Last night Mrs. 103 and I are out and about, and we decide to stop for some pizza at Romano’s in Salem, NH on Rt. 97.
We walk in and order our pizza, and decide to look around since we’ve never been in there before. Among the framed autographed jerseys hanging on the wall are a Tom Brady throwback (very cool), a Tyler Seguin Bruins third jersey (okay...), and a Joe Thornton all star jersey with a Bruins patch (huh...?). Of all the Bruins, why those two? High draft picks who underachieved here, right? A bit of a head scratcher.
Then I walk into the ‘dining area’ and something dawns on me as I look at the jerseys in there...
A red Canadiens Carey Price jersey, a white Canadiens Carey Price jersey (both autographed), a Montreal Expos jersey, and a Peter Stastny Quebec Nordiques jersey. I couldn’t have cared less about the Expos and Nords jerseys, but after asking the kid who took our order, he confirmed what I suspected - the owner was a rotten Habs fan! The Seguin and Thornton jerseys are obvious digs at the Bruins.
Between what I saw at the restaurant and how the Bruins were playing, my wife and I listened to Metallica on the ride home (the “Kill ‘em All” album) and not the game.
I did think it was funny that a pizza place had poutine on the menu, though. My wife wants to go back and get that another day. We do love poutine...
We’ll see.
