Well, last night at 11:23 was the last time legendary Boston sportscaster, Bob Lobel, signed off the air. He once said, “thousands of sportscasts, and none of them went the way they were supposed to.” I guess last night began about the same. A little after I got home last night, Bob [...]

Baracky: The Movie
April 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Several months back, Barry and I made a bet on who’d get the nod from the Democrats to be the candidate to replace the war hawks Republicans. Foolishly, I took Hillary, he took Obama. The bet is simple, winner buys loser a steak dinner. Over the ensuing months, I realized that Hillary is completely batshit [...]

Seven things to love about Boston right now.
April 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment
1. The temperature is 76 degrees, with low relative humidity. Basically, this is perfect weather for humans. I don’t care who you are, 76 and not muggy is bliss.
2. Currently, 3 players on the Boston Red Sox are hitting above .400. Those three guys lead the AL in hitting. The Sox lead the league in [...]

My first motorcycle. By wee Jimmy Hoffa.
April 21st, 2008 · No Comments
On Saturday, I made my foray back into the world of motor vehicles, by purchasing “Sookie” - a 1982 Suzuki GS850G from a guy up in Chelmsford. No, the name came with the bike, and if you’re ever wondering about what happens when you change the name of a vehicle, just ask me or Loki [...]

What is the statute of limitations for complaining?
April 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Okay, here goes. My neighbors put up a basketball hoop right next to my apartment. Every single day the kids are out there shooting hoops right outside my window, and they are bouncing balls off my wall. It’s only a matter of time before they break a window- it is GOING TO HAPPEN.
Every morning they [...]

When Will Manny Reach 500 Home Runs?
April 17th, 2008 · No Comments
Welcome to the first Tell Him Fred poll! Where we’ll be periodically coming up with all sorts of random bullshit for you to vote on! Who has longer nose hair? Opposite or Cutty? Which is better? Mortadella or bologna? How many food items does Barry regularly cover with ketchup?
These are the burning questions that [...]
Our Old Cars
April 16th, 2008 · 5 Comments
EDIT: This post was conceived in the TellHimFred.com forums, where Hoffa asked us to post our P.O.S. cars of the past. We threw these all together in one blog post (Thx Opposite), and in doing so, it looked like one long post with no context.
So, what POS cars have you owned in the past? [...]

I swear, I heard it from my cousin’s friend.

Saw a great post on the Tucker Max forum today about harmless facts. These are either things you’ve completely made up out of the blue and passed off as the truth- or things people have told you that you’ve believed. Some examples:
Pandas are the only creatures on Earth, apart from Humans and Monkeys, that give [...]

The New Internet Memes- Get In On The Ground Floor
April 14th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Rickrolling is lame. I simply do not have time for the "Chuck Norris is awesome and I’m so ironic that I’m cool and you just don’t get it" bullshit that seems to be everywhere on the internet. I don’t care about the laughing baby, and your numa numa guy. Star wars kid can die in [...]
