That Eason/Season rhyme is so tight

Anyone who knows me knows what a huge football (pants) fan I am. So, it was with true delight that I happened across this prime piece of public access Pats-lust from 1986—aka the year of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Originally I was looking for any footage I could find from the late, great, poor-man’s MTV for Massholes, V66. There wasn’t much to be found, unfortunately; but any disappointment was quicky washed away by the fine folks at Panorama, Brockton’s finest awkwardly hosted news magazine.

In the wake of the excitement generated by the Bears’ smash-hit “Superbowl Shuffle”, fight songs were right up there with the McD.L.T. on the popularity scale. Pat Tallarico’s contribution to the genre certainly upped the ante in terms of songcraft; but it’s the passion that sets this one apart. Each wobbly note, each botched lyric, the awesome holler at 2:18—they all add up to a truly invigorating call to arms. Or beers. Here:

For those who don’t remember, we got creamed. Then the Challenger exploded two days later. Oh, and Crocodile Dundee was released. Suffice it to say, things were never again the same.

Cat Pukes

Not actually Poo

SOUTH BOSTON – Early stage forensics efforts have indicated that it was local housecat, Poo Monkeybuttons, who puked in the corridor of a residential unit in South Boston sometime last night.

While speculation over who was “a sick little fella” originally seemed centered on Boo, a special guest kitty with a tum-tum who is going to play with Poo while mommy and daddy are away, officials were able to confirm the identity of Mr. Monkeybuttons on sight of the scene alone.

“His eyes have looked a little glassy lately,” an unnamed source said. “And he put it in that place where he likes to puke.”

Cleanup efforts were underway as early as 10am, with workers describing the scene as one of the worst in the corridor’s history.

“It’s not something you want to see before your morning bowl of Maypo,” one said. “Luckily, these paper towels are quilted, so this shouldn’t take long.”
