See, now I think I'm conflating memories. The nightclubs (which just came to me) are Narcissus, Celebration and Lipstick. But I just looked those up and it looks like they were in Kenmore. So maybe the "Leominster, Fitchburg and Ayer" ad was something else.

Good question. I think there's a related question, which is at what point are you a dick for holding the door for someone who is too far away, because then you make them feel like they have to run or walk extra fast so as not to make you stand there like an idiot holding the door for half an hour.

I watched this today for the first time in a while. It's still awesome.

Whenever I hear someone say "Fitchburg" I think of a commercial that used to play on WEEI when I was growing up. I think it was for an ad for a nightclub or bar or something, and at the end, they'd always say "Leominster, Fitchburg and Ayer."

Sounds aboot right.

Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon, but I get annoyed by rituals like this that somehow become rote and mandatory. Another example: slapping your teammates five every single free throw. How about a little spontaneity and creativity? It loses all meaning if you are just going through the motions.

the raiders beat the chiefs who beat the chargers who beat the bills who beat the dolphins who beat the patriots who beat the bears who beat the niners who beat the cowboys who beat the rams who beat the seahawks who beat the broncos who beat the cardinals who beat the eagles who beat the giants who beat the texans…

"Parody" is the more accurate word when the Raiders are being discussed.

I couldn't do them, at least.

Well, he had years of practice playing mind games with, and intimidating his wife.

Did they know that you thought they were smug pricks? I mean, did you tell them that, or write it at the time?
