The newest BWP blog is Boston Cocktails and he's (Chris Cagle, of Left Center Left fame), already putting the quality of our vitrolic drivel to shame. Even his intro post is good, but especially check out Shaken or Stirred?.

Charlie Wrigley on Boston is Funny found a Magician's card in the men's bathroom at the Starbucks in Brookline, and hilarity ensued:

I came across your card today. I have a few questions. Would you feel comfortable answering a few by email?
Thanks!
…
Hi Charlie,
Can you refresh my memory and tell me how you know me? It depends on the type of questions you wish to ask. Let me know what the questions are so that I can make an evaluation on whether to answer them by e-mail or not. I assume the questions are MAGIC related. I’ll try to help you out if I can.
Regards,
Daniel.

And it just gets better.

Another new BWP blogger, Back Bay Bob, recently told us the story of The Best Valentine's Day Ever:

Well, I survived Valentine’s Day, but just barely. The day started out badly. Loraine got back late Monday, and when I got frisky in the morning, she was like, “Baaaaahhhhhb, please.” She was like, “I’ve got a headache,” and switched on the tube. She says, “let’s watch the news.” I mumbled something about watching some porn, instead. And it just so happened right then on the TV there was Neil Entiwistle, and they were talking about his porn business, or whatever. Freakin psychopaths like that give porn a bad name. Because, then Loraine’s like, “Neil Entwistle watched porn, too. You aren’t gonna shoot me in the head are you?”

Boston Pro Sports reflects on the greatest rivalry in sports and admits he'd be hard pressed to let it go:

And for many Boston fans, myself including, we really don’t need any or snide comments or specific reason to get amped for the Red Sox, particularly when they are playing against the Yankees. And we certainly don’t need any more reason to hate them. I can think of 40 roster reason and 26 pieces of jewelry to start. And that’s not even including the 3,276 Yankee fans I encounter each season who constantly feel the need to jam these reasons in my face simply because I cheer for my team. Judging from this, you would think that I would be as ambitious to bury the rivalry myself.
However it just might be impossible for me to do this…

The New England Geek points out the obvious about RPG-based businesses:

Of all the horrible ideas I’ve heard of, working in a game when I get home is just about the worst.
It all reminds me of a comic from one of the old-ass D&D books where a group of dungeoneers are sitting around rolling dice and pretending to be executives in a highly industrialized society.
