Sometimes we get so bogged down and desensitized by the grind of daily life that we forget to look at our surroundings. It’s nice to take a few minutes every once in a while to remind yourself that you get to spend every day in a place that many people only hope to visit once in their lives.

Take a minute to remember with a few cool videos of the place you call home…

The northeast domination by Dunkin’ Donuts is no surprise, but what the hell is going on here Cape Cod?

Really? The Double Mocha CappaLatteChino Grande has taken over the peninsula? Is this real life? There could only be one thing to blame for this…

Dunkins refusal to give out wax paper with their donuts and coffee rolls has to be to blame. This new policy has to be one of the greatest blunders of modern times, and complaining will only get you a napkin. I have probably eaten 3.7 pounds of napkin fiber over the last year because it sticks to my coffee roll. I love me some Dunkin’ Donuts, but even my patience is wearing thin. I just can’t live like this anymore Dunkin’. I am begging you, please bring back the piece of wax paper, it never deserved to be abandoned in the first place.

P.S. I still don’t believe this chart, so let’s put it to a vote…

ACK.net – Vehicles around the state could soon be sporting a Nantucket speciality license plate, if just 500 more people sign up to buy the $40 plate. To date, 1,000 of the 1,500 plates required for the state to begin production have been reserved.

You don’t have to be a Nantucket resident? Posers rejoice! Just kidding, it’s for a good cause…

It’s come to our attention that Cape Cod native Jessica Strohm will be a contestant in the Miss Massachusetts Pageant this year. From the looks of things she should represent the peninsula just fine, there’s really only one question…

The Pageant committee isn’t going to bother going through the entire rigmarole of actually putting this pageant on this year are they? Save some time and energy and just hand over the tiara, this one isn’t even gonna be close!

Since it’s our duty to keep you updated on what’s happening in the world of Cape Cod, we here at The Real Cape pledge to you, our readers, that we will be following this very closely, making sure to cover all the angles, finding all of the photos, because… you know… research…

Woah, woah, woah, woah… Miss Lippy, the part of the story I don’t like is that the little boy didn’t look for the ball until the next day, he didn’t put posters up or anything, he just sat on the porch like a goon and waited.

That little boys gotta think, you got a ball… you got a responsibility. If your ball gets stolen by a fox you don’t call it quits and look the next day, you get your ass in those woods and you FIND THAT FUCKING BALL.

MVTimes.com – This week, the Massachusetts Air National Guard announced that five F-15 fighter jets from Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield would fly over areas of eastern and southeastern Massachusetts at low altitudes — between 1,000 and 5,000 feet — early Thursday morning as part of a pre-planned media event. It was announced that the flight path would include Bedford, Salem, Boston, Norwood, Foxboro, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. The fighter jets were expected to pass over the Vineyard at 8:47 am at an altitude of 5,000 feet, according to a press release.

But the F-15s never showed, much to the disappointment of Islanders waiting, watching and looking skyward. Lt. Colonel Sean Halbrook told The Times that the F-15s only flew as far as Cape Cod due to time and fuel constraints. The jets took off late and were unable to rendezvous with a tanker, he said.

So, first they postponed this thing from Wednesday until Thursday, then they take off late and don’t have enough gas to finish the trip? What the hell is the department of defense doing? Is that yearly 526 billion dollar budget all spent up already? You’re spending over $10 million an hour in Afghanistan and we can’t finish one stinkin’ flyover without running out of gas on our own side of the pond?

This is America not North Korea god damn it, let’s act like it! We don’t schedule big dick waving displays with our bad ass weaponry and not follow through with them. Especially after you tell the taxpayers they’re gonna get some jet fuel to the face. Remember who paid for the gas in those jets in the first place there Uncle Sam. If you promise us F-15 fighter jets at 8 a.m. then we want those F-15’s on time and served with coffee and a side of hash brow… I mean freedom fries! ‘Merica!

P.S. The F-15 has been around since 1972. Shouldn’t we be on like the F-327 by now? Are we due for an upgrade yet? When’s our contract up?
