I have been saying this all along...sunscreen is a scam. I have a strict no sunscreen policy on "Buzzard Field" and we have never lost an inning to sunburn. Please refrain from bringing any sunblocking lotions onto the field.
Sunscreen Consumer Fraud Litigation
Manufacturers of the top sunscreen brands relied upon by millions of American swimmers and sunbathers each year have lied about the effectiveness of their products in blocking sun rays and preventing skin diseases, including cancer, according to several coordinated lawsuits filed in California Superior Court in Los Angeles.
Such famous brands as Coppertone, Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic, marketed as protective “sunblocks,” are in fact unreliable in protecting adults and children and can create a sense of false security that actually endangers users, the complaint charges.
“Sunscreen is the Snake Oil of the 21st Century and these companies that market it are Fortune 500 Snake Oil salesmen,” said Samuel Rudman, a New York-based partner in the nation’s most successful shareholder and consumer class action law firm, Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP. “False claims such as ‘sunblock’ ‘waterproof’ and ‘all-day protection’ should be removed from these products immediately,” he said.
Make no bones about it, Moran is a Moron. After over 25 straight stories on "the Buzz" about unrelated North Ridge items, Moron publishes a story about our fair neighborhood. Problem is, he takes the story from The Patriot News and the pictures and additional information from "The Buzzard." "He is a hack, his readership is dropping like a deuce in the hopper, " according to Dr. Kevin Bixby of The Buzzard. "He is trying to copy what we are doing here at The Buzzard- but it is bush league. He has lost touch with the public." The Buzzard has learned Moron, I mean Moran has had numerous requests to have names removed from his spam-like emails. One recent North Ridge resident requested removal because of a lack of reporting on fighting on Regal View. By Scott, he is missing the boat again. According to Amy McMurdy, "He is so dumb, he has my old email I never check. The Buzz is all about stupid stuff like, well I don't know what ir is about since I don't read it. By the way , the one thing I like about Moron, I mean Moran is his new nickname "PeeWee." The Buzzard is close to finalizing a investigative report regarding this situation. Keep checking back- it promises to be a shocker.

"He looks like a lost puppy out there on the lawn, " said Mary Orr. We were waiting and waiting, and every once in awhile we could hear other motorcycles coming down the road.This made Bread Dip very upset when they passed. After a few hours of waiting and a few beers later, we decided to make a WELCOME HOME sign on Engleberg's driveway. "Bread Dip's" youngest bagel came out with her chalk and made a sign on Engleberg's driveway with the help of "Fire Ant." We just kept on waiting, waiting and waiting. No Engleberg in sight. After awhile Engleberg's wife decided to join the festivities. "Bread Dip" and Mrs. Engleberg were chatting away, when "Fire Ant" heard something. It was the sweet sound of a Harley!

Carlisle PA (Tass) Earlier today The North Ridge Buzz reported on the dangers of an overweight backpack. The story originated from California and was no doubt sponsored by a chiropractor. In direct response to this Buzz posting, The Buzzard conducted it's own study on backpack safety. "It seems funny the original story was based out of California and it sounds like a chiro trying to drum up some business, " according to a Buzzard spokeperson. "Here in North Ridge, we don't take kindly to some left coast quack telling us what is dangerous for our kids." The Buzzard decided to complete their own study on backpack safety. The Buzzard located a neighborhood kid riding a scooter and asked her to particpate in the study. The youth is 10 years old and in good physical condition. Initially the youth carried her 11.2 pound backpack around the block two times - thus travelling a full mile. The youth reported no injuries or discomfort. On the second lap we strapped a 25 pound weight and a couple concrete blocks to the bag. The weight now climbed to 53 pounds. The results were shocking. The youth took 2 or 3 steps and was violently jerked backward, almost immediately falling to the ground. The Buzzard is happy to report the child will make a full recovery after 3-4 weeks of chiropractic treatment.
Investigative Report: Another Old Milwaukee for Morrow?
Carlisle, PA Buzzard undercover investigative reports hit the streets early this morning in hopes of landing the biggest story in North Ridge Blog history. According to Buzzard editor Dr. Kevin Bixby, "We got a tip last week from "Fat Eddie" who is a chucker on the trash truck. He indicated we should investigate noted beer snob Chris "Lotto" Morrow." Morrow is typically seen in public drinking high end beers. He also routinely refuses to drink beers with case prices under $25. The question? What does Lotto drink when at home? Thanks to some sloppy work from the recycling crew, an empty can and bottle were left in close proximity of the Morrow house. Using the latest photographic technology, The Buzzard has been able to zoom in and clarify the mystery bottles located at the Morrow home. The shocking result- A light beer and a non-alcoholic beer. We sent a team in to recover the bottle and can and we will be doing some DNA testing on them. It is possible, of course, that they were drank by Jodi or one of the kids, However, as it stands now, we believe Chris "Lotto" Morrow is an imitation beer snob. Morrow has refused comment on the situation when contacted by phone. However, it was clear at the time of the call, Morrow was opening a can of some sort.

Carlisle, PA.... In June 2005, he stood on top of the Wiffle Ball world. An MVP who could play through injury, pitch with pinpoint accuracy and provide the occasional home run. He had the Wiffle Ball community in his very large hand. The decline came as swiftly as his pitches. His name? As far as anyone can remember- Bill Entwistle. What happened to the 6' 5" right-hander from the Regal View section of North Ridge? "He got in the middle of too many fights in the bad section of the neighborhood. Oh brother- there were fights. Oh brother -tons of fights, " according to a resident who did not want to be identified. "I think it just wore him down. They took Bill out of the Regal View, but you can't take the Regal view out of Bill - or something like that." Others believe he just started riding his bike and never came back. "He rode off into the sunset knowing he could never duplicate his efforts from 2005," stated Dave Orr of the more upscale Skyline View section of North Ridge. Entwistle's too brief career line: Pitching 19-9 1 shutout and a 4.23 ERA Batting .245 7 HR and 27 RBIs
