Was watching The Early Show on CBS on Saturday AM and they were doing a special on living past 100. As I listened to the show it seemed they created a laundry list of a secrets for a longer life that would be virtually impossible for any of us to follow with some of them even being contradictory.
Terrorist are to be tried at the scene of their crime and the talking heads are tossing the sanity of doing this around. Not to me as what strikes a cord is the years this trial will take. WTC has happened to our legal system that has turned the most simplistic of cases in a legal Bataan Death March? And this one will be far from simple. The conspirators will die of old age before this runs its course.
Middleboro may be three million in the fiscal hole and we have all heard that story before. Seems the Chicken Little approach is standard operating procedure over the years until some fiscal magic or hidden funds appear to lighten the burden. Always thought there was a certain degree of theatrics on the part of the previous TM on the issue. However, I suspect that Chicken Little has been plucked and served by The Colonel and that the town may be faced with a stark fiscal outlook.
Blogger Shark. When are you going to invite me into your private room? LMBAO!
Administration peeps have stopped using trickle down and have started using filtered down to describe stimulus impact. Can’t have that Reagan connection.
IMO Balloon Dad appears to lack some basic parenting skills and also lacks - totally - any common sense.
Prisoners get Swine Flu shots before health care workers and pregnant civilians. Illegals attempt to get a drivers license and in state tuition. Illegals may get dental coverage under Mass Health. Thank you to all the moonbats.
Does not impact me directly but it appears this current administration has not seen a tax it does not like for the “rich.”
Saw a display by the Society of Mayflower Descendents at the Heritage Day and I found it like bragging you had a relative that was a guard at Dachau or your distant relatives owned a 300 slave plantation in Mississippi. Native Americans have an entirely different perspective.
A Stoughton police sergeant convicted of extortion is attempting to grab 113K in back pay including pay for hours he spent in court defending himself. I can now understand why Sgt. David Cohen and extortion seem to be interchangeable.

WTC is going on! This is no fun anymore. None of BB's past anonymous bloggers that have so much to offer are posting on his blog.
What is a third rate d*psh*t to do now?
************
We can look forward to his "World Tour" at least. If no one knows who I am, I will be "in the front row" with my friend Mr. Baseball -- Bob Uker (AKA Bogo) He has connections in high places.
Last I heard we will be doing karaoke. I carry a mean tune in Z flat.
Will this concert be on Comcast? They put on those worthless wrestling fools so why not this?
I am also fed up with the illegals but it seems to be a situation that is without a solution.
I can see where Bozo will get you guys a seat. You both will be sitting on the curb. LMCAO!
Suo what is your take on this new town manager?
He is excellent -- I firmly believe that. The TM job is very difficult, as it is impossible to please everyone. There will always be something for naysayers -- it is the nature of the position. Charlie is a poised man that rises above things and is very cerebral in making decisions. He is very good at delegating and not micro managing. Most importly he is very strong in municipal finance.
He has quickly adjusted to Middleboro's positive culture -- I am serious.
He has the breadth of knowledge required to run a town and is willing to put in the requisite time. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Cristello.
Yes I am a major fan.
I am not going to start commenting on town employees any further.
I am quite disappointed with the AMC series The Prisoner. Loved the one from 1967 but this one is plain dull.
We can let Jessie comment on town employees and I believe she all ready has on the TM. Same old if I recall.....recall....unintentional pun.
Bogo I see you copycatted BB's scholarly lead and copyrighted your website. Good move.
Just remember that you cannot lift pictures from BB's site, but it is ok for him to lift stuff from yours.
If you take any pictures from his site I will rat you out.
I have to be carefull and make sure I follow the lead of the self proclaimed greatest blog in Middleboro.
I applaud the decision that the new DPW manager made regarding unaccepted streets. This is an issue on which a decision has to me made that is consistent for all but not the rush job that went out. Work it out in the spring.
Seems counter does not work. It's the thought that counts.
IMO the new TM is in a difficult position with a big budget crunch, a BOS that seems to be in shambles, changes in department heads and now the prospect of an override. Thankless position that just seems to Clark off too many people.
That counter is strange as anyone can set it and it will continue to appear for what time they have it set for. For each it will be different. Anyways it will soon be gone.
BS (how appropriate) has opened up his site again.
People are rushing to the defense of the new DPW director on the "no plw" issue without knowing all the facts - and if there IS anyone who knows all the facts on this, God bless them. This is what I posted in the Nemasket forum:
This issue is nowhere near as straightforward as it might sound - and the DPW director is beginning to figure it out, since he noted Monday night that the list of "private roads" is "dynamic" - meaning the current lists aren't even accurate. Woloski Park, for instance, is listed as a street that's sanded and plowed regularly, but it is not.
The DPW director and town counsel (who ought to know better) make it sound like "private roads" and "unaccepted streets" are interchangeable terms. They are not, and when pressed town counsel admitted that. Some unaccepted roads are nevertheless public roads - River's Edge Drive, which is on the list not to be plowed, is a perfect example, obviously a public road. Dan Murray admitted it a case could be made for some of the streets on the "no plow" list being public ways.
What they didn't talk about are all the roads that are routinely plowed and maintained by the town, even though they have never been accepted by the town, because they are obviously public roads, some of the main roads in town or at least sections of them. They are in county or state layouts.
The point is this is a real can of worms that there was no compelling reason to open, especially right before winter sets in.
"No plow," that is - sorry.
I realize the inconsistency on this issue as some streets have been plowed forever and others are not. I also cannot imagine why this issue was brought up as late fall has set in. This should be examined and a policy established but when spring is here.
I am concerned that the town will be obligated to maintain the streets or bring them up to standards and that will cost. I believe that issue was presented by Brian G.
Now some of the roads seem to be in excellent condition and others are nothing but a collection of pot holes.
Jane it is nice to see you posting here as I know you have in the past. I don't belong to the exclusive club of which you speak. LMCAO!
There are roads in Mboro that obviously have been used as carpet bombing practice by B-52's.
After a street has been plowed for decades I would expect the process to continue and not a sudden surprise pulled. Seems like there were folks at the meeting the other night have been paying their taxes and receiving limited services and now are expected to dig deep at the last moment to get the problem resolved. I liked Steve’s approach of plowing after four inches of snow.
I can also understand the problem now faced with providing services that some may not be entitled to receive especially with a limited budget. I would also expect a suit to follow and I understand a former member of the BOS is possibly contemplating that route with other taxpayers. Hope there are no dogs on the mentioned streets as there goes the client base. This could be as dividing an issue as the casino.
Many different issues apply to different roads. River's Edge is an easy one IMO. In addition to having recveived public services for many years, it is the fault of the town/Planning Board that road is not complete. Too much surety was released and the town was unable to finish the project with the remaining funds. It is a policy that has since been changed. That said, there is never a guarantee that a true subdivision will assured town acceptance (though they always are)
Many of the other roads are very complicated, but have been plowed and received trash pick up at the house. As a Member of the Board of Health (i.e. a selectman) I would not want all residents to have to deposit their trash at the end of the road. It would quickly become a feeding spot for coyotes and unsanitary.
If residents have been receiving town plowing and trash pick up they every reason to expect it will continue.
Over the years town counsel has rendered many different opinions on this issue. Katrina drive is a prime example. Additional "Form A" lots (house lots) were allowed to built because the developer proved it was maintained by the town.
I also question how much it actually costs to plow these roads. All of the snow plows are already mobilized and driving by the roads.
Sometimes legal opinions and what is correct for a community can be at odds. That is why there are often home rule petitions -- one will hopefully be coming in the future regarding IMAs as I have previously commented.
I would also question whether, on further reflection, town counsel would have an opinion closer to those he has offered in the past. Seems to me that our esteemed walk-off selectman would have a tougher time pressing a lawsuit on behalf of those who have been "injured" by policies allowing "private roads" to be plowed than would residents of, say Gibbs Road who could argue that since the town has plowed, sanded and minimally maintained the road for years and that it is the main access to a semi-public camp it has by prescription become a public way.
I had forgotten the details about River's Edge - and the residents are taking steps to get their road accepted anyway - but I'm sure there are others still in limbo. If one of the solutions is to accept the law Dan Murray talked about, we should do that.
I agree the cost of plowing these roads is probably minimal in the scheme of things.
You get the services for years you expect it and no policy seems to exist except one that is exclusionary in that some get it and some don't. It impacts me so it is personal. I can't imagine this being rejected at Town Meeting .
In the meantime the recent mammogram issue is to me a precursor of what one may expect with national health care. I can see the value in requiring all to be insured and I can certainly understand the need for portability but I can also see how fraud is rampant in government programs as they now exist.
I cannot imagine the degree of fraud that will take place with a government run program. You need a small army of auditors now and auditors to audit the auditors. A Madoff is even low end compared to what now exists. What concerns me is my own self interest and I think that when the government opens the door on this I'll end up with less coverage.
Open the door is a truism to me when discussing government programs. Just a simple program can end up being expanded exponentially which is why I am surprised by the reticence of some moonbats in passing legislation as it now stands. They will eventually get their way and a lot more as the program is expanded.
Howard,
A Lawyer can't lie right?
That would be wrong correct?
Then people.. start asking the questions of Howard..
I think you mean lawyers can't tell the truth.
The law is not about right or wrong -- it is about interpretation of the law.
BTW I loved how BB wrote in the Gazzette "if I were on the Finance Committee......"
Get on the finance committee.
If I recall correctly didn't he have that opportunity?
He did have the opportunity.
He actually received more votes than he thinks. I just never bothered to make commentary. It has to do with how all the votes are counted in all the precincts.
I suspect our concerted efforts for this April will be successful. He has now become a local celebrity.
This year we plan doing campaign signs.
Al Franken is proof anyone can be elected
Proof anyone can be elected? I give you Jessie Powell! LMCAO!
Middleboro people hate whiners and proclaimed experts and BS artists. That is a key reason Jessie why was never elected.
Middleboro is still deeply rooted in the proud tradition of Swamp Yankees.
******Another thought on snow******
There is nothing in New England that brings neighbors together as quickly and deeply as a heavy snow storm. We all help each other dig out of the mess.
So true on the snow. Neighbor is older than Bogo and fatter than Bumpkin and we pitch in to help him.
***BB & Flat Iron Review***
Bogo, I, and three wonderful women (who dared to be seen with us) all went to the Flat Iron for an evening of food, music and companionship.
We arrived at 7:30 PM to find a "reserved" sign placed atop our table – we received special treatment. The restaurant was in typical pristine and clean condition. Service was prompt, with a fine selection of specials. We all ate off of the menu.
Two orders of steak tips, vegetable stir fry, baked haddock, and liver and onions (hard to find for those with such a proclivity.)
While waiting for our meal we enjoyed the comfortable and fun atmosphere comprised of many locals. As we chatted we listened to a half hour of BB singing a song called “Check 1, 2, 3 check, check” I had not heard the extended version of the song before, but it was a nice prelude.
During the waiting time Bogo brought out the “Clark The Toothless Shark” book. It was fun to actually see our investment in future of the Middleboro library -- though we may donate it to the historical commission. My wife looked at the book, and was naturally suspicious. The lovely Cynthia asked if there was some peculiar significance to the book. I told her to ask our companion Jane about the book. Jane explained and my wife (who has a social filter and far more class than I) shot me dinner dinners darts. Bogo and I were good little eighth graders and put the book away.
Our dinner came just before BB started playing. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. My haddock was cook to perfection and a very clean taste. The baked potato had a crispy skin, much better than the usual soft skinned baked potatoes served at some eateries.
BB started strumming and picking on the guitar. I not a musician, am a real fan of the acoustic guitar, and enjoy virtually any level of ability. BB played melodic music that was easy on the ear. The notes were crisp and well placed. The volume was pleasing and allowed for conversation. His guitar skills sounded very good to this non-musician.
I give BB extra points for singing. He was clearly and understandably a little nervous and cannot sing as well as he can play. He stayed well within the limits of what his vocal chords allowed. He sang just loud enough to accompany and accentuate his guitar. Any louder and it would have been like Bob Dylan singing while having a root canal.
We had a great night out. The food and music were very good and the company even better.
Good going BB. It was a truly a solid performance. You do much better with music than commentary on town government.
*******
Note of disappointment: As his biggest fan I wish he came over and sat down with me. I was eagerly waiting for a chance to have my picture taken with him and to get an autograph. I even had a sharpie ready.
Being extremely shy and self conscience, I could not muster the will to overcome my fear and approach the man on the World Tour for the coveted autograph. I have resolved to go to Auckland, NZ when he plays there and ask.
Where did the begining of this snow removal issue come from?
Anyone know who brought it to light at this time?
Didn't someone say you were a "bad writer," Suo? Great review and a very good show.
As far as the snow plow issue it was brought to the attention of the BOS by new DPW commander Andrew Bagas.
For years some got the service and others did not, so when examining the budget I am sure this popped right out as a possible cost savings. So that starts the ball rolling or the plow plowing or not plowing.
A former Selectman, Adam "See ya" Bond will possibly front a taxpayer suit over this issue.
Must of moved off the baby clinic..
Looks like BS (How Appropriate) has his site back to invitation only. BS is more confused than LL.
Hypothetical senario..
I just got a promotion in this anti casino organization. now My first order of business is to write to Pro Casino cheerleaders and tell them about casinos "Piping in oxygen" to keep people awake.. Now I know if I ever go to a public appearance. someone is going to ask me or the group I am a new director of where this information comes from?
Bogo, What would your response be?
I would just claim it is all part of Clark, CT.
One thing is to post/speak incorrect information as I have been guilty of it many times but is another thing not to correct it or have your peeps excuse it. Much of it can become urban legend. Makes you realize the lack of accountability that some organizations will tolerate for "the cause."
Now we all know Clark CT. Well.. is just full of "Crack" Ooops.. I'm sorry, I meant "full of crap"
serious how would I answer the "piping in oxygen" statement?
Their going to know OSHA would not allow this type of practice. seeing it could blow the 1.5 million dollar investment into casino oblivion. possibly killing thousands of people.
I would really put my new group in a real pickle by making these kind of non-factual statements.
most likly, me personally.. I would just say.. well.. I over heard it Hannafords while waiting in line.
Another licence fee, saltwater fishing.. just got signed into law.
I take one or two stripers a year. draggers clean the whole ocean out.
What a crock...
Taxes and fees Limo. Got to just love the way liberals think.
Everyone must already be sedated from L-Tryptophan
(BS)
"So what if he post pictures of a little child going on a field trip in the wilderness with him"
"Danger to woman and children"
Thats his 4 year old daughter your talking about...
Nuff said...
Seems like LL and BS (how appropriate) are having a spat. Say, LL, does that salt water license cover sharks? Battle of the turkeys?
WWBBD
What Would BB Do about this anonymous guy? Oh wait it is part of the party line so it is okay.
Bob Dunphy? LMBAO
I am missing something here? You guys are talking code like Limo.
Anon:
Clark The Toothless Shark (AKA BS & Blogger Shark) is so proud of his forum he takes no personal responsibility for the content. OK by me, as it is a source of amusement. One off BB's proud anonymous followers that generally have worthy input(so we are told) LMCAO
I have never seen a meter in a Mboro taxi.
Limo that is quite detailed and you give some reasons why small businesses are sometimes forced to look for ways to circumvent insurance and fees. You speak to small operators like my barber and see all the nickel and dime crap that they get nailed with to keep the government running. I can just imagine how this is magnified once you get beyond the mom and pop operations.
Enjoyable Thanksgiving for all.
Happy Thanksgiving all you third rate d*psh*ts!!! LMCAO
Bob Dunphy? Talk about a lightweight. LMCAO! He'd make a good BS since reading him on BB shows he is an expert on BS.
I have no idea who BS (how appropriate) is and it could even be Suo. Maybe BB? Maybe even Bratbird? If it is Bob Dunphy good luck to him for supporting a confirmed liar like Jessie Powell. That type of support speaks volumes for character.
I put another link on my sidebar regarding oxygen into casinos and that appears to be another urban legend that continues to be repeated so often it becomes a truth. Maybe there is validity to it but I have seen none. If there is I will glady remove it.
Nice addition to the sidebar. I wonder what the mayor thinks when she gets letters from kooks like Jessie?
You forgot this threat quote Party Bus.
"Take names off this site.. Today or their will be 50 sites with your name and your friends names 2 morro when you awake.. I promise you that.. don't believe me.. F@#king try me... you piece of s^&t...If you got something to say.. call the Middleboro or Raynham Police and report me... "
No edits.
Look familiar, you sent it. Threat from me? No, a warning.
Man up and take what you so eagerly dish out.
BB should play and sing Kumbaya to LL and BS
Great intro here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbL0rcvU7yI&feature=related
Blogger Pet,
I have that copied wasn't that a Johnny Jackpot who wrote that quote?
Didn't BB do something like that? Blame Suo for writing stuff he didn't write.
That could of been MQ.. Maybe! or Maybe not...
Please if you don't know whos doing what.. don't put names to your childish non-sense.
Time for Thunderdome for Toothless and Limo and I'll gladly take the role of Dr. Dealgood. "I know you two won't break the rules since there isn't any." Maybe JL could be Aunty? Suo would make a nice Ironbar.
http://www.topix.com/forum/boston/TJ83BCRFI7N6QJK3R
LOL! Is this you doing this?
No....not me. But I voted just now. I do not visit a Toxic other than Mboro unless I have a real specific interest. The Mboro Toxic I have not posted on for months.
Yeah BB did blame me. I guess Limo and I have similar writing styles. I thought it was great! It was the last straw that brought down his phony anonymous poster(s). Now look at his blog. It makes his forum look like the Superbowl.
Bogos your sidebar is wrong.
The whole controversy about pumping oxygen into casinos did in fact happen. There was an investigative exposé in the "Clark Enquirer." I just can't seem to recall who the reporter was.
I do believe that reporter parlayed his expose at the Clark Casino into a column at a local paper.
Suo the super bowl comment was classic. LOL..
...and never a disparaging word will be posted. That means party line is accepted. Agreement with mod is accepted. Got to love those that try to control and manage everything.
Things just get better department.
A second Clark The Toothless Shark book arrived today. This will now help reduce the wait time for those children and adults who wish to read the tantalizing story and enjoy the pull tab illustrations. I am hoping that we can get BS (how appropriate) to do an autograph session. I have contacted Saturday Night Live to see if we can acquire Chevy Chases’ old land shark costume for BS and will try and find a waterproof Sharpie. Hey, BS and Sharpie in the same sentence - bet that has never happened.
***Clark The Toothless Shark***
A Charitable Challenge
Hey Bogo:
I will put up 100 bucks (it's nothing) if you match me. We can donate the 200 bucks to Blogger Shark's preferred local charity if he/she signs the books. We will need proof and will maintain anonymity.
What should we require for inscription and/or autograph?
Good with me. I figure his/her name with Blogger Shark in quotes.
You can buy the Sharpie.
Alas my my Sharpie is still brand new, as it was not use last Saturday night. By coincidence it is "Shark Blue"
LMCAO!
Since you were rejected and ignored last Saturday maybe we should attempt to arrange a return engagement? Maybe a breakfast? Lunch or dinner? BB can always talk to JL or myself and ignore you.
I'm sure BB will have a concert schedule available and based on the success of the Flat Iron we should be able to either have a personal meal to quell your bitter disappointment or a backstage pass to the next performance.
He was good so it is worth it.
I am down with it. He could even invite Blogger Shark
Trevor,
Since Limo e-mailed "my friends" from his business e-mail address using the same wordage (without the intended profanity), it is most certainly him. No need to try and boost your own ego by thinking you know what you are talking about, cause you dont.
Looks like Limo has a PG version and a XXX version of emails.
Jessie never managed to collect that $1,000 did she Suo? LMBAO!
Hey Blogger Shark are you nothing but negative. C'mon get some of our money for charity. Just think you could help some people.
Break out of your shark brained world.
I will say who I am.
Bogo:
You are right she never did collect> But we were shunned for offering a 1,000 reward for Clark CT. Just think of all the positive things that could have been done with that cash.
Toothless will not collect on the charity money either.
CFO could have avoided the yard sale with that money. Maybe they could have hired LL to cart them home after the Grogfathers social? Maybe by a few chicken mallets? Get some dentures for BS. Plenty of good uses for that money.
(BS) can you tell us who your friends are?
Don't know but Jessie is still telling fibs.
Sorry just having a non-converstion with myself.
Careful on the posts, Trevor. Had to remove one that was questionable. Try not to use BS name when posting if you are not BS. When in doubt err on side of caution.
Jessie is certainly consistent.
Wonder if full of BS would give the $200 to The Green School?
Jessie is a laugh track. Can you imagine her telling everyone what to do on the gaming issue based on her own wonderful research? Does anyone speak to her about this? Do the rest of them just accept this garbage? I mean you can be against something but don't be stupid.
Howard's tree! Too funny.
"George Orwell"
Please stop sending me those e-mails.
I don't care who is doing what or what they did or what they are doing.
Read my lips I..DON'T..Care.
If BOGO or SUO have anything to say to me I can bet they have no problem saying it here. confronting me is no problem. never was.
http://www.topix.com/forum/boston/TJ83BCRFI7N6QJK3R
By the way I seen this yesterday. don't you think your all going just a little overboard?
Come on people.. We are supposed to be adults.
Impersonating others is so lame. We have all played in this and other sand boxes. It will never change.
My friends are all your enemies apparrently. Like I said before, they don't care what you think or care to comment. They have moved on and don't want to waste their time playing our games.
Reads like a fan club on Toxic of Boston. LL posted the link. Guess this represents the finest CFO has to offer - if it is. LMBAO!
"McNair is a hypocrite and a self proclaimed NIMBY. And, an enabler of the above named convicted felon."
"Andrews is a self absorbed dweeb with no real sence of the real world. It all seems to revolve around him. He will never admit he is the liar he is. He is also an enabler of the convicted felon and his failure to keep in step with 12 step."
I bet I was the only one that noticed the Lakeville ladder truck was conspicuously missing from the parade.
BS is correct on the posting manners as I had several that posted using my tag (Bogo) on Toxic until I signed up and that ended it.
On Toxic Boston folks are using names from my own to CP to LL and everyone in between.
I forgot about the parade until I tried to get through the 105/28 intersection. If the truck was at the parade then Mboro FD could follow behind it with fire extinguishers.
Speak up on the charity BS. Or are you "too lame" and just impersonate a shark?
"They have moved on and don't want to waste their time playing our games"
"our games"
Got that right (BS) nobody ever wanted to play your nasty filthy games. Its nasty people like you who started this game.
Hey why don't you run down to DSS and get a client so you to can accuse a person of gawking at him/her like your friend did.
Nice people you have hanging around you.
I don't have to play with you. Put your money where your mouth is and donate the cash.
I love the way you guys get a wad bunched up in your undies when I ignore you. What a laughing stock.
LMBAO!
