A poncho gets you a kiss on the cheek. She suffered enough. .

I’d stick one on the practice squad.

I mentioned this in another thread, but a trip to Target might be a good idea. A few years back I got a text from @Seasons1992 (a local) before a Bills game on a VERY rainy Sunday in Cincinnati. With his weather warning, I went to Target and in the camping section they have ponchos in packages smaller than a deck of cards. I bought every red, white or blue one they had for like $1.48 each. We tailgated under an overpass, so that was dry. But when it was time to march over to the game the ponchos became a popular item. Groups would send over their cutest female to beg for a handful. 😂 If you don’t have good rain gear, this is a fairly simple solution that worked fairly well. It’s CERTAINLY better than nothing! .

Yeah, but Tommy Doyle fully participated today. What more can we ask for???

He is my all-time favorite. A real class act. We followed him around at the tournament in Miami for a while. He had a flock of little kids following him around and they were all laughing while he messed up their floppy hair. He’s got a little Josh in him, he’s impossible not to like. It’s amazing that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all have 20-22 Major titles. Serena Williams is as dominant as I’ve ever seen in tennis, and she “only” has 23 Majors. Good luck to any guy outside the Big Three trying to steal a Major. These guys have owned the tour for a LONG time!

I don’t think that is why…….

Very hard to tell……🤷‍♂️

Worth noting here, before a rainy game in Cincinnati I went early in the morning to a Target. In the camping section they have ponchos that fold up smaller than a deck of cards. I bought every blue or red poncho they had, making me quite popular at the tailgate. They were only about $1.50 each and if you don’t need it, no big deal. If you do need it? Big deal!

May God bless, and may you sleep soundly thru every night. 😂 Our “Good Son” was a freshman when we got the call. He got caught buying beer with a fake ID he got for $25. His friend Frank was from our hometown, but a different school. I had never met him, but he bailed out our son. Frank was in the wedding and we see him from time to time. He will forever be know as Bail Out Frank.

I’m on to you mister! I think you know exactly where your wallet is, and you are NOT really a doctor! No opinions on the drug addled existence. Who am I to judge?

We’ve got some of our best minds on it. Dammit! A first world problem I hope we have forever!!!

When our son was in high school I found a can of florescent orange spray paint in his car. I was afraid to ask, but a parent has to do such things. I think it’s a rule. He explained that he went out with a friend from the football team and they were going cow tipping. When they saw how peaceful the cows were, they didn’t have the heart to “tip them”, so they decided to “decorate them”. That’s a strange thing to be proud of, but I’m glad they had a heart. Some farmer may disagree. 🤷‍♂️

After a round of March Madness in Orlando, followed by hours of bar time, I needed a late ride to my hotel in what turned out to be a sketchy area. It was really late, and drivers were few. The guy who picked me up said “I was going home for the night, but I saw you were a 5.0 rider. That’s rare, so I decided on one more ride.” Translation? I think I may tip too much but I’m sure by now some drivers have seen thru that and may rating has dropped. Tip well, and as the New Orleans cab signs say “don’t puke, pee or poop in the car”. There is a fine for that. They have those signs for a reason.

IDK (anything, really), but did he know something about one of the guys in that room? It was oddly specific. This could be seen as trying to help after the (sad) fact. I don’t recall if I ever saw the exact wording. It could mean different things I suppose? I’m not making a case for either side. This is too complicated with too many unknowns for me to have an opinion. All I know is it’s horribly sad and has seriously damaged a lot of lives, including those of family members of those directly involved. Can you imagine your child being involved in any way?

Don’t worry, he likes ranch with his wings. What more need I say?

@mead107 is the only reason we got in last year. I made the mistake of coming in and needing to make a left into the lot. It was 7AM and there was too much traffic to make a left without Mead going out to stop cars. Helpful hint: If you are going, I highly recommend either being super early or making sure you make a right turn into the lot.

Try what I have a few posts up. Maybe a dozen posts? It’s easy, and it’s easy to see. .

I’d LOVE to see that on replay (assuming we win 🤞). I don’t think I could do it live, but the replay would be awesome….with the proper outcome, of course. I take NOTHING for granted.

“Are you Josh Allen?” in my best Ghostbusters voice. The answer is always yes when you are facing that nimble little minx. She means business!

But she is the most beautiful girlf you could ever imagine, and the wallet is bulging with $100 bills and Platinum cards! (Or whatever a good thing is.) Guys need dreams, sometimes. Know what I mean?

I bet this @HOUSE can find his damn wallet!

I think 300 pages is almost a lock, as we limp to the finish line.

I’m not an old-timer like many here are, but here are a few thoughts: * Many of the people you will meet have been doing this together for a long, long time. They know each other and there is a great sense of camaraderie. It’s almost like a family picnic. If your family drinks quite a bit. * If you are from out of town, bring your own beverages, and maybe some extras. Only the overachievers can pull off a crazy good tailgate out of a hotel room. I fly in, so it’s hard to do much. If there is something you can bring in terms of food, all the better. But people are very generous and there is a lot of food. * It seems like a strangely high percentage of people have traveled a long way to be there. You won’t meet a ton of people from Hamburg. * The Prime parking is toward the front and kind of circles the wagons (OK, in this case vehicles) so there is a little central tailgate area. The other parking is toward the back and much bigger. People doing their own thing everywhere. It’s awesome! * You can park anywhere and stroll up and visit. There will probably be name tags so you can recognize posters and identify yourself if you like. We got ours at the @mead107 Stromboli stand last year. A wise old tailgater, that one! * There is a row of porta-potties, with some reserved for women. After a while, they get about like you would expect, but any port in a storm! * They start early! I was there at 7am for a 1:00pm game last year and couldn’t get into the lot for all the traffic. * Oh, and hover cars, hover cars are everywhere! (OK, maybe not that last one.) I’m not the expert here, but have done it multiple times and have never been disappointed. ENJOY! ., .

I don’t know, might a plastic spork be a more apt simile?

Note to self: Never marry an angry elf!
