Picture Postcard: The Creep On The Course

20 Jul

July 20, 2015

I was on a ghost tour in Cape May NJ recently. We were riding in an old-fashioned trolley and the guide was relating the haunted history of each house. In this house is the ghost of a jilted lover, she told us, and in another house the spirits of long-dead children still roamed the halls.

It was dusk and the mood was right. There were old Victorian mansions and smaller, centuries-old homes. She regaled us with stories of phantom men who wander the streets, and stories of business rivals who still duel in the night.

As we went down one particularly old, cobblestoned street, she warned us that he place in Cape May that scared her the most, that creeped her out more than anything else, was right ahead of us.

All eyes went forward, looking for the next old home or haunted alley.

We saw this:

course creep

This weird guy on the 12th hole of a miniature golf course caused her more sleepless nights than any ghoul or apparition ever did.

Me? I think there is something evil in the eyes.

Sneak Peek of the Week: July 12th, 2015

12 Jul

July 12, 2015

Happy Sunday! Ah, summer. Sun, fun, and new blogs! They go together like, um, things that go together. Anyway, here, in no particular order, are the things you can expect from The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride in the coming days.

(In an unrelated note, the Mr. Blog Editorial Staff is looking for summer interns. Must be willing to blend smoothies without pay.)

An Unfortunate Name

Sorry that I have to censor the name, but that would give it all away. The name of this place in South Jersey sounds like something that could get you on the sex offender registry.

Separated At Birth?

Someone in this towel ad has a celebrity lookalike. HINT: It isn’t the roll of towels.

This Blog Is Going To The Dogs

Man, I am really starting to get worried about Star Wars VII after seeing that picture.

Just kidding, it is the return of a yearly Saturday Comics feature. Hmm. Comic Con, mutts, what could this be? Am I being too subtle?

I Made It To The Top

That’s the shadow of the Cape May lighthouse, and I’ll share some photos and video from way up there. Hey! I can see my car from here! It’s the black one.
