Their names? Julia Sghmbgmh.... And uh, Kristy. Look - They're from the Niagara Falls area so you wouldn't know them.
When I was there, Boston Magazine describe BC as a "J Crew Catalog with a Hangover." Apt.
MacGyver is a hit in any decade: it's timeless.
But I thought they liked her. Really, really liked her.
Your new job is with the DC Tourism Board, isn't it?
@Richard Lawson: This was the extent of an ex-Marine whom was at Thanksgiving dinner with my family gave for not repealing it: he needs to be comfortable in the shower knowing people aren't checking him out. That and "it worked just fine this whole time."
@BarkusMaximus: Swimming during lunch? You'll cramp up!
@Pop-Fop: As a current South Boston resident, I say don't worry: most of us are college educated "yuppies" now and the insular townies that you hate are steadily being priced out of the neighborhood, at the cost of a few smashed Audi windshields
I live in Boston and my girlfriend is in NYC. We both spend alot of time talking about moving back to the lovely Finger Lakes, thank you very much.
@skahammer: Manhattan Clam Chowder was actually popularized in Rhode Island by Portuguese immigrants. Apparently, it became known as Manhattan Clam Chowder as a derisive term by New Enlganders who didn't like the 'ethnic' dish. Because nothing good comes from Manhattan, in a true xenophobic New Englander's eyes.
@WookieCookies: To stay one step ahead of the gay rumors, duh.
@SaintPatricksYear: "Positive" stereotypes still promote marginalizing entire groups of people by painting them with a broad brush and not understanding them at an individual level.
"All Asians are good at math"
" All black people are fast and athletic"
"All Irish can drink alot of whiskey" (this is positive in mind as I'm of Irish descent and love whiskey).

I was at a meeting yesterday where a Facebook rep presented (ad sales and digital marketing). Someone asked him about the film. They have a boring prepared and canned line about how creative and wonderful Aaron Sorkin is at telling fiction, and then tell you to read "The Facebook Effect" if you want the non-fiction account.
He was also mildly annoyed that he was asked the question.

@skahammer: I never learned to spell it because I avoid it like the plague.
@Richard Lawson: That's what's wierd about all these Boston movies, I guess. It's "movie Boston" not "Boston Boston."
A real Boston movie would be about a bunch of beefed up yahdoods from Revere who come down to Faneuil Hall to get wicked drunk and start a fight at Ned Devine's. Cut to the out-of-towners going to the "authentic" Cheers and getting a "real New England meal" at Legal Seafoods.
Music montage of BU, BC and Emerson students on a shopping spree on Newbury with their parents money before treating themselves to JP Licks. All while wearing designer sweatpants.
And for good measure, a touching story showing a poor black woman trying to go from her home in Roxbury to her job in Brighton, and having to transfer on 3 buses and spend and hour and a half essentially going 8 miles because the public transpotation system completely ignores the entire southwestern part of the city that happens to be where the poorest people live.
All the while, we intersperse this with people lamenting about the sawx and how quee-ah Tom Brady's new haircut looks.

Richard, Southie is no longer gritty. It's full of condos owned by people we went to college with.
Yes, I am one of them.

@riotnotes: It was fresh in my head because Colbert riffed on Strangelove last night.
