Hangin’ with the Buds at the State Fish Pier

I have’nt seen the boy’s since winter. They’re getting Big. Unfortunately we lost a couple of buddies to the Homies.

What a coincidence, his name his JOEY!
I just wish he would eat healthier. All that grease isn't good for him.

Who gives a JOEY'S ASS!

Paul Frontiero’s Hostage Rock Has Been Sighted Around Town

A Memory Stick With These Photographs Was Dropped Off At GMG HQ This Morning.

the note attached reads-

“Our demands are simple and few.

For safe return of the hostage rock the following demands must be met.

  • two large coffees black with cream and splenda on the side
  • two ricotta cannoli without the nuts

I’d hate to see something terrible happen to the hostage rock Paul so please meet the unscrupulous kidnapper’s demands.

At least we know the rock is still safe

Patricia Osborn 2010 KAOS Seine Boat Crew Picture

Hi Joey-  I have a pretty great shot of the KAOS boat from the seine boat race at Fiesta 2010- and was wondering if you would be interested in posting it. I planned on printing it, etc. for a gift but then decided to share with the rest of Gloucester. If you decide to post it I assume my name will be associated with it? It’s a keeper.

–cheers

EASY ENOUGH!

THAT’S IT FOR THE HINTS.

Now the requirements;  You may have to Ask for the “ART ROCK” or you May Have to Find it. It’s up to them and they’re unpredictable. You must take a picture of you and them with the Rock. So have a camera ready. Or they may even have one.

GOODLUCK! GOODNIGHT! and Good Riddance.

When I saw this spider’s web at first I didn’t realize that all the tiny dots around the nest were teeny tiny baby spiders until I got right up on it with my camera.

Yes, he’s commonly known as a ‘Gloucester Rabbit’ in BrendaWorld.
It’s Lester the Lobster, already have baked and silly as they come!
Red antique quilt, Red pipe cleaner antennae, a silly face,
He is lightweight and can hang anywhere, and he even sports a hand created lobster bib complete with a tiny embroidered lobster!
Dapper and perfect for an evening out, he’s ready for the hot butter!
About 6" tall, backed with red felt, blanket stitched all around with red DMC embroidery floss, lovingly stuffed with new hypo allergenic fluff stuffing, and highly detailed. GREAT on the neck of a bottle of wine for a lobster bake hostess party!
Enjoy!
