Devil’s Purse Brewery In Dennis Is Brewing Its First Batch Of Beer

I don’t know about you, but when I look at this picture I get so excited I can feel it down in my plums. A new brewery on Cape Cod doesn’t exactly happen everyday, so when it does I’ll keep shamelessly posting about it until someone offers me one or two (hundred) of the first batch.

Cape Cod Virtual Yard Sale Ad Of The Day – Grandma’s Ashes

yard sale urn

I probably would have offered a discount for orphans, but other than that this seems pretty legit. Gotta do what you gotta do to expand your Richard Simmons collection.

As with every joke post on CCVYS, the best part is the people with a touch of Aspergers getting all serious in the comments. Like this dude…

yard sale comment

Imagine going through life so blind that you can’t tell that this ad is a joke? I’m not one to fear monger, but people with no sense of humor scare the ever loving shit out of me. We should really implant sarcasm detectors into these people when they’re babies, kinda like we do with GPS microchips in puppies, or one day they are going to take over the world and paint the sky gray.

Cape Official Indicted On Three More Counts Of Larceny From Disabled Veterans

disabled veterans

CapeCodTimes.com – A former corporate officer of the Cape Cod chapter of Disabled American Veterans Inc. is facing additional larceny charges, according to a press release issued by Attorney General Maura Healey.

Richard Trott Sr., 64, of East Sandwich was indicted Thursday by a Barnstable County Grand Jury on three counts of larceny of more than $250 by continuous scheme. He is scheduled to be arraigned April 6.

“This defendant allegedly abused his position and stole tens of thousands of dollars from an organization that assists disabled veterans and their families,” Healey said in a prepared statement. “We cannot allow these kinds of acts to undermine the good work organizations like these do to help our veterans.”

The new charges follow an indictment a year ago. In January of 2014, Trott pleaded not guilty to allegedly stealing $125,000 of the organization’s money between 2009 and 2011.

A follow up investigation showed Trott allegedly diverted funds from the DAV accounts into other veterans organizations controlled by him, including Disabled Veterans Association of Cape Cod and the Islands and withdrew thousands of dollars of those funds for his personal use, according to Healey’s office.

We wrote about this guy back in early December when he was first indicted and I have to say we were a little surprised by the response. I would have thought this would cause some serious outrage. Our articles about oyster thieves and diddlers get thousands of shares and comments but you know how many the original article about “Tricky” Dick Trott Sr. got? THREE.

What’s up with that? Does nobody care about disabled veterans? I would have thought stealing from them would be kinda frowned upon. We were all ready to declare this guy Cape Cod enemy #1, but I guess stealing from people who were injured fighting for their country isn’t nearly as important as whether a dress is blue or white?

Who knows, maybe the original story was overshadowed by something else. Either way, there is still time. Does anyone else think that “Tricky” Dick Trott Jr. belongs in the Cape Cod Hall of Shame?

Sandwich Police – A Male subject, image included, entered CVS Pharmacy (Quaker Meeting House) on 02/07/2014 at approximately 19:20 hours. The subject walked around several aisles while placing crest white strips into a CVS basket. Subject exited the store taking $406.95 worth of dental products.

This dude either has the whitest teeth on planet earth, or he’s planning on going to England and becoming the Robin Hood of bad teeth. Either way he needs to be found and locked up. You have to be a raving lunatic to put that much of an effort into stealing teeth whitener. Dude, a dentist, ever hear of it?

These Nantucket “Slurpee Waves” Are The Best Thing To Come From This Winter

StayWildMagazine.com – Dang! Have you ever seen waves get so cold they turn to slurpee? We haven’t. So when surfer/photographer/Stay Wild contributor Jonathan Nimerfrohshowed us these sweet shots he captured in Nantucket we had to share.

When we asked Jonathan what the fawk this was all about he said, “Just been super cold here. The harbor to the main land is frozen solid. No boats running.But yea, the day after I took these it actually froze up the shoreline for 200 yards out. Solid ice. I was totally tripping when I pulled up to the beach and saw this.”

CLICK HERE for the rest of the photos

Ok, that’s it, this shit isn’t funny anymore. We give up Mother Nature, call off your dogs. When waves in the open ocean start freezing on Nantucket it’s time to throw in the towel. I thought we were looking at still shots from Rudolph. When I was scrolling through the photos I kept half expecting the next one to have the Abominable Snowman hanging ten.

Falmouth Man Arrested While Getting A Haircut At A Barbershop

barbershop

CapeNews.net – Mr. Averett was getting his hair cut at Andy’s Barber Shop in Falmouth Plaza when he was arrested. He was wanted on a Falmouth District Court warrant for disturbing the peace, vandalizing property, assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and multiple drug charges.

We have a staunch record of defending the police on this site, but this is inhumane treatment. You’ve gotta let a dude finish getting his hair cut before you arrest his ass. Americans have some inalienable rights and I’m pretty sure the right to not walk around with half a haircut is one them (or if not, it should be). Arrest him when the cape comes off, at the register, on the way out, whenever, but at least wait until the man gets his neck cleaned up, that’s what sets us apart from the animals for christ’s sake.

This incident got us thinking about other everyday tasks that it’s wrong to arrest someone during. Here is the top 5…

  1. Taking a shit
  2. Taking a shower
  3. Having sex
  4. Getting a haircut
  5. Drinking in public

I admit that #5 may be a bit of a stretch, but it was worth a shot. Let’s just call it artistic license.
