At least we agree about Fox. Sorry about McDonald's.
Maybe if I went there more often I would spell it correctly....
Not exactly my idea of food but that's another topic.
Only semi-fast food restaurant I like is Bertucci's.
I hope you realize my "attack" on NECN getting better
when you left was not a serious remark.
I was trying to demonstrate how easy it is for someone
to go for the throat. That doesn't accomplish anything.
Please accept my apology if you took it seriously.
I would have no facts to make such a judgment nor you about me.
Finally, I am not saying that I agree
with the idea of suing NESN over chew tobacco
but noting only that in this
litigious society anything is quite possible.
Should have mentioned in the previous posts
that I think Remy and Orsino (sp?) are
fun to listen to.
Or if you are part of the grammar police:
... I think listening to Remy and Orsino is fun.
( No sentence should end with a preposition.)
Remy is properly irreverent and jaded.
It is a wonder the Sox allow him
to speak as honestly as he does.
Watch the bubble gum.
I am sure there is something unhealthy about that too.
Peace
