All we'll say about the Controversy of the Century is this: we hope everyone's making it to the Wednesday meeting on time. OK. Good enough? more ›

Do you like to run? Do you like to run shirtless? Do you like to run in the middle of the road? If you're Craig O'Brien, you like all of these things, and it's gotten you banned from Portsmouth, NH. O'Brien, an avid runner who does 8 miles most days and has been running for at least a decade, was recently banned from the streets of Portsmouth after several run-ins with police, cars, and pedestrians. Portsmouth cops allege that O'Brien has been a disruptive presence in town, running in the street, blocking traffic, and swearing at passersby—even, at times, calling them "sissy." O'Brien contends that the "communist" police are harassing him for no reason, and a Portsmouth resident credits him for always thoughtfully feeding a crippled goose in her yard. Whether he's a threaning jogger or goldhearted goose-feeder, one thing is for sure: O'Brien should be arrested for having an indecently awesome mustache. more ›

Eddie Doyle is sorta Sam Malone, except somewhat older and endowed with a reasonably rad mustache. But even fine facial hair couldn't save him from this economy: the longtime Cheers bartender has been laid off like millions of other Americans. The sixty-something Doyle had been at Cheers for almost 35 years and was known for holding charity events at the bar, where he also met his wife. Everyone laments the loss, but an insider speculates that Doyle's longevity may have made him too costly for the company. When you can hire college students who've never seen Cheers to pour beers for a quarter of the price, the value of knowing everybody's name pales a little bit—but at the same time, that's what makes a bar worth going to. It's a loss for the community, but we hope Doyle's smiling face will still be seen around town. And if he needs a new job, maybe he can go into moustache consultation. more ›

A woman named Helyne (that's pronounced "Helen") is offering five cent moustache consultations on flyers spotted throughout Cambridge. A Google search revealed little, except that the elusive Helyne may have given a moustache consultation in exchange for a packet of matches and a guitar pick. more ›
