Boston.com --- Five people remain in intensive care today after lightning struck a tree yesterday and injured 10 people at a Dorchester soccer game.

The five men in intensive care range in age from 23 to 39 and include a man who was in cardiac arrest when emergency responders arrived at Franklin Field, said Boston EMS Chief Rich Serino.

At least one of the intensive care victims -- Cruz Garay -- is in critical condition, according to a spokeswoman for Boston Medical Center. A 13-year-old boy is in good condition at Children's Hospital in Boston. The names and conditions of the other victims have not been released.

The 10 spectators had sought refuge under a tree that was then struck by lightning during the thunderstorm that swept across the region.

Well I hate to be the one to say this, although I guess it’s okay because nobody died, but why the hell did everybody run under a tree in the middle of a thunderstorm?  I mean did they all start flying kites too?  I don’t get it, one of the first things everybody knows is not to eat the yellow snow and not to stand under a tree during a thunderstorm.  What am I missing here?  Anyway, I was out there yesterday too battling the elements... 

That’s right, me and a couple buddies were heading for the Brockton Foxy Lady when lightning (see right) knocked the power completely out from the local strip club and shut down the afternoon's entertainment. Of course you don’t hear anything about that on the news. Fortunately for everyone though, Club Alex's, whose backup generator runs on natural gas according to the doorman, was open for business just down the road.

PS - Gotta love the dollar dances.

This has to be the most laissez faire reaction in the history of fainting.  I mean by my count only 1 person in the entire place seemed to be remotely alarmed by this nose dive. Even his band members looked like they could give a shit less.   Listen I’m all for “the show must go on” but if I ever faint mid-blog I’d hope Manzo or Jerry would at least pause for a second to see if I was dead or not.

Dude keep it in your pants George. We all know Jennie Finch is hot. You don't have to fucking drool on her. Very unpresidential.

Listen nobody loves Audrina more than I do. Nobody. But having said that I'm just not feeling her boob here. It kind of looks like a droopy gross porn star boob or something. Am I the only one that feels this way? What happened to her nice NSFWperky tits?

LowellFolkFestival.com - Returning to downtown Lowell for the 22nd summer, the FREE Lowell Folk Festival brings a proud history of traditional folk music, ethnic foods, and crafts demonstrations that attract visitors from across the country. 

This is "awesome". But seriously The Lowell Folk Festival attracts visitors from across the country?    God I certainly hope not.  Because if it does than Lowell just surpassed Salem as the most disappointing place in the Universe to go for vacation.    Seriously I always feel bad when I see tourists walking around Salem.  It’s like what do you do after you got to the Witch Museum?Go to Brothers Deli for lunch and then take a tour of Jeff Juden’s old house and call it a trip?  

See this is what I'm talking about. The media is so focused on steroids and growth hormones that they've completely overlooked chicks who are getting boob jobs like they're going out of style. What happened to good old fashioned hard work? I'm sick and tired of everybody looking for the quick fix. You want bigger boobs? Use Easy Curves for 5 minutes a day and work that shit out. Because I'll take a chick with muscley boobs over fake books any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

This is my favorite commercial on television right now.   I guess it shouldn’t be that surprising.   After all, I’ve long maintained that if I made a movie the first guy I’d call to be in it would be Philip Baker Hall.  Guy is flat out comedy gold.  Everything he does makes me laugh.  Probably writes his own jokes too.

"That was Pulski!"

"Now that's how you hold a slider."

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- A 19-year-old man must make an apology to the city of Saratoga Springs for dressing as an inflatable 6-foot penis and then parading across SPAC's stage at the high school's graduation last month. Calvin Morett of 337 Pyramid Pine Estates must also pay to have the letter published in the Saratogian newspaper as part of a City Court sentence that calls for him to pay $95 in court fees and perform 24 hours of community service. Morett had previously pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, a violation. Morett purchased the full-body costume and sprayed some of the 5,000 people in the crowd with Silly String, police said.  Morett graduated from Saratoga Springs High School last year.

I’m sick and tired of these half asssed pranks.    I mean big deal.  You dressed up as an inflatable penis and shot silly string at people during a high school graduation.    Been there, done that.   You want to impress me?    How about escaping afterwards?    How about creating an air of mystery on who that penis guy was?    That’s the difference being ordinary and legendary.  These modern day streakers wouldn’t know showmanship if it slapped them in the dick no pun intended, but intended.   Makes me sad.  

Over the past couple months we’ve talked a lot about the Blond Mafia in Boston.    It’s been Julie Donaldson this and Heidi Watney that.   Well shame on us because lost in all this blond fanfare has been the arrival of Erin Hawksworth to Fox 25.    Like a stealth bomber Hawksworth flew into Boston in early April undetected by the Stool’s radar screen.    But now it’s time to give her the attention she deserves.    It’s time to rate Erin Hawksworth.    And yes I think she definitely deserves to be in the same conversation as the Big 3 (Tappen, Watney, Donaldson)

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a woman, the 20-year-old college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner. Pictures from the party showed him in a black-and-white striped shirt and an orange jumpsuit labeled "Jail Bird." Someone posted them on the social networking site Facebook. Above it, Sullivan rhetorically wrote, "Remorseful?" And that offered remarkable evidence for Jay Sullivan, the prosecutor handling Lipton's drunken-driving case. Sullivan used the pictures to paint Lipton as an unrepentant partier who lived it up while his victim recovered in the hospital. A judge agreed, calling the pictures depraved when sentencing Lipton to two years in prison.

What’s the big deal?   It’s not like the chick died in the car crash right?    And it wasn’t just like this was a random party either.  It was Halloween.   What was this kid supposed to do?  Not go?  Not dress as a jailbird?    Let the kid live already.   Seriously though I’m not sure any invention in the history of mankind has exposed the stupidity of America’s youth more than Myspace and Facebook.    Honestly it never ceases to amaze me what people put on their profiles and then complain about after the fact.     It’s almost like some people haven’t grasped the concept of the Internet yet.     Yes what you put online can be viewed by other people.  No you can’t sue entrepreneurial smut publishers who then exploit those photos for personal gain.

Can you believe this shit?   Honestly what was this chick thinking?   I mean hasn’t she seen the Rumble in the Jungle before?   I knew after two seconds of watching this that the dude was pulling a classic rope a dope.  He just let this chick punch herself out and then when she dropped the gloves he unloaded on her face.   She kind of has nobody to blame but herself for getting knocked out.

Boston.com - The man had stood out among the other passengers from the beginning. Craig Tornberg saw him smiling, acting strange. Then, suddenly, the man was running down the aisle naked. "He starts laughing," said Tornberg, general manager of the Revolution. "I'm thinking what's going on, is this a streaker? I've got to do something." Some 15 minutes after the man was ordered to put his clothes back on, he allegedly ran for the exit door in what seemed like a move to open it. The Revolution is used to holding down opponents. But this time the team faced something much more serious. "I react, and I grabbed the guy and pulled him away from the door," Tornberg, 53, said. "He's talking gibberish."  "They took swift action to safely subdue the individual and protect the aircraft and its passengers," said FBI spokesman Gary Johnson.

I guess when Boston teams aren’t winning world championships they’re off saving the world from terrorism.   Honestly my back is starting to hurt from carrying America on our back.   All I can say is that Al Qaeda should be thanking their lucky stars that it was the Revolution was on this plane instead of the Patriots.  Because I can guarantee you that if Bill Belichick got his hands on this naked terrorist not only would he have saved the plane but he would have found out where Osama Bin Laden was hiding in the process.   Still a great job by the Revolution.

Well this was inevitable. I mean you stick two attractive women together in Indy Car racing and obviously they're going to hate each other's guts. That's just the nature of pretty girls. Unfortunately for chicks everywhere, this sets back the women in sports movement like 100 years. Listen ladies everybody knows that you have two options in a cat fight. Either fight or strip. Anything less than that and you're just wasting everybody's time. I mean nobody is actually paying attention to you because you're good at your sport. So either give us what we want or don't waste our time. Towels to the face simply won't cut it. Worst cat fight ever. Who wants women in sports if this is all we're going to get?
