57 T-Bird with Blue Hawaiian Plates
We had this friend in college named Lloyd who used to try to order a drink called a "57 Chevy with Blue Hawaiian Plates" every time we went out. Of course no bartender or waitress had ever heard of it. It was probably some special house drink of some local bar back home in Florida. Like did he even know what was in it? No,of course not. Besides if you have to give the recipe to the bartender it kind of spoils the experience anyway. Lloyd was always doing crazy things. He was a bit like Kramer on Seinfeld. If it wasn't watching the rats in the dumpster 13 floors below his dorm room with binoculars he was hatching up some crazy idea or another. Next time I'm down at the Dry Dock in Southwest Harbor maybe I'll ask Jeanine for a "7 Chevy with Blue Hawaiian Plates" as a tribute to goofy Lloyd. I wonder what every happened to him...

Whoopie Pies Vs. Oreos
It just occurred to me that an Oreo cookie is nothing more than a dehydrated whoopie pie.

Brown Paper Jake
A sheriff walks into a saloon, and shouts for everyone's
attention. "Has anyone seen Brown Paper Jake?", he asks.
"What's he look like?", asks one shoddy looking cowboy.
"Well", replies the Sheriff. "He wears a brown paper hat,
a brown paper waistcoat, a brown paper shirt, brown paper
boots, brown paper pants, and a brown paper jacket."
"So what's he wanted for?", asks the same cowboy.
"Rustlin'...", replies the Sheriff.

Big Hat, No cattle
A lady goes into a bar and sees a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He has the biggest feet she's ever seen. The woman asks the cowboy if it's true what they say about men with big feet.
The cowboy says, "Sure is, why don't you come back to my place and let me prove it?"
The woman figures why not, and spends the night with him. The next day, she hands the cowboy a $100 bill. Blushing, he says, "I'm flattered, nobody has ever paid me for my prowess before."
To this the woman says, "Well don't be, take this money and go buy some boots that fit!"

The Story of Chico
A cowboy lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh
Ellen Theater. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to
the cowboy, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat."
The cowboy groaned but didn't budge.
The usher became more impatient: "Sir, I don't care if you're drunk- if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager."
Once again, the cowboy just groaned. The usher marched briskly back up the
aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager. Together the two of
them tried repeatedly to move the cowboy, but with no success.
Finally they summoned the police. The local sheriff surveyed the situation briefly
then asked, "All right buddy, what's your name?"
"Chico," the cowboy moaned.
"Where ya from, Chico?" asked the sheriff.
With pain in his voice Chico replied,. . . . . . "The balcony."

Three cowboys...
Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire, out on a lonesome Texas prarie, each with the bravado for which cowboys are famous. A night of tall tales begins.
The first one says, "I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day a bull got loose in the corral and gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns with my bare hands."
The second cowboy can't stand to be bested. "Why that's nothing. I was walking down the trail yesterday and a fifteen-foot rattlesnake slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off and sucked the poison down in one gulp. And I'm still here today."
The third cowboy remained silent, silently stirring the coals with his hands.

A cowboy's last wish...
A cowboy is riding across the plains of the old west, when he is captured by Indians. The tribe puts him on trial for crimes against the Indian Nation, and he is found guilty.
"You have been sentenced to death," said the Chief, "but, as is our custom, you have three wishes to make as your last requests."
The cowboy thought for a minute and said, "Well, for my first wish, I'll need my horse."
"Give him his horse," said the Chief.
The cowboy whispered something into the horse's ear, and the horse took off like a shot across the prairie. Twenty minutes later, the horse returned with a beautiful blonde woman on its back. The cowboy looked at this, shrugged his shoulders, and helped the young lady off the horse. He then took her into the woods and had his way with her.
"Second wish," said the Chief.
"I'll need my horse again," said the cowboy.
"Give him his horse," said the Chief.
Once again, the cowboy whispered into the horse's ear, and once again the horse rode off over the prairie. Thirty minutes later, the horse returned with a beautiful brunette on its back.
The cowboy looked up and shrugged, helped the young lady off the horse, and went into the woods, same reason as before.
"This is your last wish," said the Chief, "make it a good one."
"I'll need my horse again."
"Give him his horse," said the Chief.
The cowboy grabbed each side of the horse's head, and put his face right up to the horse's.
"I said POSSE!"

Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before...
cowboy: "Did you hear that they are making round hay bales illegal in Montana?"
city slicker: "No, why is that?"
cowboy: "Because the cows weren't getting a square meal."

Singh Pier Update: Abutters decide against pier plan appeal
Abutters decide against pier plan appeal
by Mark Good
TREMONT — Abutting landowners will not appeal a planning board decision allowing developer Pritam Singh to build a 305-foot-long pier and float project on Seal Cove.
Sylvia Constable, who with other members of the Paine family, opposed construction of the pier, said Tuesday they also are dropping an appeal to the Maine Board of Environmental Protection asking for reconsideration of a permit for the project granted under the Department of Environmental Protection’s permit-by-rule process.
“Litigation is so expensive,” Ms. Constable said in citing her decision not to appeal.
During a public hearing on the issue, Mr. Singh said he would put the 23-acre Cape Road property into a conservation easement and limit any development to a family compound with six houses, Ms. Constable noted.
“We hope we can hold him to that,” she said.
Disappointed by approval of the pier, she remains philosophical about the outcome.
“Any decision of this sort comes down to a compromise,” she said.
Although the Paine family is no longer making a legal challenge, the pier project could still face an appeal by other parties. A town ordinance allows any aggrieved party to appeal a planning board decision within 30 days of that decision. In this case, the window for appeal ends July 21.
Planning board chairman George Urbanneck said this week that he is unaware of any efforts to appeal approval of the pier.
The June 21 decision by the planning board came nearly five months after the project was first presented.
The project became controversial in the town after the original applicant, Rob Egbert, was linked to the Singh Company, a Florida-based development firm. Opponents claimed the pier would despoil one of the remaining pristine landscapes in Tremont. They were also worried that the project could be detrimental to wildlife and affect lobster fishing in the area.
Another factor was a worry that the company had plans for a large condominium project on the property. As a result, the approval process was marked by legal challenges and fiery rhetoric from both sides.
Taxpayers will bear some of the legal costs. To date, the town has received one invoice from town attorney Chad Smith for work done by his firm on the pier application, according to town bookkeeper Debbie Nickerson. The bill for the period from Feb. 16-22 is $1,508, she said. Other bills are expected.
Legal costs associated with the pier are coming from the planning board budget, which for the 2004-2005 fiscal year was set at $8,250.
