February 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment

February 7th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Now, Hoffa is usually TellHimFred’s resident food critic, but I’m going to take a stab at a review here. See, after a long night of general mayhem, I dropped Hoffa off at his place and decided to check out Kickass Cupcakes in Somerville. I was impressed. I was very impressed.
Here’s the box:

My selection:

To be cool, the candidate [...]

is there a formula?

February 4th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Because if there is I want it.
OK, so Mrs. Hoffa (Lady J) and I are out on a weeknight - not a typical “income” night for the bar, but we’re NKOTB. (”______’ _____). We had a great New England appetizer - mussels in the shell (is there any other way?) served in a spicy pepper [...]

And these numbers add up to….

February 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

So, weeks ago Randi and I went to the 99 to find the following drawing on the piece of paper showing the day’s specials.

The first want: Flying cars.

February 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments

Hey Fredders. No, my face isn’t sore. Cutty had the opportunity to haul off and whack me one, and because our significant others were looking on at the time, he wimped out and gave me a love tap. All I can say is I wouldn’t have been so generous. But to each his own.

February 1st, 2009 · 7 Comments

Well, I lost the last slap bet I was in when Ohio State was steamrolled by LSU. This super bowl, since the pats weren’t involved, I decided to rejuvenate the slap bet. Cutty and I wanted the Steelers. Opposite and Hoffa wanted the, wait, what was that team’s name?
