I was a bit surprised when I read 'barber's shop' expression in Dmitry's message (I don't think I saw it in US, but may be as usual I was not paying attention), so I searched for the translation of Russian word and found, that for men it will be barber's shop.

>Evertybody - I mean EVERYBODY - talks only about Patriots. Yesterday I needed to call Comcast (telephone internet company) with a question.

Back when I was a kid I lived in Winchester (just outside of Boston) - The (then) Boston Patriots sucked eggs through a skinny straw.
They made a hockey fan out of me!

Then they were run out of Boston to become the New England Patriots.
