CASCO'S ULTIMATE MUD CHALLENGE – AUGUST 1, 2015



Belo News

Shark Cove, Mi. - So, what happened last Saturday in the peloton, you might ask? 

Unfortunately, Belo News doesn't know because the News Room only received one report from the Nation.

Ace Reporter and legendary rider, Dr. Dave reported in that Gazelle Girl, the “Sweetheart of the Peloton” had broken a rear wheel and decided to ride a 1949 Vintage Indian Motorcycle. However, subsequent investigative efforts revealed that though she did actually break a wheel, she rode a back up bike and the motorcycle was actually parked at the Queen's Grill (that the Nation knows as “Frona's”) and they took the opportunity to take the photo. Mad Dog had quickly began preparing a protest on her attendance record on a motorcycle but just as quickly, withdrew the protest when he learned she was actually on a bike.

It was also learned that there were approximately 20 riders last week and that is all that was reported.

Obviously, the Nation needs the Sharkman to return!

Oh, the humanity!

And return he will!

This Saturday, July 18, 2015!

Shark Minion Jersey Day!

SHARKMAN HITS PAY DIRT!

Easty's note and check for the "Tour of
Central Kalamazoo County!"
July 13, 2015

Shark Cove, Mi. - When our intrepid hero returned from his California visit with his Sharklet's, he was pleased when he opened his mail and found a check, made out to Sharkman, in the amount of $20 from none other than Easty! Easty, who was amazed at the amount of sites on Sharkman's totally awesome “Tour of Central Kalamazoo County,” had submitted the check for a season pass on the sites! Oh, the humanity!

Sharkman has finally collected! It is reported that he considered cashing the check, but since he does not have an identification card that has his Sharkman name on it, thought that might be difficult. Besides, he is planning to frame this baby as a testament to his entrepreneurial acumen in the world of cycling! Thanks, Easty, you made the Sharkman's day!

Sharkman would like to remind all that it is only $20 for a season pass to see all the sites on the occasional “Tour of Central Kalamazoo County” so save up those dollars and get a check to our intrepid hero as quickly as you can! Summer will soon be over!

MINION MOVIE NOT ABOUT THE NATION!?! HUH?

Belo News
Minions? Well, they do sort of look like the Nation.....
July 10, 2015

Walnut Creek, Ca. - It seemed like anyone who is anyone in the mighty Minion Nation was wild with anticipation for the new Minion Movie. After all, what could be better than a movie about the mighty Minion Nation. Sharkman, also wild with anticipation, took four of his sharklets to see it, sure that they would enjoy watching a movie about creatures that adore their grandpa Shark.

Imagine his disappointment to learn that this movie was in fact, about some other Minions!?! What the........

Despite his disappointment, Sharkman could be heard to be giggling and laughing with his Sharklets through out the movie and as a matter of fact, it kicked butt at the box office, though we suspect that is because so many of the Nation went to see it as well!
