Roost #44 Poop

Frank’s note: All items subject to change/cancellation

From the Prez –

I just wanted to say thanks to all that made our annual picnic a huge success. All had a good time. Toooooo many names to mention. But you proved that there in no “I” in team. Many thanks and people stayed longer. Maybe they did not want to get wet. We all had plenty to eat and good music.

Have a good summer. See you around.

Talked to Jim about the home game to see the Colts. Also talked about having a Christmas Party.

We need to get an order for the beer drinking gloves, cool present!!! Not sure who won the wet t-shirt contest. It was a tie. LMAO.

GO Ravens!!!!

Prez,

Larry

Terry Fator: On the Road Again features comedy, modern songs and favorites from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, hilarious musical parodies and Terry’s unique ventriloquism skills that have made him a must-see Las Vegas headline for the past 16 years. The puppet “cast” includes audience favorites country superstar Walter T. Airdale, Vikki the Cougar, Latin Lover Fernando V. Francisco, Terry’s annoying neighbor Duggie Scott Walker and Winston the Impersonating Turtle. Terry’s show features celebrity “guests”: Willie Nelson and Frank Sinatra. Bottom line, it’s a Music Hall of Fame roster of the greatest entertainers and their songs brought to the stage by master impressionist Terry Fator.

Funny Poop

A man meets a woman at a bar and asks her "Would you have sex with me for 10 million dollars?"

Without skipping a beat she screams "Yes!"

The man then asks "What about for $20?"

She looks at him sideways and says "What do you think I am, a whore?"

The man says "We've already established that you are, now we're just negotiating."

Etcetera
