How to: Get Laid In Boston

Boston

Ballsy, right? Just who am I to give advice on how to get laid in Beantown?

If I can follow these ridiculous tips (without taking them too seriously) and increase my chances of following a hot-enough Bostonian to her BoSox-adorned apartment, so can you.

Have I ever tried these personally? Of course not - but that shouldn’t stop you from reading and being slightly entertained. And isn’t that the point, to read one story a day that makes you go, “Oh…ok. That was marginally fun. That was pretty good, I guess - I think. It wasn’t great by any means, but I didn’t hate it, either. I don’t care about it enough to hate it. Grade: C-” Read More »

COED Presents: Fun with Genetics!

see_through_fish

The next level of genetic engineering is upon us. In a not-so-groundbreaking anouncement, researchers at the Children’s Hospital in Boston bred zebrafish with transparent bodies in a bid to better understand how diseases spread. Zebrafish are genetically similar to humans in many ways. Scientists hope the see-through fish will help them identify what triggers certain cancers to metastasize.

The transparent fish, described in the Feb. 7 issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell, are allowing researchers at Children’s Hospital Boston to directly view fish’s internal organs and observe processes such as tumor growth in real-time in living organisms.

Zebrafish are genetically similar to humans in many ways and serve as good models for human biology and disease. Traditionally, researchers have relied on information collected after the diseased animal died to infer anything about human ailments. But for rapidly changing processes such as cancer, this snapshot method is bound to miss something. “It’s like taking a photograph when you need a video,” said White, also an instructor of medicine at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

Learn How to Get Laid in NYC

paul jankaPaul Janka claims to have written the book on having sex in NYC - and he actually has. It’s called Getting Laid in NYC.

Janka recently did an interview with the New York Post where he breaks down 120 “conquests” and goes into detail about how he works his mastery.

His tips make sense in the big picture, but some criticism is expected from anybody who considers themselves a pick-up artist/expert on getting laid.

When comparing NYC to other big cities and explaining his success Janka says, “I think part of the reason I wrote ["Getting Laid in NYC"] is none of this would work in Boston or LA. Here there’s not enough guys to go around that meet the criteria of the three s’s: straight, single and solvent.

I just have exposure in New York. I’ll walk down the block and like at rush hour, literally a dozen or 20 [girls] will pass me, each one is attractive in her mid-20’s, each one is single and lonely and it’s unbelievable, it’s like Jesus, I don’t know what these other guys are doing to try to get into these girls’ pants, but this is like a layup town.”

If you fit his “3 S” criteria read his New York Post interview and hit the town this weekend. (COED is not responsible for women slapping you across the face or throwing drinks on your dress shirt.)

Uplifting Moment of the Day: Nervous Autistic Anthem Singer Gets Help From Fenway Crowd

The news of Sean Taylor’s death has rocked the sports world. But just when you start losing your faith in humanity (or whatever is bothering you at the moment) we get a small glimmer of hope like this.

Disability Week took place in August, and a man with autism was chosen to sing the national anthem. He got a case of the nervous giggles halfway through; but listen to what the Fenway crowd does to support him.

I’m a Yankees fan but I gotta give it up to Red Sox fans for being extra classy when it counts:

Alternate Forms of Travel

hitch hike

My dorm closes this Wednesday for Thanksgiving break, leaving me with a major travel dilemma. I don’t have a car on campus so that leaves driving home off the list. The standards, flight and train, are so dang expensive - and I spent my entire semester budget on beer and pot.

It looks like I have no other option than finding an alternative form of travel to get home to Boston from New Jersey. It’s time to get crack-a-lackin’… Read More »
