Concert news: Morrissey has announced a May 27 date at the Orpheum. My “DAWG” John D must be giddy with joy over this announcement. Every time a bartender at Bardog gives John a couple of bucks to put in the jukebox, I know I’m about to hear some Smiths.
The Peabody Pastry Shop has Valentine’s Day ducks waiting for you.
From Bleacher Report: Russian curler Andrey Drozdov hits a bullseye – with his head. Ouch!
There’s a warning out from the FBI that the person you meet on social media and fall in love with may be a scammer. Sadly, this has happened to at least one of my Facebook friends. The person being scammed gets messages from an American working overseas whose profile matches her interests. The conversations get romantic and the scammer professes his love for the victim. He may even send flowers and gifts to her home address. They make plans to marry soon when he returns to the States. However, then a “tragedy” occurs in the scammer’s life, often a sick relative. He can’t afford to pay, and he asks the victim to send money. He may also ask her to forward packages and cash checks for him, and the victim willingly does so, not knowing that she is participating in the shipment of stolen goods and money laundering. If you get messages like this on Facebook or other social media, watch out.
Ladies, a tip for tonight: Nothing says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like a tube top. Outta here for Friday. I hope those of you who celebrate V-Day have a good one.
