Boston was very shouty this week

Maybe it was the Orange Line, or the return of the heat, or just general Boston agita, but this week saw an explosion of Greater Boston-shouting woman memes. Here are some:
SO YOU ALWAYS KINDA KNEW YOUR TRAIN COULD CATCH ON FIRE BUT THEN IT GOT REALLY BAD AND A GUY GOT DRAGGED TO DEATH AND ESCALATORS REVERSED AND A WOMAN JUMPED INTO THE MYSTIC AND BAM NOW THEY'RE SHUTTING DOWN A WHOLE LINE FOR A WHOLE MONTH JUST AS SCHOOL'S STARTING AND MOVING DAY— pic.twitter.com/gIuFz680QW

I KNOW IT SOUNDS FUNNY BUT IT WAS 2 MILLION GALLONS OF MOLASSES RIPPING DOWN THE STREET AT 35MPH!! 25 FEET HIGH! IT’S HONESTLY LUCKY ONLY 21 PEOPLE DIED. THE HARBOR WAS BROWN FOR MONTHS. SLOW AS MOLASSES?? I DONT THINK SO! pic.twitter.com/xZ5sIlZ5aR

SOUTHIE IS SOUTH BOSTON, NOT THE SOUTH END, WHICH IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SOUTH SHORE GENERALLY REFERS TO CITIES AND TOWNS SOUTH OF BOSTON UNTIL YOU HIT THE CAPE. SOUTH COAST REFERS TO CITIES AND TOWNS THAT ARE SOUTH OF THE SOUTH SHORE BUT NOT ON THE CAPE @universalhub pic.twitter.com/Qa6L4NACxB

SO THERE’S THIS TOWN OUTSIDE OF BOSTON CALLED NORTHBORO. WESTBORO IS DIRECTLY SOUTH OF NORTHBORO AND SOUTHBORO IS TO THE EAST OF NORTHBORO AND WESTBORO. AND THEN THERE’S MIDDLEBORO WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR DRIVE FROM ALL OF THEM. pic.twitter.com/wlNjVikHoM

IT’S CALLED THE GOVERNOR’S COUNCIL AND THERE ARE 8 COUNCILORS AND THEIR DISTRICTS ARE BIGGER THAN CONGRESSIONAL SEATS AND IT’S SPELLED “COUNCILLORS” ON YOUR BALLOT AND THEY APPROVE OR REJECT STATE JUDGES AND PAROLE BOARD MEMBERS #mapoli pic.twitter.com/nae6vnTL2H

Best part of this meme
...is the woman was actually singing.

Just wait till Lippy the Lion
Just wait till Lippy the Lion catches up with you.
Aha
Finally the meme I need for when I try to explain getting to Egleston Square from anywhere south of the city.
YOU TAKE WASHINGTON STREET NORTH FROM ROSLINDALE TILL FOREST HILLS, THEN YOU TURN RIGHT ON NEW WASHINGTON FOR A BIT, THEN TURN LEFT ONTO WASHINGTON STREET. NO, DON'T JUST GO STRAIGHT ON WASHINGTON, OR YOU'LL BE ON SOUTH STREET, YOU'VE GOT TO TURN RIGHT ON NEW WASHINGTON THEN IMMEDIATELY TURN LEFT ON WASHINGTON AGAIN. NO THEY'RE NOT THE SAME WASHINGTON. OR MAYBE THEY ARE, I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN SURE, TO BE TOTALLY HONEST. THEY'RE BOTH DIFFERENT WASHINGTON STREETS THAN THE ONE DOWNTOWN, IS ALL I KNOW.
Actually
Since I'm not bound by the laws of Twitter, I can go full Grandpa-Simpson-telling-stories on this.
THEY'RE BOTH DIFFERENT WASHINGTON STREETS THAN THE ONE DOWNTOWN, IS ALL I KNOW. FOR A WHILE THERE, A LOT OF MAP SOFTWARE GOT CONFUSED BY HAVING LOTS OF STREETS NAMED THE SAME THING IN THE SAME CITY, SO YOU'D SOMETIMES GET REALLY CONFUSED TOURISTS WANDERING AROUND NEAR DOYLE'S LOOKING FOR ALL THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS THAT THEIR PHONES ASSURED THEM WERE RIGHT THERE, SO HOW COME WE CAN'T SEE THE GIANT CATHEDRAL ANYWHERE? AND ONE TIME SOMEONE PULLED OVER TO ASK ME DIRECTIONS WHEN I WAS WALKING ON BOYLSTON STREET IN JP, WHICH IS ALSO NOT THE SAME BOYLSTON STREET AS THE ONE DOWNTOWN, BUT THIS GUY GOT REALLY HUFFY WHEN I TOLD HIM HE WAS LIKE 4 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, AS THOUGH IT WAS MY FAULT THAT THIS WHOLE TOWN IS JUST COWPATHS THEY PAVED OVER AND NAMED AFTER THE SAME EIGHT WHITE GUYS FROM THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.
