As I’ve mentioned before, I’m hoping the Good Time Emporium will open up in Natick, I’m still baffled by the Game Corner and under whelmed with the changes at Fun and Games. There just doesn’t seem to be anywhere to go spend some quarters, besides a laundromat. Well coincidentally, I was passing by Annie’s 1-stop laundry (I forget the address but it’s on 135 across from the Richardson Building) the other day I spotted a pinball machine and some video games in the window and made a little note to myself: “Check out Annie’s 1-stop”.
Ethan, being the definition of a good sport, went with me to check it out. The video games were kind of lame, one was a shooting game called “Target Terror” and the other was a driving game that just didn’t look interesting, something about the key pad and making calls when you’re driving(?) was just off. But the real reason I wanted to go there was for the pinball machine.
It’s a Monopoly machine that wasn’t too great to play for some reason. The ball kept going straight down the middle where my flippers couldn’t reach and struck out pretty fast. Ethan gave it a go and while he played a bit longer than me, he also thought the game was kind of boring.
Not the best discovery but if anyone needs a pinball fix, I think this is the only machine around. If anyone knows of another one let me know.
Ethan and I were watching TV last week and in this show’s ending credits there was a guy named Maurice, I forget his last name but I thought “That’s a name I never hear of, I’ve never even known anyone named Maurice.” Unless I counted “Maurice the Pants Man” and even then, I didn’t know him, just the name of the store.
It was weird to remember that, I asked Ethan if he remembered that store, he said no and I moved on to thinking about something else.
The next day I found myself waiting in the lobby of an office building and looking through some books that were out on the table. I found one about metrowest, opened it up and on the first page I opened to I saw this:
Upon closer inspection I saw this:
Maurice the freakin’ Pants Man!!!
When I got home I immediately told Ethan about how weird it is that I hadn’t thought about Maurice the Pants Man in forever and then I did, and then the next day I randomly see the sign in a book. I said that HAS to mean something. Ethan, being the more rational of the two of us, thought it was a little weird but that was all. I kept saying “No , it must mean something, don’t you think??” Finally, knowing the only answer that would satisfy me, he gave up and said “I guess that means he’s coming back then”.
I realize M the PM most likely is not coming back and I probably wouldn’t care that much if he did but I thought it should mean something. Weird coincidence anyway.
I don’t know Tony, but like an artist signing a finished masterpiece, he autographed the Ruby Tuesday’s parking lot with his pavement-crack sealing skills. I think it’s great he takes such pride in his work, looks like he did a good job and I’ll keep my eyes open to his future work. Nice job Tony!
I was looking around on ebay and saw a listing for a “Framingham Series” Kohler sink. It must be a mistake since I searched the Kohler website and found nothing about a Framingham series. ivermectin cattle malaria va tech I thought it was kind of funny though.
I got a kick out of the Framingham Cooperative Bank’s ATM buttons sounding like Frogger (when Froggie jumps). I guess I’d have to say I was more amused here than at my last and final visit (since they’re dead to me) at Fun and Games.
Incase anyone is wondering, no, my PIN isn’t 123456 : )
From google I found a link to the site “Urban Dictionary” that has a discussion between high school kids (I’m assuming they’re high school kids) about Framingham.
I don’t really know what to say about these posts but I guess they speak for themselves. Some interesting reading from kids’ view of Framingham anyway.
Although the 400 Plus does not deliver, one of us will sometimes walk over a pizza to Maenzo’s barbershop since it’s in the same plaza. Thursday night is band practice where Tony (the owner) and his guys set up their stuff and play all sorts of music, though it seems they concentrate on rock ‘n roll stuff. para que sirve ivermectina en gotas
The band doesn’t really have an official name and they don’t go on tour or anything but they have a great time getting together Thursday nights and they sounded great. If I didn’t deliver a pizza there, I’d never guess this goes on in the quiet corner of the Franklin St. (sad) plaza. Just something interesting I thought I’d point. ivermectina para perros ml
Also, the band is looking for back up singers, a keyboardist and a bass player so if you’re interested, head over to 444 Franklin St. give children ivermectin? or give Tony a call at the shop: 508-872-1778
