  • Friday – Ravens Roost #44 Annual Christmas Party 6 pm - 10 pm.  Because the Cove has moved the time up to 6PM, they only  have limited time to set up for our affair. therefore, they have asked that we not arrive any earlier than 5:45 pm, to give them adequate time to prepare for our group. Please help them out and not arrive before 5:45. Also remember that we will have our "world famous" Chinese auction, to benefit the Atlantic General Hospital Penguin Swim Team, with items from around the region. Please bring some cash to purchase tickets for the auction. The Roost is covering the cost of beer and wine, for the event, but there will also be a cash bar available. Thanks to all who help make this a great event!  Go HERE for the list of items for the Chinese auction.

Funny Poop
  • A guy is reading his paper when his wife walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head with a frying pan.
He asks, "What was that for?"
She says, "I found a piece of paper in your pocket with 'Betty Sue' written on it."
He says, "Jeez, honey, remember last week when I went to the track? 'Betty Sue' was the name of the horse I went there to bet on." She shrugs and walks away. Three days later he's reading his paper when she walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head again with the frying pan.
He asks, "What was that for?"
She answers, "Your horse called."
  • Lewis has a big pimple in the middle of his forehead. A big, huge pimple, and it won't go away. So he goes to the doctor.
The doctor examines him and says, "Oh my! You've got a penis growing out of the middle of your forehead!"
Lewis says, "Oh, no, Doc! What can you do?"
The doctor says, "Don't worry. Once it's fully grown, we can remove it completely."
Lewis says, "What do you mean, FULLY GROWN?! Doc, I can't spend years and years staring at that thing, waiting for it to grow!"
The doctor says, "Well, you won't have to stare at it for long. Pretty soon, the balls will cover your eyes."

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
