Being that it's Boston, and most of what I know of it is from TV, including when O'Donnell gets all "Larry from The Block", I'm going to pretend that the commissioner called the Post "retarded" and actually said "shut your fuckin' piehole, you freakin' liahs" because, you know, TV is never wrong about our regional differences. As horrifying as this stuff always is, every year I find it harder to be *shocked*

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I hope the fact that it's Jackie Robinson Day is a coincidence.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Stories of some people finishing the marathon and going directly to donating blood.
I get it, but that seems like a really bad idea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Let's say it was their friends/family who were donating.

I hope the fact that it's Jackie Robinson Day is a coincidence.
And the game here has been postponed due to snow. It is rescheduled for tomorrow - which will also likely get snowed out.
After the Aurora shooting, the blood banks really encouraged people to donate starting a week or so after the tragedy to replenish supplies moreso than immediately.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
...and somehow it was the email from my massage therapist (a block from the finish line) that made me tear up??

My mother called me today to tell be about the bombs in Boston. Holy crap. I went to look up news clips and came across video titles like "Amazing Visuals!" for amateur videos. Dude, gross.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Guh. This bomb was designed to maim.
Roupen Bastajian, a 35-year-old state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., had just finished the race when they put the heat blanket wrap on him and he heard the blasts.
"I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor," he said. "We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated. ... At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing."
