Yesterday, all five Boston Ave roomies played hoops down at Dugger Park. As is the routine, the kids at the court watch us play for a little while, decide that we're not good, then challenge us to a game. The first game was pretty close, but we won, no thanks to me. I realized that it was not my day for shooting, so I spent the second game dishing the ball to Brendan and Mike, and we won that one, too. They even brought in a guy who was not only fast and stong, but about 5 inches taller than anyone on our team. If we hadn't won, all of their mocking of our super-white names and use of man and dude would have stung a little worse. As it was, we left the park undefeated with maybe a little more respect from the playground crowd.

Oh, what do we have here?

Dear Brian,

I think you should post embarrassing photos of Jeremy...and hot photos of you all tanned.

Mr. Woods,

Unfortunately, Jeremy has yet to turn over these embarassing yet highly entertaining photos. As for "hot photos" of me "all tanned", try this on for size...

I listen to the radio for about an hour a day, and I have noticed that many of the same commercials are played over and over. Some of them I can sit through, but others are so annoying that I have to change the station right away. One of the more annoying ads is for Uno's Chicago Bar & Grill, where comedian Jimmy Tingle tells a completely unfunny story about trying to get a slice of pizza at Uno's, while a laugh track plays in the background. A few weeks ago, I was telling John Demaske about this terrible commercial while we were walking through Davis Square. Suddenly, a guy approaches in the opposite direction, sprinting down the sidewalk. It was Jimmy Tingle. I didn't actually recognize him, but a few people I was with positively identified the subject of my complaints. I guess it would have been more awkward if he had just walked by and overheard me talking trash about his commercial. I should mention that Jimmy Tingle owns a theatre in Davis Square, which definitely increases the odds of this encounter, but to be talking about him as he runs by is as unlikely as talking about how hot Natalie Portman is at the very moment we ran into her at the ATM in Harvard Square. Very unlikely indeed.

On a more positive note, one series of commercials that I do enjoy is the new Sobe Lean ads featuring "Freddy" and "Millie". It sort of reminds me of a female version of Irfan's Manny Ramirez impersonation. Plus, it utilizes the word "undawears", which is comedy gold.

I will leave you with the most poetic comment ever to be posted on the MesteeBlogger:

Tiger, Tiger burning bright
Why must your sweet words incite
The Mestee's mortal blog to ply
a trade in photo'ed deviltry?
