Drugs Blah Blah Arrested Blah Addicted Blah Blah Blah Cape Cod

heroin

Every Story I Read – This is not a real excerpt from a news source. I was going to do yet another post about people getting arrested for drugs on Cape Cod and being all around idiots. Then I realized something. Maybe I should write this one from a different angle.

Another post about how everyone is on drugs? Nope. I am sick of writing about this shit.

Cape Cod is a hotbed for heroin? Everyone on The Cape is addicted?

Well where is it all? To read the news you’d think everyone here is strung out.

But I look out my window and I hear birds chirping. I see people laughing. Sunsets setting. If drugs define us then I don’t know us.

It seems like bad news is the only news these days. What about the rest of it?

What about the beautiful lady who smiled at me at the store today? What about the dude who held the door for me and said that it was “his pleasure”? Where is that guy’s headline?

Oh I forgot, they are all addicted to something.

Why do we talk about the  fuck ups everyday? They aren’t at dinner with us. They aren’t picking up your kids from school because you had to work late, but someone did, and they weren’t on drugs.

But we should be talking about them you say? These addicts. They are our brothers and our sisters.

We should love them. Help them. The Real Cape is about not judging them and doing the best we can for them.

That’s cool. I dig that.

But if we are going to do that, then let’s do it for everyone. I hate that news is always bad news, and I realized I’m part of the problem. So this post isn’t going to be about all the problems on The Cape. This post isn’t for the douche bags.

This post is for the girl that had to decide between food and heat because she fell in love with one of them and thought he’d stick around.

This post is for the guy that quietly takes care of his family and another family because someone else won’t.

This post is for the teacher that takes an extra minute with some kid because nobody else will.

This post is for the coach that works with a kid after practice because he sees something in him.

This post is for the kid that told his friends to lay off another kid they were giving shit to because he could tell he’d had enough.

This post is for the police officer that gave a kid a ride home instead of ruining his life.

This post is for the town selectman that voted for a teen center.

This post is for the people that never get posts written about them.

This post is for the good people.

This post is for you.

Barnstable Patch Video: How to Make A Perfect Grilled Cheese (If You’re A Douche)

 

 
From Barnstable Patch

Listen Stuart I’m going to give you a pass here because you are Irish so you probably don’t have much experience with Italian sandwiches. You didn’t make a grilled cheese sandwich bro, you made a fucking panini. Grilled cheese is grilled cheese for a reason and one of them is that it doesn’t take two hours to prepare.

Grilled cheese is a sacred part of being one of or a combination of these things:

1. camping
2. tailgating
3. drunk
4. stoned
5. hungover
6. lazy
7. broke

All that crap you added to yours doesn’t jive with anything on that list. Your sandwich looks delicious, but calling it a grilled cheese is like calling a french pastry a pop tart. Sure I’d love one but I’m in my pajamas at 3 o’clock in the afternoon for a reason you fancy prick, and it’s not because I’m oozing with ambition.

P.S. You haven’t had a grilled cheese until you’ve bought one from a wook with dreadlocks named turtle on lot at the end of a three night run with the only $2 left to your name. If you understood that sentence then you know what I’m talking about.

UFO Crash In Dennisport!

nuforc

From The National UFO Reporting Center

Reported: 11/26/2013 5:52:08 PM 17:52
Posted: 12/2/2013
Location: Dennisport, MA
Shape: Disk
Duration: We heard a sound, then a colorfful object shot out the sky. The object was a disk with green, red, yellow, blue and purple.

While walking up my stairs, me and my friend heard a sound like airplane crashing. We looking towards the trees, and noticed a red and yellow light. My friend believed it was a airplane.

We waited a few seconds, and the light got bigger, then we relived it was not a plane because it was a also green, blue, and purple.

When the light got closer, the street lights helped us make out the shape of the object. It was a sideways disk.

As i went to take my phone out the object made a loud sound and shot to the ground.

For such a young website we sure have solved quite a few mysteries around here. First we proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that ghosts exist. Now we dig up irrefutable proof that UFO’s are real. We are just shaking the investigative journalism world to its foundation with these finds. Be warned if you live in Dennisport, it looks like the aliens chose your town to land in over every other place in the world.

Just so you know this isn’t my first run in with a UFO story. I have a couple of friends who saw a UFO once, but after an exhausting investigation we realized that they were just tripping their balls off on acid and watching P-Funk videos. Come to think of it that might explain this Dennisport sighting as well, the two reports are eerily similar.

Hyannis Men Arrested After Transporting Stolen Flat Screen TV In A Taxi – Yes… A Taxi

flat scree

BPD – On Monday December 9, 2013 at 2:30 a.m. Barnstable Police Officers were dispatched to the International Inn at 662 Main St. in Hyannis to investigate a suspicious person that had been dropped off by a taxi cab in possession of a possibly stolen flat screen television.

The Yarmouth Police Department was investigating a possible breaking and entering in their town and had received information that a male was picked up in a cab and transported to the International Inn with the television.

These dudes were charged with a slew of other things besides the TV. Click the link to read all about it if you want but we really need to discuss the matter at hand. Who transports a stolen flat screen TV in a cab? To a hotel?

I decided the best way to rationalize this would be to list off all the different reasons that a person would bring a flat screen TV to a hotel in cab. Maybe it’s not as suspicious as one would think? Maybe just because nobody I know would ever do it, that doesn’t mean some other people don’t do it on the regular.

So I asked a bunch of other people for their input and began assembling the list. Here it is, the definitive list of every single possible reason on earth that a person would transport a flat screen television to a hotel in a taxi.

1. They stole it

Design Contest – Truro Needs A New Logo

truro

CCT – Designers, artists and other historically minded folks are invited to submit a design for the Truro Historical Society’s logo contest.  The society’s board members put out the call this week for designs for an official logo.

The designer of the winning logo will receive a prize of $250. The newly chosen official logo will be used to brand all Truro Historical Society merchandise including t-shirts and baseball caps.

Designs may be submitted electronically in either PDF or JPEG format to [email protected]. Designs may not exceed 8″x8″ in size. Designs must be emailed, mailed (Truro Historical Society, PO Box 486, Truro, MA 02666) or delivered to the Cobb Archive at 13 Truro Center Road in Truro by 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5, 2014.

Is this normal? Do towns usually just have an open invite for any Tom, Dick and Harry to design their logo? We were thinking of having a logo contest for The Real Cape but we didn’t want to be too bush league about it so I was thinking this is odd for a town. Then I realized something, there is a chance that not one graphic designer lives in Truro. So then I looked up the population of Truro.

2,087… TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTY SEVEN! Holy shit.

I knew Truro was small, but I had no idea it was that small. 5 times the amount of people that live in Truro will visit this website today. Truro has the same population as Barnstable High School. So yeah, do you Truro. Will someone with some skills please help out our brethren to the north with a new logo? Maybe a P-Town artist can help them out. Remember, without the wrist there can’t be a fist.

P.S. Does anyone from Truro read this? If so I have a question, can you get a pizza delivered to your house? I just don’t think I could live without that option.
