Weekly Poop 1/4/17


Roost #44 Poop
  • Dates to Remember:
    • Thursday, 1/19 – Ravens Roost #44 Monthly meeting, 7:30 pm, upstairs at the Original Greene Turtle. This meeting is moved to the third Thursday due to the large group of members that will be out of town for the regularly scheduled day.
  • From the Prez: I need someone to go to Council meeting in Baltimore this Friday, Dec 16, 7:30 in Catonsville at Knights of Columbus. Roost pays mileage for the trip. Also need someone to fill in for January meeting, I'll be on vacation. Text or call 410 627 7697. Thanks, Donna.
  • Road Trip 2017 – Everyone: Here are the links to reserve your spot on the OC Ravens Roost 44 Road Trip to London! Please click on each of the links to read what is included (additional 3 nights in Paris is now available and details are included in that link) before making your decision. Once you have decided, you can place your deposit. Remember to consider the Travel Insurance option as the deposit is non-refundable. If you want to customize any part of the trip, please contact Jacob Sudek directly. His phone number and email address are included in the links and at the bottom of this page. The prices as shown are good until Jan 31st so you need to pay the deposit by then to lock in the current price. Keep in mind that once the NFL puts out the schedule, prices, especially for air, will probably go up. The other thing to consider is that you are locking in the current exchange rate for the US dollar which could change, making the price go higher. I will be on the Roost Cruise till 1/16 but will try to answer emails on a daily basis. Thanks, Gary.
  • Penguin Swim - Please see the attached flyer. With the help of the people and companies listed, we raised over $13,400 for AGH. Thanks, and Happy New Year!!
  • Entertainment Committee:
    All members are invited to attend ANY Entertainment Committee meeting. You don't have to commit to joining the Committee but are welcomed to attend and give your thoughts on existing activities and join in the discussion to add new activities, trips, etc. in 2017. Join us at the next Committee meeting at the Greene Turtle on January 25th, at the Greene Turtle North, at 6:00PM. Contact me for questions or more information- Eric Waterman, 410-598-4597 or eric_waterman@comcast.net.
  • 2017 Activities:
    • Thursday, February 23rd - INDOOR MINI GOLF EVENT: We currently have 34 people signed up & would like at least 2 more so we can have at least 9 foursomes. But even more are welcome. If we do not have any more members sign up there will be room for a few male/female non-member couples to join us. We will meet at the Old Pro Indoor course at 136th St. at 6:45pm. Our private party will start at 7:00pm & we have the building until 9:00pm. Free beer, wine, soda, & water will be provided while we play. Be on time as we will have a shotgun start at every other hole! Then we will re-convene at the Green Turtle upstairs for a tailgate type food spread & prizes (cash bar on your own, we can not bring our drinks from Old Pro to the Turtle). Cost for every thing is $25pp - please pay by cash or check payable to Ron Apperson at the Jan. 19th meeting (note this is the 3rd Thurs). Ron can not make the meeting so Eric will accept the payments. Teams of 1 man, 1 woman, & foursome pairings will be announced at the Feb. 9th meeting. Additional signups at the meeting or by phone at 302-436-4790 or ronapperson@msn.com.
    • March 11 – St. Paddy’s Day Parade.
Ravens Poop
  • Good daily dose of Ravens news notes and nuggets here. It’s getting to the point where I can hardly stand ESPN, but I do go Jamison Hensley’s Blog here to stay up to date with all of the AFC North news.
  • All the best Orioles news notes and nuggets at Britt's Bird Watch here.

Local Poop
  • Eh, not a whole lot happening this week. Standard music and trivia nights at the local establishments.


Funny Poop
  • Nursery school teacher says to her class, "Who can use the word 'Definitely' in a sentence?"
    First a little girl says "The sky is definitely blue"
    Teacher says, "Sorry, Amy, but the sky can be gray, or orange…"
    Second little boy..."Trees are definitely green"
    "Sorry, but in the autumn, the trees are brown."
    Little Johnny from the back of the class stands up and asks: "Does a fart have lumps?"
    The teacher looks horrified and says "Johnny! Of course not!!!"
    "OK...then I DEFINITELY shit my pants..."


Etcetera
  • Got poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.
