Oy Vey!

So what does an old man living in Brookline know of anything? With hobbled fingers I cannot type. My walker is my wife, er, I mean my life.

However, once a week I brave the hobbledehoy to get my Weekly Dig. You make for me laughter.

I know nothing. Oy vey! But I know dis-- er, this: Common sense. Because you make for me laughter—Ms. Cara, I too spot birds which are not pigeons (Letter from the Editor, 4.16.08)—I shall endeavor to share this wisdom.

If 10 acres of land can comfortably support 20 people, it stands to reason that it cannot support 200 people. Is this not so?

I'll tell you a story. In my country, the well, not the church, was the center. Everyone guarded the well. Well, without water, what?

Now, we poison the well. We protect the church.

Those who do not realize the importance of the well will wither, will they not? How do you say, those who use the most water will cry the loudest when the well goes dry.

P.S. I know where Whitey Bulger is. He is hiding in plain sight. He is working at the Herald and calling himself Howie Carr!

So pay me.

Shalom.

 

Academicz read dis magazine!!

Dear Weekly Dig,I wish the author of this week's Soapbox (4.16.08) had done a Google search or completed the New York Times article in question before making a fool of herself. Those two scientists always think a particle accelerator is going to mean the end of the world. There are more than two scientists in the world, and most would tell Ms. Jeffers to see a therapist about her Apocalypse obsession, not publish an article about it. Sincerely,

JOSEPH CAPUTO

LOL

Did anyone else pick up on the amazing typo/Freudian slip in the Times article referenced by today's Soapbox (4.15.08)? When the article continues onto page A8 or whatever, the very bottom line of one of the columns, it calls the Large Hadron Collider the "Large Hardon Collider." Awesome.

Day #1 at Tales...

By pinklady on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Began late with a perfect Pimm's Cup and breakfast at the Napoleon House. YUMMMM...If you've never had a Pimm's Cup do yourself a favor and check this cocktail out, especially if you happen to be in the quarter, near the Napoleon House. We also sampled a Roast Beef Po' Boy, since evidently the deep fried version we had the evening before just wasn't enough for us, and a Muffaletta, which comes portioned as a whole, half, and quarter sandwich. We ordered the quarter size, and it was still as big as my head.

 


Tales Pre-party

Before dinner MiMi, Em, and I (Pink Lady) head down to the Carousel Bar for Vieux Carres and to meet up with Hanky Panky and Barbara West. The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.
