Last night’s epic Game 7 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins was simply one of the greatest events for any one city in recent memory. There are cities that love their sports, and then there are cities/fan bases that are bat$&@! crazy about them. Boston fans (note: the Pats are excluded from this because despite recent success, the Pats are third at best in the pecking order, and even then, most Bostonians would rather see a World Series, NBA or Stanley Cup championship over a Super Bowl) are amongst the most passionate, desolate and loyal fans of any out there, and given what happened at the Boston Marathon, Boston’s survival (after a 3-1 series lead collapse) was an awesome moment for a city that needed to exhale, and uses sports to breathe.

Pickles just not worth jail time
This Guy can’t stand ranch dressing. Nothing about it is appealing to me whatsoever. I can’t even begin to understand this country’s obsession with the vile sauce.
One time in college, the dining hall was offering buffalo chicken finger wraps: buffalo chicken fingers, wraps, lettuce and ranch dressing. Obviously, I care not for ranch, so I asked for a wrap with no ranch. The cafeteria worker smiled at me and then proceeded to squeeze out onto the wrap not just ranch, but extra ranch. Befuddled at the situation, I just took the wrap with a look of utter confusion on my face.
Tina Drouin probably would’ve been better off following my lead.
Cat attempts to tree entire NYC infrastructure
FDNY firefighters successfully rescued an NYPD officer and the cat who lured him up a tree to his demise.
The police officer ended up over 30 feet from the ground after falling for the cat’s cunning ruse. The fire department received a call at 2:40 about his situation, but fortunately used one of their ladder trucks to bring both officer and conspiring animal down.
Had they climbed up after the cat as well, then it would have been up to the National Guard to shoot the tree down. And if they climbed up after the FDNY, NYPD and the cat, then Mayor Bloomberg would be forced to call the White House for federal involvement. And who knows how much big government could have ended up in a tree in Queens?
Yes, if it weren’t for a ladder, a single cat could have brought — ahem — up our entire national defense network, enabling a mass takeover by the animals. Fortunately, the FDNY uses tools: the hallmark of human ingenuity and mastery over our animal foes.
A soaring performance
It’s no secret that the Obama administration has been eating away at our civil liberties for years, but this reaches a new level. Apparently, we’re no longer allowed to sing on planes.
A flight from Los Angeles to New York had to make an emergency stop in Kansas City, not because of a perceived threat on board, but because one passenger wouldn’t stop singing “I Will Always Love You.” We’re pretty sure that qualifies as free speech, even though it’s not technically speaking.
A federal air marshal, who was probably just tired of hearing her terrible voice, decided it he had had enough, and subdued the passenger. The plane then landed in Kansas City so that authorities could remove her from the plane. She was escorted off the plane, still singing.
If being annoying on a flight is now a crime, we’d like people who recline their seats all the way back put on death row.
