I hate to rain on the Mass-parade, but I was born in Buffalo, NY, and my Social Security number starts with a zero (see #7).

Your parents tell you that you were born in Beefalo cause they don't think you can handle the truth about the adoption.

what the hell is Major Mudd??

The most successful show in the half-century history of Boston's channel 7 premiered in the fall of 1961: "The Major Mudd Show", hosted by Ed McDonnell in an astronaut costume (this was, remember, just as our nation's space program was getting off the ground). At first, McDonnell as Major Mudd introduced Three Stooges shorts and cartoons, but by 1963, the Stooges and cartoons were cut back (though they still appeared), a studio-audience of children added, and comedy bits and games for the young studio audience were added. "Major Mudd" would enjoy healthy ratings well into the 1970's, and is fondly remembered today by those who watched the show while they were youngsters.

You are probably a few years too young to remember it.

I see, I don't remember that, I do remember the creature double feature and captn bob.

born and raised 25 miles west of boston, and i can safely say that even living here, massachusetts has some of the rudest people in the country, which is a damn shame, because i love new england.

go fuck yourself... you have no fucking clue what you're talking about












[yes that was sarcasm are we really that much different than anywhere else?? where have you been where people aren't rude? the boonies of new york state?]

You know, you are in one of the culinary meccas of the country. I think Seattle has great food, NJ has the bagels done properly, and I almost swooned from the greatness of a meal in Los Angeles. However, there is so much culinary research in the Boston, and New England area in general, . . . it just makes me giddy thinking of it.

I've been away from my twin for many years, and now that I'm only 40 minutes away from her family there is a BIG difference in my life. The feeling of belonging totally shot through the roof since I'm much closer to her. Her family is the only reason I'm staying here.

I actually was accepted into Boston University for Master's of Social Work program in 1993, but I decided to head to Seattle instead because of all the hype. Such choices with such consequences. . .

well they arent as rude in central new york no.....where i go to school. im just talking about all the road rage and agressiveness.....and no, i think there are places where life is a bit more laid-back and not as hectic. sure, it may be the boonies, but do we all have to act like assholes? just from working in retail in the state and driving around, there's a lot of dicks around.

Boston just has that reputation of being rude so once someone sees anyone being rude they just run with it.

Boston is no more rude than most of the major cities. I can't stand that nonsense.

There's just a harder edge to people here. I lived in Virginia for 24 years. They were supposedly nice, but it was all an act.

I'll take brutal honesty any day.

"12. Springfield is located "way out west."

Every fuckin time I travel out of state, everyone asks if I'm from Boston. I say "do I SOUND like I'm from Boston, ya know, there ARE other cities in Massachusetts!"
