Everybody has them, I think.

So laundry day came and went and no laundry was done. Since laundry day I have not had the opportunity to toss in a few loads. This morning while preparing for work, one of my worst fears was realized -- I had no more clean underwear.

That may be a little more dramatic than what actually happened because I did have a few pairs left stashed in the back of the underwear drawer. These are seldom used for various reasons. Some may have a hole in them, some may not wear well.

Some, you wouldn't want to ever be seen in and we all know that the one day that you actually wear the leopard print speedo underwear is the day you get rushed into the hospital and you are the butt of the nurses jokes for a few years.

So I have a stash of reserve underwear which I dipped into today and it's been kind of awkward all day, so I asked my new neighbor at work (Chris) if he too had a stash of reserve underwear.

Shamed, he mentioned that occasionally he too misses laundry day and has to wear his "monkey pants".

2. Because you think Jared from subway is gay and you think John Lovits is following in his footsteps.

3. Because you never seen the inside of the living room and the tales of the bathroom are legendary.

4. Because this may be the last time that Boom Boom Corsini gets a little too into it and splits his hand open on his guitar getting blood all over it. That's fucking hardcore

5. Because I made this god damn list, that's why.

6. Because the reunion tour featuring King Mike's new replacement hip just "isin't the same"

7. Because you never saw DJ Thrill way back when he had hair on his head -- and now he's sporting a new sexxy beard.

8. Because you never know when you will hear the mustache song!

9. Because there going to go 'old school' on your ass. Migrane!

10. Because its close to Halloween and some saucy tart is going to dress up as a scantly clad nurse and she's going home with someone that isin't me.

11. Because reruns of lost is a sad excuse for a Saturday night, seriously awful.

12. Because SOC has been doing this shit for 14 fucking years. What do you do today that you did 14 years ago? No, making skidmarks in your underwear and picking your nose does not count.

13. Paulie P is playing bass again and Mike Lopes is on drumbs. Nuff said.

14. This quite possibly is the last time you will ever be able to fuck up the lyrics to "Beer for Every Man."

15. Because all of the proceeds will be donated to the Randy Hein Fund.

16. Because Shed is also playing their final show that night – so tears and sappy hugs will be free.

17. Because you have R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

In case you missed it, my brother gave me a "Mystery Box" about a month ago with the specific instruction not to open it until September 15th. On Sunday during the Patriots kickoff party at my house, my brother informed me that I could now open the infamous mystery box.

After ripping the box apart -- I found out that I am the proud new owner of a Jagermiester, time travel machine tap machine.

I received a phone call from my brother Joe last week claiming he had something for me and the next time I was in the Providence area, to swing by his apartment to pick it up. After an awesome long weekend on the Cape with Lisa I stopped by yesterday afternoon.

Upon arrival and bullshitting with him for a few minutes Joe pointed to a box which is about 3 feet tall, 1.3 feet wide and 2 feet long and claimed that it was the thing he had told me about.

I asked what it was and he pointed to the box and said read -- the box is clearly labeled that cannot be opened until September 15th.

After David Ortiz 2nd game winning swing this week, a question was posed on WEEI (local sports talk radio) which stumped me this morning, whom is more clutch? David Ortiz or Tom Brady?

Im sure there are great reasons for both and honestly how lucky we must be to have even a question like this to debate. Most fans would sacrifice body parts for one of these players on their favorite hometown team, we have them both (and many others)

I think Im leaning towards Tom Brady only because of the three championships (and regular season games) which were won on last minute, game winning drives where the point differential is less than 10 points.

In comparison the Sox have ONLY (SIC) won one championship but Ortiz is probably responsible for about 10% -15% of the regular season victories and 8 or 9 game winning swings.

But then you can note that every pass Brady throws is caught by a receiver in an equally clutch role. So does that diminish how clutch he is? He can make the perfect pass, but if it isnt caught it doesnt count whereas David does it all on his own.

On this most inauspicious of days (6/6/6) I decided that a little slice of Webster's religion is in order for yall.

A few weeks ago, I chatted online with a friend of mine whom I have not seen in a very long time. Since we had last seen each other (years) she had become, for lack of a better term, very religious. I would never have considered myself very religious at all but I am a confirmed catholic.

She was wondering how I was doing and we spent a few moments speaking about Grilled Cheese Religion and just life in general. We had worked together at Circuit City back when I was in college and she had seen some of the wilder days in my life^[1] and I guess she was worried for me.

After not saying too much here about the Red Sox for the first month and a half of the 2006 season and after taking the first full series pretty handily versus the Yankees its time for a 10 minute state of the nation address.
