MArooned: It's A Major Award!

For those of you that have stumbled onto my blog for whatever reason, be it from clicking the "Next Blog" link at the top of the page, accidentally clicked onto a link from the odd google search, or I actually have readers and am not just babbling into cyberspace, please check out this post over @ MArooned. JayG over there puts up a good mix of politics, gunny news, some cool gun pr0n, and my personal favorite, runs a tally that he affectionately refers to as the Dead Goblin Count(DGC). Basically a tally of successful, legal self-defense shootings that result in one less member of the criminal element. While his blog is a strong recommendation for anyone looking for information on various firearms topics, it is a must-read for the entertainment value alone(especially for anyone in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, or as JayG puts it, the VolksRepublic)

MArooned: It's A Major Award!
The Red Sox won tonight’s game, finally reaching the .500 mark.
Just got home from going out with a friend and his fiancee. If you haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy that which is Buffalo Wild Wings in Saugus, MA (Rte 1 South, in the Kmart Plaza) I could not recommend it enough. The atmosphere is well above average for the area. In most places, they MIGHT have had the Red Sox-Yankees game, the Vancouver-Sharks game, and the Heat-Bulls game. Good luck getting a good view of more than one without torquing your neck. Both the number of TVs present, as well as their placement allows for a good view of all three of the games on (Audio was on for the Sox, and was surprisingly high enough you could actually hear the announcers). The food was of a considerably higher quality than our former Sunday night spot, Hooters in Saugus, for about 20-30% less money. Combine that, the superior service, and the fact that Buffalo Wild Wings is opening a location in Danvers, I don’t give Hooters more than another year or two before business dries up. It is kind of hard for it not too. After a while, the “appeal” wears off, and people, given a competitor with superior service and prices, will vote with their wallets and go elsewhere.
