How to tell if you're in a Boston dive bar

As I mentioned, my book is coming out soon. I was just doing some last minute lists and sidebars to flesh out some of the layout, and I asked a few of my friends to contribute. Not sure which of them I'll be able to squeeze in just yet, but this one from our man Walt made me guffaw, so here it is. Boston for life, kehd. Incidentally, he's having a comedy thing of some sort in April. I'll be there doing, well, not sure what I'll be doing. Sitting there anyway. Flyer after the jump.


How to tell if you're in a Boston dive bar

You overhear someone say:

“Put a few oxies in her and Denise is a total whore.”  (Almost always followed by "But she has heart of gold.")

“Cross my heart on that little retarded kid's giant head.”

The drink special is Tequiza and Peach Schnapps.

You leave smelling like cigarettes, despite the fact smoking was banned in 2003.

The glory holes in the bathroom have pictures of Yankees players taped around them.
“Yeah it's the original carpet, and we're never changing it because TEDDY FUCKING WILLIAMS TOOK A PISS RIGHT IN THAT CORNER!”

If I had a sock full of nickles for every time I heard that one, I'd have enough socks full of nickles to smash a lot of heads in.
