  • January 1, 2014 - The Penguin Swim to Benefit AGH:  The web site is up and it is once again time to join the RR44 Penguin Swim Team.  The past 3 years we have taken 3rd place in the Team division.  This year, the categories have been changed so that Bars and commercial establishments (like Bull on the Beach) have their own division.  That means Civic clubs like ours will be competing against each other, so we have a huge opportunity to take first place in our division!  We will have a hospitality room again this year for the participants to use before and after getting wet for a good cause.  Ask your friends to join our team and go to the link below to sign up under "OC Ravens Roost #44 Penguin Swim Team".  http://penguinswim.atlanticgeneral.org/search.cfm.  Thanks, Gary

Funny Poop
  • Patient: I'm in a hospital! Why am I in here?
Doctor: You've had an accident involving a bus.
Patient: What happened?
Doctor: Well, I've got some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first?
Patient: Give me the bad news first.
Doctor: Your legs were injured so badly that we had to amputate both of them.
Patient: That's terrible! What's the good news?
Doctor: There's a guy in the next ward who made a very good offer on your slippers.

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
