What's New Pussycat?
Bad news (bears) coming out of the local animal shelter scene.
It seems a kitten may have the rabies infection.
This kitten was brought to the shelter a little while ago, after what
appeared to be an attack.
They think a raccoon may have gotten to her.
And we all know that those Newk raccoons are some scary bastards.

And it's likely this one had the rabies.
So anyways, a male volunteer went to clean out the living quarters
of the kitten, when he was bitten several times.
And from what we hear, rabies shots totally suck.
So we wish this noble citizen the best of luck.
-
Little known fact:
Raccoons bark.
Seriously, there was one on our porch one time, and it started barking
at us as we approached it.
He was a stubborn dude, and wouldn't allow us to pass.
Much like the black knight.
(It's just a flesh wound.)
Lucky for us, we decided to skip our lunchtime apple, so we had
something to chuck at him.
Not really thinking of the possibility that we were giving him even
more reason to be an angry squatter, by providing him a
delicious snack.
We threw the golden delicious much like we did when we pitched for
the Eagles in little league.
And just like then, our accuracy was much better in our head, than
it was on the field.
Luckily, the raccoon did not want to wait for us to throw ball 2, and
scurried his barking ass out of there.
Thank goodness we weren't prairie doggin' it that night, as it was
quite the intense standoff.

The Clarks Are Coming
Yup.
The Clarks are coming to the Newk.
That's right, kids.
The Pittsburgh based rock band is gonna melt faces at the
Penn Ken Fall Festival this Saturday.
(We aren't sure why the dude in red is standing like that, but whatevs.)They aren't the only attraction, just the best (in our opinion).
Seriously though, no offense to the:
- Car Cruise from 11am - 2pm
- Bed Races from 11am - 3pm
- Ibeji Drum Ensemble will perform African Music in the upper lot @ 2pm
- Craft and Food Vendors all day in the upper lot (funnel cakes, haluski,
pulled pork, brisket and many other yummies)
- (band) Bishop Clay will take the stage at 4pm
- And The Clarks will rock out at 5
There are many other things to do there, so grab the kids and
head on up to Upper Burrell.
Everything, especially the Bed Races, are sure to be a great time.
We are sad that we didn't get a bed racing team together
for this year's festival. You can bet we'll be ready next year.

Vacation Week (2011 - Friday)



Wow, that week went quick!
J-Dub had a blast.
Thanks for checking back daily, we appreciate your continued
readership.
You may be asking yourself...
"Did J-Dub really travel all that way just to go to a grocery and
get beer?"
The answer is a simple one...
Damn right he did.
Cause that's what little macks do.
We'll be back live next week.
(You are so excited for that, you should go change your panties.)

Take A MomentTake A Moment
It doesn't take long to tell/show someone that you love em.
We suggest you give them a hug/call/thanks for being there for you.
Yeah yeah...we know...
We sound like saps today.
But there ain't nothing going on around here.
So...get over it.
And have a good weekend.
