The Epidemic of Self-Pity in Boston, MA

[jimboston]

I've never been to Boston, MA - But I've been to Boston, Lincs. That's a shithole that's full of inbreds. You can't get a pizza false stop. The pizza never took off in Boston because no one has managed to make it taste nice, because they boil everything and everything has to be accompanied with Turnips.

The Deep-boiling-Pan Turnip Supreme with Turnip filled Crust is best left alone...

I figure, Boston in Amerika was settled by some of these backward morons. I figure Jim has a weird & secret love for boiled root vegetables. Jims Great great great granddads' intelligence was equal to a sheep living in Kent.

Thanks.

I do like a traditional New England Boiled Dinner (i.e. Corned Beef and Cabagge).

This is simply because the people tend to be leftists.

Unfortunately this is an accurate complaint / problem of Boston.

I like to make fun of New Jersey as much as the next New Yorker

I like how someone from the burbs of New York is shitting on other burbs of New York.

You ever live in the city yourself?

Nah bro, too poor.

EDIT 1: I am very proud of where I live. I love the Valley more than I love the City, even after acknowledging that "upstate" would be nothing without the City.

EDIT 2: And to not go too far off-topic, go Giants, I guess.

Cheese and Rice New Jersey....

I've noticed over the years that Boston has a serious problem with self-pity. I'm sure you've all seen it. Remember how pre-2004, all Red Sox fans were unbearable with their constant whining and crying about how unfair things are? Have any of you ever visited Boston? You can't walk half a block without seeing someone complaining about how they're "put upon" by society.

What can we do to help the city Boston emotionally age past the infant stage? Are they just a lost cause?

This is simply because the people tend to be leftists.

You say that likes it dirty or something....

Too poor for Manhattan maybe. Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens welcome you though.

I don't know anything about Boston except that:

1) They sent Creme Pies to American Generals during Christmas 1944 to give them the power to defeat Hitler - something like that anyway

2) Boston Bruins Defeat Canucks, Cause Riots - awesome Hockey team

3) the Motherf*cking Dropkick Murphys are from there



but if you really listen to their music, they have a song called Shipping Up to Boston. And the lyrics are:
I'M SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa (like a baby?)
I'M SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (like Lucille Ball?)

You know what else is from Boston?

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones!





^Dicky rocking the S.O.D. hat.

Evidence of the self-pity epidemic is pouring in!

Things were rowdier at UMass, where police in riot gear and on horseback used smoke bombs to disperse 1,500 students who gathered in the main residential part of the campus after the game.

It was an Occupy Wall Street riot.

That totally explains why they were chanting "Fuck the Giants".

They meant the giants of Wall Street - the hedge fund managers and the like. The giants of commerce.

It's no surprise they were wearing Patriots gear... American patriots vs. the Wall Street (New York) giants.

You ever met Karl Marx? The man was notorious for not bathing--just like all leftists. That's pretty much what the Communist Manifesto is about--practicing good hygiene is so bourgeois. Be dirty, be free, but none shall be dirtier than his fellow proletarian.

To be fair, it was UMass. They offer a concentration in rioting.

Also, the dogs were the scary part, from what people told me.
