My friend who goes to Endicott College in Beverly Mass (right next to Glouster or however the hell you spell it)  just texted me about this.  Apparently there is a huge uproar in the Boston area (I wonder why?).  She said news cameras are all over her campus which is about the size of a Brooklyn back yard.  There are about 1,000 kids at this school and from what I can tell, a lot of CT and NY transplants.

The e-mail:

Please join us next Monday, November 23rd 4pm outside the Post Center. We will be celebrating the Yankees winning
the World Series. There will be a fire hydrant painted in their honor….

Personally, I think the Yankees winning is a cause for global celebration.  Its good for NY, the North East, for baseball, rap stars and famous basketball players who like the wear Yankees gear even though they are from other cities.... etc.  Painting a fire hydrant not only honors the Yankees, but firefighters as well so its a doubly fitting tribute.

"Bar stool sports" has the consensus Boston reaction:

This is in the heart of the North Shore. Like what’s the week after that? Painting a fire hydrant to celebrate when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and killed a shitload of Americans? The only possible explanation for this is that this is just a ruse to round up all the Yankee fans in one spot and then exterminate them. That has to be it.

Does that make anyone else smile?

Bottomline is the students need to riot or something to make this right.

Sorry Boston.  We had enough of your riots when you won the world series.  You dont get to riot when youre KNOCKED OUT IN THE FIRST ROUND. What is it with Mass holes and rioting? 

The balace is once again right in the Universe.
