Celtics Impending Celebration

Submitted by adam on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 20:35.

I'm a little worried about tonight. The Celtics are on the verge of becoming the first Boston sports team in decades to win a Championship at home.

Consider what happened in 2004 when the Red Sox and Patriots won. And neither of those championships were won in Boston!

Thank You Conover Tuttle Pace

Eastern Bank recently unleashed their new ad campaign by Conover Tuttle Pace. The new slogan: True Blue.

Below is a loose transcript of one of their radio spots.

It's the color of a cobblestone street in Newburyport.
It's the color of the golden dunes of the cape.
It's the color of cranberry bogs in Middleboro...
and bluberry pancakes in Jamaica Plain.
It's the color of a Brockton boxer.
It's the color of fireworks in July...

This is getting ridiculous

(Hopefully) By May 5th, the following image will depict the buildings I have lived in over the last two years. I guess I like this block.

My latest place became unavailable when my current landlord put the apartment up for sale. The new buyer initially indicated that he wanted to rent it to me at the same price, but then reneged on that.

There is a disgusting email making the rounds that was forwarded to me today.

Shady Stats

Submitted by adam on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 14:14.

I hate news articles that use statistics that don't stand up to a simple reality check test. I came across this beauty from Reuters this morning.
"There were nearly 11 billion pets in China in 2007"
Wow. 8.5 pets for every man woman and child in China. They must really love fish or something.
