Have you heard of:
Jeeves and Wooster?

I thought that was how you pronounced "Worcester"

This is wicked funny, dude!
Yea, that was good. I was laughing by the time he said "Riveeyah". Braintree? Every time I visited Braintree it was raining, as I recall.
My grandmother lived in this old Victorian on the hill overlooking the street. I grew up thinking that Lawrence was a pretty rough town, and I remember having this fear that someone would break in through the window while I slept. She called it the "front room" but in my mind it was the back room, anyway, my point is that Lawrence is not the seedy metropolis I always thought.

Lawrence isn't so bad. Brockton, Fall River, or Revere are a different story!

The more I think about that clip, the funnier it gets! Now I'm laughing about the people talking about the relatives it how they know each other, it is so true. I went to Fall River but I guess I don't remember it being that bad.
I ended up getting off the T in Roxbury once by accident! I was like 16, not good.
The majority of my family lives in Mass, so pretty much every weekend we were there for family or recreation. My dad loved to fish, plus he lived in Salem, Springfield, and a whole bunch of other places.and by the time I came along he was worked for Leslie Ellis in Caimbridge. I was born in Salem, in fact. Now I'm just rambling, no I was going to tell you that we went to Plum Island a lot. I'm not sure if it was there, but my dad always used to take me to a wildlife preserve featuring a board walk through the marshes. It was a perfect thing to do on a day off; we would begin with the goal of spotting pussy willows and cat-o'-nine-tails. Wish I remembered exactly where that was. I miss the museum and the aquarium too, member Andre the seal?

Just saw my reply. I don't really LIVE fishes. Meant Love them. Sometimes.
They used to be much bigger. Index finger size. Now, minnows.
I was going to reply to this by saying that happens to me all the time with live/love. Instead I'll share a sad story about ice fishing. We were in Georgetown, where my aunt lived at the time, and the pond had frozen over. I was furious with my dad who still insisted that I traverse the ice with a tether tied around my waist for safety. Dad bought minnows for bait, as usual, and I kept one for a temporary pet. He had his own little bucket. I spent hours on the ice getting to know him, watching him swim, - he was coming home with me! My sadistic cousins diverted my attention by telling me that they needed my HELP? operating the ice auger (come on, I was an eight year old girl with a rope dangling from her midsection!) , and they took my Minnow over to the fire and cooked him!
