Time for the TELL ALL! We’re glad we don’t have to wear our Irish hats today – they were too tight for our fat heads!
Good morning students………………….we hope everyone enjoyed yesterday’s Teaser challenge. We had a WHOLE LOT OF RIGHT GUESSERS………it was not a tough one for a lot of you to figure out. But before we get into that………..how about hearing who our FIRST COMMENTER was????
KATSRUS (SueB) !!
And a weird thing happened at the same time Sue’s HELLO came in – we had a “simultaneous” HELLO from ANIMAL COURIERS – but the time changed JUST as it came in. So it looks like it was a minute behind Sue but it really came in at the same time. Our Graphics Department (Mom) saw it!!! SO, we’re giving another FIRSTIE TO:
Annie at Animal Couriers!!
You EACH get one of these:
Then we sat and waited to see WHO would figure out the photo first – here’s the photo that was up for grabs:
We saw so many interesting photos of this location – choosing one over the others was tough except that many of the photos had view of front – where there’s inscriptions AND flags. It would have given it away! This is a photo of the enclosure which is on top of PLYMOUTH ROCK, in PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS. There’s some info HERE about this rather “underwhelming” location which seems to disappoint most people who visit it. It’s not very “grand” for a spot that’s a big part of our history – but then there’s a lot of controversy about the entire story. Still, it’s THERE – or at least some of it is (the rock). Our Graphics Department was going to give you a HINT photo to go with this – a photo of a PLYMOUTH ROCK CHICKEN (yes there is one!) but we decided that you would figure this one out without the chicken hint.
WHO WAS THE FIRST RIGHT GUESSER?????
Timmy Tomcat and Family!!
Timmy you get our FIRST RIGHT GUESSER St. Pat’s Badge!
There were QUITE A FEW others who guessed right…………………………..and each of you may take a copy of this badge for yourselves to display proudly!!
Those of you who were hoping for a St. Pat’s Badge and GUESSED but were WRONG – will get that badge – one of these:
Our Cheer Team is coming in to do their thing !!
I’m sorry we can’t have EVERYONE WIN……but it sure is fun every week when we do Teaser………..we can cheer on the winners and try hard to win ourselves NEXT week right?
Shall we go to the cafeteria now and see what Miss D has to say about her DATE??????
Great – let’s go!
Hello students………..well, the Blind Date you all chose for me in Number Two position was even WORSE than Mr. Handsome from last week! I thought Presley was quite cute and until he suggested we skip dinner and just head to the Heartbreak Hotel I thought he had potential. BUT I showed him some of my best Black Belt Karate moves and he settled down. Then things really went south when we got to BBQ Bob’s. I took some photos:
I mean REALLY! He forgot I was even THERE! I hopped in the limo along with my BBQ sandwich and headed home.
Well we’re sorry about that…….we wondered if there would be “problems”! No worries though – we have a THIRD CANDIDATE and we think he will be the BEST ONE YET – you’ll meet him next week Miss D !!
Alright – it’s your last chance though! Now – who wants lunch???????
Our Fab Menu for Today:
Well the date was a bummer but lunch was good! We’ll see you all next week for another Teaser!
Your Professors !!

Poor Miss D! I hope her next date goes better.Congrats to Timmy Tomcat for being first right guesser, and to Sue B and Annie for being on time. Yayyy, I got a badge too.
The photo I remember in the Civic Building was from the front with the flags. I don’t know where it is now because the building was closed several years ago. It was only built after the war, 1961 I think, and by the mid 70’s it was starting to crumble due to shoddy materials being used. It was still being used in the early 2010’s but is completely closed now. Unbelievably someone decided to give the ugly building a grade 2 listing meaning it has to be preserved if at all possible. A consortium bought it for £1, yes that’s right, £1 a few years ago to develop the interior but nothing has been done yet.

We are definitely weird about our monuments on this side of the pond. It was rather amazing to see the original structure in some of the photos we saw – and hearing the actual story of the rock – well – let’s just say that sometimes we do things RIGHT and sometimes we do things the EASY way. Strange isn’t it?!
Hugs, Teddy and Mom too

Miss D is being a good sport considering what we’ve chosen for her in the way of dates. Next week’s guy – well – they say third time is the charm but he didn’t particularly look CHARMING to me. Although I did like his outfit. Very – well – CREATIVE! Enjoy the fish, ‘tater salad and pie (pronounced Paaaah).

Shoulda had that piccie for Thanksgiving! MOL! But hey, its good to see where our country supposedly began, way back. Wait, my country is Canada, Hah!

The Vikings and the French have their debates on who settled the land…but I do believe the British might have some say in the matter, too, No wonder we cannot keep politics peaceable…MOL, MOL!

Key lime pie is one of life’s pleasures indeed. I enjoyed reading up on Plymouth Rock – the history and the “so called history” as well. Interesting and a little bittersweet the way we chose to “preserve” that little bit of history here.
