In South Boston, made popular by the representation of Good Will Hunting - the Boston boy genius (Yeah, right) - police followed up on a warning against public drinking by busting heads and bringing in at least 30 people for being obviously smashed at the parade, and forcing dozens of others to pour out their lime-tinted beers. Talk about harshing your buzz.
The parade this year featured the usual bagpipers and marching bands, but also a special appearance by the Dropkick Murphys - Boston's loveable punk delegates.
The only real hiccup in an otherwise fine bacchanalian day (aside from getting beaten by the Fuzz) was the bitter cold. One resident was quoted concerning the freezing temperature as "Colder than Christmas!" before devolving into a string of expletives unfit for publication and then receiving a righteous baton to the crotch from Officer O'Malley.
