THE BOSTON 2024 COMMUNITY MEETING DRINKING GAME
Image by Kent Buckley
Our attorney made us promise to stress that this is only a joke, and that people shouldn’t really get stoned and polluted inside the various family environments where Boston 2024 and Mayor Marty Walsh are hosting their next open meetings. Nevertheless, as the Hub’s Olympic dreams get more and more offensive, organizers are becoming harder to lampoon. Since we’ve arrived at the point where a plutocrat like John Fish can look crowds in the face and claim to be pursuing his effort for “the children,” we felt it was appropriately tasteless to design a drinking game fit for the Summer Games. Use at any of the upcoming meetings that are listed below.*
