WTF? That's like Charlie Baker saying he bollixed up the T or Kinopoopio saying cars serve some purpose.

Things like that don't happen in life.

I thought both were great, but I always would take a couple slices at Little Stevie's House of Pizza served by "Red" any day.
Gotta say, you just can't describe what the Rat and Kenmore Square were like to someone, definitely a moment in time like no other.
