People who say "How's it hanging?" as a greeting.
You can always answer this with "To the left" and shift your weight a little. Makes them less likely to ask again.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
(Signed, "Celtic," as in the basketball team, pronounced SELL-tick, and used as a noun.)
I was watching BBC World News on BBCA this morning, and found out that they also pronounce the football (soccer) team the same way, which surprised me--I'd assumed that they would get it right ("Kell-tic").

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Is that at North Station or Salem, Frank?
North Station. It's on at both, but Salem has gotten Draconian with their policy (no more than two Herc and if you have a Herc you can only have one more beer unless they are familiar with you and/or the manager comes by and talks to you). They are serving it in a slightly larger glass (14 oz tulip over the 12 oz tumbler), but not enough to get that crazy. I had 3 (possibly 4 - needless to say after 3 things get fuzzy, especially with other beers in the mix) last Friday at Canal Street (granted, it was two different beertenders and I went over and had dinner with a friend in between) and nobody said "boo".

If you can get ahold of Anderson Valley Winter Solstice Ale, it KICKS ASS.

Yeah, they're Scottish, they're weird. IJS.

Not professionally, no. I'm in an academic library. Nutty is an ex-children's librarian, though.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Where did you find it???
I didn't. A friend (with whom I tried it for the first time a few years back when we stumbled across it at the Sunset Grill) managed to find it at the suburban location of one of those big stores on Harvard Ave in Allston (I think it's another Marty's, but it might be a Blanchard's). Sunset will definitely have it in the bottle (and possibly on tap).
I haven't really gone looking in the Salem area. That Vinnin Square store that often seems to get off-the-wall beers, or possibly the Kappy's (?) out by the malls would be a place to check.
