- 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

Funny Poop
- A man took a trip out West after a harrowing divorce proceeding. He stopped in a bar, and after a few drinks, stated to no one in particular, "Lawyers are horses' asses." One of the locals spoke up on hearing this said, "Mister, you'd better watch what you say. You're in horse country."
- Teacher: "Kids, what does the chicken give you?"
Student: "Meat!"
Teacher: "Very good! Now what does the pig give you?"
Student: "Bacon!"
Teacher: "Great! And what does the fat cow give you?"
Student: "Homework!"

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
