UPDATE! BUYER ANNOUNCED! PLEASE SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!
Here’s the deal: Two buddies and I got some season tickets for the Celts this season. We have three lower level balcony seats for tonight’s Game 6. I just found out that one of my buddies cannot make it. I thought he was kidding at first, until I learned his reason — and he’s in some of the most extreme circumstances possible. So while my thoughts are with my good buddy, I asked him what he wants to do with the extra ticket. And here is what he said:
“Offer the extra ticket to someone for face value as well as a proclamation of decency. Just tell them to go on a rant about what’s decent and award the ticket to the person who displays the most decency.”
So, if you would like to join me and my decent buddy to tonight’s Celts game, you can give us your decent rant in the comments box below, or you can email a decent rant to decentcommunity@gmail.com. Be sure to include all of your contact information. This is no hoax. We’ll be in touch with the person who gives us the most decent words by the end of the workday and will meet around the Garden before the game.
***UPDATE***
FIRST OFF, THE DECENT COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR EXTREMELY DECENT WORDS! THIS OUTPOURING OF THOUGHTS ON DECENCY WAS WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS. WE WISH WE COULD SELL OUR TICKETS TO ALL OF YOU, BUT THERE WAS ONE ENTRY THAT STOOD OUT FROM THE REST.
WE RECEIVED THE ENTRY VIA EMAIL FROM A MAN NAMED CARL FROM FRAMINGHAM WHO TOOK A LOT OF TIME WITH HIS RANT, AND ALSO SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE THE TYPE OF RANT WE ARE LOOKING FOR. WE’LL POST HIS ENTRY TOMORROW AFTER WE RECEIVE HIS PERMISSION TO DO SO — WHICH HOPEFULLY HE’LL GIVE US TONIGHT. WE’VE NOTIFIED CARL AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THE GAME WITH HIM TONIGHT!
AGAIN — THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SUBMITTED. CHECK BACK EVERY NOW AND THEN TO SEE HOW DECENCY IS SPREADING ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY!
***POST SCRIPT***
***What can we say?!?! Carl and two Community members had a legendary night on Tuesday. It was really one of the best nights of all time and only now do I think I’ve fully recovered! From the amount Carl drank, he probably still hasn’t recovered!! Anyway, we said we’d post his winning entry — so here it is. Sorry it took a couple days.
“I’ve been trying to get some tickets throughout this long frieakin playoff run, but my budget, my luck, my circumstances, and my bitch girlfriend have prevented me from doing so. When I came across this contest I thought I was one of the luckiest dudes in the world, because despite my daily trials and tribulations, it’s decency that’s let me view where I’m at, and where we’re all at, in a positive way. I have good vibes about evrything going on right now!
A little background and some recent happenings: I work at Dominoes Pizza in Framingham as a part-time delivery guy and part-time pizza maker and last week my boss accused my of stealing pizzas. I denied the shit to my grave even though I had really been stealing them. I need to eat something! Anyway, I wasn’t fired and I still steal pizzas and I think that’s just about a decent as it gets.
But there’s other decent stuff too. I’ve been having problems with my bitch girlfriend and I think the dude next door to me has been fucking her or at least trying to, but I’m not sure. The mother fucker is a fuckin douche bag and I’d claw his eyes out if I wasn’t going to get arrested and pay for his medical bills and shit like that. This weekend I pounded on his door and when he opened i and egged the fuck out of his aprtment. I’m normally an easy-going guy, and if I went to the game with you guys I wouldn’t start any trouble unless you gave my bitch girlfreidn lockjaw because she gave you guys so much head.
For real, I feel like shit has gotten better since I saw your website a couple months ago. I think I really understanf decency and the way to look at things in a good way. You have to have a good attitude! Honestly I try to find the good in everything and when I do that, combined with if the Celtics win tonight, decency would be off the charts and I want share it with you guys because you seem so freakin decent and it would be so freakin fun! That’s decency — fun is decency!
Seriously even if I’m not picked I’ll still think things are decent and i’ll probably have a decent time watching the game and sorting out my sea glass collection. But you know you want to give me the shit bro! You know it! BTW — beers, hot dogs, and some reefers on me! I know you guys are stoners!
I’ll be waiting for your call around 4:20. You know what I’ll be doin.

The best description of decency is anything not having to do with Bill Belichick. What a cheater that guy is.
All I can say is I hope this is not a haox I havnt gone to one celtics game all year during the season money was kinda tight and with the tickets prices of the playoffs rising to thousands of dollars its been impossiable….I arrived at ticketmaster in the natick mall for a last chance to get a ticket to game 6 out of all of us that were there only 1 ticket was sold for 328 this is ridicolous all I want to do is to say I went to at least 1 game of the celtics champoionship season
Scott, that is exactly how not to win the contest…
Hello - This is a little different but all I can say is I’m a true Boston Sports fan. I was 10 when the Sox went through the imposiible dream year in 1967. I remember being a 10 year old boy and reading the old Record American with Rico Petrocelli on the cover smoking a cigar and the game 7 caption read “Now or Never” It’s kind of how I feel about tonight’s game. It would be so unbelievable to witness a championship in Boston….the greatest sports city ever. Whoever you pick it’s nice to know there are decent people out there. I’ve read many postings on Craig’s List who are from people who are not not decent or true Celtics fans. I would never forget the experience of watching the Celtics win a championship in Boston. I would share the experience with as many people as I could. I appreciate your offer and I hope your buddy is ok. GO CELTICS! BEAT LA!
Sincerely
Robert Sheeran
My husband is a huge Celtics fan and a really decent guy. But should I take out another mortgage on the house to buy him a ticket with a $50 face value? Give up plans for our childrens’ college educations? Is it not enough of a cost that I’ll be left alone to deal with dinner, bath and bedtime of our two children under the age of 3?
The poor guy was up last night with our baby for about two hours. Between middle of the night feeding and the Celtics he is getting no sleep. But somehow I know that he’d find the energy to cheer on the Celtics tonight. And I’d be the greatest wife ever if I was to win him these tickets. And he deserves them for being such an amazing dad.
So the ticket isn’t for me, so I’m not sure if this “rant” qualifies, but I promise my husband is so decent that he’d buy you beer, hotdogs, or whatever other indecently price food you wish out of gratitude for your gesture of decency!
I am not sure I can discuss decency after going through the process of trying to find tickets for tonight’s game through ebay, craigslist, ticket brokers etc.
Ticket brokers set outrageous prices that people then think is market. They then reject very good offers for horrible tickets, replying with paragraph long hard sells on 100 dollar tickets for 600 each.
I understand its a free market, but the greed that Celtic success has caused is pretty unsettling.
YOU GUYS on the other hand are very decent. This is a great idea and I hope you get some great submissions.
To give you a little background on my celtic fan resume (in case this helps). I was a 1/2 season ticket holder in 01/02, 02/03. Then I moved to NYC, Denver and Cali for a year each. I returned last year for the horror show, but watched every game and hoped. I know my stuff and would be a good person to watch with.
You guys are very decent.
Boston Sports is the definition of decency. Despite all the negativity being associated with my patriots people seem to have forgotten the main concept they reminded the league of back in 01 when they beat the rams… Decency is entering the field of play as a team. These guys had more heart than anyother franchise I have seen in my lifetime… maybe not more than the redsox of 04, they might be equal. Tell me those guys werent decent?? To play as hard as they did to come back from being down 3-0 to the evil empire, if that aint decency please tell me what is?? Bottom line Boston is the most thorough, and real place in the world for everything!! sports, fans, food, general population… etc… Eg: sports fans stick with their teams in any and all conditions… this isnt like other fake, and shallow cities in the US where the team starts to suck and the seats dont fill up anymore… And all of you pretend Boston fans… I am not the least bit flattered that you now rock your red B’s on your hats or that you wear a randy moss jersey.. matter of fact I am insulted… We have plenty of real fans and we dont want any bandwagon riding chumps… Decency = Boston = Title town
so in a perfect world, you would just give me the ticket, but alas there are rules for this hard to come by ticket. the person who proclaimed “offer the extra ticket to someone for face value as well as a proclamation of decency. just tell them to go on a rant about what’s decent and award the ticket to the person who displays the most decency” is probaly the most decent person in boston and the united states of america. only he should be the one to use that seat because of his decency. i have never seen such a display of decency in my life and don’t feel as though i am decent enough to fill the void. however, i vaguely remember that i was pretty decent at some chinese joint awhile back maybe that could give me the upper hand to fill this decent seat. sleeping in the lobby was a pretty decent move on my part and i recommend any decent person to give it a try. at the very least your freinds will respect you more.
I believe the most decent thing to do is to not force you to read a hundred, long-winded posts about decency. Oh, and first round of beers will be on me.
I had season tickets last year. I went to every game, sometimes alone. This year they were more expensive so I found a season ticket holder that was looking to split his tickets. Found him on craigslist. I split the tickets with him in and agreed when the playoffs came around we would split those as well. This will be the 14th home playoff game and I have not been to one. He won’t return my calls or emails. He screwed me over big time. He knows what he is doing, yet his greed is more powerful then his concience. I am so happy for the Celtics, but more than a little bitter over the fact I am missing out on the biggest games of my lifetime. I should be there.
The common definition of decent typically denotes some sort of morality, good taste or good will. In this sense, displays of class and selfless deeds personify decency. However, on a personal level, this wonderful word stands for so much more. Decency embodies life’s greatest joys and most brilliant aspects, both large and small. Decency is a little leaguers first home run. Decency is a high tide swim or a sunset closing a day at the beach. Decency IS Bill Belichick and all that he stands for. Decency is an Augie sandwich after a night on the town. Decency is a beautiful woman and everything she can offer. Bronsons are decent, and burgers are too. Decency can come in all shapes, sizes and forms. It’s the smell of charcoal or the sound of the ocean. Decency is finding what’s decent and appreciating it. A 17th championship would be exceptionally decent, but nothing could be more decent than experiencing it first hand with two lifelong friends.
*** Note: If this is a hoax, it too was very decent.
No law reaches it, but all right-minded people observe it. It is true that decent people form a minority. Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it. We are decent 99 percent of the time, when we could easily be vile.
What is decent? What specific actions are decent? That’s where you will get disagreements. Some people consider it to be “indecent” for people of different races to date or marry. While others consider racism in any form to be highly immoral and offensive.
Which attitude is “decent?” We all have our opinions, but you cannot prove those opinions are right or wrong, all such profs ultimately come down to appeals to other opinions, or to tradition. And the same goes for issues of obscenity, public speech, etc.
My own touchstone for judging these things is: does the particular action or speech appear to be a good-faith effort to treat others in an honest and fair way? Does a persons acts do no harm to others (with the obvious exception of self-defense or the defense of others), but just to strees my point: Which image on TV is more obscene: the sight of a dead child lying on the street of a war-torn city-or the (admittedly tacky) “wardrobe malfunction” perpetrated at the Super Bowl a couple of years ago? Is the sight of a female breast-so offensive fundamentalist Christians (who claim this is God’s creation) “indecent” while the image of brutality to a child is fit viewing for other children on the nightly news is acceptable? Some people seem to think so-but if we think about it carefully, I think most of us would be very critical of a society with the sort of value system those value choices imply.
Please give your friend my wishes, and realize how lucky you are to have a friend such as him.
What is left in ths world that is decent? It seems like from ticket scalpers to video games there’s a decent chance indecency will be involved. I have found no decency in the thought of Kobe Bryant winning another title and being compared to Michael Jordan. I see no decency in Phil Jackson surpassing Red Auerbach’s record of 9 championships especially against the Celtics. And I certainly see no decency in Sasha Vuj@#*K who continues to show no honor (nor any “cowboy up”) in the way he loses control everytime he faces adversity. Dececy lives but not out in the open. It lives in balcony level of the Garden (watch out for those floor ticket fans). It lives in an Irish pub in the middle of Santa Monica where I was for game two. There it was, in the heart of L.A. where 200 transplanted Celtic fans all in green got together to root on the most storied franchise in any sport. The place belonged on Canal St., packed to capacity with everyone chanting “Kobe Sucks!” throughout that mighty win. Decency is giving a guy who has found a way to make it to one game every series a chance to complete the circle. Decency is the chance to rant and to have someone listen.
Decency: conformity to the recognized standard of propriety, good taste, modesty, etc.
I have scrapped together every penny this season to pay for a pair of pretty decent seats (1/2 season). No vacations, in fact, not even a weekend at Cuddles and Bubbles. Life since October has consisted of going to and watching Celtics games, Red Sox playoffs, Pats, Sox 2008, beer, work, my dog and not much else.
Having a girlfriend buy season tickets for a historic comeback year is a pretty fine measure of luck, commitment and decency one would think. He should have dropped and kissed the ground I walked on when he saw those beautiful glossy tickets arrive in the mail. Monthly payments for these tickets have been the equivalent of my rent when I first moved to Brookline and shared a crappy apartment with ratty furniture.
Fast forward quite a few years away from the crappy apartment, I meet *THIS* guy, cheer on the Celts for the 2002 run and I fell in love with him as I turned for a shoulder to cry on after the sweep. Life and luck got better and better, and we ended up moving in together. I left Brookline for the wilds of the North Shore, and settled in with the man and a sweet 42 inch plasma for hours of viewing pleasure.
So as we advance to the Detroit series , he most unfortunately has to travel for a work conference for the entire week, missing home games two and six. As a gesture of good will, I shared the tickets with his son (much to the chagrin of almost every friend I have). AMAZING. Historical. Too many clichés to explain the joy of victory. A week after his return from Texas, an interesting package arrived in the mail addressed to him, and as we open it together, I see the packing slip with the note “happy birthday, hope you enjoy it….Love, xxxx” from Texas. Business and pleasure were apparently the focus for the previous week of the ECF, and sort of crushed my spirit (what else can a girl say?) He spilled the entire rotten can of beans.
You’ll all be happy to know that I’m moving back to Brookline to an apartment with better furniture. Since I have tickets to game 7, tonight would mean sitting around packing boxes and watching the game alone, as said man is back traveling. Hmmmm- I think that you should take me. I promise to buy all the beers and hot dogs for the evening.
Oh, and one more thing- as fate may have it- today’s date is 6/17… game six on the 17th day, and possibly the hoisting of the 17th banner on a perfect June evening.
You bastards want to know what’s Decent? I’ll tell you what’s fucking decent. Decency is a hot carl on a warm august day. New England is Decent. Burt Reynolds stache, fucking decent. Staches in general are decent. Decency is giving your baby a Dutch oven in the morning. Decency is sex on the beach. The act, not the drink, which would be decent, if it had more booze and less juice or somehow involved the act. Decency is shotgunning a Bronson while getting an HJ from your giant gazoonged women.
I’ve heard vats of grease are decent. I wish I could attest to their decency, but I’m currently stuck in a phase where I incorporate different forms of stew (a.k.a. decency in a pot), which I’ve found to be a decently tasty addition to my ramped love making sessions, which by the way are decent. Slamming things can be very decent. Things such as bronsons,
broads, Jaeger bombs, bug juice and burgers. Most of these start with the letter B, which leads me to believe that the letter B is fucking decent. Bird also starts with B and so does Belichick. A wise man once told me that decency is a drink best served cold. I’m not sure what that means, but if that drink is beer, then I’m sold.
These rants are pathetic…In my day people partied like it’s 1992 and didn’t worry about silly things like killer tomatos, or the ecomony or “global warming”. Nope, we had real crap to worry about like wild chickens running running lose through the yard and monkeys who would through poo at you did but a ticket to thier one-legged sister’s tap dance show in the sqaure where the homless people would try to show you a good time by spliing ther $2 jug of vodka on you while smelling like cheese, not chedder, more like a munster,
Hey I go to rich, expensive, car-driving, sex having high school, but it’s lame everything’s lame. Give me a chubby girl who has to work hard for my affection over some drop dead sexy girl anyday. I’m not saying I’m a bad looking guy, but why not lock down a free piece for a compliment and a happy meal once and a while??? But no supersizing, I don’t love you that much baby.
Spelling/grammar checks would be decent.
craving is how i feel right now. i would do anything to go see the celtics play tonight. coming from a 30 year old girl who watched the original dream team celtics whoop butt.
but decency is getting a ticket and giving it to my dad who deserves to go. he works hard and is the the greatest guy in the world…at least to me.
I will give you $100 for the ticket. =)
What’s decent? Well, for starters, essentially giving away a ticket that could garner $500 on the open market. That’s decent. I hope that the good Karma for this act is able to overcome whatever circumstances are keeping your buddy from the game.
What else is decent? Paul Pierce. I don’t think decent begins to describe this guy. He’s been here 10 long years and been loyal almost to a fault. He got no love outside the previously small inner circle of true Celtic fans. He’s a true Celtic and the cities longest standing superstar. He carried the team for 9 years before getting some big help that has come up small in these finals. But he’s dragging KG’s body to this title kicking and screaming. He’s not letting it slip. The Lakers and their fans rested easily before game one thinking they had the best player on the floor for this series. Well, for these two weeks Paul Pierce has proven them wrong. For these two weeks, he’s been the best player in the world.
What would be decent is sitting there as I watch him FINALLY get the admiration he deserves from this city.
I am a huge celtics fan. HUGE. I unfortuanltely lost out on the tickets we had (we had 2 tickets between 4 people) to 2 Knicks fans who take every chance they get to rub it in my face. I would trade 3 super bowls and 2 world series for one NBA title. While this may be a Baseball town, I have always been a celtics fan, but now that they are finally good, all these people with too much corporate money come running in to buy all the seats and allow scalpers to jack the price up. Where were all the corporate peeps when Dino Radja and company were winning 30 games a year? Or when Greg Montrosse was roaming the middle? Anyway, I will sacrafice the abillity for me to get to the game if it means the Celtics are playing for a championship, if this goes down like it is supposed to it will be the best day of my life!
I would love to go, and in normla circumstance would even pay whatever it cost but I am gettin married on next and can’t spend the money at this pint in time. Weather I get the ticket or not this is a great idea and I applaud the your commitment to decency.
I was gonna sit here and try to write some rant on decency, but honestly, after reading the post by “One Tired Mom”, I think she definitely deserves the ticket more than I do. Not that it matters, but my vote goes to her.
When the Celtics last won it in 1986 it was during my high school graduation. I didn’t go to graduation because me an my family wanted to watch the game because we are the most Decent Celtics fans around. I have no regrets about not attending. I followed them though the hard times and the not just the good, because I am a Decent fan. I would wear green face paint, and dress in Celtics green because it is the Decent thing to do when going to a playoff game. I expect to see a game that is more than Decent tonight, Decent is not a good enough word for the Celtics. By the end of the night the Lakers will be considered only Decent and the Celtics will be Great, and Decent World Champions.
Go Celtics your better than decent
Decency would be to watch that smug Kobe lose this series tonight in the greatest sports town of the new millenium.
sick of everybody loving the Celtics and willing to die just to go to the game. Little prissy girls sleeping out in front of the garden for tickets, people selling their wife and sex for tickets. Come on this is crap I am the one that fought some punk ass wearing a Nate Robinson knicks jersey and rooted foor telfaor last season when he realized he couldn’t play in the d league.I have slept, eat and fucked Celtics for the past five years don’t give me a parade and girls wearing pink celetics jersey give me kobe going 2-15 in the garden and p pierce winning mvp honors and perkins playing tonite with one shoulder and sending gasol back to friggin Europe
Eff all the Celts fans selling to Laker fans-Sell me the ticket!!!
Announcing a winner so I no longer need to read the lousy rants being posted. I’ve got so IRATE reading over these anti-rants I almost forgot I was in the community’s site. Funny = Decent. Applying for Celtics tickets by provoking sympathy is not. Half these jokers are trying to milk this ticket out of you like a baby from a teat. C’s are sick.
Decent. The art of being good, but not excellent. With the C’s on the verge of winning the NBA title I find it hard and almost impossible to describe them as “decent”. Decency is middle of the road, you are doing well, but never really going beyond. So why ask for decent? This is a rant about decency, but with an impending championship looming for the C’s (knock on wood) I am begging for fans to wish for more than decent. I want to see the Big 3 and the supporting (yet All Stars in my heart) to play with the fire and passion they are capable of. I want them to play like they are 24 down in all 4 quarters, thats better then decent, thats just extraordinary. I may not be decent for this, but I am more than willing and excited to watch Kobe and the Lakers watch in disbelief as the C’s hold up the trophey with the green and white confetti falling just to see a decent guy like Doc put a smile on his face. And you can count on me for dogs and brews to support the fact that I too am decent and thankful. Thanks for reading my decent rant.
Jeff Nelson
Well this is something else. I never thought I would see people in this day in age be so generous. I am not trying to kiss up either in fact I highly doubt I have a shot of winning because frankly I think decency is a very objective thing. I just wanted to say thank you for giving one person a chance to see this game. That is in fact one of the most decent things I have seen in awhile. Even though I probably am not the most disserving person for this prize I will throw my hat in the ring.
I think decency comes in many forms but really the heart of decency is how you treat your fellow man in everyday life. Decency is letting someone in front of you while you are driving. Its holding the door open for the person behind you. Its helping a mother get her kids stroller up on the curb. Its holding the elevator for the person sprinting toward. Decency is buying a homeless person a cup of coffee or giving them your leftovers when coming out of a restaurant, or whatever change you have in your pocket. Decency is helping your neighbor or friend move even when you really don’t want to. Decency is not littering and if you really wanted to be decent pick up a little bit of trash you see on the street everyday, keep your city clean. Decency is giving just a little bit to the red cross, $5 goes a long way. Decency is giving up your seat on the T to an older person or a woman. Chivalry is decent not dead. Decency is calling your parents everyday just to say hi. If your at a bar and you see someone who is in the military buy them a beer and say thanks. Decency is taking time out of your day to do one nice thing for someone. If you see money on the ground always ask people around if they may have dropped it, 9-10 if they did they will let you keep it for being honest. Decency is giving someone a chance they may not have had before.
I could go on with this but I think you understand that decency to me is respecting your fellow man. In the world today when so many people worry about me first, a small amount of caring can go a very long way! A small deed like you are doing can make someone happier than you can imagine. Try it. Next time you walk buy a homeless man or woman don’t just offer them money but buy them a drink or some food from 7-11. Not only will it make their day but it will make yours too!
GO CELTICS!! GREEN 17!!
I am writing in for my husband. He is the most decent guy. He has been a Celtics fan all of his life (not just on the band wagon). He works 2 jobs and never complains. He coaches both basketball and soccer for our 4 kids. His birthday was yesterday and since I am not currently working I wasn’t able to get him a birthday or fathers day gift…….this would be a dream come true for him….a man who truly deserves such joy. Plus he’s a blast to hang out with so you would have a lot of fun. PLEASE PICK ME!!!!

Also sorry about the double post and the bad spelling I am at work and was trying to do four things at once. GO CELTICS!
bryan c - while you may have remanined a fan over the past 5 years while the celtics sucked, i am willing to bet that you neither slept, eat nor fucked them, while they were so bad that they had to give away tickets to even fill half of the garden.
I vote for “looking for a new season ticket partner”, what a bastard he was to do what he did to her. Hope he burnt his tongue on that spicy texas slop… You go girl for walking out. I hope you win the ticket, and enjoy the game tonite. I would love to go to the game, (however, my boyfriend woud not appreciate it). So, we will indulge in chinese in front of the big screne. Hope you all get on TV tonite. I’ll be watching the news for your story’. Enjoy.
I agree w/ Bryan C and I am a girl..the only thing I would wear to the parade if they won would be my Celtics Starter Jacket from 3rd grade…
I like where his heads at.. he’ll make the most noise tonight and that’s what we need… the fans playing their part.. have him promise to start some really fantastic chants and I say give him the seat!
Decency is staying home with my three sons and watching the game as they decided to do with me on Fathers Day….If the ticket was offered to me I would join you because my boys would want me to
Kevin,
Decency would have been watching Eric Montross roam the middle, not Greg.
Come on buddy, do you even want the ticket….
Lets bring the level of decency up a notch. I want to see you at the game!
I tell you what’s not decent… The prices these modern day robbers are charging people to see a game make history for the Celtics that have busted their tails. These fair weather fans are disgusting and making a buck off of loyal fans from the beginning.
Decency is selling your spare ticket at face value. Dramatically marking up ticket prices so that only the elite can attend the most important games of the season is anything but decent.
I did my best to get to the last few Phish shows, but so many people did exactly what so many Celtics ticket holders are doing now - buy tickets just for the sake of reselling them at a profit. Everyone loses here because the crowds at these shows became yuppier and yuppier. Decency in ticket sales is a win win.
Speaking of which, get ready for a win and championship No. 17 on the 17th!
EFF A man named Carl from Framingham!!!
Go Celts!!!
pick Andrea. She, and her hubby, sound so decent.
by the way David, you are a genius.
