Bostonist has proven in recent weeks that we’re a big fan of the video available for time wasting on YouTube. With our fairly daily dose of something at least tangentially relevant to Boston and surrounding cities or the news that’s going on in the Hub we’ve been happy to exploit the resource that is YouTube.

Catty! She's country,...
