In the local paper of the town 'snipe and I grew up in there contains an avenue of dialogue for both the timid and the boisterous. The venue is known as 'Thumbs up or Thumbs down?'. A typical thumbs up might be some schmuck-parent praising his/her shitty kid for getting good grades. A typical thumbs down is some shmuck-parent complaining about his/her shitty kid's playing time in a recreational/school sport. For whatever reason, (nostalgia, homesickness), I enjoy reading the "paper" online from time to time. And, for whatever reason, this months thumbs up/down were hilarious. The editor must've loosened up because I never remember them being this good...
this one made me laugh the most:
"
Thumbs Down: Who's the Mook driving around with the 'Brooklyn' vanity plate? Do you realize you live in New England, proud home of the Sox and Pats? Geesh, talk about a turd in a punch bowl...I bet you're the guy I see at Market Basket with the Yankees hat on. Go back to the Jersey Shores with the rest of those Choochs."
