  • From John Lennon: I am now the Vice President of Ravens Roost #134.  I was drafted not vigorously pursuing this position.  I joined this roost because it was closer to my home.  I have two tickets plus the bus, for the 09/28 (Panthers) game.  I also have an individual ticket and bus for a number of games.  I am seeking my cost. Is it permissible to for you to mention this availability in one of your e-mails to 44 members? Our roost is small in number at the present time so interest in my tickets is limited.  If this is permissible, please provide my e-mail address of jflennon1@verizon.net.  Thanks!  John 
  • Marian Ciccero (aka Mama C) is looking for a roommate for the Tampa trip.  Gender is unimportant, being able to pay your half of the hotel stay is.  Contact Marian @ 443.880.0862.  Call her - she will not answer text messages. 

Ravens Poop

  • The Ravens kick off their 2014 campaign at home as the Cincinnati Bengals come to town, 1 pm.  The bus leaves Ocean City 5 1/2 hours before the game starts (that's 7:30 am for the mathematically challenged).

Funny Poop 
  • A man took a trip out West after a harrowing divorce proceeding.  He stopped in a bar, and after a few drinks, stated to no one in particular, "Lawyers are horses' asses."  One of the locals spoke up on hearing this said, "Mister, you'd better watch what you say. You're in horse country."  
  • Teacher: "Kids, what does the chicken give you?"  
Student: "Meat!"  
Teacher: "Very good! Now what does the pig give you?"  
Student: "Bacon!"  
Teacher: "Great! And what does the fat cow give you?"  
Student: "Homework!"  
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
