This photo of the Barnstable 4th of July parade was sent in by an anonymous reader simply labeled “This Guy”. Normally we wouldn’t just publish photos of random people simply because they have spectacular hair. But this hair is extra special.

We don’t like to start rumors or print anything about famous person sightings on The Cape unless they are backed with proof, so I am going to refrain from any commentary here. No way am I going to add any flame to the fire of unsubstantiated speculation with any jokes or insinuation.

I will however just leave this here for you to look at. Not because it is in any way related to the reader photo, only because it’s a cool pic that I’d thought I’d share.

If you have a photo that represents the Real Cape Cod please submit it below or use the link at the top of the page. From beautiful sunsets to drunken comedy and everything in between, we want to see what you see. (Author is optional)

Capecodonline.com – HYANNIS — On Saturday, the longest night of the year, Cape Codders will gather to remember the local members of the homeless population who died in 2013.

The memorial service for the homeless – part of the National Homeless Service Memorial Day – will be at 5 p.m. on the Hyannis Village Green, said Alan Burt, the organizer.

This will be followed by a 7 p.m. gathering in Cape Cod Covenant Church, 11 Satucket Road, Brewster, with volunteers who plan to sleep outside the church in tents.

This is the 10th year that Burt and about six to 12 others have braved the longest night of the year as a way to demonstrate “we understand, we care,” Burt said.

How about instead of a vigil you use those candles to light a fire to warm up the homeless people who are still alive? We don’t have vigils for the homed people who died in 2013, why do the homeless people get one? And you are going to sleep outside to show them that you understand?

How does it do homeless people one bit of good for you to sleep outside one night? If I’m homeless I’d much rather you let me sleep in your house one night than you sleeping in mine, but there’s no chance any one of these “volunteers” would ever let the guy who talks to the sidewalk sleep on their couch.

Sleeping outside and freezing your ass off to support homeless people is like supporting battered women by having your husband kick the shit out of you for one night. How does that help anyone?

Oh it demonstrates that “we understand, we care”? Really? You know what homeless people “understand and care” about? A fifth of Gin and a pack of Lucky Strikes. So pack up your shit and head to the liquor store if you really want to help, but don’t for a second trick yourself into thinking you made one bit of difference by sleeping in a sub zero sleeping bag inside of your EMS tent for one fucking night.

Capecodtoday.com – NORTH TRURO – A North Truro woman faces OUI charges following her arrest on Route 6 last night. According to a Truro police release, the department received a call about a motorist who was headed to Truro after refusing to stop following a crash in Provincetown.

Around 9 p.m., Officer Valli and Officer Robicheau responded, finding the heavily damaged car traveling south in the northbound lane of Route 6. Roads were slick at the time due to recent snow activity, police said.

Look, we need to use words like “allegedly” because this woman hasn’t been convicted of anything in court yet, but you’ve got to be pretty messed up on something to drive the wrong way on rte. 6 in Truro. If you want to travel north or south in Truro there is literally ONE ROAD to do it on. This move is akin to walking up the down escalator. You can be totally incapacitated and you still have a 50/50 chance of traveling south in Truro on the correct road.

Also what on earth is the point of “refusing to stop” following a crash in P-Town? Where the fuck are you going? In case we haven’t mentioned it there is ONE ROAD to get away. I guess that’s why she tried to get sneaky and outsmart everybody by using the northbound lane to travel south. Good try, good effort. Maybe next time you’ll luck out and the cop in Truro will have called in sick that day.

Daffy is missing. He is large friendly black duck. Large black ducks are not native so please contact me if you see one.

Question, are “missing” and “lost” the appropriate words here? I’m pretty sure Daffy isn’t missing or lost, Daffy flew away bro. Ducks don’t get lost, they have built in GPS and know where to eat, nest, get warm etc.

I think I figured out what is going on here when you said “large black ducks are not native”. This could be a Blind Side situation and some Cape Cod family adopted Daffy just to develop his football skills and get him to go to their alma mater.

Daffy isn’t missing, he probably just found out his adopted family wants him to go to Ole Miss, got pissed and left.

What the hell did we just watch? Was this video seriously made by “Expert Village”? Because that looked more like a village idiot. Do me a favor Texas boy, next time you are on The Cape ask your local bartender for “A Cape Cod” and let us know how that works out for you.

1.5 ounces of vodka? Half vodka and half Cranberry in a Pint Glass or you’re drinking a vodka and cranberry, not a Cape Codder.

Today I’m picking my top 5 Cape Cod songs. This was much harder than I expected, because there’s 685 million songs about our man made island. I had to exclude using any artist from here for this post, because every single one of them has written a song about growing up here. The best Cape Cod song by a local artist debate is a post for another time. So with out further or due… Drum roll please.

5. Cape Cod Cranberry Bog Working Song – By Little Bay Stampin’- I mean what says Cape Cod more than picking cranberries? All I know this guy better make sure my grandfather doesn’t see this video. Gramps and his old school Portagees would hunt this guy down and beat the bag out of him with their hand made canes for taking work from them. But I cant believe this song isn’t a huge hit yet with the deep lyrics and great melody. Remember you heard it here first when the radio stations are playing it every 45 minutes.

4. Old Cape Cod– by Patti Page – I know this isn’t what a lot of “us” like to have our beloved Cape Cod painted as , but it really captures the LOVE people have for this place. Patti can really sing though, what a beautiful song. Alright I’m not good at getting all sappy and shit. But overall a great song in my book.

3. Escape (Pina Colada Song) – Rupert Holmes – Call me a sell out if you want but this is my top 5, and ol’ Rupert has always had a special spot in my heart with this jam. Drinking, sex in the sand (watch out for the screaming seagull), and more drinking. It’s a hit with me.

2. Cape Cod Girls – Anonymous – If this old sea shanty doesn’t get you foot stomping and give you goose bumps you better check your heart beat. Not to mention it makes me want to grab a turkey leg and a pint and go get my pirate on. There have been hundreds of versions of this song done through the years all capturing the spirit of how the good old days were. Drinking and combing you hair with cod fish bones.

1. Bourne Bridge Parody – Tom Doyle – Not much to say here. Tom should have a statue built of him at both or all three bridges. Tom is a national treasure. The undisputed king of Cape Cod songs.

So there you have it. Let the debate begin.

*Editors Note: The debate Tony? There is no debate because this is the most Insane list any human has ever come up with for anything. Tony asked if I wanted to add my top five to this post. Ummm… no, I think I’ll just let this one stand on it’s own, thanks though Tony.
