I donated a beautiful Seagull Poop Framed Picture for their silent auction. I’m hoping a couple of rich dudes get into an egotistical bidding war over it!

Spanx? Seriously?

I wanna know who the marketing genius was behind the branding of this “Power Panties” line carried at Seasons On Main.

How do you suppose that board meeting went with the advertising executives?

I say it went something like this-

Ad exec #1- “I’m having a hard time coming up with a name for our new “Power Panties” line, what do you guys think?”

Ad exec #2 “How bout we put a black chick, a white chick, and an asian chick on the cover of the box topless and call them “SPANX”?

Ad exec #1-“Fucking Brilliant!  Lets go with it!”

“It’s a hard night’s work”- Boston Globe Article

By Steven Rosenberg

Globe Staff / August 10, 2008

(Editor’s note: Globe reporter Steven Rosenberg recently joined Mark Carroll for a night of fishing off Gloucester.)

GLOUCESTER – Mark Carroll can’t explain why he’s still fishing. He can’t put into words how he fell in love with a profession that has put his life in danger too many times at sea, claimed a lot of his bank account, and his marriage.”
