Naturally, there's a site that collects tacky tourist photos and, yes, of course, one of the entries involves the Red Auerbach statue and some guy's finger. Guess it beats what Harvard students do to poor John Harvard, though.

Swamp Thing awaits next victim trick-or-treater on Glendower Rd.

Even on Halloween, it's kind of weird talking to a guy who looks like he just climbed out of a fetid swamp, surrounded by body parts and giant vampire bats. He said it took him about a week to get ready for tonight. As I was leaving, he gave me a wave, as much as his condition allowed, and muttered "Have a good Halloween!"

He was holding a guitar, but in the short time I listened to him at Downtown Crossing, Fester didn't actually play. Instead, he sang "Yesterday" to a karaoke CD.

In the "kids today" department, as I was walking up to the Forest Hills side from the Oak Grove side, these two teen girls in front of me were talking about Halloween, when one blurted out, "I wanna be a WHORE!" You go, girl!

But apparently they are, as a group of them protested the BU biolab at BU.
