G_S and the Secret of Bare Cove

[generic_screenname]

Like the Hardy Boys before us, (the teen sleuths, not the wrestlers) my friends and I have discovered the secret of someplace. Yes, we have uncovered the grisly truth of behind the secret of Bare Cove. Or we would have, if we hadn’t bolted like Kenyan marathon runners as soon as we heard someone coming.

Here’s what went down: We were sitting around the house trying to decide how to spend our Sunday afternoon, when it was suggested that we buy some disposable cameras and go around taking pictures of random stuff. Maybe it was the ammonia emitting from the ferret cage, but we thought it was a good idea and we were soon on our way.

So we set out: a guy with a shaved head and goatee who doesn’t own any clothing that’s not emblazoned with scary rapping clowns; his longtime girlfriend with a silly pom-pom hat; a Hispanic guy that works at a porn video store; a Chinese guy that previously got us kicked out of Canada; yet another Chinese kid that sounds almost exactly like Ray Romano and is essentially the Chinese version of me; and me…who you should know by now. With the exception of Chinese Me, I’ve known all these people since at least high school. We rule.

After taking a few pictures at Nantasket Beach, we drove to Bare Cove, the type of large wooded area where people go to walk their dogs or to write 10,000 page manuscripts on the evils of technology. It didn’t take long for us to veer off the paved path to explore the woods. Eventually, we came to a suspicious pair of women’s shoes. Two red pumps. I think they were pumps. I don’t really know what the hell a pump is, but it’s sounds good: two red pumps. Abandoned shoes in the middle of nowhere are a little disturbing. But not as much a hut made out of tree branches sitting on a hill that overlooks abandoned shoes in the middle of nowhere.

We went up to investigate the hut. It was small; made out of branches and twigs, and what looked like maybe a piece of broken old fence for a door. There was a jacket inside. Outside, there was a hacksaw with a bright orange handle sticking out under the dead leaves. I’m sure there’s many explanations for what we found. Maybe the hut was a Cub Scout project or some handy junkies home, and completely unrelated to the shoes scattered below. It’s not like I saw any blood on the hacksaw, although I didn’t exactly get close enough to investigate. What if the guy was inside? I’m too young to be skinned alive and worn as a coat.

We took pictures of the hut, the shoes and the saw, but took off as soon as we heard someone coming. It might have been a jogger. Or a squirrel. But I wasn’t really too excited about finding out. I’ll post the pictures in a few days…

Outside, there was a hacksaw with a bright orange handle sticking out under the dead leaves. Better watch out for Pennywise the Clown. The bright ORANGE handle is a dead (no pun intended) giveaway.

I will resist the temptation to add anything to this saga ... I have enough on my hands with Marty, Holly et al! :lol

Are trying to recreate a "Blair Witch" scene??

[Kurt_eh]

I don't want to know about G_S's bare cave :nopeek:

[Frunium Slip]

Frell, I knew something bad was gonna happen to that dude that took the road less travelled by... and a girl too... Poets is dropping like flies...

Motto of the story, stay on the beaten path, with lots of friends, or one day G_S may just find your shoes near a hut, with suspicious looking tool implements nearby...

I work for a store that happens to carry porn. We dont sell toys or anything like that.


For me walking in the wood wasn't too bad. The scariest thing was having G_S drive my car.

That's like saying, "I'm a good pilot. I just can't land."

[generic_screenname]

That's good news for JG727 ... or maybe NOT!

She's um...made me get out of the car so she can park because I screwed up so bad. But I'm getting better. Really.

And I'm not talking about parallel parking, I mean just plain old regular parking in a parking spot. It's my Kryptonite.

[NYPinTA]

Wow. Just... wow.

:rollin:

Forget the pictures of Bare Cove and the murdered woman's shoes, I want to see evidence of your lousy parking.

[generic_screenname]

So I can't park. I can do other stuff...:lech:

[trinamick]

Run like a frightened girl? :D

Yes. And scream like one, too.

Oh we know you can do other stuff :applaud: ... we have witnessed the wonders that few have ever seen ... we have enjoyed the creative genius and laughed at the witty humor ... now we just need to teach you to park :ewink: and you'll be the perfect man!

[trinamick]

At least you can say something witty each time you are once again unable to park correctly! :D

[Digger]

It's Pahk the Cah. C'mon G_S, get it right!

[generic_screenname]

I can speak wicked good. What do you think I am, retah-ted?

[SweetpeaAeryn]

Are you gonna go back, g_s?

Ah I see. I've never seen it, gonna have to watch it now! :)

[trinamick]

It is well worth watching. That's one of my favorite movies too!

[mgraylorn]

I fell in love with Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddles. His first scene, in the jail cell. He opened those big blue eyes and I melted.

No.

g_s always has a great story. It's usually one that puts us into fits of laughter that make co-workers or partners just :g2f:
He's just choosing to be mean and let us beg and grovel before he spills the beans :D

Until I met G_S, I'd never known anyone afraid of clowns. I always thought clowns brought joy and happiness to kids. However, to some they bring sheer terror. Which, in an Ironic twist brings joy to friends of G_S :D

[generic_screenname]

Sorry, there is no story. Clowns just give me a woody...er, the willies.

With their deathly pale faces and blood red lips, cackling maniacally while frightened children soil themselves left and right.

Clowns are inherently scary. What about the Joker? Huh? And John Wayne Gasy.Or that little guy from Spawn. Or the new Ronald McDonald. Or the Killer Klowns from Outer Space? Pennywise...the list goes on.

And for the record, I'm not "afraid" of clowns. They just make me uncomfortable.

On an unrelated note, I'm getting nagged about my typing. Yes, Johnsgirl727 is standing behind me saying "I can't believe you don't know how to type." As in using two fingers isn't reallly "typing." Anyway, hopefully she'll start posting again so people don't think I've got her stored in various jars in a meat locker somewhere.

[Mazinger]

What about Bozo, Krusty, the one from the Garfield cartoon, Those were all nice clowns.

[trubador]

Don'f forget Kiss and Insane Clown Posse. :shocked:

Is that why she didn't join us on Sunday? ;)

[Selena]

And Bozo ... never forget about Bozo! :horror:

[generic_screenname]

Don'f forget Kiss and Insane Clown Posse.
One of my friends has ICP stuff all over his house, which is really more like a...chicken shack or double-wide outhouse. Anyway, you'd think that would give me the vapors but intentionally scary clowns aren't really all that scary. It's the ones you don't expect to be scary that are really creepy. The same goes for dolls. I hate the ones that open there eyes when you pick them up.

Then I'll never introduce you to Molly ... she not only opens and closes her eyes, she says MaMa too! :D

Oooooo.... when I was a little young'n I happened to watch a certain "Night Gallery" episode that dealt with a possessed doll (you were dead meat it it's eyes opened). Scared the living **** outta me. :shocked: Wouldn't go to bed. Fell asleep at the top of the stairs every night for like three months straight. :eek:

Sometimes it even smells like one.

[trinamick]

There was a Twilight Zone ep that had one of those freaky dolls. On it, I think it ended up killing the father when he tried to destroy it. Scared the bejesus out of me.

Don't feel bad, g_s. My sister is petrified of, I mean uncomfortable around, clowns too. I saw a chick on Maury Povich once that was too, so maybe it more common than you think. She cried and shrieked every time she even saw a toy clown. She'd start shaking all over and her face would get all white. Very entertaining.



Can't sleep, clowns will eat me.

I want a pic of you in that t-shirt! :D

psst...trinamick, I think she's talking to you...

[trinamick]

Hmm...somehow I doubt that...her eyes were definitely pointing your way. And you're right, we rule...but I'm a better parker.

[generic_screenname]

Why park when you can just open the door, roll out of the car, and let it come to a stop onit's own? Okay, I haven't actually done that, but I sure have thought about it on more than one occasion.

I should have the spooky hut pictures from Sunday soon. Somewhere in there is a picture of me leaping like a freak, as well as an alleged "ghost." So stay tuned. Or whatever the internet equivalent of that is.

[NYPinTA]

Can't wait! :D

The ICP fan took one too, and that one came out pretty good.

Psst...where are you hiding Johnsgirl727? ;)

[generic_screenname]

I may not have this completely right, but when we were in college, Mazinger had a dream that I kidnapped a girl in our class. Apparently I was wearing a white lab coat and she was chained up in my basement. I said I was going to keep her, and rubbed my hands together a la some mad scientist. I also may or may not have sounded like Dexter from Dexter's Labratory.

When he told her about it the next day in class she hit me and said "Why would you do that?!"

I didn't! It was a dream! It wasn't even my dream! Women are nuts. :rollin:

Yes, but moving to a different state and looking for a job is very difficult. She has a temp job, but she's looking for something permanent. She said that when she's satisfied with her situation she'll sit down and write about all the stuff we've done since she got here. I hope that's soon. :D

Dare I ask, why is it called "Bare" cove?



And hi to JohnsGirl727 :hi:

[generic_screenname]

Dare I ask, why is it called "Bare" cove?

It's kind of boring, but here it is:

http://www.key-biz.com/ssn/Hingham/history.html

History of Hingham Massachusetts
In the year 1633, Edmond Hobart, with his wife, their son Joshua, and daughters Rebekah and Sarah landed in Charlestown. Two other sons, Edmond Hobart Jr. and Thomas, and their familes also arrived from England, as did Nicolas Jacob, his wifeand childrenn , and Thomas Lincoln, a weaver.

These settlers found that the existing settlements had no room for them, and they chose a harbor lying inside the peninsula of Nantasket, named Bare Cove because the cove looked bare when the tide was out. The time of settlement is unknown, the first time Bare Cove was mentioned was in tax records dated September 25, 1634. The settlement was assessed a tax of 4 pounds to be paid to the colonial government.

In 1635, Peter Hobart and his family arrived in the colony. Another son of Edmond Hobart, and a minister, he settled with his family in the little settlement. On September 2nd in the year 1635, the Massachusetts court allowed the change of Bave Cove to Hingham, and on the eighteenth of the same month the first 29 proprietors of Hingham drew their house lots.

Thanks

(And here I thought it had something to do with clothing being "optional")

Its from a 1970's cartoon. Yeah, its more like a bull than an angel though.

[SweetpeaAeryn]

I figured... it's just the first the thing I see. Kinda like one of those optical illusion things that if you look at it one way it's one thing and you look at it another way it's something else.

[generic_screenname]

Okay, I've got the pictures. But first, a recap...
