Weekly Poop 10/19/11

Roost #44 Poop
·         Dates to Remember:
·        Tonight – Ravens Rap @ the Blue Ox.  Ravens Room open up to customers at 6pm, every show.  We will now not be taking a real break after the “6 minute segments”; we will close out with clapping & start back up after about 10-15 seconds.  We will now just take breaks after the 15 minute full segments.  You may whisper amongst each other, there doesn’t have to be total silence.  We can’t have any cursing. But you can also cheer or jeer (a little) based on the guys comments.  This is a show w/ an audience, so there is expected to be some interaction.  We seem to get feedback that the last 30 minutes, the part only on radio where you are supposed to be asking questions, is a “waste”.  You all don’t have any questions, really, because they’ve covered everything.  We need to know this, we may consider dropping it.  Every Show you attend, you get two Free Raffle Tickets (1 Red, 1 Blue)  EVERY Show two of the Red Prize tickets are pulled for prizes that night: about 30 minutes into show, for Ravens Merchandise or an Original Greene Turtle Gift Certificate.  At the end of the show, another drawing; this one will always be Ravens Merchandise.  The Red tickets, after each, show are discarded.  The Blue Tickets are for the Grand Prize of a Ravens Trip for 2 to San Diego.  The Drawing is Wednesday, November 30th & you must be present to win!  You get a blue ticket for the Trip for every show you come to, so the more shows, the more chances.  Note: No Worries, these tickets will be kept in a separate bucket, from the Red tickets that get discarded weekly.  For this drawing on 11/30/11, there will be a runner up prize of a Turtle Gift Certificate PLUS a Real Nice Ravens Piece.  Show starts @ 7pm, ending time may vary slightly.  Show is usually Wednesdays, except for Thanksgiving & possibly Monday or Thursday games.

Ravens Poop
·        The Ravens pounded a very game Houston Texan team 29-14 Sunday @ M&T.  Q had a huge game as did Bazooka Joe and Little Ray; Ray Lewis became the first player in NFL history with 40 sacks and 30 picks.  Next up – the 1-5 Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football.  Will the Ravens take them lightly?  Are these next two games back-to-back trap games (next week the Ravens play at home against the 1-4 Arizona Cardinals) before travelling to Pittsburgh November 6?
·        Good news notes and nuggets from Sarah Ellison’s Blog here.  It’s getting to the point where I can hardly stand ESPN, but I do go Jamison Hensley’s Blog here to stay up to date with all of the AFC North news.

Local Poop
·        Nothing to see here.  Move along, move along…

Funny Poop
·        An old guy and his son had a one-mule farm where they eked out a living.  One day, the son hit the lottery and won $50,000.  He rushed into town, collected his money, then hurried back home, where he told his father the good news, and handed him $50 bill.  The father looked at the money for a moment and then said, "Son, you know I've always been careful with what little money we had.  I didn't spend it on whiskey or women.  In fact, I couldn't even afford a license to legally marry your Ma."  "Pa!" the son exclaims, "do you know what that makes me?"  "Sure do," said the old guy fingering the fifty-dollar bill.  "And a damn cheap one, too."

Etcetera

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
