dur, just read your headline and realized I made the same joke.
Yeah, but ...
Yours was better.
Bloomsday is Doomsday...
Instead of "Ulysses" you could say they are "Uselesses"
is that too far a stretch?
(I always knew my English major with a concentration in Irish Literature and Dramatic Arts would amount to something someday. Me makin' wisecracks and bad puns on a universal aggregator of boston news...)
I'll bet

OK....
Either the BPD wants you to think they're doing a good job getting machine guns off the streets (even if it means lying to you), or they can't tell a cheap toy AK-47 from a real one.

Kind of stupid that he was still doing it out of his home and had upgraded to coke and pills. Some people never grow up it seems.
those were the days
yes, rick was just a pot dealer a decade ago but he expanded into better and more expensive things several years back.
They Beat It!!!
They beat all the charges against them due to police fouling up investigation!!!!!
