Weekly Poop 6/24/2020



Roost #44 Poop
·         (Frank’s note: All items subject to change/cancellation)

·         From the Prez
Nothing new…stay safe.

·         Dates to Remember:
o    6/27/2020 – Summer Picnic
o    7/9/2020 – Monthly Roost Meeting
o    8/13/2020 – Monthly Roost Meeting
o    10/31/2020 – Bull/Oyster Roast
o    12/12/2020 – Christmas Party

·         Membership: We currently have 121 paid members.  Thanks all!

·         Wellness: Please call Marian Cicero @ 410.250.2501 or 443.880.0862 if you know of a Roost member in need of a message of encouragement or a sympathy card for a family member.  Please, no texts or emails.

·         House: As stated in the last three Poops, the Abbey Burger (which made an outstanding offer in the winter) has decided not to reopen in 2020 and will be evaluating 2021.  Our list of possible meeting venues has gotten shorter.  If considerations of social distancing continue on, then Denney's that was marginal before may now be off the list.  Alley Oops may now be marginal.

The Board of Directors met recently and recommended that any meetings we might have from now until the end of the season should be held at the American Legion.  They have been booked for May, June, July, August and Sept if they happen.

Voting for the "most of the time favorite" will of course be delayed and will likely include only the American Legion (available all year) and Alley Oops (off season only).  Others would likely be for emergencies only.  Our situation seems to be ever changing.

·         Scholarship Golf: I have listed below the Colleges our scholarship awardees will be attending this fall;

o    Kaylee Hall will be attending the University of Delaware, Newark, DE
o    Avery Congleton will be attending University of Mount Olive, Mount Olive, NC

o    Isabelle Kristick will be attending the University of Maryland, College Park, MD
o    Mikayla Denault will be attending Northwestern University, Evanston, IL

o    Abbi Nechay will be attending Monmouth University,  West Long Branch, NJ
o    Saylor McGuiness will be attending College of Charleston, Charleston, SC

Pictures will be forthcoming.  Thanks, Don

·         Penguin Swim:  Until further notice, the Penguin Swim fundraising activities have been put on hold.  Once it is safe to do so, we will start planning events.

·         Entertainment:
o    Entertainment meetings are suspended until further notice. 

Christmas party booked for 12/12 from 6 to 10.  Upcoming are Duckaneer Pirate ship mid-August, trip to Tangier Island, hopefully away trip to Houston, depending on date, pub crawl on Kent Island in May, crab feast in October and a bull/oyster roast/Halloween party on 10/31, Capitols game in fall.  We'll keep all posted on dates.

o    Shorebirds Game: The Shorebirds game has been postponed until NEXT YEAR!!

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 you can go here to stay up to date with all of the AFC North news.

·         Out and about and can’t watch the game?  You can listen to the Ravens on the radio! (I know, right?)  Go here: https://www.baltimoreravens.com/game-day/coverage for the list of affiliates.

·         Follow all the Orioles news on MASN here from columnist Roch Kubatko.

Local Poop
·         Monday & Tuesday - Drive-In Movies, Roland E. Powell Convention Center.  Looking for a fun and free event in Ocean City, Maryland?  Starting in mid-June, Ocean City will be offering free drive-in movies on Mondays & Tuesdays at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center!  This is an awesome experience for both residents and visitors to Ocean City.  The events provide entertainment while being mindful of physical distancing.

Funny Poop
·         Pete went into the doctor's office for his annual checkup, and the Doc asked if there was anything unusual he should know about.

So Pete told the Doc that his suit must have shrunk over the last year, because it didn't fit when he went to get ready for a wedding recently.

The Doc said, "Suits don't shrink just sitting in a closet. You probably put on a few pounds."

"That's just it, Doc, I know I haven't gained a single pound since the last time I wore it."

"Well, then," said Doc, "You must have a case of Furniture Disease."

"What in the world is Furniture Disease?" asked Pete.

"That's when your chest starts sliding down into your drawers.".

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.

Funny Poop 
  • Paddy took two stuffed dogs to the Antiques Roadshow.  "Ooh," said the presenter, "this is a very rare set produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers, taxidermists, who operated in London at the turn of the century.  Do you have any idea what they would fetch if they were in really good condition?"  "Sticks," said Paddy. 
  • A mortician was working late one night.  He examined the body of Mr. Bob, about to be cremated, and made a startling discovery.  Bob had the largest private part he had ever seen!  "I'm sorry Mr. Bob," the mortician commented, "but I can't allow you to be cremated with such an impressive private part.  It must be saved for posterity."  So he removed it, stuffed it in his briefcase, and took it home.  "I have something you won't believe" he said to his wife, opening his briefcase.  "My God!" the wife exclaimed.  "Bob is dead!"

 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
