Nothing better to do than rollerblade on a Sunday afternoon in April in Bluffton. Three girls visited the Dari Freeze and then rollerbladed down Main Street.

"Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!"

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 5, 2014 - 3:24pm

It appears that three well-known Bluffton professionals are the newest actors in a remake of the movie "Knuckleheads." Acutally the three celebrated birthdays in March (Mitch on March 19, Dave on March 22, and Neil on March 24). Someone in the adjoining office of 138 N. Main thought she'd put these guy on the next stage leaving town. This poster was glued to the doorway of the three business owners. The icon couldn't resist posting it. Just imagine the dialogue:  "I can't see, I can't see!" "What's'a'matter!?" "I got my eyes closed." [ploink!]
