Local Poop
·         Tonight – A special PLAYOFF EDITION of RAVENS RAP, 6pm, at the Original Greene Turtle.  Yes, the SZLAS WILL BE THERE!  Says Steve: I’m getting tired of seeing all these predictions from people who don’t know the Ravens.  The Ravens are focused, healthy, tough to stop on offense, the number one defense in the league & tough at home!  This is just another hurdle Lamar must face.  First, it was,“You can’t run in this league” then, “He can’t win on the Road!” Now it’s, “Lamar can’t win against a team that’s seen him before!”  He has jumped each hurdle as it’s been presented & I see no reason to think he won’t jump this!  Bottom Line, Raven’s 31-Chargers 27!  See You tonight, Raven’s Steve.

Funny Poop
·         One Monday morning a postman is walking the neighborhood on his usual route. As he approaches one of the homes, he noticed that both cars were in the driveway.  His wonder was cut short by Bob, the homeowner, coming out with a load of empty beer and liquor bottles.
"Wow Bob, looks like you guys had one hell of a party last night," the postman comments.
Bob in obvious pain replies, "Actually we had it Saturday night.  This is the first I have felt like moving since 4:00 am Sunday morning.  We had about fifteen couples from around the neighborhood over for Christmas Cheer and it got a bit wild.  We got so drunk around midnight that we started playing 'Who Am I.'
The postman thinks a moment and says, "How do you play that?"
“Well, all the guys go in the bedroom and we come out one at a time with a sheet covering us and only our "privates" showing through a hole in the sheet.  Then the women try to guess who it is."
The mailman laughs and says, "Damn, I'm sorry I missed that."
"Probably a good thing you did," Bob responds. "Your name came up four or five times."
Etcetera
