Weekly Poop 3/6/13


Roost #44 Poop
  • Dates to Remember:
    • Friday, – Water Conservation Group Meeting @ …
    • Saturday, March 16 – Don't forget about the St. Patty's Day Parade! We meet at Beach Copy Center (thanks once again to Debbie and George!) on 59th Street, O.C. and you should try to be there by 10:00 (before they start closing streets off) for the parade at 12:00. We continue to need members to march in the parade. Clothing is black pants (of any sort), Ravens Roost Jersey's or Ravens Player Jersey's; There are some marching that do not have either so if anyone is willing to loan us jersey's, we can label them on the inside with removable tape and make sure they are returned. We suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt under the jersey, black, white, or green. Hats of the Irish nature are requested and we will have head gear available for those that may not have a favorite hat. Please consider joining us for the parade and enjoy a busy day at your local bars and restaurants in Ocean City. Remember, no parking is available @ Beach Copy. Park down near the end of the parade and walk back – that way, your vehicle will be close by when we finish!

Funny Poop
  • A man goes into a store and asks the clerk for some "Polish Sausage."
    The clerk looked at him and asked "Are you Polish?"
    The guy, clearly offended, says "Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I asked you for Italian Sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or, if I asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked you for a Kosher Hot Dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or, if I asked you for a Taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican? Would ya, huh? Would ya?"
    The clerk says, "Well no."
    "And if I asked you for some Irish Whiskey, would you ask me if I was Irish? What about Canadian Bacon, would you ask me if I was Canadian?"
    "Well, I probably wouldn't,"
    With self-indignation, the guy says, "Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I'm Polish just because I asked for Polish Sausage?'
    The clerk replies, "Because you're at Home Depot."

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
