Local Poop

This is a big week in Ocean City. The main event is Oceans Calling, which takes over the Inlet and lower Boardwalk Friday–Sunday, September 25–27.

🌊 Ocean City this week

Wednesday, Sept. 23

Relatively quiet around town. The local event calendars show no major scheduled event today.
This is actually a good day to enjoy the beach, Boardwalk, fishing, or dinner before the festival crowds arrive.

Thursday, Sept. 24

Still relatively quiet, but you'll start seeing Oceans Calling setup and increased activity around the Inlet.
If you're looking for a relaxed beach day, I'd choose Thursday over the weekend.

🎵 Friday, Sept. 25 — Oceans Calling begins

Three-day festival at the Ocean City Inlet.
Dave Matthews Band headlines Friday, with Hootie & the Blowfish, Ludacris, O.A.R., Yellowcard, Shaggy, Liz Phair and others on the lineup.

🎸 Saturday, Sept. 26

Twenty One Pilots and Gwen Stefani headline.
Goo Goo Dolls, Third Eye Blind, 311, All Time Low, Violent Femmes and others are also scheduled.

🎶 Sunday, Sept. 27

Mumford & Sons and Matchbox Twenty headline.
The Head and the Heart, My Morning Jacket, Hanson, Caamp, OK Go and others are scheduled.

🏖️ If you're there but NOT going to Oceans Calling

I'd actually take advantage of Wednesday or Thursday for the beach and Boardwalk. The Ocean City Boardwalk will be considerably more enjoyable before the festival crowds descend.

For a waterfront evening, Fager's Island is a good option, particularly if you want sunset, dinner and live entertainment. Sunset Grille in West Ocean City is another waterfront choice.

And if you're looking for the full Ocean City party atmosphere, Seacrets is doing its usual bayfront/nightlife thing.

One thing I'd flag

Friday through Sunday will be substantially different from a normal late-September Ocean City weekend. Oceans Calling is a major three-day festival, with national acts and a large crowd concentrated around the Inlet and Boardwalk.

Funny Poop

A man awoke one evening to discover prowlers in his storage shed. He immediately called 911, gave his address, to report the prowlers and possible burglary. The operator at the other end said "Are they in your house?" He said they were not, only in his storage shed in back of the house. The operator said there were no cars available at that time. He thanked the operator, hung up the phone and counted to 30 and called again. "I just called you about prowlers in my storage shed. Well you do not have to worry, as I just shot them all dead!" Within seconds there were 3 police cars, an ambulance and fire engine at the scene. After capturing the prowlers red-handed, the policeman asked the caller, "I thought you said you had shot them all!" The man answered, "I thought you said there were no police available”.

Etcetera

Got Poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.

Funny Poop

Having lunch one day, a sex therapist said to her friend, "According to a survey we just completed, ninety percent of all people masturbate in the shower. Only ten percent of them sing."

"Really?" asked the friend.

The therapist shook her head and proceeded to ask, "And do you know what song they sing?"

The friend nodded her head and replied, "No."

The therapist replied, "I didn't think so."

Funny Poop

One day while doing door-to-door market research, this guy knocks on a door and is greeted by a beautiful young housewife.

"Hello," he starts, "I’m doing some research for a petroleum jelly manufacturer. Have you ever used the product?"

"Yes. My husband and I use it during sex," she answers.

The researcher is taken aback. "Um, er, I admire you for your honesty," he continues. "Can you tell me exactly how you use it?"

"Sure, we put it on the doorknob so the kids can’t get in."

A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!"

The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."

Funny Poop

Two widows were out for coffee. Dorothy turned to Edna and said, “George Bell invited me on a date. I know you went to dinner with him last week, so I don’t want to upset you.”

“I’ll tell you what happened,” said Edna. “He showed up on time, dressed like a true gentleman, and he even brought me flowers! This dinner was perfect: lobster, champagne, dessert, drinks – and we saw a show afterwards. It was the best date I’ve ever been on.”

“So why didn’t you go out with him again?” Dorothy asked.

“We went back to my house and he turned into a complete animal,” said Edna. “He tears off my expensive new dress and has his way with me two times!”

“Goodness!” said Dorothy, looking worried. “So I shouldn’t go on this date.”

“No, no, go on the date,” said Edna. “Just wear an old dress.”

Funny Poop

A man goes to visit his 85-year-old grandpa in the hospital.

"How are you grandpa?" he asks.

"Feeling fine," says the old man.

"What's the food like?"

"Terrific, wonderful menus."

"And the nursing?"

"Just couldn't be better. These young nurses really take care of you."

"What about sleeping? Do you sleep okay?"

"No problem at all --- nine hours solid every night. At 10 o'clock they bring me a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet, and that's it. I go out like a light."

The grandson is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so he rushes off to question the Nurse in charge. "What are you people doing?" he asks. "I'm told you're giving an 85-year-old Viagra on a daily basis. Surely that can't be true?"

"Oh, yes," replies the nurse. "Every night at 10 o'clock we give him a cup of chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works wonderfully well. The chocolate makes him sleep, and the Viagra stops him from rolling out of bed."

Local Poop

This week (July 22–28, 2026) in Ocean City, MD, it's peak summer with beach vibes, free concerts, fireworks, and family-friendly events. Expect warm, humid weather typical for late July—highs in the low-to-mid 80s°F (around 27–31°C), with possible thunderstorms or showers mixed in.

Recurring Weekly Highlights

Sundaes in the Park with Fireworks (Sunday, July 26): Free live concert (7–9 PM) at Northside Park (125th St. & the bay), with ice cream sundaes available for purchase, kids' activities, and fireworks over the bay around 9 PM. A classic family favorite—bring chairs/blankets.
Sunset Park Party Nights (Thursday, July 24): Free concert from 7–9 PM at Sunset Park (bayside, S. Division St.). This week's act is Totally Bowie with Blondie Meets Talking Heads—great for sunset views. Bring your own chair.
Movies on the Beach: Typically Wednesdays in July—check locally for the exact film on July 22 or 23, as it's a popular free evening event on the sand.

Other Notable Events This Week

Seacrets & Ocean 98 Summer Concert Series (Wednesday, July 22): Twin Fin performs live at the Beach Stage. Doors around 7 PM (21+ for some shows; check details).
Ghost Walks/Tours: Multiple evening walking ghost tours in Ocean City, Berlin, and nearby areas (several dates this week). Fun, spooky option for evenings.
Christmas in July celebrations: Look for themed parties, like at Oaked 110 (Saturday, July 25) with Bad Santa vibes, cocktails, games, and giveaways, or the OC Young Professionals pool party (Sunday, July 26).

Concerts & More

Check Bandsintown or local listings for acts like Nick Lowe or others around the weekend. Larger festivals like Oceans Calling are later in September.

General Tips & Vibes

The boardwalk, beach, and inlet are buzzing with typical summer activities: biking, mini-golf, arcades, dining, and people-watching.
Local news mentions ongoing inlet dredging (improving navigation) and community items like sign auctions, but nothing disrupting tourism this week.
For the full calendar, visit official sites like ococean.com/events, oceancity.com/events, or the Ocean City Chamber calendar.

Ocean City is all about relaxed beach fun right now—perfect for families or anyone soaking up the sun and live music. Have a great time!

The dog finally died and Muldoon went to the parish priest, saying "Father, the dog is dead. Could you possibly be saying a Mass for the poor creature?"

Father Patrick told the farmer "No, we can't have services for an animal in the church, but I'll tell you what, there's a new denomination down the road apiece, and no telling what they believe in, but maybe they'll do something for the animal."

Muldoon said "I'll go right now. By the way, do you think $50,000 is enough to donate for the service?"

Father Patrick replied "Why didn't you tell me the dog was Catholic."

Funny Poop

Two elderly residents, one male and one female, were sitting alone in the lobby of their nursing home one evening. The old man looked over and said to the old lady, "I know just what you're wanting, and for $5 I'll have sex with you right over there in that rocking chair."

The old lady looked surprised but didn't say a word.

The old man continued, "For $10 I'll do it with you on that nice soft sofa over there, but for $20 I'll take you back to my room, light some candles, and give you the most romantic evening you've ever had in your life."

The old lady still says nothing but after a couple minutes, starts digging down in her purse. She pulls out a wrinkled $20 bill and holds it up.

"So you want the nice romantic evening in my room," says the old man.

"Get serious", she replies. "I want it four times in the rocking chair!"

This week (mid-June 2026, around June 17-23), Ocean City, MD, is in full early-summer swing with beach vibes, family events, and the start of recurring summer programming. The OC Air Show just wrapped up on June 13-14, so crowds are likely still elevated but shifting to regular tourist and local activities.

Key Ongoing/Recurring Events

Art League of Ocean City's Clay-a-palooza: Running daily/recurring through late June (around June 27). Hands-on clay workshops, exhibitions, and art activities at the Art League Center. Great for families and creatives.
Movies on the Beach: Wednesdays (including June 17) at Carousel Resort Hotel (around 125th St./118th St. area). Family-friendly films on the sand starting ~8:30 p.m. Free and popular.
Sundaes in the Park: Sundays (e.g., June 21) at Northside Park (127th St. & Bay). Live music, kids' activities, ice cream, and fireworks over the bay from ~7-9 p.m. Free family fun.
Ghost Walks / Haunted Trifecta: Ongoing evening tours (multiple nights per week). Spooky history walks—check schedules for exact times.
Kids' activities & free events: Things like Bubbles & Beats! Kids Dance Party (e.g., at Trimper Rides), free kids' crafts on Saturdays (starting June 19), and other boardwalk/family programming.

This Week's Highlights

Wednesday, June 17: Bubbles & Beats dance party; possible Fin City Brewing Cruise; Chamber welcome event for student exchange visitors; support group meetings.

Upcoming nearby: Maryland State Firemen’s Association Convention (June 20-25) at the Convention Center—includes training, networking, and public events.

Other options: Live music at various spots (e.g., acoustic sets), boardwalk amusements, and potential pop-up tourism events (like one at Harpoon Hanna’s around June 18).

Weather Outlook (as of mid-June 17)

Expect warm, humid summer conditions with highs in the mid-70s to upper 80s. Some chance of afternoon thunderstorms or showers, especially later in the week (e.g., Friday). Check a current forecast for updates, as beach days are prime but pack for possible rain.

General Vibe & Tips

Ocean City is bustling with beachgoers, boardwalk strolling, and typical summer attractions (rides, dining, mini-golf, etc.). Lifeguards are on duty, and there’s emphasis on safety with added public safety presence. Free or low-cost family events make it accessible. For the latest, check ococean.com/events, the Ocean City Chamber calendar, or local apps/sites.

Funny Poop

The old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat on tight so that it would not blow off in the wind.

A gentleman approached her and said: “Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward, but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?”

“Yes, I know,” said the lady, “I need both hands to hold onto this hat.” “But, madam, you must know that your privates are exposed!” said the gentleman in earnest.

The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied, “Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!”

Funny Poop

A man walks into a bar and sees a good-looking woman sitting on a stool. He walks up to her and says, "Hi there, how’s it going?"

She turns to him, looks deep into his eyes and says, "I’ll screw anybody, any time, anywhere, your place, my place, it doesn’t matter."

He says, "No kidding! I'm a lawyer too. What law firm are you with?"

Etcetera

Got Poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.

This week (late May 2026, around Memorial Day weekend) in Ocean City, MD, is kicking off the summer season with beach crowds, events, and warm weather.

Major Highlight: Ocean City Jeep Week (May 28–31)

Jeep enthusiasts are gathering for parades on the sand, beach obstacle courses, vendors, a Jeep Jam, show-n-shine, and more at the Inlet Parking Lot and nearby areas. Spectators are generally free to watch many activities. It's a big draw for vehicle fans and families.

Other Notable Events

Baltimore Ravens Roosts Annual Parade (May 30) — At 19th Street & Baltimore Avenue. Football fans can enjoy Ravens-themed celebrations.
Godspell (May 29–30) — A production by the Lower Shore Performing Arts Company. Great for theater fans.

Ripley's new gallery opening (May 27) — "Ripley's Waterbird: Oceanside Outlet" celebration.

Live music, DJs, and parties are happening at spots like Seacrets throughout the week (check their calendar for daily lineups).

Memorial Day itself (May 25) has already passed, but the weekend vibe continues with parades, beach activities, and town-wide energy.

General Vibe & Activities

Beaches & Boardwalk — Expect busy but classic Ocean City summer energy: swimming, sunbathing, biking, and people-watching. Free public beaches.
Weather — Typical late May: highs in the upper 60s to mid-70s°F, with possible showers or thunderstorms (especially around Memorial Day). Pack layers and rain gear.
Other ongoing fun — Sundaes in the Park concerts (Sundays), boardwalk eats, mini-golf, arcades, and fishing.

Funny Poop

A couple and their young son take a vacation to a nude beach. As the boy walks around, he notices some women have breasts much larger than his mother's and asks her about it.

His mother replies: "The bigger they are, the dumber the person is."

The boy happily goes back to the water, but soon returns and says, "Mommy, some of the men have things way bigger than Daddy's!"

His mother quickly responds: "The bigger they are, the dumber the person is."

Satisfied, the boy heads back to play. A few minutes later, he runs back to his mother and says, "Mommy, Daddy is talking to the dumbest lady on the beach, and the longer he talks to her, the dumber he gets!"

Funny Poop

An old man was a witness in a burglary case. The defense lawyer asked Sam, "Did you see my client commit this burglary?"

"Yes," said Sam, "I saw him plainly take the goods."

The lawyer asks Sam again, "Sam, this happened at night. Are you sure you saw my client commit this crime?"

"Yes, says Sam. "I saw him do it."

Then the lawyer asks Sam, "Sam, listen, you are an 80-year-old, and your eyesight is probably bad. Just how far can you see at night?"

Sam says, "I can see the moon. How far is that?"

This week (May 13–19, 2026) in Ocean City, MD, is a relatively quiet period after major early-May events like Cruisin’ Ocean City (which ended May 3) and before bigger ones like Jeep Week (late May) or the Air Show (mid-June). It’s a good time for beach relaxation, boardwalk strolls, and smaller recurring or local happenings.

Recurring & Notable Events This Week
Spring Family Movie Nights in the Park (Fridays, including May 15): Free family-friendly movies at Bayside Park at 3rd Street. Runs weekly through May 22.
Karaoke Fridays with DJ Donnie (May 15): Evening fun, likely at a local venue.
Concert in the Park (e.g., May 14 with Greenback Pack at Cypress Park): Check for free live music in local parks.
Free Artist Talk with Carly Whittington (May 15 at Coffee Beanery): Arts and culture event.

Other weekly activities often include live music at spots like Seacrets (nightly DJs, bands, and parties most evenings—check their calendar for specifics like DJ sets, bands such as Stealing Savanah, My Hero Zero, etc.), boardwalk performances, and casual beach vibes.
Berlin Farmers Market (nearby, May 17) is another option for fresh produce and local goods.

Weather Outlook
Expect typical mid-May conditions: highs in the mid-60s to low 70s°F (around 17–22°C), lows in the 50s°F. Some chance of scattered showers or thunderstorms possible mid-week, but plenty of beach time should be available. Pack layers and check a daily forecast.
General Tips & Things to Do
Beach & Boardwalk: Prime time for walks, biking, mini-golf, arcades, and seafood. Water temps are still cool but improving.
Dining: Look for any lingering Restaurant Week specials (if extended) or fresh catches at spots along the water.
Other: Fishing, biking the boardwalk, or catching a show at the Performing Arts Center if anything’s scheduled.

For the latest details, check these sites directly (calendars update frequently):
Official: ococean.com/events

Ocean City Chamber or local venues like Seacrets.

Enjoy the shoulder season—fewer crowds and more relaxed beach town feel! I

Funny Poop

A man came home from work one day to find his wife sitting on the front porch with her bags packed. He asked her where she was going and she replied "I'm going to Las Vegas."

He questioned her as to why she was going and she told him "I just found out that I can make $400.00 a night doing what I give you for free".

He pondered that then went into the house and packed his bags and returned to the porch and with his wife. She said "And just where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going too!" he replied.

"Why?" She asked.

"I want to see how you are going to live on $800.00 a year"!

Etcetera

Got Poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.

Funny Poop

A cab driver pulled up at a stop sign near Central Park in New York. A stark naked woman jumped out from behind a bush, opened the back door of the cab and demanded to be taken to the airport. The cab driver kept looking back at his passenger in the rear view mirror, and she became irritated and said, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

The cab driver replied, "Well, you don't have any clothes on and no place to carry any money and I am wondering how you are going to pay your fare?"

The woman opened her legs and pointed to her crotch and said, "How about me paying with this?"

The cab driver looked back at the woman and said, "Do you have anything smaller?"

The teacher noticed that Johnny had been day dreaming for a long time. She decided to get his attention. "Johnny," she said, "If the world is 25,000 miles around and eggs are sixty cents a dozen, how old am I?

"Thirty-four," Johnny answered unhesitatingly.

The teacher replied "Well, that's not far from my actual age. Tell me...how did you guess?"

Oh, there's nothing to it," Johnny said. "My big sister is seventeen and she's only half-crazy."
