Hammered a Lot Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) This was shot at the Bills home opener which just so happened to be the TBDAHOT. And yep a couple of TBDers are in the promo. Can you pick any of them out? Edited December 21, 2016 by Hammered a Lot
Seasons1992 Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Damn Hammer, you run a tight ship it appears! I like it.
metzelaars_lives Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I respect Kenny's dedication- that he goes to every game and such- but am I the only one who finds the ketchup and mustard part of his shtick more than a little moronic? Like it's not funny, it's just bizarre. He doesn't have to do that to be a tailgate legend, he already is one. What is he thinking and feeling when he's cleaning up after doing it? The whole thing is just weird. Like I'll go on a diatribe to a non-Bills fan about how legendary Bills tailgating is and then I get to that part of it and people will respond with simple questions like "why?" and I have no answers for them. I can't be the only one who feels this way. Edited December 21, 2016 by metzelaars_lives

metzelaars_lives Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Yeah, you probably are. Is it something I have to witness to understand how awesome it is? I've been to the lot- everything else about his setup is cool- but you're saying the ketchup and mustard thing is not weird at all, it's only awesome?
Hammered a Lot Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Is it something I have to witness to understand how awesome it is? I've been to the lot- everything else about his setup is cool- but you're saying the ketchup and mustard thing is not weird at all, it's only awesome? I know Kenny fairly well, spending time with him on Saturday's, Sundays, after everyone has left the lot we do a cool down/reflection of the day at the BTI and I did his roof on his house. Kenny does the K&M for the tailgaters. They would be disappointed if he stop it and Kenny is to nice of a guy to do that. The K&M leds into a group rally with the Bills Shout song playing and the tailgating family dancing. Kenny confided to me last game. A woman came up to him, placed a small container of her husband ashes in his pocket so that he could be part of the K&M. And yes you have to witness it. It never gets old. Don't forget to dance.

I can't be the only one who feels this way. You're not. I'm sure there is a story behind it and it sits well with the other tailgators. But I would imagine the rest of the country watching it thinks it's ridiculous.
Heitz Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 This was shot at the Bills home opener which just so happened to be the TBDAHOT. And yep a couple of TBDers are in the promo. Can you pick any of them out? Uhhhh, I think I saw Hammer in there? And, for the record, the entire Vermont crew was stoked to see that cameo! Can't wait to see the full show, I think I'm in the background a bit since I was dragging them around the Lot to the good food before the K&M ceremony...

But man oh man, when I go, please spread my ashes over the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone or something. And that's the other tailgaters' problem if they want to see another guy mercilessly doused in ketchup and mustard in freezing conditions and then have to clean up (that's another question I have- what does the clean up process entail?) Does Kenny derive any satisfaction from being doused in ketchup and mustard- like is it a weird fetish?- or is it purely for others' satisfaction? Edited December 21, 2016 by metzelaars_lives

plenzmd1 Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 The K&M is part of the tradition...why question it? BTW, hate to admit the knucklehead Jet fan Hammer is kicking out was with us...a friend of my nephew from UB, first time I had met him. Thankfully Hammer knocked some sense in him, he came back and had a two-hour nap and plenty of water, and was a perfect gentleman and tailgater after that scolding!

I can't be the only one who feels this way. Kenny is a really great guy. Down to earth, die hard as they come. I actually think his routine is something people look forward to as part of a "tradition" of sorts. If he didn't do it...people would ask why (99% would anyway). In a day when guys are crashing into burning tables, banging their skulls into buses or drinking vodka from some chick's ass...Kenny is a throwback to what good tailgating is all about.

We can shoot your ashes out of a shirt cannon over Hammers Lot! Others satisfaction as I implied. He can't wait for his kid to take over. Clean up takes about 4 minutes.

Clean up takes about 4 minutes. How the heck does it only take 4 minutes to clean up? The guy is soaked in ketchup/mustard. I would think a full blown shower is in order, unless he goes unto the game with mustard stains on his beard.

I can't be the only one who feels this way. I think it is ridiculous too, but I think a lot of things his group does are kind of crazy, like the way they cook, keeping the pinto running etc, drinking shots out of a bowling ball... But with that being said, I have never heard a bad word said about Kenny from anyone ever in the parking lot, the guy still seems like he loves doing it, he has a great national following & he obviously is a diehard Bills fan so I say more power to him.
NyQuil Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 I read the article. Can't believe TBN used the phrase "butt-chug."
PromoTheRobot Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 How the heck does it only take 4 minutes to clean up? The guy is soaked in ketchup/mustard. I would think a full blown shower is in order, unless he goes unto the game with mustard stains on his beard. He wears an oversized t-shirt that catches most of the K&M. I think there is a portable shower bag for his hair and face. After hundreds of times, he has it down.
mead107 Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Kenny is awesome. Hammer is awesome. We all have a lot of fun in his lot.
