I don't pronounce my R's.

I think 6 inches of snow is a "dusting." I ride on the T.
I always 'bang a left' as soon as the light turns green, and oncoming traffic always expects it.

To me, any place west of Rte. 128 is the boonies & Cape Cod is a little piece of Heaven.
I am a Bostonian and I'm WICKED proud of it.
