Sun Drop

If you've been watching television lately, you may have seen the Sun
Drop commercial with the lady gyrating to Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like
It's Hot".

Well, at first, I thought the commercial was a spoof of the song, with
a "made up" soda company; come to find out, Sun Drop is bottled by made by
Worcester-based Polar Beverages. Dr. Pepper/ Seven Up, Inc. (Hat-tip to David for the correction.)

Awesome!

Last Honest Man (Wormtown Fleet)

As a MAJOR hat-tip to the late, and never duplicated, Jeff Barnard, of Wormtown Taxi (http://wormtowntaxi.com), I present to you the "Last Honest Man".
The Last Honest Man makes no qualms about it. I've seen him with a sign that read,"Why lie? I need money for beer!", and "I need to get high!".
I can never knock someone's hustle, and when they're honest I appreciate that immensely. You know where they're coming from and what they plan to do.

NAACP: General Meeting 4/2/11

On March 5, 2011, I wrote about the NAACP: A New Day, with the election of an executive board that immediately appeared to have hit a MAJOR speed bump.  Thanks to the general media, particularly the newspapers, who clamored to get readers' attention when the Associated Press ran a story about the Worcester Branch electing an openly gay President, Ravi Perry, Ph.D.  The volume has since been turned down a few decibels, but as the old saying goes.....just wait and see, because the truth will become crystal clear.


I'm sure a few executive board meetings took place since the elections, and now it's time that the NAACP Worcester Branch hold its first general meeting, which will take place on Saturday, April 2, 2011.

The open meeting is being held at the YWCA, located at 1 Salem Square, Worcester, MA 01608 from 2-4 p.m., in the 2nd Floor boardroom.

Some items on the agenda are: The general vision for the branch, along with strategies to reach the branch's goal.

Folks that aren't able to attend the meeting are encouraged to contact the branch with questions or suggestions by sending an email to naacpworcester2058[at]gmail.com.
