Sometimes in the North End there’s this fucker with a karaoke machine who decides to grace us all with his voice. When he decides to “entertain” the neighborhood he sounds like a dying moose or, at the very least, somebody with rocks in their mouth.
You can’t sing buddy so shut the fuck up!!!! We can hear you and we are four streets over! You got this shit set up in your yard and when you decide to turn on the speakers and microphone to “bellow” it is far less than graceful! It’s monotone and hard on the ears.
I’d hate to see what you look like. I don’t know why somebody hasn’t called the cops on you for disturbing the peace. —Where the hell are my ear plugs?

put another dime in the juke box baby! Or cut the power cord from it.
I know exactly who you’re talking about. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing him “sing” at Karaoke Night EVERY Wednesday! No one says anything though (he’s mentally disabled) but my god he’s destroyed some songs to the point where I just listen to the originals anymore.
Oddly enough my roommate and I were looking at apartments and we almost ended up taking the one above this guy. Luckily common sense prevailed
I have ,because of women in my life, had to suffer through more than one “howl & shreik show”
What used to completely boggle my mind is how some of these hosts would have the volume turned to STUN !
LOUDER IS NOT BETTER ,when the howling resembles the sounds that turn a female mooses thoughts turn to love !!!
Geez people. Relax and let the guy express his joy. This world is full of people too afraid to do their thing because of negative criticism. I think it’s endearing that this man sings his heart out. And yeah, maybe I’m not having to listen to it. But if I did live nearby, I’d cheer and clap.
i dig that guy! yeah he sounds pretty horrible, but he squeezes his eyes shut with joy and sings as loud as he pleases because he loves to be that way, and i admire his inhibition.
Yeah, and I squeeze my eyes shut when I choke one off ,,, doesn’t mean others have to be subjected to my joy,,,just sayin’ is all 😉
I live directly across the street from this guy. I’m pretty sure the dude has some mental issues. I’ve told so many of my friends about him but I don’t think they really believe me since I’ve never been able to catch him in the act when anyone’s around.
LMAO @ Koda…
Same thing when I have a real hard dump. Squeeze my eyes shut as it squeezes past my rrhoids. I don’t subject that to others nor do I express my joy publicly when it’s passed. Well, ‘cept for here now I guess. On the topic of here, I haven’t seen anything posted in the past few days… whatup? Guess “The Coast” LTWWB editors have lost their balls. Just sayin’… 🙂
or still lost power…
or it’s a long weekend…
could be a variety of things.
I mean, the coast is pretty fucking busy this time of year with all the back to school crap and the supersized print edition this week.
it’s not like they pay someone to solely watch this section and post asap.
tiddly-wink.
More masturbation and poop talk please. It is exciting.
Choke one out for me too!
you may as well be joey lawrence for all the insight you’ve brought.
