The Princess Bride

Rob ReinerAre you bummed that tomorrow is Monday and you’ll have to go back to work? Tomorrow The Coolidge Theater will be showing one of the best spoofs ever made (IMHO), The Princess Bride.

The Princess Bride

“My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!”

For those who may not be familiar with this 1980s Rob Reiner film, check out this ‘Honest Trailer’ of The Princess Bride.

Penis cakes are all the rage in Taiwan

This is both hilarious and difficult to watch, and it may not be appropriate to watch in front of children or at the office. According to The LAD Bible an Australian Facebook page that posts funny videos and photos, these “Penis Cakes” are a traditional treat in Taiwan.

I feel like I need to share this with Shane (Connie’s Bakery) and Frank (Relish) or perhaps this might be an alternative to pizza for a late night bite at Spiritus.

Scruffy Sunday

Bear Week Scruffy SundayThis week’s post is for everyone at Bear Week in Ptown.

Provincetown Bear Week, July 8-16, 2017

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brainEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s brain teaser:

We could be a couple exchanging kisses and hugs; each taking turns. That is until a third falls in place and our courtship is over with one out of luck.
What am I?
