the playoffs. We played at home and after a few cocktails, A huge announcement from Shawn Dillion and some lighting and electrical work, we were ready to go. It was nice to see Jeff there to bring some humor and support the squad. I had a commitment earlier in the night so I was not able to pregame with the guys and I am sure I missed some funny stories about the Mustache Pub Crawl, but there is more on that later in the post. Anyway let me get right into the match reviews:
501: Won 2 & Lost 1
Bright & Shawn Larry started out hot and it was a close game at the mid point. They built up a 100 point lead and SL Busted on a 93 out. The other team quickly tied it up and had a shot at the out. Brighto hit a huge 53 to knock it down to a 1 dart out, and they ended it just in time.
Welch & Whitley got on first and it was a close game most of the way. DW hit 3 single bulls (I guess just to show everyone he can) and it was even at the 100 point mark. The other team got to the out first, and Mark threw a great toss to get there as well. Both teams had their chances and they each ended up on Double 1. After a bunch of tries at it the other team finally hit it.
Jared & I got right on and ran it down, and the other team did the same. In the end Jared threw a great triple 17, double 6 for the win.
Cricket: Won 1 - Lost 2
Mark & Jeb ran into a tough team. They played from behind early and made a good charge but the other team kept slamming points. It was too much to overcome and the overall match was evened up at 2-2.
SL & I got up early in the match but faded in the middle. We made a charge by hitting 4 corks in 1 turn but it was not enough.
TB & Jared built a good lead early and the other team tried to make a comeback. They kept the pressure on and when it came down to the corks and T&J closed it out fast.
After 6 games it was 3-3
301 Won 6 & Lost ZERO
SL got on right away in game 1 and it was close the whole way. It came down to the first to hit the double and SL took it down. In game 2 it was another game that was close from start to finish. SL again wasted no time in taking it down. Solid win to take back the match lead at 4-3.
TB was on a mission in game 1 he built up a 200+ point lead and took it out on his first try. In game 2 they both got on early and it was close to the end. TB got himself down to a tough odd number out but fixed it and hit the double right away.
DW spotted a 260 point lead in game 1. He threw a bunch of 50+ throws to get back into it. It came down to 1 dart for the win and they both had their chances and DW willed it in first. In game 2, I was too busy listening to pub crawl stories (see below) to keep notes but I did see DW take it down for a great win.
During the game it seemed that every time Derek started to talk about something other than darts he shot well. I figured I’d keep distracting him until it stopped working. Oddly enough it kept working and he won the game. With our combined levels of ADD, I really don’t remember much about the conversation but my notes tell me it had something to do with the pub crawl, lawyers taking meds that don't make a vagina lonely, back alley BJ's, people skipping out on tabs and getting caught and drunken messes. DW you have my permission to edit this post and fill in the details as I am sure it is funny stuff!
Jeb made a great comeback in game 1 for the win. In game 2 he was down early again and was faced with a 125 point deficit. At one time in the game he was down 250. He came alive late but the opponent hit the out just before he had a shot at it. In game 3 he struggled again to get in but tied the score at 187. They both had shots to win it and Jeb grabbed it first.
I played well and took 2 straight games for the win.
Supa P got on first and it was close the entire way. They both got stuck on a tough number and hit good darts to get to the out. It all came down to the Double 1 and who wanted it more. Of course P hit it! In game 2 they both got on in the first throw. P fell behind a bit in the middle and hit a trip 20 to take the lead and followed it with another 60. They both had a few throws to close it out and P got caught on another odd out. He fixed it but it was too late. In the rubber match the other guy got on first and P answered. The other guy hit great darts to get down to the out first and P hit great darts to take it away!
I know I do not add many details (other than the match recaps) and there are a few reasons for that. First, I often score the games so I can’t hear a lot of the BS that gets tossed around. Secondly, I would much prefer to enjoy the night than worry about trying to remember details. And third, if you really want to know what happens at darts, show up! With that said I do remember a funny conversation with Jeb and Derek. While Jeb was cheering me on in the singles match he kept calling me “Foles”. Derek was cracking up thinking he was calling me “balls”. Over the years, I think every member of the team (and there has easily been more than 20 people on and off our roster over the years) has had a few nicknames. While “Balls” certainly has a ring to it, I think I prefer Godell.
We ended the night in great shape to move on to the next round. The Final score was 9 Wins & 3 losses so we head to Brockton on Thursday needing just 4 wins out of 12 games to move on. The player of the night could have gone to Supa P (1-0) or Jared (2-0) because they were both undefeated, but I am giving the nod to Tim Bright (3-0). He hit the winning darts in 501 and Cricket and he was lights out in the singles match.
If you are planning on making it on Thursday night we are playing at the Protectors Club in Brockton. The address is 50 Herrod Ave and I suggest that you get there early as it might be over fast.

The player of the night could have gone to Supa P (1-0) or Jared (2-0) because they were both undefeated, but I am giving the nod to Tim Bright (3-0). He hit the winning darts in 501 and Cricket and he was lights out in the singles match.
If you are planning on making it on Thursday night we are playing at the Protectors Club in Brockton. The address is 50 Herrod Ave and I suggest that you get there early as it might be over fast.

Slacking
Sorry that I didn't post yesterday. I was severely slacking. It also helps that Chrissy is on vacation, so he wasn't bitching at me to post. He must be preoccupied with house work, building a sex room and trying to make baby #2.
This is what I learned this weekend:
1. We raised $1666 for Dana Farber through T shirt sales and donations. If Chrissy collects the rest of his money from the bet it should be another $250 bucks that I could send in this year or just wait till next years and add it to the total. The 6th Annual Mustache Pub Crawl is Saturday, May 18th, 2013.
2. Rounds of shots should never approach $60 unless you are getting at least 10 of them!
3. Apple is the worlds most valuable brand followed by IBM, Google, Mcdonalds and then Microsoft.
4. Stingers are not friends with Chris Ford:
As always I am sure there are tons of things that I forgot.

5. How fast can the Celtics put Brandon Bass' #30 jersey up for sale on their website?
6. You can stop mosquito bites from itching by running them under hot water.
7. There are 300 registered Superheroes living in the United States. Where the fuck and who the fuck are they?
8. Look who got engaged, Shaun Larry and his Lady Rachel. The Mustache Pub crawl bringing loved ones together since 2008:
9. Pretty sure there isn't much that this guy wouldn't do for money:
10. The dot on an I is called a a tittle.
11. Julie Nickerson wants to try and change the MPC to August, rather than just come home in May(for the past 5 years).
12. People found out how fun Grillo can be when hes hanging out.
13. My buddy Brendan now works at Mcfaddens.
14. Here are some pics from the crawl:
15. Jeffrey's Memorial day party is this Sunday starting at 1:30.
16. Redvines makes Grapevines and let me tell you, shit is dope!
17. Its very hard to get mustard out of a terrycloth shirt.
18. Anyone interested in 4 tickets to next Thursdays - Sox vs Tigers game in the bleachers? $112.
19. MikeyT has upgraded from an original classic ipod shuffle to a new ipod Nano. The kid is so tech savvy its ridiculous.
20. If you are going to skip out on a tab, you probably shouldn't be wearing a pub crawl shirt with your next stop on it. Just saying Wallace!
21. No matter how old you are people still cock block ya.
22. I erased all my text messages for the 1st time since the 1st of the year. It took over 2 hours.
23. Congrats to Mike "Prez" Foley on winning 1st place in his division in the Norfolk County Classic. Fucking shit up at darts on Tuesdays and Thursdays then killing it up at Presidents Golf course. What a week for the guy who looks like Roger Goodell. SPEECH!!
24. Jeffrey has a man crush on Jeb's brothers Wendell and Zach.
Don't forget darts tonight at the Southside Tavern. Look forward to some of you guys coming out for drinks and shots.
As always I am sure there are tons of things that I forgot.

Darts Update Round 1 part 2
In the second day of the round 1 playoffs we had our backs against the wall. We started the evening in a 6-6 tie in this race to 13 wins. We have sucked all year in 501 so it was going to be an uphill battle in the crickets and the early singles. We were also missing Mark and Jeff but the games must go on.
501: Won 1 & Lost 2
Shawn & I jumped on early and built a good lead. We were fading in the end but hit the winning dart first to set the tone for the night. Match score 7-6
Brighto & Jared played well and it was close all game. Both teams got stuck on a tough out and the other team hit it first. 7-7
Jeb & Derek took too long to get in and could not mount a comeback and we fell to 7- 8 in the overall. 7-8
Cricket: Won 2 - Lost 1
Supa & Jared got off to a fast start and let them back into the game late. S&J really turned it up late in the game to take it down and tie it up at 8-8.
Tim & SL got out to a commanding lead early. The other team hit some screwy darts to make it a game but TB hit a double cork to stop the momentum and followed it up with the 3rd cork on the next throw to end it. 9-8
Me & Jeb played good for 3/4 of the match. We were right in it until the opponent hit 2 triples to take a lead. It proved to be too much to overcome. 9-9
301: Won 4 & Lost 2
TB took a lead in game 1 but let it get close. His opponent had a chance to steal it but Brighto took it out. In game 2 he jumped right on built a 180 point lead but struggled on the out. They both had shots to win and TB wanted it more. 10-9
Jeb spotted a 275 point lead and when he finally got in he really pounded it down. He made possibly the biggest comeback ever and he hit the out on his first throw to take it away. In game 2 he got on first and got out to a 50 point lead. He ran it down fast and wasted no time in hitting the winning dart for a huge win. 11-9
SL- I scored so I was unable to take notes but SL continued his run at the MVP and won it in 2 games. 12-9
Jared played a man on a mission who did not miss one dart. Jared had no chance in this one and took a tough loss but we were still in the match. 12-10
Supa Won the first, lost the second and lost the 3rd to make it 12-11.
I played the final match and it was Win and move on or lose and go into a 3 game extra playoff. I played the same guy on Tuesday and it was a great match. All three games were close and we both played well. End result was a Win, a Loss and a Win to seal the deal. 13-11
Final score 7 Wins & 5 losses which gave us a 13 to 11 victory in the match. If it came down to the tiebreaker we would have dominated.

Next week it looks like we will be playing at the Southside Tavern in Quincy on Tuesday and in Brockton on Thursday. Please find some time to stop by as we could use the support! I know many of you will be trying to recover from the Mustache Pub Crawl and what better way to do it but by having a few midweek beers.

Fucking Bono
Bono must "like" this. The U2 frontman became the richest rock star in the world on Friday, the same day Facebook went public — all because he has a 2.3% stake in the social network. Back in 2009, Bono's company, Elevation Partners, invested $90 million into the site, and now three years later, he has made more than 16 times that amount for an astounding $1.5 billion. Not bad, right?
That $1.41-billion profit makes Bono, 52, a good $500 million richer than Sir Paul McCartney, who has made his pockets fat to the tune of $1.05 billion as one of the Beatles, the best-selling band of all time with more than 177 million units moved. McCartney would probably be a lot richer, though, if it weren't for the fact that Michael Jackson bought the rights to half of the Fab Four's catalog in 1984. By comparison, fellow music titans Bruce Springsteen and Madonna combined are only worth $800 million.
This shit is just plain Cray right.............

Darts playoff update
Playoffs started on Tuesday and we are playing a home & home series against a team from Coops. Each match has 12 different games and the first to win 13 moves on. Jeff was battling an eye issue so he did not show but everyone else was there and ready to play. The team from Coops won 10 more points than we did in the regular season but going into this match we are tied 0-0.
501: Won 1 & Lost 2:
Shawn Larry and I started the night the right way. We faced a decent team and we both played good enough to take the win.
Mark & Derek ran into a very strong team that never let up. They hung in there but lost.
Brighto & Jeb played a great match. It was neck and neck from the start right to the 100 point mark. It became a race for the out and unfortunately the other team got there first.
Cricket: Won 3 - Lost ZERO:
Supa P and I jumped out to an early lead and maintained it past the mid point. We were fading late but we hit the darts that we needed to grab the win.
Tim & SL played an awesome game. Both teams ran it down and grabbed points on the way. In the end Brighto hit 2 corks and SL hit the 3rd for the win.
Mark & Jeb played against the toughest team and it was a great game...for us. They were close in the first 1/3 of the game and then Mark & Jeb turned it on. Many points were scored but it did not matter and M&J won.
301 Won 2 & Lost 4:
SL lost game 1 in a close one. He got stuck on a bad out number and kept busting. In game 2, he got on first and built a small lead. At the 100 point mark it was just about tied. They both got it to the out and SL took it down. In game 3, Shawn got on in the first throw and hit a 120 on the second toss. His opponent made a charge and it came down to doubles again. After a bunch of tries SL got it done.
Jared and his opponent got right on and the other guy got hot and took a lead in game 1. Jared got right back into it at the 100 point mark but the other guy hit a quick out. In game 2 Jared got on first and built a solid lead. A scoring error by their scorer delayed the game and it seemed to hurt Jared’s momentum. It got real close but Jared hit the out. In game 3, Jared hit the on with the first dart and so did his opponent. It was a close game all the way down but the other guy wasted no time on the out.
Derek had a tough start but a nice come back in game 1. It proved too little too late and he lost. Game 2 it was a battle. They both worked their way down to the double 1 out and the other guy hit it.
Jeb played great in game 1 and built up a 100+ lead. He got stuck on a tough out but fixed it after a few throws. It came down to the first to hit the double 1 and after a hundred or so throws the other guy hit it. In game 2 Jeb got on first and hit a 100 on throw 2. The other guy hung around and hit a few darts to take it away.
I played a crazy 3 game set. Lost the first game and then took the next 2 for the win.
Supa played great in game 1 and had a shot at the out but lost. In game 2 he fell behind early and caught up fast. The other guy wasted no time hitting the out.
Final score 6 Wins & 6 losses which is a bit disappointing considering we were ahead most of the match. Again this is a race to 13 so we really need to take care of business in the 501’s and cricket games.
Player of the night is a split between Shawn and me because we both went 3-0. Other guys played better it comes down to W’s.
Tonight we will try to grind out 7 quick wins to advance. If you are out and about in the Q, stop by to support the team.

Mustache day is coming
This week is shaping up Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday then Mustache Day! As David Spellman likes to call the Mustache Pubcrawl - Drunk Christmas! So Drunk Christmas is upon us.
This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Mario has a back up barber. Don't know many people who can say that.
2. Its illegal in Fort Lee, NJ to text and walk at the same time. You get an $85 fine. BULLSHIT!
3. Although women attempt suicide about three times more often than men, men complete suicide about three times more often than women.
4. I thought everyone knew that you bring a koozie on a booze cruise. I have never been on a cruise that the beers were cold.
5. Apparently, Katie thinks you can just stroll into Plymouth on a Saturday night and get seated right away at any restaurant on the harbor. Unless you want to go to Als.
6. When glass breaks, the cracks move at speeds of up to 3,000 miles per hour. And I thought some of my ex-ladies were fast.
7. Mosquitoes are more attracted to people who have recently drank beer. This explains so much about camping trips.
8. The male porcupine urinates on the female porcupine before mating. If she's not turned-on by this, she shakes it off and finds another male. Typical broads!
9. I guess 1 day off in 19 days makes me cranky.
10. My prayers go out to Chrissy and his family. He lost his 96 year old grandmother recently.
11. I guess in New Zealand you can make a career out of being a hunter and it pays $60,000 Euros a year.
12. Jeffrey may be throwing together a Memorial day cookout. Is Saturday or Sunday better for everyone?
13. CVG started his stache late but he has one coming in!
14. Who buys their wife a kayak for Mothers Day? Oh yeah Jeffrey does for $150:
15. Rob and Jeffrey, with their wives, are going to Barefoot Bobs tonight for the Kitchen Nightmares taping. Jeffrey just wants to be on TV.
16. Why does mulch come in like 10 different colors?
17. Be careful if you ever fall asleep while chatting with someone. In this day and age they can record that shit and play it back for you.
18. Remicks in Quincy has a new and improved menu. I have never had a bad meal there.
Playoff darts Tuesday at home and away Thursday at Coops. For you ballers on a budget Coops has pitchers of beers and pizza specials.
See ya either this week at darts or Saturday at the Pubcrawl.
