Sea Serpent Captured and Skewered! From Fred Bodin

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Fred writes-

Since Gloucester had its own Sea Serpent, I thought it appropriate to post this news story from New Jersey. It’s a scary serpent-like monster, but not even close to the size of ours (or as good looking). This bloody photo went viral on the internet. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions and ID it in the comments box:

I wonder if Joey ever off-loaded one on the dock? Recipes?

What Is This Some Kind of Foreplay I Haven’t Heard About Yet?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

What kind of sadistic broad goes and whacks her mate to wake him up? 

I don’t even want to know what happens thirty seconds after the guy gains consciousness.   Like if you gotta resort to the whole whacking your mate in the face trick to get them aroused, you may as well give up sex, no?

Who does this?

Phyllis A From Bill Cox

Thanks again for all your support! Thought I’d send something in for the blog besides another fundraiser flyer and took some photos this past Saturday while we were doing some work.  I haven’t sent pictures in to you before so if there is something else you need me to do, just let me know!

I think I would title it: Even in the dead of winter, there is work being done on the Phyllis A.

Thanks and have a good one!
