No, not on the field. Alicia checked in to let us know that while the line for the women's room was only a few people long, the line for the men's room "wraps around the corner and to the end of the hallway!"

On the way home from work tonight, I stopped at the Shaw's on Spring Street in West Roxbury (yes, it's true, somebody actually shops there!) for a few things. In the shampoo section, a couple of dudes (I know they were dudes because they kept calling each other "dude") were considering a pink, scrunchie-ish loofah-like thing with googly eyes, arms and legs. Dude 1 held the thing up and asked Dude 2:

If there was a girl in my shower, would she be like "wow!" or "no!"?

Dude 2 said "no," so Dude 1 put the thing back on the shelf.

Yes, it has come to this:

... It's for every woman who enthusiastically shared an insight about a player and received only a blank stare and this comment, "Wow, you know a lot about baseball for a chick." ...

Bobb reports on a wedding he attended this past weekend that had a Red Sox theme:

... We knew something was up when we got the invitation, which was in the design of a ticket to Fenway. In fine print on the back, it urged invitees to don their best Red Sox garb. Two attendees violated the no-Yankees attire mandate. That's OK, someone made up for it by wearing a Yankees Suck T-shirt - to a wedding. (And you can mark weddings off the list of places you'd never think you'd hear that chant but did). ...

By now, everyone's heard that Governor Patrick's daughter is a n out and proud lesbian. Good (or planned?) timing with the Boston Pride festivities this weekend. There's a full article on Towleroad, one of my favorite bloggers out there.

Boston Subway Crush is a new venue for all you people who just can't get enough Missed Connections. My favorite so far (under m4m):

you look like the charlie card guy

I swear to god, you look like him and I think that is really hot. Every time I pull out my card I think of you.

Auntie Scotch reports that the unspecified downtown hotel where she and some friends took out her future sister-in-law for a last singles night was crawling with businessmen and escorts:

... The cherry was when I was leaving a convention-goer from Chicago approached me and asked if I'd like to come up to his room so he could give me a massage. I declined but like the true creepy gentleman he was he went out to the street and hailed me a cab anyhow. See ladies, there are a few left out there - even if they are probably married with children and have a bottle of KY ready and waiting in their hotel room for the first girl who says yes. Chivalry is alive indeed.
