Commented on In Grafton, Not Every Candidate Was On The Ballot
7 hours ago
Thank you Carrie,
All of us Scullheads over at the Scully for everything campaign appreciate the beautiful flowers you sent over. But, they really weren't necessary. We would always support a strong candidate like yourself and now that you are officially a Scullywog, we've got your back with Chuck Norris. It's that simple, because the Scully for everything campaign is more then a motto, it's a lifestyle. View Comment

All of us Scullheads at the Scully for everything campaign headquarters would like to congratulate all the candidates with their campaigns. While no one could possibly exceed Sir Scully in votes, or sheer political muscle many candidates won their seats. In fact, the Scullheads over at the Scully for everything campaign headquarters supported all yesterday's winners. We were proud to lend these winners our political muscle and now we've got their back with Chuck Norris as their bodyguard. You are now officially named Scullywogs!
Sir Scully does not allow the Scullywogs to kiss his ring, only full fledged Scullheads are allowed that privilege, but he hopes all will move with Jagger's swagger. We're thinking of making a hot sauce with that name, anyways good luck. And remember, Scully for everything is not just a motto, it's a lifestyle. View Comment

I heard from the finance report at town meeting that housing growth in town has almost ceased. Maybe we should give our town's bloated planning department rubber stamps and produce the trash bags from within that dept.

The property will cost under $20K per acre when all said and done. Lake front property for under $20K per acre can't be a bad deal for the town's future. View Comment

re: jenvacca
My proposal was roundly discussed at finance committee meeting. Without their support a $1 million citizens petition is DOA. My negative comments about the Honeywell proposal and the Selectmen's and TA's presentation about not effecting taxes is appropriate based upon the actual details within the Honeywell proposal. Not even Honeywell could get up and defend it at town meeting. Fall town meeting comes up fast, the Selectmen have a lot of work ahead of them and I hope everyone reads the fine print of the next proposal. I expect that you will be seeing the Selectmen grabbing at other monies to make the next proposal appear better. But using borrowed money from the school building project in the end is the same expense to the taxpayer.
In truth, the Selectmen should just let the capital planning committee do their thing and not push them aside as they have with this Honeywell proposal. If they would let town process work, the municipal center would get repaired and the boilers would get purchased and it would all get done without having to misrepresent the financial facts to the community.

I personally knew that without finance committee endorsement, my $1 million citizens petition articles were destined to failure. But what I attempted to do is enlighten town meeting that the Honeywell Project was/is a boondoggle and that the Selectmen plan to use left over school building funds to make it sound like at this Falls Honeywell proposal costs less and that the Honeywell proposal added real expense to the town. How the T.A. and the Selectmen can gloss over that fact, is a fools game.
Anyways, I wish everyone well in their campaigns and remember Scully for everything! View Comment
Commented on Busy Night Expected at Grafton Town Meeting
05/14/12
The Scully for everything campaign supports Sir Scully's arguments here in this post. From being a super chairman man on the super parks committee, to future heavyweight champion on the planning board and now onto financial matters, we all know the Scully for everything committee is not just a motto, but a way of life.
Sir Scully's wisdom which he has conveyed here will be reinforced when the microphones only seem to work when the word NO is spoken, our technical director of sound Mick Jagger has rigged the the micks and Chuck Norris will be cracking his knuckles to remind everyone of Sir Scully's wisdom.
The Scully for everything campaign knows that if people show up at town meeting, this stupid land purchase request will rightfully lose. View Comment

I remember some things about Suzane B. Nessanbaun. And I think again, in reading this article how many termites actually make their living from government empowerment. I mean really, outside building siding material that was removed from an apartment, placed into plastic bags that broke and that were stored outside... is that a big event? With all those strike force? and all those other stuff shirts, important nothings... EP, DVD, HP and Gonorrhea?
No wonder there's a group of us that have formed the Scully for everything committee. Let's vote Scully for everything... and vote these termites out of their cup of tax payer coffee. View Comment

I think there is a good chance that town meeting will be a two night ordeal. Additionally, I think that this is the first year that the town will have a fully involved T.A. asst. T.A. as employees.
I think this is creating a politicized budget process that the town has never seen before.

:-) It's great to young! I wasn't perfect at 18 either, I'm still not perfect, and I'm no longer young. :-(
But we'll celebrate my daughters wedding in mountains of Montana, far away from the campaign signs of Grafton. View Comment
Commented on Letter: Moderator Sets Limits for Town Meeting
05/09/12
The Scully for everything committee respects the Moderator's request, because we know that the Scully for everything campaign is not just a campaign, but a lifestyle. Scullheads don't need to interfere with town meeting and that's why Sir Scully will place their best body guard Chuck Norris at town meeting's front door, just to keep those other creeps out. Sir Scully wishes that everyone will attend town meeting, because he wants to show off some parliamentary moves he's learned on yesterday's international visit with the popularly elected president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. The Russian girl twins that broke into the Scully for everything campaign headquarters, Scully's Temple, have been identified as the daughters from a Russian/Syrian love tryst. Our best secret service agent Chuck Norris is working to bring these beautiful women back to Grafton, to prove to all, that he really did slip on a block of ice in the middle of the room.

This is an important follow up news alert to this mornings break in at Scully for everything campaign headquarters. The surveillance tapes reveal that two beautiful women who appear to be Russian by the flags on their skirts broke into the Scully Temple, that's what Scullheads call the campaign for everything, campaign headquarters. These two women approached Chuck Norris the security guard who immediately used his best self defense technique and fell to the floor and played dead. As the two the beautiful women tied Chuck Norris up, it does appear from the surveillance video that a wet spot did appear about in the middle of where Chuck was lying. The women then wrote a message on Chuck in lipstick that was perfectly deciphered by Sir Scully, that's what Scullyheads call their Messiah. Sir Scully's reading is: Chuck loves beet stroganoff under a big moon. While Chuck Norris still insists that their was a big block of ice in the middle of the room, some Scullyheads think differently and think that if Micheal Jackson were alive he might be able to unravel this mystery.
Anyways, Sir Scully had a great secret visit with the Dali Lama today, which was kept secret from Chuck Norris, Sir Scully's top body guard, because Chuck Norris insist that the Dali Lama is a Shauwlin monk and Chuck wants to dual the Dali Lama in a head to brick breaking competition. View Comment

I know others campaigns have lost yard signs it happens every year, but there is breathtaking news from the Skullheads over at Scully for everything campaign headquarters. From the press release it appears that there was an early morning break in and that documents are missing. There was a note left that was written in Russian and they are just waiting for Scully to return from his daily international trip, because the day Scully was in Russia he learned fluent Russian. From the bits and pieces from the press release, the early morning break in occurred when Chuck Norris was standing guard. Chuck is still in a tizzy and all he repeats is that he slipped on a block of ice in the middle of the room. Video surveillance cameras should help decipher the intrusion, I'm sure that Scully for everything will update the scene when Scully returns. Remember Scully fo everything is not just a motto, it's a lifestyle. View Comment

While Padget has tee shirts, I understand from the web site www.scullyfroreverything.org campaign, that they are gearing up to have everything. With a big new surprise release that Mick Jagger the master of ceremonies has agreed to play in concert here in Grafton. So Scully has rented out the Polish Hall for the extravaganza. While Mick Jagger has requested great catering for the event, it was determined by the Scully fo everything campaign that Scully would actually be doing the catering, because the day that Scully was a celebrity chef in Japan he actually beat Chuck Norris in a cook off event to become a coveted Iron Chef. No other candidate can say that! At the Polish Hall there is also going to be a dance off event between Mick Jagger and Chuck Norris with Scully being the judge, because last year for the day the day that Scully was in England he beat Mick Jagger in a Micheal Jackson dance off event to become England''s next top dancer. No other candidate can say that! The problem now is that Chuck Norris is already protesting the event because Mick Jagger gets to dance first, so the Scully for Life, Skullheads as they liked to be called because they know Scully for everything is more then a campaign, it's a lifestyle, are working to make sure that Chuck Norris wins a prize.

As a Mayflower decedent, I'm a little nuts about heritage. Please all, the recent dig in Grafton was about Sarah of Boston, a person well written about and known about. She was large, strong and readily employed for work.
Our town's heritage about the location of the the Indian praying village has yet to be determined.
