Gloucester Girls Are Easy

Since my mind is in schizo mode today, it has won the battle for the type of blog posting will appear today - it will be a bunch of randomness.

Gloucester Massachusetts, known for the Gorton's fisherman and the main characters from the movie 'The Perfect Storm' will now be known on a national level as a Teenage Baby factory, based on an article in this week's Time Magazine. These girls could start a new industry in the town (with the fishing industry not doing so well) - Baby Mamas.

Turns out teenage girls (mostly under 16) at Gloucester High are looking to get pregnant so they can all raise their babies together. Like one big baby-factory community.

A couple of things stood out to me while reading the article.

Gloucester girls are so desperate to get knocked up, that they are having sex with homeless guys to get pregnant. Is that a slam against the boys at Gloucester High and a reflection of their (non)ability to get the job done.?You can't even use the old expression "Slipped one past the goalie", in this instance because The goalie's been pulled and the net is left empty.

That during this school year more than 150 pregnancy tests had been administered at Gloucester High's student clinic. That's means a lot of sex has been going on in the backseats of car's and in parent's basements all over the North Shore town.

Girls are disappointed when they find out that they are not pregnant - If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

In other news:

The only person happier than Celtics fans that the NBA playoffs are over (no more bitching about 9 p.m. starts) is ABC sideline reporter Michelle Tafoya. Why is Tafoya so happy you ask, because she won't have to worry about players and coaches making uncomfortable passes at her during halftime/postgame interviews. Phil Jackson, Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett have all remarked about Tafoya's appearance and how good she looks during interviews this postseason.

I'm not sold on Tafoya's looks yet. Her appearance might be enhanced because of the aura that goes along with being a female sideline reporter (with the attractiveness of Erin Andrews and Heidi Watney, et al.). If Tafoya had an office job and you saw her randomly on the street would everyone be commenting on how good she looks? Doubt it.

Since today is Boston Celtics parade day in the Hub, I leave you with one more Boston Celtics video - enjoy.
