It implies that you're a near-illiterate douchebag whose head is so clouded with love for the Red Sox that you literally cannot form another thought. You're rowdy, impulsive, dumb, trashy.

The douchebag film representation doesn't reflect our perception, anyway. We always get the "rich snob" representation ourselves, when really, CT is mostly country/farms!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271939344105806967noreply@blogger.com
