Does Sean from So Boston have your phone #?>>The donkeys are coming! The 'best' things about the DNC in Boston Let's just say we've heard enough moaning and groaning about the Democratic National Convention coming to Boston. Tired of the complaining, the Lighter Side asked everyone to step back, take a deep breath, and try to have a little fun amid all the commotion. After wading through hundreds of user submissions, here are our some of our favorite selections for the "best" things about the DNC coming to Beantown. The trucker tan The best thing about the DNC coming to Boston is getting the opportunity to get a great tan on my left arm as I sit in traffic. - Submitted by James, Natick (Reuters) Shut up and smile Bill and Hillary will have to be in the same state for a night. - Submitted by Phil, Dorchester Quack quack ... you quack! You will see people on Duck Tours wearing suits. - Submitted by Joe, Boston The glass: Half-full It won't be back next year. - Submitted by Jeff, Cambridge Yes sir, that one glows in the dark Laughing about having the MBTA police find flavored, funky condoms in my work bag! - Submitted by Maggie, Boston (Globe file) Tricky misunderstanding Hopefully they'll do "Walk this Way" with Aerosmith.

A chance to get into the Guiness Book of Records when you're stuck in the world's longest underground traffic jam. 2. Free X-ray screenings at every 7-11, no need to go to Mass General anymore. 3. All those wonderful, kind and considerate security personnel to help you unpack your bags on the Green Line platforms and scatter those unwanted possessions widely. - Submitted by Robert, Newton Did you say bitch-ersation? It gives people who like to bitch something else to bitch about - and gives the regular topics of bitch-ersation a much needed vacation. - Submitted by Vinny, Reading Wicked smaht move I can sublet my apartment for the week and pay off my parking tickets. - Submitted by Lori, Boston Line up to see the "Amazing Flip-Flop Man" It will be the first time I've seen a real freak show! Cool! - Submitted by Lorene, Cambridge Head south, and don't turn back Cape traffic?...Mmmmm not so bad. - Submitted by AVT, Reading (Globe file) Who knows what's in those things?
