I imagine they make the oars the same way today that they have for generations.

Dude With Funny Shorts At The Lone Gull 10K
Listen up folks. If you are a casual runner, and by casual runner I mean not a world class athlete, DON”T WEAR THESE SHORTS! You’ll look like a tool!
Let’s be honest for a minute. Do you really think the .000001 seconds in wind resistance speed you might pick up by wearing these ridiculous shorts is going to be worth how silly they make you look? It’s not like it may make the difference between you getting a Michael Phelps like endorsement deal from the Olympics. It’s the Lone Gull 10K for cripes sake.

Note: This is only directed at men. Hot chicks feel free to wear these at your will. I doubt anyone minds seeing your ass hang out as you trot along.
Thank you.

Sometimes I Wish I Weighed 250 Pounds
Let me explain.
Yesterday morning I stopped into Dunkies for a bagel at 4:45AM before work. I don’t normally stop for food in the morning but I just needed something to get me through the morning. Anyway, as I walked out of the doors there was a guy leaning up against his car and he flicked his spent cigarette to the ground right in front of me.
Is that not one of the most disgusting things you could do? It irritates me to no end when you catch someone doing it on the sly but this enraged me to think that I was right in front of this guy and he still decided it was alright to flick this thing right to the ground in front of me.
If I was a bigger dude I would have grabbed this guy by the scruff of the neck and forced his nose to within inches of that cigarette left laying on the ground and explained how wrong it is to litter.
Scumbag.

I really like this picture from Katherine Richmond. The light and shadows make for a great shot. I don’t know if it was intentional or not but in either case I dig it.
When the Gloucester Rower’s went up to Lunenburg for the Dory Races they went to Van Fancy’s Oar Making Shop. Here are a couple of examples of oars in various stages of finishing.

Doryworld Update From Jimmy T
International Dory Races Eliminations 8/23/08, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
“Schoonerfest: 2008” was a big success thanks to several of our
members. Curt Golrad and Peter Tarantino put in the day manning the IDRC
tent and sold many t-shirts. Visitors got challenged to “Arm wrestle the
Dory Rower for $50.00!” Several small children and one older woman beat
the Dory Rower but only received IDRC stickers as prizes. An exhibition
dory race took place between two members of the “Bluenose” crew against
a couple of our local Coast Guardsmen. Just like yesteryear, the
“Bluenose” crew beat the Americans soundly.
During the “Parade of Sails” an expert doryman put on a show for a
capacity crowd by placing the stern of his dory within 1/16th of an inch
of the Boulevard wall without hitting it, in a strong wind and heavy
sea. The doryman never received the $50.00 he offered to bet Joe Garland
(race announcer on the Boulevard).
Thanks to Erik Dombrowski for equipment and technical support.
Special thanks to Damon Cummings for logistics, setting flags, boat
maintenance, race coordination and public relations not just over the
weekend, but year round!
Representatives for the International race may pick up their $500.00
travel expense checks at the St. Peter’s Club Wednesday, Sept. 3rd,
between 5 p.m. and midnight, or call for other arrangements.
Keep stroking!

Inane Banter Guy At Pleasant St Tea Co Parts I and II
I get out of work last night and quickly run through Pleasant St Tea Company for a cup of Joe so I won’t fall asleep on my wife and girls as soon as I get home.
Grab an iced coffee to go and while preparing it at the coffee additive station (see this post about how I feel about coffee additive stations) this bananahead is slumped into the corner chair spouting off the most incredible line of bullshit which this young girl seemed to be buying into.
I was tempted to call him out on his ridiculousness but opted for the video outside which follows-
watch part I then II for the whole scoop
Good Morning Gloucester
