My buddy took me on a “pub crawl” in Glasgow for his 21st birthday drinking a pint for each year. This is where I learned walking, talking and projectile vomiting can all be done in quick succession and then carry on at Crème de la crème for some curry like nothing happened. 👀🍻
Boston born and bred here. The Scottish invasion has been a joy to watch. Thanks to them all for providing the lightheartedness all of Americans need in this moment. Much love!
Party hats for the statues to be included in the revelry. As long as they’re not vandalized (spray paint, damages) I say this should be the start of a tradition in Boston
The Scots are such big beer drinkers because weed is illegal there. But everywhere weed is legal, the next generation drinks way less beer than before, because the young people switch to edibles and smoking weed, since its less harsh on your body and generally cheaper than a night out at the bars.
The way I was able to remember it is the possessive pronouns “his” and “hers” do not have an apostrophe. The reason it is often written wrong is that possessive nouns do have an apostrophe. (Boston’s, Steve’s, the dog’s)
If ICE goes in for any reason it will be because the tartan army has a chant calling cheetoh a pedophile. It’s really catchy and pretty powerful when thousands of people chant it.
Red Sox organist reached out on social media. "What music should I play for the Scots who attend a ballgame?" They obliged, and have been turning up to 11 for the singalong. (Per NPR today)
Confirmed, was at the Tuesday Sox game. There were TONS of Scots there and both the organist and the music-picker were into it. They kept playing snippets of the Proclaimers and each time the Scots roared. I think they had almost no idea what was going on with the game but they were good sports about it. When "Yankees Suck" chants started (common at Fenway even when the Yankees aren't there) the Scots around us were like "FUCK THE YANKESS! ... (are we doing it right?)"

The most benign form of vandalism.

If these were the soccer fans from a more “brown” country ICE would be mobilizing and a state of national emergency would be declared.

it's not a good night unless you get a traffic cone

I for one welcome our new Scottish overlords.

If it wasn't all in fun, there would be a Dropkick Murphys song about it.

I don't see the most iconic Boston statue in this clip. I sure hope Bobby Orr has a cone on his head while flying through the air.

I feel like this is a term of endearment.

Why Australia music?

I was in Salem yesterday and there was a cone on a statue near where I saw a bunch of Scottish dudes. I suppose that might be what happened?
AngurProne
While I can't guarantee it, almost certainly.

As a Bostonian, thank you for this, Scots

I'm disappointed they haven't gotten the ducks or Bobby Orr yet, or at least they weren't included in this.

They got the ducks. Haven't seen Orr yet.

Oh god pls yes send ICE in against piss drunk Glaswegian football hooligans!

Omg yes finally something to believe in, make it so…

I’d be more excited but I just worry for them even being here.

They are having a blast in Boston. Seriously. And the whole city is loving them back.

This is fun and I love it ... but did this really get "progressively more chaotic?"
TsubakiTragic
catchy headlines are worth extra internet points. Having the host talk loud and frantic waving of hands is also worth gold stars.
PorneliusHubertII
Id say yhe one on the extremely tall monument was an escalation in chaos.
Kotarisu
Probably due to the increasing numbers at each location, and them remaining until daylight.

I'm in for mindless hooliganism
RoseHarmonic
Nah this is mindful-hooliganism. No damage and everyone's having a good time if they're not boring. Excellent.
LupusLilium
With a lead like that I half expected there to be a statue near the end just covered in dozens of cones. This wasn't really 'more chaotic'.

I guess a linear progression with a slope of 0 is still a kind of progression?
