Another Title For Massachusetts!

October 23, 2008 · Filed Under RANDOM WEIRDNESS, VIDEOS 

by the goat… Remember when I said a while back that at this point Massachusetts could probably win a war with China. Well here we go again. William “Chopper” Young of Wellfleet has won the Guinness World Oyster Opening (shucking to you and I) Championships in Galway, Ireland.  story here

What a great frickin’ nickname.

The best part of the story is that he uses an un-orthodox side opening technique and when he got to Ireland he realized it wouldn’t work there. You see Kelly Galway oysters are harder to open than ours and his knife was too thin. So what does “Chopper” do? Cry? Go home? NO! He borrows a knife from a Swedish dude and adapts, overcomes and wins the whole shebang and brings the trophy back to Mass-a-fucking-chusetts!

Here in the Holy Land, the mecca if you will, the trophy will feel right at home. If it gets lonely it can hang out with some other notable trophies that the “Great” Bay State has won in the last few years.

There are the big three of course, the NBA championship, the NFL championship and the MLB championship trophies respectfully.

There is the college hockey championship won by Boston College.

There is the Cup Stacking World Championship trophy won by Steven Purugganan of Longmeadow, MA.  story here

There is the Vegas Stripper Pole Dancing trophy won by Somerville’s own Danielle Rueda-Watts, who was cheered on by the World Champion Boston Celtics while they were in Vegas fresh off their victory.  story here

Let’s not forget the pride of Chicopee, Sean Sears, who brought home the Rock, Paper, Scissors World Championship Trophy.  story here

To use the parlance of our times, I mean OMG WTF? Massachusetts is on fire!

By the way BSP would like to wish Happy Birthdays to two great icons of sport: Chi Chi Rodriguez and Natick’s own Doug Flutie.
