Wild Adventures in the OBX

This past weekend, the Arana's, Dewey's and Durkin's ventured to Oregon Inlet in the Outerbanks. We loaded up 3 vehicles and headed south. Nutz cooked ribs on his beach grill and the food was enjoyed by all! To see the pics, go here.

We're planning another trip down before the summer ends. If interested, let us know.

Bullets fly at the OV Shooting Club

More fun in Hogans Alley!

A Norfolk Police Officer shot a man early Friday morning in Ocean View.
At this time, the man is still alive at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
Authorities say that someone called police to report a domestic disturbance in the 100 block of D-View Avenue (This is near Hogans Alley) just before 1:00. (yep i heard 5-oh go rocketing by casa del N&C) The caller said the man had a gun. (mi amigo es loco con un grande arma!)
When officers arrived they confronted the armed man outside the home. One officer fired two shots. At least one bullet hit the man.
Paramedics were called and the man was taken to the hospital with injuries that were reported to be life threatening.
The officers responding to the call were not injured.

Bottom line dont screw with the cops.. they will put a cap in your @$$!
Thanks for keeping us Safe...

Thanks to WTKR for this article...

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

Most Functional English Word

Thanks to my cousin in FL for this one...

The Most Functional English Word
HOPE THIS MAKES YOU SMILE THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD

Well, it's shit ... that's right, shit! Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.

Consider:

You can get shit-faced, Be shit-out-of-luck, Or have shit for brains.

With a little effort, you can get your shit together, find a place for your shit, or be asked to shit or get off the pot.

You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit.

Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference between shit and shineola.

There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits.

There is bull shit, horse shit, and chicken shit.

You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the shit hits the fan.

You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle.

You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit.

Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days are just plain shitty.

Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit.

You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit.

You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle.

Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language. And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else!! You could pass this along, if you give a shit; or not do so if you don't give a shit!

Well, Shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give a shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit. But, if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit-head...........Well, Shit Happens!!!

Dinner and a date!

I am the worlds luckiest guy. Every night, for the most part, I can dine with two gorgeous women. Now if one was blond that would be even better... Tonight we had a good spread that Crackerz found in some white trash magazine. Sauteed mushrooms, onions, chicken and pasta. Seasoned with a little rosemary. Our beverage tonight was a bottle of Fat Bastard Chardonnay. I was quite impressed with this $9 bottle from Ghetto Fresh. Light and crisp with very little after taste. I will purchase this quality item again.

Scrolling Total!!!

Hey we picked a date for the next bash.... Now all we have to do is raise some coin!!

Check the Google calendar for the plan in September!!

And by the way I figured out how to create a marquee if you will. I think I might be a little too geeky for my own good!

To Kill an American.....

You probably missed it in the rush of news last week, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is . So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)"
An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim.In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.
An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.
An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return. When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.
Americans welcome the best of everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least. The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.

New taco night link...

If you scroll down the right side of the screen, you will see a "Donate" button from pay pal.. We aint skeerd of the future but we aint no idiots either.. Anyhow for the next "taco night" bash we are going to raise $100 to help offset some of the costs.. If you think about it... That comes down to about $2 per person... Yes, that many adults do show up for a taco night blow out. So whip out the plastic, give pay pal a go and I will figure out a way to put a running total scroll bar across the top of this thing.... Maybe our next taco night will be in August??
