Revere Finishing School? Finishing what, exactly? (Feel free not to reply, as discretion may indeed be the better part of valour.)

BC

revere is one of the local mafia hang-out towns.... lots of teased hair.... and tight slacks and pants.... italian is the primary language.. guns are not for decoration...

they often spend their summers in billerica

Good thing I'm fluent in Italian!

BC

you are not a revere girl!! among other things you have to have a very loud voice, and its not for opera

So can you tell us what it is for, Bob?

Lcuy, my advice is to tread carefully here.

Bob, I've been to Revere Beach before...Kelly's is located there, after all, but in the blazing hot summer of '88, they would not serve chowder because it was so hot the dairy component of the soup was curdling!!

BC

ONe goes to Kelly's for the fried clams, not the chowda. By the end of any meal from Kelly's, your hands are supposed to ne dripping with grease.

Don't forget the roast beef sandwiches and the fries. I got a painful sunburn at Revere Beach on the one exposed part of my body on which I'd neglected to put any sunblock---the side of my neck!

BC

you are correct it is the roast beef sandwiches, not the clams....so much for a cambridge interpertation

They are both excellent reasons to visit Kelly's (and, not long thereafter, one or more medical specialists -- cardio, GI, psych).

Rizzuto, cardio & GI references I understand, but psych???

Hey, I already come out to Boston to see one specialist anyway, so what would two more be in effort on my part?

Bob, my last name is so plebeian, I'd certainly not expect Gpanda to understand the wares my relatives sell.....

BC

psych: because you would have to be crazy to eat that chazzerai.

Rizzuto, my distant relatives (presuming they are, as we share a surname) are not purveyors of pig slop!

BC

The definition of chazzerai that you found seems a bit severe to me. The thing about Yiddish expressions is that even seemingly pejorative ones can be used affectionately. But we have digressed.

If we hadn't digressed, how would I know I'm on the right thread????

BC

BC,

Glad to hear you'll now be attending! That's great news.

First of all, every single yiddish expression has become perjorative. If there isn't a slight element of judgement intended, it's not uttered.

Great news BC. Looking forward to seeing you again! Looking forward to seeing all of you!!!!!

Just invited Evelyne from Montreal to the BOS GTG, and her husband, as we were just now eating breakfast together at the Marriott Resort on the river in Bangkok. Evelyne gives her regrets, however, as there is a family gathering the same time. Maybe another time?

Carol (I'll still be there)

Oh, Carol, that's Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. (Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on what is the USA's Columbus Day.)

It's a shame she can't make it, it would have been nice to meet her.

And...<b>you'd</b> <i>better</i> be there, young lady!
