I’m already walking toward that pig slide that went viral, what other shenanigans should I experience in this town?

edit: apparently i’ve been spelling Boston wrong.

    I worked at a brain trauma ward in Boston. I was running a study there so I wasn’t really on the staff.

    One of the patients was missing a portion of his skull. He’d tilt his head and it would slosh like a waterbed.

    He told me he’d been hit in the head with a metal pipe by a stranger … during the celebrations after the Red Sox won some championship.

    So that should give you an idea about what Boston is like.

      Oh my god that is so fucking awful.

      My friend had a friend, he was cycling down the road and somebody whacked him in the head with a bar. He suffered brain damage and succumbed to alcoholism and eventually suicide. This world sucks so bad.
