| this morning around 8:10am on cambridge near gordon and allston st. mr. butch flying around on a brand new vespa no plates on the thing he did have a helmet on though randomly on traffic, randomly on the side walk, randomly using the kickstand, standing up and then sitting back down on it... |
| ryantheterrible - 6/26/07, 3:35 am |
| he now has a vespa. |
| lieber - 6/26/07, 3:36 am |
| mr. butch is, in actuality, a full fledged scooter owner now. |
| SkunkEye - 6/26/07, 3:37 am |
| Why get an apartment when you can get a Vespa? |
| waffles - 6/26/07, 3:37 am |
| a. wtf? b. how did he get that much money together? c. it wasn't street legal, no license plate d. WTF? |
| XHARDSTARESX - 6/26/07, 3:38 am |
| I'd hate to be his wife and be called Mrs Butch. |
| SkunkEye - 6/26/07, 3:40 am |
| You're Mrs. Butch. |
| appletree - 6/26/07, 3:41 am |
| Ms. Butch |
| adam - 6/26/07, 3:42 am |
| Liz and I saw him bombing around on it the other day. You don't need plates on a scooter. Just a registration sticker. |

| Butchophenia |
| XHARDSTARESX - 6/26/07, 3:42 am |
| I used to get him fucking wasted and then dial a friends number and have him yell nonsense into it about niggers and shit. |
| bussmann - 6/26/07, 3:46 am |
| oh man. I saw him late last night on this thing on the sidewalk. sean and I were pretty suprised. |
| amyd - 6/26/07, 4:05 am |
| will and i saw this on sunday night! |
| TheStallion - 6/26/07, 4:08 am |
| someone should build him a p.a. system/amp inside the scooter |
| SugeNate - 6/26/07, 4:11 am |
| DUI arrests are in his future |
| JohnaldMorman - 6/26/07, 4:15 am |
| !!!! |
| Dr.Sausages - 6/26/07, 4:20 am |
| mr butch has more money in his "bank account" than i do. |
| the.rog - 6/26/07, 4:22 am |
| yeah i've seen him sitting on the scooter lately. honestly, what's his deal? |
| Dr.Sausages - 6/26/07, 4:25 am |
| he owns a scooter, no deal. he also owns a van. cant a guy buy a scooter without being accused of stealing it? geez up the butch |
| wong - 6/26/07, 4:30 am |
| thts so awesome. good for mr butch. |
| nico - 6/26/07, 5:27 am |
| Dr.Sausages - 06/26/07 at 11:25 am (72.72.79.139) cant a guy buy a scooter without being accused of stealing it? obviously not if he's black! |
| Dirigo - 6/26/07, 5:29 am |
| this'll end well |
| SkunkEye - 6/26/07, 5:36 am |
| So he wasn't actually arrested? |
| evanparker - 6/26/07, 5:46 am |
| waffles, no plate doesn't mean it's not legal. he told me once, that he always wanted to get another scooter. he said he used to have a big honda motorcycle, but he just couldn't keep straight enough to ride it all the time. my question is, how did he save up money to buy a scooter? |
| nova - 6/26/07, 5:55 am |
| yeah, i saw him in harvard square on that thing over the weekend. i was surprised too. i assumed it was a gift or something. |
| caroline - 6/26/07, 5:56 am |
| oh man oh man i cannot wait to see this.... |
| radioswthrt - 6/26/07, 5:56 am |
| caroline - 06/26/07 at 12:56 pm (65.192.222.2) oh man oh man i cannot wait to see this.... |
| evanparker - 6/26/07, 5:56 am |
| I GIVE HIM 3 DAYS DUI CITY |
| Al - 6/26/07, 5:58 am |
| if Mr. Butch has a scooter, that gives me just about all the inspiration I need to get one myself. |
| eric - 6/26/07, 6:02 am |
| While I think it's great that the community looks out ofr this guy, and maybe he's living his own life the way that he wants, I'm kind of surprised at how supportive everyone is of a "homeless" alcoholic with a motor vehicle. |

| peter - 6/26/07, 7:42 am |
| I wonder how nuclear the meltdown would be if Mr. Butch got drunk and killed a bicyclist on his Vespa? |
| uallach - 6/26/07, 7:43 am |
| all fun and games until someone gets killed by an errant vespa |
| the.rog - 6/26/07, 7:43 am |
| evanparker - 06/26/07 at 12:46 pm (66.75.87.143) my question is, how did he save up money to buy a scooter? this is what i meant by "what's his deal" |
| strunkles - 6/26/07, 7:44 am |
| Mr. Butch gets social security checks and has been saving up to get a scooter for years now. He's going to die. I think Sue told me that on the first day he got the scooter he ran into a pole and broke off the right side rear view mirror. |
| eric - 6/26/07, 7:46 am |
| Oh good. Finally a solid reason for staying the fuck out of Allston. |
| strunkles - 6/26/07, 7:48 am |
| For years he's been saying he wanted to buy a scooter and I was just like "Whatever, Mr. Butch" and thinking that it would be the worst thing ever if he actually managed to get a scooter, but now it's become a reality. On one level it's hilarious, but then Mr. Butch drunkenly scootering around Allston is actually dangerous for him and everyone in Allston. |
| uallach - 6/26/07, 7:48 am |
| if butch has to die i think a vespa accident is rather fitting |
| peter - 6/26/07, 7:49 am |

| OMG THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME! |
| neopolitan - 6/26/07, 7:50 am |
| we all have to die |
| tim - 6/26/07, 7:58 am |
| allston bycliclists motorists and pedestrians can all agree on one thing. mr butch should not be driving anything. |
| waffles - 6/26/07, 8:01 am |
| next time i walk by him and he asks for change i'm going to respond "spare a scooter ride" |
| uallach - 6/26/07, 8:21 am |
| i'm sure the cops will harass him constantly, don't worry fun haters |
| Al - 6/26/07, 8:57 am |
| the image I'm having of Mr. Butch on a scooter is making me laugh out loud... I don't know if that's bad or not... |
| tom_s - 6/26/07, 9:00 am |
| hes got a nice helmet too |
| nova - 6/26/07, 9:00 am |
| i know! |
| barker - 6/26/07, 9:04 am |
| we have a bike gang. he wants to be the leader but we won't let him. |

| Aphorism - 6/26/07, 9:08 am |
| I think he thinks he'll get even more famous if he rides around on a scooter. |
| waffles - 6/26/07, 9:10 am |
| uallach - 06/26/07 at 03:21 pm (208.120.203.253) i'm sure the cops will harass him constantly, don't worry fun haters from what i saw... riding down comm ave at 8am...turning down warren street...turn back down warren street via the sidewalk...parking in front of the pizza place...standing up...sitting down...heading back down towards gordon...then back up comm ave, this time with one leg hanging out to a side, i assume trying to "pull off some sick move" i had to walk by corner to my car then drive back around to comm ave... looks like we all should be "harassing" him to be a better driver |
| Aphorism - 6/26/07, 9:13 am |
| an accident waiting to happen |
| mikechumpchange - 6/26/07, 9:14 am |
| someone get the memorial "ghost vespa" ready for the corner of Harvard Ave. |
| the.rog - 7/2/07, 5:45 am |
| so this weekend i had not one, not two, but 5 conversations with completely unrelated people about Mr. Butch's vespa. |
| tim - 7/2/07, 5:56 am |
| well... anyone who gets seriously ill from a lack of alcohol should not be operating any heavy machinery. in other news, firefox 2 checks my spelling. apparently firefox is not in the firefox dictionary. funny that. |
| the.rog - 7/2/07, 5:58 am |
| "berklee" is not in the dictionary for word here and you need an administrator's password to change things about applications. |
| waffles - 7/12/07, 4:12 am |
| so the word on the street is that he has actually got in a drunk accident this morning...and died |
| matt - 7/12/07, 4:17 am |
| no way |
| dink - 7/12/07, 4:17 am |
| this is so sad. |
| vom - 7/12/07, 4:18 am |
| no way |

| this thread is so terribly ironically tragic. |
| Dirigo - 7/12/07, 4:45 am |
| Dirigo - 06/26/07 at 12:29 pm (74.69.251.232) this'll end well What a bummer, though. |
| Al - 7/12/07, 10:42 am |
| when I heard the news, I thought of this thread. I wish Dingo had been wrong... jesus, what, 2 1/2 weeks? |
| tinobeat - 7/12/07, 10:56 am |
| how could he have been wrong? This thread's been bothering me all day, because everyone seemed to
have a bemused kind of "oh look, how odd, he got a scooter" when they should have been all
"holy shit this is a time bomb." I'm honestly shocked it was a whole 2 1/2 weeks. RIP Butch |
| danny - 7/12/07, 11:03 am |
| i understand where you guys are coming from. but the dude saved up and bought the scooter. was somebody supposed to tell him he couldn't ride it? would you have honestly done that? |
| bicyclewhoa - 7/12/07, 11:05 am |
| wow. this thread is FUCKED UP. mr butch. rip. |
| tinobeat - 7/12/07, 11:09 am |
| danny - 07/12/07 at 06:03 pm (72.72.3.66) i understand where you guys are coming from. but the dude saved up and bought the scooter. was somebody supposed to tell him he couldn't ride it? would you have honestly done that? I just think about how people would react if they knew someone, say some BU d00d, was scootering around the neighborhood drunk and incapacitated daily. I have a feeling people would have done just that, told him he couldn't ride it, or told the police. |
| Dirigo - 7/12/07, 11:12 am |
| I'm not saying anyone had the right to tell him he couldn't ride it, just that somebody should have stolen the damn keys. |
| peter - 7/12/07, 11:13 am |
| danny - 07/12/07 at 06:03 pm (72.72.3.66) i understand where you guys are coming from. but the dude saved up and bought the scooter. was somebody supposed to tell him he couldn't ride it? would you have honestly done that? If it was a friend that I truly cared about I would do so without hesitation. |
| patrix - 7/12/07, 11:14 am |
| exactly, peter. |
| peter - 7/12/07, 11:18 am |
| Dirigo - 07/12/07 at 06:12 pm (74.69.251.232) I'm not saying anyone had the right to tell him he couldn't ride it... I'm not either. I'm saying that they had the obligation to do so for his and the public's safety alike. Unfortunately for Mr. Butch, it seems that didn't happen. |
| uallach - 7/12/07, 12:00 pm |
| how do you save a 56 year old man from himself? |
| neogonzo - 7/12/07, 12:10 pm |
| heavy. |
| peter - 7/12/07, 12:19 pm |
| uallach - 07/12/07 at 07:00 pm (205.197.148.2) how do you save a 56 year old man from himself? Apparently, the answer is "you don't". |
