I’m already walking toward that pig slide that went viral, what other shenanigans should I experience in this town?
edit: apparently i’ve been spelling Boston wrong.
I’m stuck in Bostin for 12 hours, what should I do?
Learn how to spell it.
Learn how to not be a douche
I mean, realistically that’s mild compared to what some Bostonians would say if they saw them spell it that way.
I worked at a brain trauma ward in Boston. I was running a study there so I wasn’t really on the staff.
One of the patients was missing a portion of his skull. He’d tilt his head and it would slosh like a waterbed.
He told me he’d been hit in the head with a metal pipe by a stranger … during the celebrations after the Red Sox won some championship.
So that should give you an idea about what Boston is like.
The Museum of Science. The USS Constitution.
nice, i can walk there. google maps kept trying to make me take the ferry this morning from the airport but i eventually stumbled onto the blue line and got across.
Go yell obscenities at Paul Revere’s house for waking people up in the middle of the night.
These words are accepted!
Life before death!

Pahk the Ka in the havahd yahd
Is this not how they sound? My god father is from Boston and he really does have that accent. It was quite exotic as a kid; for some reason I thought he was from Australia.
Tours of Fenway Park are cool even if you don’t like baseball. Good food in the area, too. Go to tasty burger for lunch.
nice, i think baseball is nice in moderation. I’m wearing white socks, am i in danger?
Keep pointing it out to the tour guide, Im sure they’ll both love and appreciate the joke for the 10,000th time that day.
Pig slide?
I presume he means the big slide in the new playground at government center. Adults keep going down and getting tossed, a video of a cop doing it went viral this week: https://www.wwlp.com/news/viral-video-shows-boston-cop-injuring-himself-on-childrens-slide-but-others-have-previously-issued-warnings/
Ohhhhh. Ok that does look fun.
i didn’t get near those speeds, must need to have your boots licked or something
edit: i’m wearing all cotton, i do have nylon slacks and a polyester shirt in my bag, if i can find a place to change i can give it another go. there’s a zillion kids on it at the moment so maybe i’ll try again omw back to the blue line later.
Go apartment hunting and be amazed that Boston has the 2nd highest avg 1br rent in the country

yeah, going to shop a bit farther out and commute.
For clarification i’m seriously asking for suggestions, your responses don’t have to be serious though.
Get lunch and a pint at the cheers pub!
12 hours have gone by. What did you do, and would you do it again?
I had a great time, i eventually made it to the pig slide, it was neat but i have no idea how he got so fast. checked out the street markets near government center, that was fun. Some guy with a violin started following me around, i had my own soundtrack for a while, that was cool even though it sounded sad. Found the greenway, that place is pretty awesome. A lady slapped a cheap bracelet on me and bullied me to give her money. Checked out the freedom trail and got humbled. The park with the giant MLK arms had Shakespeare stuff going on, that was neat. Watched a street performer do a balancing act. There were cow statues…everywhere. I may need some elaboration on the cow statues. Tried to figure out if i should buy a 10 ride T pass or just pay as I go, panicked about getting stuck somewhere and ran away. i really wanted to get to the museum of science and the USS constitution but i started freaking out missing my flight so I got to the airport 3 hours early and everything went fine. Excited to come back here, thank you all for the suggestions.

You can edit titles on Lemmy, friend
Assuming you have to get from and to Logan to do your activities: leave any driving to Bostonians or it’ll be the worst 12 hours of your life.
If you’re a beer person, I highly recommend parking near Citizen Publick House.
Visit the exterior Cheers location.
