The Sandbox Recap 11.3.09 by Eric the Intern
Bah weep, Boston! Info Burrito in 101.7 Seconds  Mayor Menino is running for a fifth (!!!) term in today's Boston mayoral election. Get out and vote today! The Sandbox fully supports the Flaherty ticket, in case you were wondering who to vote for...The Wiggles are in Worcester this week...Brace yourselves, I don't know if the world is ready for this: Caffeinated beef jerky! Perky Jerky has hit the market... Supermodel/Hottest woman alive Giselle Bundchen is close to getting her helicopter license... Chase Utley's two home runs keep Philly alive in the World Series, they're down 3-2 against the Yanks and heading back to the Bronx for game 6... Happy Birthday to Dennis Miller... Tufts University has dethroned Boston College as the most expensive school in Mass... Fletcher Reviews: New Music 
Halford, Winter Songs - If you don't know who Rob Halford is, you shouldn't listen to the Sandbox. But what gives? The former lead singer of Judas Priest singing Christmas songs? Hmm... Rating: B&I, Bondage and Irony
Hell Rell, Hell Up In The Bronx (above) - In addition to some incoherent sampling, the production is spotty and nobody can figure what the hell anybody on this album is trying to say.
Morrissey, Swords - An album of B-Sides, but honestly, it sounds better than so much of the crap that's out today. Morrissey's still got it, people!
Greg Proops  You know him from Who's Line Is It Anyway...he's not the tall skinny one, he's not the short bald one, and he's not Wayne Brady. Greg is the host of the Science Channel game show Head Games, but claims that reading off of a teleprompter is really tough work. He's also the voice of Bob the Builder, so he has quite a nice following among the pre-adolescent crowd. While he was on the phone, he tested the Sandbox with a couple of Head Games questions, and needless to say, they didn't get too many of them right... Qdoba Mega Robo Thunder Phone Query 
The T has been in the news quite a bit lately because of all of those perverted gropers. This publicity has sparked a lot of discussion about all of the weird, sketchy happenings on the T. So we ask you...which T line is the sketchiest? An overwhelming number of you have officially dubbed the Orange Line the sketchiest of all T lines, with the Red Line coming in a distant second... we'd love to hear these stories in real time from you Sandboxers. If you're riding the T, and witness something incredibly odd, be sure to call 781-595-1017 and leave us a message about it! Andy Ference  Bruins defenseman and Sandbox regular Andy Ference called into the Sandbox tonight. Andy is in Detroit, and we can barely hear him over the rampant gunfire that plagues the city. We wonder if the team issues the players kevlar armor when they go to Detroit. A major criticism that the Bruins have received is that they can't string back to back wins together. Andy says that they just aren't scoring enough, even though they have the chances. Ed asks if Andy's shots either aren't accurate or hit hard enough - ouch! Maybe Ed will step in front of a Ference shot one day. Pop Trash  Smoking has been banned indoors in the state of Rhode Island... unless you're Kevin Spacey. He was out dining with friends at an upscale restaurant, and an incident led to a waiter, Peter Turner, getting fired. This happened back in June, but Turner is now speaking out about it. Someone in Spacey's party was smoking, and after Turner repeatedly asked them to stop at the request of his manager, Spacey called Turner "an aggressive prick". Turner was fired (or as the management put it, laid off) a few days later. So is this a case of Kevin Spacey being a dick? Probably, but the management is at fault here! You're firing someone for doing what they were told to do! A listener, who was on a plane with Spacey, phoned in to comment on how much of a jerk he was....but then, somebody else called in to say he was the nicest guy ever. Lots of conflicting views...interesting... Today's Game: Are You Smarter Than A Baby?  Callers had to guess which FNX song was being played as a child's lullaby without lyrics. It's not as easy as it seems, it took quite a long time for someone to guess correctly. Congratulations to Erin from New Hampshire, who correctly guessed Coldplay's Clocks. She won herself a pair of Metric tickets! Important! The Sandbox wants to remind you to GET OUT AND VOTE in Boston's mayoral election today - Go Flaherty/Yoon!
