Tom Menino will be walking up and down Centre Street in West Roxbury this afternoon cutting ribbons at new stores and restaurants.

Bobby Finstock goes for broke, makes eight dates with women from Match.com in ten days, reports on the experience:

... Boston is filled with bandwagon sports fans. Never in my life have I met so many people in a week that are all excited about the Celtics playoff games but never watched a regular season game. I wonder if this is just a women thing or a Boston thing or some odd combination of the two. ...

A couple who met on a Worcester Line train are getting married on the train today, the Globe reports:

... Richey, 36, and Miller, 40, will exchange vows on the inbound P556 between Southborough and Wellesley Farms as the train rolls along on its normal schedule. ...

Lisa is waiting at the Green Dragon for a friend she hasn't seen in ages when a woman walks up to the bar and strikes up a conversation with her. Turns out she's a hooker, just in from the Coast, and she's there to meet one of her friends, too:

... He's tall. Wavy brown hair that is very styled. Lots of product. His shirt looks like it's made of gauze. This is comforting, should we need first aid supplies.

He drops a bottle on the ground and picks it up, turning to my new friend, "Is this yours?" The bottle reads: Colon Prep. She (and I don’t know if this is part of Escort 101) doesn't even bat an eye and says, no, someone else must have dropped it. ...

1. Cougars often wear fur. If real or not, they are fur wearing creatures which TOTALLY makes sense.

2. They hunt in packs. TOTALLY makes sense too! Are you taking notes? Where there is one cougar, there are more cougars. ...

Joe explains why being de-friended by the ex-girlfriend on Facebook is just about as painful of a trivial thing you can imagine for us Gen-Xers.

Namely, that the best a man can get does a very good job at eliminating stubble. Marcy raves about her hubby's Mach 3s:

... I have seen the light and I will not go back. The Venus razor has nothing on this Mach 3. And I don't need my shaving cream to smell like raspberries or mango or mountain rain - I just want to be razor burn and sliced-skin free. And I am. ...

Mike Mennonno reports on his experience signing up for that dating service advertised on the T that offers to rub out unqualified daters:

... They don't pull any punches. You know how Match.com will put a nice spin on your personality profile. Like you could be a serial killer, and your profile will say something like "you only kill the ones who deserve it!" Not at PoF. ...
