ROBBIE'S RUMINATIONS

SHANDAKEN RED QUEENS HOST DINNER AND ECONOMIC SUMMIT

AKA the SPD, the Red Queens will not be out shined. They will be serving up delicious fare while helping businesses navigate the pitfalls of borrowing money, creating jobs, and making stores safe. Special webmaster help from junior queen Geo.

SPAGHETTI DINNER SHANDAKEN RED HAT SOCIETY'S GALA

The investors known for their lavish red hats will swagger while serving meatballs in gravy. They are also commemorating 11 years of strong arming and defamation. There will be speeches and surprise guests. I've been told we will see our fav couple in attendance.

AL AND BUFFY CELEBRATE

Feted at their favourite trough, the family gorged themselves with everything but fruit and vegetables. Booze flowed so I was happy and was the featured toastmaster. I wished the best in changing the zoning on 28 and expanding the stand to year round, but only if I get free stuff like the planning board gets and I don't like produce. And to my nearest and dearest, I granted continuing "friend privileges". Many happy happy hours to these two lovelies!

DRINKING CELEBRATED WITH FUNDRAISER

My part will be skiing, duh! I will beat Wetland the pussy wannabe. I am really something, you probably all think! Don't ask me details! It is a XX special  fund raiser for the rec committee!

LUCKY ME TWO SURPRISES!

Stumbling into the Arms and Sportos I was surprised to get a free drink from both places on the same day. My favourite things in the whole world!  I'll keep mentioning your businesses at town hall meetings so you keep supplying me with freebies! You all like me, you really really like me!

BOARD HAS NO CONTROL OVER ELECTED CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICIALS

Let me clear up a giant misunderstanding among local taxpayers. First of all, the town board(including the supervisor) has absolutely no control over anyone. In other words the board can not tell an elected official how to behave. Therefore, you are on your own dealing with the bitchy Town Clerk.

WRONG MONTH NAMED FOR TEAM GITTAH DANCE MARATHON

Apologies to those who cleared their calendar in April to see the latest in Catskills couture fashion designs to be worn by Team Gittah at the semi-annual "Let me tell you about the Development" spring fling marathon dance. Please no cameras. This is the preview of the group's improvements to the town. This I can tell you, my gown is stunning! You have never seen me looking soooo good.

SLEEPS THRU BOARD MEETING

 Clare and Richard formerly of Phoenicia, slept right through the meeting. It was Dick's birthday and he  and his wife spent the night in bed, while I devoted the first hour to social announcements and made it sound like the town government has a finger in every pie and every organisation, took credit for things I dint even know about, got prompted by the two Als, Piggley and Freezenda, and claimed everything is a fundraiser for the rec committee, even bar hopping and smoking on the playgrounds. Anyhoo, belated birthday wishes to Dick, who is a retired attorney.

Take care and god bless!

Luv ,

Robbie

Let's Reverse the Pattern of Secrecy

Sunshine Week is a national initiative to open a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. Concerned that our government keeps from the American public the information we need to make our families safe, secure our country, and strengthen democracy, a broad-based set of organizations are set to protest.  We hope you'll help.


There will be a parade in Phoenicia on March 19 highlighting the importance of Sunshine Week. Interested in marching? Get a group together, contact your local official demanding them to share the monthly resolutions, the minimum of transparency at the local level. Dress in sunshine or open government themed messages and gather at the eagle at 4 pm.

I love the smell of brimstone in the morning

Dig all you want. I will be here forever.

ABOVE IT ALL, A GUEST COMMENTARY

.

JOANNE AND ALL PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL AS OTHER BOARDS,
ARE EQUAL TO OR ABOVE THE ELECTED OFFICIAL, BECAUSE THEY ARE VOLUNTEERS AND OFFICERS OF THE TOWN. THEY DON'T DO IT FOR THE MONEY. THEY ARE SPECIAL. THEY PLAN, THEY ARE CHOSEN.

Obviously, compensating for the size of his penis

Obser­va­tion:
Often the size of the gavel used by a Shandaken Supervisor is inversely pro­por­tional to the pro­por­tions of the banger mem­brum. Studies have been done to find if there is any correlation between body parts in determining penis development. All studies seem to find the myths of big gavel equaling a small penis to be true. The factor of frequency of use was found to be a measure in which the small penis subject attempts to deflect attention away from the topic at hand.

Definition:
Small penis gavel syndrome. The bigger the gavel the smaller the penis.

1. A small penis gavel syndrome is a big gavel banged by a man trying to overcompensate for having a small penis i.e. tiny dick overcompensation microdick penis.

2. Also applies to humongous "manly" gavels that are not allowed to be used by others, let alone get banged on. Glossy walnut, pinstriped handles, and similar macho-but-impractical gavels that are coveted by insecure elected officials. The big gavel is the most useless gavel ever made; it's the ultimate small penis.

3. Fancy-ass carved gavels. Seen banging, excessively, usually with loud and very bad politic speak blaring. These gavels are often older models, banged by young men (ages 30-45, usually).

Understanding:
Person A: Wow, that guy must have the smallest penis in the world.
Person B: Yes, in fact it may even be a woman who thinks they are a man.

Perma-rage

Clerk Lauralynn is in a snit again. Obviously this, her latest, is directed, once again, at a specific target. First posted on the website, then spoken inarticulately or with as they say, forked tongue, at the board meeting and then put in the paper at taxpayer expense, Frasier is accusing you, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, of harboring a snake or as she likes to call it, an unlicensed wild animal.
She KNOWS there are snakes in Shandaken.
Maliciously slithering out an alternative motive she hissed,"You know I always get what I want and if you cross me, I'll make you pay!"

WHO are these snakes?

He speaks fluent gooblygook.. who knew?

Rob Stanley  showed the audience how adept he was at speaking gooblygook at the February town board meeting. When councilman Dim Malloy asked why the officer in charge couldn't use the retired squad car for his vehicle, stankley replied in vintage gooblygook that had Malloy looking blankly confused which admitedly isn't remotely difficult.
Asked to clarify his answer, he did so again in middle gooblygook which resulted in the town board buying a new vehicle for the chief,  a new cruiser for the police department,  a clown car for the zoning officer, and a scooter for Hack, using the good neighbor fund and leaving the capital expense line that was created for such purchases untouched. Chuck Perez protested to no avail as Stankley blurted he was enrolled in advanced politic speak which he was anxious to try out on the town. He later admitted his first attempt was reading the Time Warner list of shows rather than read the New York Comptroller's report on problems in the town accounts. "It was perfect," he gleefully exclaimed, " Not one question about the report!"
