In appreciation of Mayor Menino’s near ubiquitous ribbon cutting skills, we’ve put together a flickr set of his exploits. After going through and picking the highlights (have one we missed? Email us and we’ll add it!), we started to feel bad for businesses that didn’t get to have the Mayor cut their ribbon, so we’re working on a prototype of a cardboard Menino cut-out that anyone, anywhere can enjoy. Have the Mayor cut the ribbon every morning before you open – enjoy him at birthday parties, bat mitzvahs, christenings, losing your virginity; the possibilities are virtually limitless. Just slide your ribbon between the genuine stainless steel scissors (included at no charge – gold or giant scissors available at an extra charge) and have him cut away.
Mayor Menino, Ribbon Cutter

If nothing else, the mayor is egalitarian in his ribbon cutting. He is sharing (not his gold plated scissors) one event with 2 other scissor wielders.
I, though, never cease to be amazed at the ideas generated by the Pazzo think tank.
I like the little clueless kids in the Pauline A. Shaw School ribbon cutting. They obviously have no clue what is going on.
Still, the rainbow DNA ribbon in the LifeSciencesRibbon cutting wins for shear class!
