#1 Fuck Harvard - go to MIT instead. I'm sure they're are as many kale restaurants in Kendall Square as they're are in Harvard Square.

#2 I was kicked out of the on-campus pub at MIT in 1992. I worked across the street from the camous and after work some of us would go to the pub. A young woman sitting near me said, "Are you from the south?" Dang! My accent gave me away. I said yess and she then asked me what state. I said Alabama. She then asked what I was doing here so I told her working for an engineering company designing and building an oil refinery in Jurong, Singapore. She then asked what school I had attended and I told her Auburn University. She said, "It must not be much of a school, I've never heard of it". I said, "We don't think much of MIT down there ya'll don't even have a football team". She called in to question my intelligence and the status of my parents when I was born and I compared her to a female dog. Her boyfriend stood up very fast, knocked over the table where they were sitting, spilled the beer, broke the glasses and pitcher, and they threw me out.

#3 Deacon, I suspect there must be other bars where you'd feel more comfortable. But, hey, work on that story and you just might have something...

#4 Better reasons then my several ejections from taverns (in youth). But, sadly yours doesn't sound fun at all. Yehah!

#5 chip outta the pile, on a tangent...

In Cambridge, our beans are artisanal,
All codfish organic and seasonal;
Here, hybrids work quicker
Than redneck corn likker
And students are always amenable.

#6 Also, I'd have bet my last buck that I couldn't be more disgusted with Boston City Hall (who could?), but I learned the other day (what I don't know about Boston would fill Boston) that the original design included a freakin' bierkeller. Okay, so it's not Scollay Square, but still... alternate autobiographical possibilities abound. Dammit.
