Woman Who Ripped Guy's Nutsack Off Gets a New Trial
LILLINGTON — Rebecca Dawson — the woman who is accused of partially castrating a man with her bare hands — has a new court date. Her retrial is scheduled to start Aug. 25... Dawson’s December 2007 trial ended in a deadlock after four women and eight men could not agree on a unanimous decision. Four jurors voted to acquit Dawson...
In December 2006, Dawson was charged with felony counts of malicious castration, assault with serious bodily injury, malicious conduct by a prisoner and misdemeanor injury to property after former Special Forces soldier Ken Russ was maimed at a Christmas party. During the last trial, Russ testified that an intoxicated Dawson sank her acrylic nails into his scrotum after he refused to let her drive home.
Dawson testified that she was defending herself from Russ, who had asked her to engage in a sex act with both him and his girlfriend Tanya “Niki” Castello... She said she had a grip on Russ’ scrotum, trying to defend herself, when he fell over a box and tore the skin.
At the risk of being accused of gender profiling, does anyone else care to guess which four jurors voted to acquit Dawson? As a guy who's very attached to his own testicles, I'm all for justice here, but a retrial is a complete waste of taxpayer's dollars. Until they get a jury that's 12 men or 12 women, this thing is a just another deadlock waiting to happen. The only chance the prosecution has would be if, during the empanelment, when they ask questions like "Are you more likely to believe a police officer?" or "Are you less likely to believe a minority defendant?" they added the question "Have you ever considered tearing a guy's ballbag off?" Because if they did, 100% of women would raise their hand. Even the meekest, most timid woman on Earth has either given it serious thought or at the very least given a "You go, Girl" to every story of where a chick has actually gone through with it. They can claim to hate violent movies, violent sports and even the Three Stooges, but for some reason they think separating a guy from his Wife's Best Friend is their goddamned birthright.
Is Miss Massachusetts a Liar?
MAY 18th 2008
Boston.com - What's your appearance schedule like? Can we expect to see you, say at Roxy or Rumors?
I do fashion events, parades, and benefits, but no bar events or anything that would compromise the crown. I have been asked to host events at different clubs, but being Miss Massachusetts is not being at a club all night long. I'm in bed at 10 at night.
JUNE 24th 2008
Inside Track - Miss Massachusetts Jacqueline Bruno poses with two contestants of the Miss Boston 2008 Model Search Competition, Christina Sylvia of Weymouth and Alida D’Angona of Bolton, at Felt Boston. The three-week competition is dedicated to finding the ultimate local beauty to be the face of Boston for 2008. The lucky winner will receive a trip to a tropical destination, a magazine spread in Stomp Fashion Magazine and a fashion shoot with fashion photog Stewart Smith.
Hmm, last time I check Felt was a Bar. It looks like the Million Dollar Man was right after all. Everybody does have a price. Anyway what’s with this bullshit Miss Boston competition? Shouldn’t Felt have needed to get my permission to run a contest like first? In fact I thought we automatically trademarked that Miss Boston slogan just by our very existence. But I’ll tell you what. Just because I’m in a good mood today we’ll let the winner of this thing enter one of our Smokeshow Brackets. Let’s see if they can make it out of the first round alive before we start throwing around titles like Miss Boston. Because in my book you ain’t Miss shit until you’ve beaten out the best of the best that the Stool has to offer. Although the girl on the right is cute.
What's The Deal With This Guy?
An eagle eyed reader sent in this photo today. What the fuck? Dude make up your fucking mind. You can't be a Yankees fan and a Celtics fan. Go root for the Knicks or something. The only possible explanation is that somebody put the Celtics sticker on his car without him knowing it and he's afraid to remove it because it will screw up the car or something. Although it's already pretty fucked up with the Yankee shit on there. Regardless, this happened to the Astrovan. Somebody put a "NY Sucks" sticker on it, but I was obviously cool with that. Bottom line is that it's tough to take anybody seriously at life when they have both Yankee and Celtic bumper stickers on their car.
Quote of the Day – Framingham Maintenance Man Cooks Crack Cocaine from a Spoon in Tenants Kitchen “Because He Can”
FRAMINGHAM — A maintenance man whom a woman reported smoking crack in her kitchen was arrested yesterday, police said. Jerome Prince, 39, of 24 St. Lo Road., Framingham, was arrested on charges of nighttime breaking and entering, said police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany. Shastany said a woman living at 157 Second St. told police she came home early on Friday and saw her building's utility man cooking crack cocaine in her sink. Police confronted Prince about the incident yesterday at about 9:30 a.m., and Prince first said he was unclogging a drain in the woman's apartment but later admitted to cooking crack cocaine from a spoon in her kitchen "because he could."
Because he can! It’s the perfect answer for any situation. Why was Mike Crotty talking trash in a coed basketball game? Because he can! Why are Boston fans so cocky and arrogant? Because we can! Why was the maintenance man cooking crack cocaine in this lady’s kitchen? Because he can!
Thank to Jeff for the tip
Both the Coreys Were Raped As Kids?
Corey & Corey
Uploaded by wutwutinthebutt
Both the Corey's were raped as teenagers?NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS - The Corey's have to be the only twosome on the planet who can have the following conversation;
Haim - "Where were you when your best friend raped me?
Feldman - Well where were you when I got raped?
On the bright side nobody can take Blown Away away from them. You know they both laid pipe to Nicole Eggert and that is worth getting raped a million times over.
Nomar Says He Has Slow Healing Genes
From the LA Daily News via SportsbyBrooks: Dodgers infielder Nomar Garciaparra said a genetic predisposition, one he didn't know he had until it was identified by a Boston physical therapist with whom he voluntarily consulted last week, is the reason his left-calf strain has been so long in healing. Garciaparra shut down a minor-league rehabilitation assignment after one game when he woke up Wednesday morning with more discomfort.
Garciaparra said the condition causes him to develop more scar tissue at the injury site than the average person, with that tissue limiting his flexibility and increasing the likelihood that he will aggravate the injury by playing on it.Garciaparra has been on the disabled list five times in his three seasons with the Dodgers with injuries to two different muscles and two different joints.
Well thank God that mystery has been solved. In spite of all the rumors of Nomar's injuries being caused by PED's or SMS (Steve McNair Syndrome), it was his really his DNA the whole time. Nomar can't help it; the Disabled List is in his blood. It's his heritage. So everyone who questioned his toughness or suggested he was dogging it that time in Yankee Stadium when he was sitting on his hands while Jeter was crashing into the stands is guilty of a hate crime. The sportwriters and 'EEI guys ought to count themselves lucky if he doesn't sue them for violating his civil rights.
EL PRES NOTE - People like Jerry Thornton can make fun of this all they want, but it explains a lot. Lesser men wouldn't even try to rehab when they are cursed with the slow rehab gene. It's a credit to how much Nomar loves the game and his work ethic that he continues to fight and battle to get back on the field where he belongs. The world just doesn't seem right when Nomar isn't on the ball field does it?
Boston Wins Yet Another Championship!
Masslive - A Chicopee man rocked the competition over the weekend in Las Vegas, beating more than 300 of the nation's finest "Rock Paper Scissors" players to earn a $50,000 first prize. Sean Sears, 23, of Leo Drive threw a winning rock to conquer his opponent's scissors to win the 2008 Bud Light/USA Rock Paper Scissors League Championship. His victory came in the event's third annual tournament, which will be aired Oct. 6 on ESPN. It took place Saturday and Sunday at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino. "Bud Light congratulates Sean," said Rick Leininger, a spokesman for Anheuser-Busch, adding that the championship "is all about competition, camaraderie, and most importantly, fun times."
Cue the Duckboats! Honestly what don’t we dominate at? Baseball, basketball, cup stacking, football and now Rock Paper Scissors. I guess when it’s your decade it’s your fucking decade. Seriously though what was that chick thinking who Sean beat in the finals. I just don’t get how you let rock beat you? That’s like letting Jordan beat you in his prime. Everybody knows that you need to make scissors and paper prove they can make some shots before you play man to man on rock.
Well looks like these shirts got outdated fast.....
Sure it does, Foxboro isn't exactly a Boston Subarb either.
Yeah, I think we've been over this before. Western Mass is a different state. Just ask them to say "not" and "cop"
"Sears, who majored in computer engineering in college, will now train for two months before taking part in the inaugural International Rock Paper Scissors Federation Championship to be held in Beijing, China, during the Summer Olympics."
I bet his training resembles that of Balboa in the Russian countryside preparing for Drago...
Foxboro isn't western mass. Besides the Pats used to play in Boston, so they are grandfathered in.
missed that event...was it on "the OCHO"
Have any of you assclowns seen a map lately? Our state is pretty fucking small. Anywhere in the state counts as Boston. If you are going to divide MA up into 2 pieces, you are going to have to divide up other states into dozens of pieces. Kind of stupid, dont ya think?
I agree SamBgood. If the kid had lost....we wouldn't have counted him from Boston though ahah. Cuz we don't lose.
SamB,
Amen, hell both the NY Jets and NY Giants play in Jersey.
not everywhere in the state counts as Boston...I hate this shit, you meet someone, ask where theyre from, and they say "boston"..."oh, what part?"..."newton"...please!!! If youre not from the city, youre not from Boston. Say youre from "Outside of Boston" its not that hard.
The distance of 1.5 hours away by car from a major city (Boston to Chicopee), is considered a suburb in most states (NY, CA, TX, NJ, CO, IL etc.). TJLuke, have you ever been to another state?
ok...so a town like, say, Hyannis...thats a suburb of Boston? its only about 1 hour & 10 mins away.
Trust me, western mass is another fucking world, I'm from Pittsfield, only about 10 miles from NY, too many fucking yankee fans around.
We need an official ruling on this. If I'm out of state somewhere I like to say I'm from Boston. Saying I live outside of Boston is tru but it won't help get you laid. Girl's dig title town usa
Dotrat518 = the truth
Thats like saying San Diego is the same as Los Angeles.. They are only an hour and a half apart. They have these signs out here that say CITY LIMITS.. we normally go off that.
quit reaching
Im not trying to be a dickhead...but when its opportune, people say theyre from Boston, but then the same people wouldnt really live here becuase they dont wanna be around the crime, traffic, etc of the city. It just pisses me off.
not really poop. We have one major city. all sports teams are from there regardless of where they play. Pats. If you're from MA you're boston, end of story.
hugeballz...deception for the purpose of getting laid grants immunity from the "where are you from rules"
As far as where poeple say they're from when I went to school at Michigan I was from Boston. Around here I'm from Swampscott. It's just whether people will recognize the hometown.
Trust me, western mass is another fucking world, I'm from Pittsfield, only about 10 miles from NY, too many fucking yankee fans around.

Amen. MASS should be split like Virginia...Massachusetts and West Massachusetts.
I went to school in western mass and it sucked big time. If you are from springfield you are from springfield. Not Boston or outside boston or eastern mass!! I hate this shit. And don't compare Mass. to other big states.
ok...so a town like, say, Hyannis...thats a suburb of Boston? its only about 1 hour & 10 mins away.
— DotRat518, Jun 24 2008, 11:39 am
Absolutely not, by Massachusetts standards. I am not trying to argue that Chicopee is a suburb of Boston. In other states that are much larger maybe it would but not here in MA. But I am saying relative to other states, 1.5 hour drive from a city makes you close enough to associate yourself with that city's team. I do think people from Chicopee or other W. Mass towns can maintain that the Pats, Celts, Sox, B's are their "home team." That's all. But I guess if you've only lived in this small state, Chicopee seems like a world away.
Official Ruling- Anyone who lives east of 495 is from Boston. Anyone who lives west of 495 to Worcester is from Central Mass, and anyone from Exit 8 on the Pike to the NY border is Western Mass.
As for the Cape peeps - they are island folk who just visit the mainland from time to time...
relative to sports teams... anywhere in MA is Boston..however the plan for MA was 3 major cities...Boston..Worcester..Springfield...just didn't work out well
if you lived in downtown boston, say the back bay, for 8 years and now you live in a suburb, say newton - for what amounts to 2 years. can you say you are from boston still or do you have to preface it with a "used to be"
Because Boston is the only city in our state with a pro team, it cannot be compared to cali etc.. our entire state is associated with Boston when it comes to sports... exception: BC
all those western mass people are incestious, braindead, no teeth having hillbillies that all root for the yankees and hate on eastern mass all day
I went to school in Western Mass and it was amazing. I witnessed the red sox riots at my college(zoomass) first hand. I saw a kid pencil dive off of a dining hall and break both his legs during it...I got shot with pepper spray bullets...pee'd on the deans car...tipped and lit a car on fire...and had sex with many drunken girls.
No one questioning your hometown team if you are from western mass, but don't fucking say you are from Boston when you live in Springfield or Worcester.
u da man
I also spent 4 years in Western Mass. and I can assure you that it is a different state. Different radio stations, different accents, just different.
There was a Pats playoff game that I had to go to a bar and watch on DirectTV because the LOCAL Fox station was from Hartford and was picking up the Giants game. There is absolutely no way you can qualify that as Boston.
I don't get why people say they are from Boston when they are not, either. Everyone roots for Boston Teams but if asked by outsiders people should say they are from Massachusetts. Boston is Boston, Newton is Newton and Chicopee is East Bum Fuck.
I think it's lame.. claim where your from.
WMASS blows because all you deal with is second fucking homeowners from NY, yankee fans and giant fans. I could name countless bars that are "Yankee" or "Giants" bars, they even have fucking NEON "NY" signs hanging in the windows. It's actually pathetic. Although it seemed that when the Celtic's were on their tirade eveyone instantley became a huge fan. I don't get it. No loyalty around here.
I disagree pres, but I understand...Im sure in passing or just meeting someone you told them you were from Boston, but I bet all your friends in Michigan knew you were from the North Shore.
Im not saying that people from Pepperell shouldnt root for the Celts, Pats, Sox, etc
NTown, thats impossible. If it was a playoff game, it was shown nationally. not to mention different networks show different conferences.
rooting for a team and claiming where you live are two completely different topics. I wonder when the people in east mass put Boston on there mail for the return address.
mark
If you LIVED in the back bay for 8 years, then youre not from Boston. You are just a Yuppie who just used to live here.
In springfield they will show regular season Giants games and Jets Games over a Pats game if there was a scheduling conflict.
In other words Western Mass sucks!!
TJLuke - they do have Six Flags man...that Superman coaster is sick, lol...
(went to Westfield State for 4 years...western mass is DEF not boston..its like its old lil world...truth)
I met a chick in Cancun once and she said she was from Boston. I asked what party and she said, "well actually, I'm from New Hampshire". Gotta draw the line somewhere...
If your local cop car says Boston Police, you're from Boston. Case closed.
Agreed DotRat76
If Menino aint youre mayor, you aint from here.
Glad im not the only one that feels that way. Way to break it down Dotrat so everyone can understand.
Six Flags is overrated and dangerous. Do have any idea how many people have died or got seriously injured at that Six Flags in Agawam (Not Springfield).
wait a second, are we debating the safety of six flags? what the fuck, i would rather do work....nerds
Chicopee still counts as our area. Pittsfield does not. Once you get more than a few miles west beyond 91, I would consider that Yankee country.
Mack Dime,
Spend any time at the Whip?

If your local cop car says Boston Police, you're from Boston. Case closed.

Thanks to the DotRat's, END OF DISCUSSION!!
agreed. im from quincy and regardless of where i am, i tell people quincy mass. if asked to elaborate, "oh its the first city sout hof boston. I may be able to piss and hit neponset, but i live in quincy, not boston.
NTown - Whip City Brew, right off the highway?? Fo SHO!!!!! Place is decent..know a couple of the waitresses who work(ed) there..i was more of a City Limits (until some kid got killed there the yr after i left) or Davio's (which became some other stupid name) kinda guy...
Side note for Western Mass peeps - Paper City brewery in holyoke is the SHIZZ-NIT-O-BAM-SNIP-SNAP-SNAPPA - its like $4 on Friday nights to go up in this old brewery loft, they give you a glass and its all you can drink beer from 6-9pm, plus when you leave they give you a 6-er for the road!
so if i was born in boston, grew up in boston, went to boston schools but have lived outside of boston for 25 years i can say I AM from boston
but if i moved to boston as a nineteen year old and have lived here ever since I AM NOT from boston?
i'm so confused.
one NBA/WWE title equals a decade of dominance?
wait... wait..
There are TWO DotRats?
:
Like " The Coreys"?
i live in western mass. yea we have the douchebags that root for the yankees....yea we have shitty tv channels out of new york...but i've never heard anyone here claim they're from boston...most people get annoyed when someone says "oh you're from boston?" the second you say you're from mass.
if that crowd had been in the garden for game 6 the celts might have won by 60..where do you get a shirt?

Reader Email: Is It Rude To Fuck At A Concert?
Reader Email
Prez,
- Mumbles Menino
I wonder what security said to this couple? Probably something simple like "Hey quit fucking" right? Anyway this is in fact the 2nd email we got of a couple doing the dirty bird at a concert. Although the first time it was just a chick getting finger blasted on the lawn at Great Woods and who hasn't done that? Regardless this got me to thinking whether it's rude to fuck at a concert. Personally I think it depends on the show. I'm not sure Dave Matthews is really a fucking type of affair. Definitely not a 10 minute lay. I mean if you're going to bang a chick during Satellite at least make it quick. Unless of course the chick is hot. Hot chicks can fuck all day long in public as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately it's my experience that the uglier the chick the more likely it is that they are the ones getting violated.
(Love the dudes acting like they're not paying attention. Give me a break. You know a chick is getting finger blasted two feet away from you. Don't fucking play stupid.)
A Day Late....George Carlin RIP
George Carlin is one of those rare performers who you liked even though he was thoroughly unlikeable. He was angry, irascible and bitter. He was a hardcore, counter-culture hippy even as a multi-millionaire 70 year old. He was also brilliant, funny and so original he never had to change his approach, even though he was on top for close to 50 years. Which isn't to say he repeated himself; he updated his material constantly. But his point of view was the same: he found the sacred cows, slaughtered them, ate them, and sucked the marrow from their bones. Only the cows changed, he never did. For the generation who came after the Baby Boomers, your older brother's Carlin albums were the first exposure you had to dirty comedy and if you memorized the bits you were a school lunch room/ recess legend. A fact that made it really strange to deal with when your kids were watching Carlin play Conductor on Thomas the Tank Engine. Too bad, Carlin had a lot more good comedy left in him. And what's Mike Barnicle gonna do for material now?
Congrats. But Chicopee is nowhere near Boston. Western Mass doesn't count.
