Our Gangbanger in Chief

The Herald digs up an old photo of Tom Menino flashing the same sort of finger symbol that got Paul Pierce in trouble.

Deaf family member

I have a cousin who is deaf. I always feel bad that my ASL is pretty poor. Last time I talked with him, I ended up telling him that I'm sorry for forgetting most of my signing vocabulary.

You only get to slug them if it's below your waist. Hehe.

Fun game.
