Women Priests

So you heard about the three women in Boston who want to be ordained as priests.
~
Who do they think they are anyway???
~
Women aren't qualified to be Catholic Priests. They can't love God as well as men. They can't preach the Gospel as well as men. They can't distribute the Sacraments as well as men.
~
It should be obvious to everyone.
~
Just as the Pope and Cardinals are cleaning up the mess of all of the male Priests diddling with children, these pretentious women think that they are qualified to be Priests. I don't blame the Pope for excommunicating these sacrilegious bitches. They should go to Hell for thinking they are good enough to be Priests.
~
By the Way, Pope.... Galileo was right. The Earth actually rotates the Sun. You were wrong on that one. But you're right on target with this one. Make sure that you keep these uppity women out of the Priesthood. Keep it pure.

Working on Saturday

I'm working today because tomorrow we are taking the WhaleEye up the Annisquam River in Gloucester with Will and Linda Murray, and Monday, we will be driving up the coast of Maine for a Coast Guard site kickoff.
~
So I won't have too much office time in the next few days, and the details really pile up fast. If you don't keep pace, you can be buried in paper easily. I hate to do office work on Saturday and Sunday, but I guess if you fish on Friday, it's only fair.
~
Joanne and I will probably spend the night in Bar Harbor, ME and tour Acadia National Park on Tues. This Coast Guard gig is not too tough to take ... between trips to Nantucket and Bar Harbor. I hope we win the job on Block Island, because I've never been there before.

Peeps of the Week - 29

It really feels like mid-summer doesn't it?? I was slepping around on site surveys yesterday and could feel the heat. It would probably help if I was a little bit better in shape.

ANNOUNCING....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 29th week of 2008

Ben Martin
Bob Wojcik
Tommy O' Shea
Jon Bercume
Bob Brown (Automatic Lagavulin Rule)
Pat Piscatelli

I doubt if I'll have the time to Treadmill or Cybex today.

Stalking Stripers

We will be hunting the elusive Striped Bass this afternoon with some worthy Peeps on the WhaleEye.
~
I've got some frozen pollack and mackerel from the last trip, which I will cut up for chucks, and we'll head out to Half Way Rock to dip for live liners.
~
Then we will dead head for the back side of Cat Island where stripers like to hang out in the gut. That's where we will stake our luck. I'm thinking there's a few thirty six inchers who will be giving it up for the WhaleEye.

Economy

I've now lived in my professional life through a few of these economic downturns.
~
It always seems to have some roots in easy credit, then when things tighten up, the assumptions that you made when obtaining the credit dissolve leaving you holding the bag. When you are riding high, it's hard to imagine that it can turn... but it can!!
~
Unless you are borrowing for income producing assets, credit can be a dangerous thing. I feel bad for people facing foreclosure, and those looking to invest in foreclosed properties deserve all of the bad karma that they receive.

Bonus Good Time

Joanne and I brought some Nanepashemet Telecom customers to the Boston Yacht Club last night for drinks and dinner. Usually, I pretend to have a good time at these customer activities, but last night, the good time was for real.
~
What a bonus!

Well bully fer you, Admiral Crotchrot, and yer yacht club jerk off party. I figger this plain folk will wine and dine with my clientelists at Red Lobster on Rowt 142, and retire to Hooters for an after supper round of shooters and boobies with the spray on tan. No economic down turn for thems at Hooters.

Tournament Results

All day long, people kept asking me how I golfed yesterday at the Salem State Tournament with Tommy O.
~
First things first.
~
Tommy got through the whole day without a single kidney stone..... That was a relief!!
~
The Kernwood Country Club in Salem is a nice track - very well maintained with fairways that aren't too long and generally open wide.
~
I actually had a good day. My bad back held up, and I shot three Pars including one Birdie attempt..( which I then three putted into a Double Bogy).
~
My crusher driver skills returned and I generally kept straight onto the fairway with only one miss hit. Our last hole was a Par 3 that awarded a Chevy hybrid ugly car for a hole in one. I parred the hole and then tried to bribe the Salem State Honor students to say it was a winner hole in one. They maintained their integrity, even though I raised the ante to $40 bucks.
~
All in all... A golf round that I had anticipated with considerable dread turned into an enjoyable day. Only lost two balls..... Maybe I can golf after all. At least, not suck as much.

Stephan's Ginger Beer Difference

Wojcik and Brown graced the gazebo of the Boston Yacht Club yesterday.... and had their first Dark and Stormies
~
There were no incidents and my membership remains in good standing.
~
We ran into Chris Crawford, MegaPeep Brian Butler and the Fabulous Stacey, who is due to bring a new Nanepashemet Peep into the world by the end of the summer. Can't wait for that to happen, even though we don't want the summer to end too fast. What a conundrum!
~
They make the Dark and Stormies at the BYC with Stephan's Ginger Beer, rather than Barrett's. Stephan's is just a little more pungent and the Two Bob's may have found it to be a bit too strong for their delicate sensibilities.
~
But they both toughed it out... each having two before retiring back to the WhaleEye for some more of the Lagavulin that Brown so thoughtfully brought.
~
Tomorrow, I agreed to play in the Salem State College Golf Tournament on behalf of the Salem Waterfront Hotel. Mike Rockett sent over a highest quality Footjoy shirt, Jacket and Umbrella. Doesn't he remember that I suck at Golf??? Truly SUCK!!!
~
At least I'll be looking good, but that goes without saying.

Cruise gets Stoned

So we plan a nice evening harbor cruise with Tommy O and his lovely wife Linda, and what happens???
~
Tommy gets a freaking kidney stone!
~
Just because he's doubled over in pain, we have to return to the Village Landing.
~
Wouldn't you think that he could tough it out??? I mean.... how bad can a little kidney stone hurt anyway?
~
Regardless of the nuisance, I swiftly brought him to the dock and cancelled the night's festivities. I can be the bigger man. Then, just to rub it in, Tommy gets rushed to the Salem Hospital Emergency Room.
~
The nerve of some people!
~
I hope he's alright though.

POTW Week 28 - The Reinstatement

Once again, Bobby Brown has shown us why he is such a Mountain of a MAN, a Man Among Boys, Massive against the Mediocre Marginals.
~
No one.... I mean NOBODY!!!.... Not One of you Pathetic Peeps picked up the fact that I neglected to pick the POTW's last week..... except for our man, Bobby Brown.
~
It wasn't a test. I really screwed up, what with the Thurs wind down for the Friday Fourth of July holiday. I'm not making an excuse.... just stating a fact. I blew it.
~
But none of you noticed. So who's more pathetic... me or you Peeps????
~
Bobby Brown excluded of course.
~
For once, I feel like what it must feel to be one of you. OH MY GOD!!!

ANNOUNCING....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 28th week of 2008

John Shaw
DeAnna Pappas
Chris Crawford
Bob Brown
Pete Endres
Parker Sides

What a shock to my system!.. It will take a while to recuperate.

Jesse's Open Mike

Has anybody ever stuck his foot in his mouth more that the Rev. Jesse Jackson?
~
Calls New York "Hymietown", wants to cut Barack's Nuts off!!!!
~
Everybody has their private, gutteral remarks that they don't really mean. Our prayer is that they don't bubble to the surface.
~
I've said crude things that I didn't truly believe, just to get a reaction or laugh, and I've seen those close to me do the same. But I don't propose to speak on behalf of a segment of the American political spectrum.

For a guy like Jackson, who always tries to hog the moral high ground, it has to be especially embarrassing to have his private comments exposed.
~
Guaranteed... He'll get caught again.

Tuna Lips said...

Such concernations is for the hypocrite types out there. TL lets it fly, and doeth thereby take the moralizin' high ground to which naamby paamby dreamers like Jessie only claim. I am on the peak, with my rod and my staff!

I aint got no fruitcake rainbow symboyl, but I have a dream myself.

Great Barrier Reef Crisis

I'm sitting here watching some cable show about a type of starfish that is sucking the life out of the Great Barrier Reef coral in Australia.
~
Excuse me, but I just don't give a shit.
~
Sorry, but I can't worry about everything. If the coral gets screwed up, I can live with it.
~
I think I care more about who the Bachelorette chose for her Soulmate than the Great Barrier Reef. That's how bad I don't give a shit.
