Thursday Ramblings

With Halloween coming up, the rush is on to find a decent costume to wear. The rush is also on for watchdog groups to get irate at politically incorrect costumes, like the “illegal alien” costume, which is an orange prison jumpsuit with an alien mask and a fake green card. Those looking for a real [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 6

Poor Richard Seymour. The defensive end was a pivotal cog in the Pats’ dominance of the last decade. It took two guys to block him, turning old, slow guys like Tedy Bruschi into Pro Bowlers. But even if Big Rich could take on three guys he couldn’t save the Raiders. Oakland is averaging 83 yards [...]

October 15th carries much historical significance in terms of sporting events. On this day in 1981, Krazy George Henderson invented the very decent wave. That’s right, next time your at a ballgame and people start doing the wave, think of Krazy George (Yes, it’s his real name). It all started in Oakland as the A’s hosted the [...]

If You Can’t Run With The Big Dogs, Stay On The Porch

Two gigantic dogs are hoping to bark, claw and run their way into the Guinness Book of World Records. The first is George, above, a Great Dane belonging to Tuscon, Ariz., resident Dan Nasser. George stands 42 inches tall and tips the scales at 245 pounds. George may seem like an intimidating pup, but Nasser says [...]

Tubesteak No Loner Has ‘World’s Biggest Penis’

Tubesteak’s foot-long, well, tubesteak, has been knocked off its perch as the world’s biggest by a 40-year-old from Brooklyn, N.Y., whose unit is almost as big as Tubesteak’s — when it acts like a scared baby turtle. Jonah Falcon recently reclaimed his title as “World’s Biggest Penis” by having a medical doctor measure him in [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 5

F’ing John Lackey. Jon Lester makes one mistake, Takashi Saito, as usual, sucks and we’re down 1-0. If we didn’t have Josh Beckett, I’d be a little worried right about now. Hey, this is football picks, not baseball picks, which brings me to another Josh I’m very high on: McDaniels. I can’t believe I doubted [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 2

Poor Tubesteak. On his way to Georgia earlier this week, he was involved in a minor accident on I-95 in South Carolina, resulting in a duffel bag filled with sex toys and old porno mags being spilled across the Interstate. All of his cyber sleeves were destroyed when wind blew them into the opposite direction [...]

Thursday Ramblings: Patriots Preview Edition

A combination of the ability of Jarvis Green and draft picks Ron Brace (second round) and Myron Pryor (sixth round) is what ultimately sent Richard Seymour to Oakland. It wasn’t a money issue, as the Pats would have happily just eaten his $3-plus million salary this year and not resigned the former Georgia Bulldog next [...]

Thursday Ramblings

The Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford announced its season schedule recently, and suspiciously there is a lack of good jams coming in the fall and winter. Who is coming, however, is hysterical comedian Ron White (Tater’ Salad). Did you know Ron White got arrested one year ago for possession of marijuana on a private plane? [...]

So You Think Obama’s The Coolest President Ever?

Call me when he slays a rhino like Theodore Roosevelt did in 1909. After leaving the Oval Office, he embarked on an African safari with several companions, hunting and trapping everything from insects to elephants that were be shipped back to the U.S. for the  Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History. Roosevelt and [...]

Brett Favre in Minnesota? Brett Favre getting a helicopter ride to the team facility? Have the Vikings been watching the same film as the rest of the NFL? He single-handedly pushed the Jets out of the playoffs last year and cost Eric Mangini his job. He led the NFL in interceptions last year (22) and has only [...]

Decent Community is hitting the road tomorrow for the Phish concert in Hartford, Conn. Two set-list predictions I hope come true: Ya Mar and Lizards. … I am very psyched for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, starring Jeremy Piven as basically Ari trying to sell used cars. I Found a great trailer approved for [...]

Decent Community Reviews Old Country Buffet

If you’re famished and looking to grizzle in epic proportions, the Old Country Buffet is your destination. I rendezvoused with my parents and sister for some dinner yesterday and amid the scolding heat, my mother decided to forgo cooking duties for the evening. Reluctantly, the family gave in to my desire to hit up the [...]

Thursday Ramblings

The rumor rambled a few weeks ago about the Stoneforge Tavern coming to Dartmouth is officially true. The restaurant is going on Route 6 near BJ’s Wholesale Club in a building that has housed the Ground Round and IXTAPA. It will be all casual dress, unlike other Stoneforges that have casual and fancy sections. … [...]

How do the Patriots rank in Madden?

The mega-popular Madden 10 video game is set to his shelvesin two weeks. The latest edition of the football video game is an annual event for hard-core gamers, some waiting in lines at midnight for a copy. It’s popular in locker rooms around the NFL as well. It’s very common to find reporters asking questions [...]

Celebrate and shout, SouthCoast and beyond, because today is the start of the annual Portuguese Feast in New Bedford! More than 100,000 people attend the four-day celebration of Madeiran culture and heritage, which translates into thousands getting smashed on Madeira wine, grilling carne de espeto (pronounced kanda shpit) on a huge firepit and dancing to [...]

FAIRHAVEN — The Rose Alley Isotopes clinched the top seed in the playoffs Monday for the third time in the last four seasons with a double-header split with KMP. The Isotopes will now have a bye week and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. “Getting the top seed is huge,” coach Jon Darling said. “We can [...]

Thursday Ramblings

New Bedford has its share of criminals and dumb teenagers, but the kids of today are taking it to a whole new level. On an almost-daily basis, calls are coming in over the police scanner about teenagers hanging out near off ramps and jumping in front of cars coming off the highway. Dumbest thing ever? [...]

Thursday Ramblings

I hope the rumor about the Stoneforge Tavern coming to Dartmouth becomes reality. … Good news for comic book movie fans: The Green Lantern is set to hit theaters in 2011, staring Ryan Reynolds in the lead spot. Martin Campbell, who directed James Bond movies Goldeneye and Casino Royale, has signed on to direct the [...]

The Adventures of Sebastian: Marijuana and Art Final

The place was packed full. Dudes drinking beers, playing beer pong and dancing with lots of pretty ladies. People standing, moving, talking, yelling over loud music, chugging brews — the classic college party. Sebastian, slightly buzzed and seeking a place to toke some reefer, grabbed his buddy Mike, a burly fella, and his girlfriend Carrie, [...]
