Damn, ita, you have a lot of points to keep track of.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

Anyone else from Boston amused by the fact that Showtime is apparently making a show about the Bulgers, but setting it in Providence?
Note to others: Billy Bulger is the longtime (now former) president of the state senate, and his brother Whitey was a notorious gangster, currently on the lam (last I heard).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
He's still on the lam?! I remember the L&O:CI about him (bringing it all together).

Also, the Winter Hill of the Winter Hill Gang is Somerville, not Boston, and someone's mother or something used to live across the street from my aunts, and there was a huge bust of a weapons cache there once.

I actually blame my love of politicians on a lengthy chat with Billy Bulger at an impressionable age. He is one charming motherfucker, I tell you what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. I think I just got shanghaied into an internal promotional video. I am particularly weak willed during a migraine, if you can get me to respond.

I'm not surprised. Seems essential for the modern crime boss.ETA: charm, not work videos!

Although, I do see the humor value in a promotional video by a modern crime boss.

For the record: I assume the criminal brother is charming as well, but I have never met him.

Ha ha. Hey -- we should stop saying "shanghaied," huh? It's worse than "gypped."
