Hey y’all, well, it's finally fall, I stepped outside and it's lovely weather for a beach day! This time of year is my favorite, football, oysters, oyster shooters, upcoming holiday festivals, oh and did I mention OYSTERS! Folly always really seems to come into it's own during the fall/winter timeframe. Vacationers are back at work and/or school, the locals come out of hibernation and some cool events are happening, like the Folly Beach Xmas Parade in December, check it here https://visitfolly.com/annual-events/ I read about students in an advanced Biology class taking his mid-term exam. The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk.', worth 70 points or none at all. One student in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages - he wrote: 1) It's perfect formula for the child, 2) It provides immunity against several diseases, 3) It is always the right temperature, 4) It is inexpensive, 5) It bonds the child to the mother and vice versa, 6) It is always available as needed - and when the student was stuck, finally, in desperation, just before the bell indicating the end of the test rang, he wrote - 7) It comes in two cute containers... that's a creative kid, sounds like something Rodney Dangerfield would write! So, starting this month, earth will be visited by a second moon. Well. actually, it's a large asteroid that'll be circling earth Sept 29 through Nov 25. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see it unless you have a hi-powered telescope. I don't care, I'll still be looking up into the nighttime sky for the Big Dipper, Andromeda or Pegasus. Ok, we'll be back on the beach playing and thanks so much for supporting us, love youse guise, ciao’!

Why Even Bother? The Antrim and Newtonabbey, Northern Ireland, Borough Council announced that a statue of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip had been placed in the Antrim Castle Gardens. That announcement might come in handy: “When I saw [the sculpture] I hadn’t got a clue who it was,” said Richard Morris, an art historian. “Until I read the caption underneath and thought, ‘My goodness me, that’s a very poor representation.’” The face that is supposed to be the queen’s has been said to resemble Mrs. Doubtfire — the Robin Williams character from the 1993 film of the same name — instead. One comment called for destroying the “actually offensive” statue. The sculptor, Anto Brennan, has previously done caricatures. (NBC News, Belfast Telegram) ...Perhaps that’s why the pair is recognizable by the corgis, the handbag, and Prince Philip’s way of standing behind the queen.

Duuude: Recreational marijuana sales started in Ohio on August 6, but the state’s Division of Cannabis Control says the rollout was not fully compliant with the law, and has recommended a number of fines be levied against several companies. The largest commercial pot operation in the state, The Botanist, is subject to $150,000 in fines: $50,000 for using an ice cream truck to cater to customers with the munchies, $50,000 for advertising “free ice cream” with purchases without getting pre-approval from the state, and another $50,000 for using an advertising sign larger than the 16- by 18-inches allowed by law. All the penalties can be appealed, the DCC says. The company has already agreed to pay a $12,500 fine for using an unapproved slogan, “Can you take me higher?” (Akron Beacon Journal) ...The state, meanwhile, is being fined even more since its name is pronounced “o-HIGH-o”.
“911, What’s the Nature of Your Emergency?” When police in Las Vegas, Nev., got the full lowdown on an incident regarding Gavin Hamilton, 26, at the Fontainebleau hotel and casino, they mounted a “counterterrorism response.” Hamilton allegedly triggered an alarm in a stairwell. A maintenance worker responded, but was held off by Hamilton — with a flamethrower. He apparently didn’t resist police, who found he had a tank of flammable liquid in a backpack feeding a 3-foot-long hose with a nozzle. Also in the backpack: bongs and a meth pipe. He has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, arson, and drug possession, and jailed on $34,000 bail. Prosecutors may be aided by Hamilton’s mug shot: his face is heavily soiled with soot. (KLAS Las Vegas) ...Entitlements for the accused: a phone call, a lawyer, a damp washcloth.
Florida Salesman of the Year - Man Yells at Shoppers, Throws Beer Bottle While ‘Trying to Sell Meth’ at Strip Mall (WPLG Miami headline)
****************************************************************************************************
Sven is passing by Ole's hay shed one day when, through a gap in the door, he sees Ole doing a slow and deliberate striptease in front of an old, red Massey Ferguson tractor.
Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette and gently slides off first the right suspender of his weathered Oshkosh denim overalls, followed by the left.
He then hunches his shoulders forward and, in a classic striptease move, lets his denim braces fall down from his shoulders to dangle by his hips exposing his red & black plaid flannel shirt.
Grabbing both sides of his shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his red union suit (underwear for our younger readers).
And, with a final flourish, he hurls his flat cap on to the straw pile.
"Vat on earth ar ya doin' Ole?" asks Sven.
"Yumpin Yimminy, Sven, ya scared da livin bejeevas out of me!" exclaimed an obviously embarrassed Ole; "but, me and the Missus. vell, ve ben havin' some troubles lately in da bedroom department and da Therapist said I got to do something sexy to a tractor."
