  • 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.

Funny Poop 
  • A man walks into a hamburger shop and orders a regular meal.  Later, the waitress brings his meal to him.  He takes a bite out of it, and notices there's a small hair in the hamburger.  He begins yelling frantically at the waitress, "Waitress, there's a hair in my hamburger! I demand to see what is going on!"  
So, the waitress takes him back where the cook is and to his demise, he sees the cook take the meat patty and flatten it under his arm pit.  He says, "That's disgusting!"  Then the waitress says, "You think that's disgusting you should see him make donuts." 
  • Maria had just gotten married and being a traditional Italian, she was still a virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was nervous. But her mother reassured her. "Don't worry, Maria. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs and he'll take care of you." So up she went.  
When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed his hairy chest. Maria ran downstairs to her mother and said, "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big hairy chest." "Don't worry, Maria," said her mother," all good men have hairy chests. Go upstairs. He'll take good care of you."  
Up she went again. When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy legs. Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother, "Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants and he's got hairy legs!" "Don't worry. All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man. Go up stairs and he'll take good care of you."  
Up she went again. When she got up there, Tony took off his socks and on his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot and a half!" "Stay here and stir the pasta," said her mother. "This is a job for Mama." 
  • For a holiday, Murphy decided to go to Switzerland to fulfill a lifelong dream and climb the Matterhorn.  He hired a guide and just as they neared the top, the men were caught in a snow slide.  Three hours later, a Saint Bernard plowed through to them, a keg of brandy tied under his chin.   
"Hooray!" shouted the guide. "Here comes man's best friend!"  
"Yeah," said Murphy. "An' look at the size of the dog that's bringin' it!"  
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
