I'm not sure what he was trying to say, but it seems like it'd be a variant on a Boston-is-more-something than we are. Usually it gets the evil liberal label, but this one I just can't parse.
Gimme some milk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
According to this article, it's not illegal to be publicly nude in Vermont. Huh.
Now I'm wondering if it's legal in Vermont to be in public with no skin.
I'm also wondering what's wrong with my brain....

Lobster shippers find a creative way to get around the new airline restrictions: [link]
Clearwater Seafoods used to add frozen gel packs to live lobster boxes when preparing a carry-on for travellers looking to take home a taste of Nova Scotia.
That stopped on Aug. 10, after British police said they foiled a plot to blow up planes flying from Britain to the United States using carried-on substances.
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority reacted by banning almost all liquids and gels in carry-on luggage on flights within Canada and those to the U.S. and Britain.
To get around the new rules, Clearwater started to vacuum-seal bags of frozen vegetables so passengers could once again carry live lobster.

Oh, there should also be a painting entitled "Nude Descending Staircase, with Peas." It would need a window in the background so you could see something touristy from Eugene.

My take was that he (who was a guy being interviewed, not the writer of the article) was saying that if being publicly nude was common behavior, it would be happening in Boston if it was happening anywhere, being that it's a biggish city that's also known to be liberal. Of course, that whole Boston-is-liberal thing has always run up against that Banned-in-Boston thing forever, so I'm not sure it's a terribly well-reasoned argument.
