Well kids, we hope you've enjoyed your final week of a bus free commute to work because as of Monday, that comes to an abrupt halt. School is back in session bright and early Monday morning, so buckle up. Between the school busses, kids on the road driving to school and the chaos that generally ensues the first week back to school, you may just want to call in sick. In the event you have to travel anywhere near Doherty High School let us suggest that you don't - stay home or find another way to wherever you're going or take my initial suggestion and don't go to work at all. Call in using the excuse that you're transportationally challenged. Here's what I've got...
Ghost Adventurers has nothing on the Kap girls, that includes Casey. The youngest and middle Kap kids were in Boston last weekend visiting their brother...well that was his first mistake. For starters, Sam went out leaving Casey alone with the Kap sisters and fell victim to their bad influences. They got bored. What happens when they get bored? Nothing good. They turned his apartment into a haunted arena with rigged up fake ghosts and downloaded creepy sound effects and voices to add to it which he did not find humorous upon his return home. Good chance they may not be invited back. I was going to include a picture of one of their ghost features, but it creeped me out. Instead, Exhibit 1, the three responsible for the ghost shenanigans.
2. Once again, a friend of The Antics Sue Burns, finds us a tid bit we have to share. Ducks – did anyone see this? There was a 30,000 lb, 61 foot tall rubber duck, the world’s largest as a matter of fact, named Mama, floating about in Calverton, Long Island. Mama Duck is reportedly a single Mom from Los Angeles who travels all around from city to city, in the water and on dry land, with her equally extra-large son Timmy. It’s reported that the idea of her was conceived after a night of drinking, and she’s been floating about ever since. Don’t believe me? Check out this link. Mama even has her own facebook page.
3. Saw this sign hung up on the telephone pole located near the exit of the Dunkin Donuts Drive Thru in Northboro. This person was not messing around. I was disappointed to see that the garage sale has already come and gone…I wanted to take a ride by to compliment this person on their creative marketing. Exhibit 2, garage sale marketing at its best.
4. Ventured into the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston last weekend to see The Indigo Girls and Melissa Ethridge with one of our well-known celebrities of The Antics, Beet. Fun was had by all, no one got in any trouble despite what Sue Miller expected. Age and wisdom has straightened us out.
5. We've got a new restaurant in Tatnuck Square called Gyros and Souvlaki. It's located where Roots & Press used to be on Chandler Street. Here's what I want to know. I ordered the Chicken Gyro. The menu states that with each sandwich comes an order of fries. Awesome. Much to my surprise when picking up our order, getting it home and sitting down to eat it, the fries, were wrapped up with the gyro. Holy hell, I didn't know what to do. Do you eat the gyro with the fries as one? Do you take the fries out and eat them separate? If you're going to eat the fries while they're part of the sandwich, what do you do if you want ketchup on the fries? How do you do that without the ketchup getting mixed up with the Tzatziki sauce? No one wants ketchup mixed in with that, or do they? Those in the Kap house who partook in this feast ate their fries as one with their gyro, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Either way, it was all delicious. Check them out.
Exhibit 3, my Chicken Gyro and fries.
6. What in the fresh hell is this??? As my cousin Glenn has said, the robots are taking over. As if we as a society can't get any lazier, something else comes up that only shows me that sooner or later not only will we not have to leave the house for anything ever again, but our brains can go to complete mush and that'll be okay because these Artificial Intelligence programs will keep the world running. I was in the movies a few weeks ago and saw a pre movie ad for an AI program that was going to help an elementary aged kid write a letter to her Olympic hero. The ad went on and on about how this AI program was going to write the letter for her. Well, why bother??? Then I see this, Exhibit 4. I'd like to see an Artificial Intelligence program come up with all the nonsense I do and write the Antics for me...no way, it can't be done.
7. Robots again. The middle kid was in a local Stop & Shop minding her own business when up behind her in an aisle, she sees this guy. Admittedly this is not a picture of the exact robot guy who was questioning her in Stop & Shop because she did what any smart person would do when approached by a robot, she ran. After running for her life, she recognized the error in her ways and that she had failed The Antics, by not getting photographic proof of the robot in question. She went online and found this, Marty the robot who apparently has started to become a standard feature/employee of Stop & Shop's near and far. Here's my public service announcement...stay away from me Marty, or I'm ripping those googly eyes of yours right off your face. Exhibit 5, Marty the Stop & Shop robot
8. Here's an event I can get behind, Granny Fest 2024. You read right kids, Granny fest, and this event is not for the weak. This event takes place at Weaber Speedway in Celina TN. As the pictures will show, this event involves stunts performed by local Grandma's on their motorized scooters. Only stipulations to participate is that the Granny and motorized scooter be in good health and in good working order. I'm not sure what's better, the pictures of the Granny's participating in the event, or the commentary from whoever is in charge of their facebook page. He or she may need some help with their spelling, but when comments are that good no one cares if you can spell. I think we need to start rounding up some of our more nimble clients of ESW to partake in a local event such as this one. Exhibit 6, Granny's Gone Wild...We can thank Tristan for finding this tid-bit.
9. We have added new decor to the front gate of the Kap house in hopes that we will once again start receiving our packages. Exhibit 7
10. In this week's episode of have we all completely lost our minds....has anyone seen this? Vegan hot dogs. When I hear about vegan hot dogs, I'm thinking something made out of tofu or some other kind of concoction, not a hot dog that is actually a carrot. Let me tell you something right now. Just because you throw a carrot on the grill, stick it in a bun, and smother it in all the glorious toppings that belong on a hot dog, does not make it a hot dog, it's still a carrot. Someone hands me a carrot hot dog at a cookout and I'm punching them right in the face.
And last but not least. Whether you're at a cookout this weekend and someone's trying to disguise a carrot for a hot dog or you're out watching your Granny pop wheelies on their motorized scooter, we hope you enjoy yourselves.
Have a great weekend!
