Big Blue Huddle

Dave:   I remember the autograph session last year and you are correct.   IT WAS PACKED.   I had bought a nice Manning photo over at the Crossgate Mall for a friend of mine at the sheriff's dept and was going to see if I could get Eli to sign it.  I took one look at that mob scene and decided he will be happy with just the picture.  Even Adam didn't stay for it and he is the autograph hound.

As long as we are on the subject of blonde I posted this one a few years ago but not on our joke thread so here is is again:

An attractive young blonde gal was out driving around in her shiny new sports car when the weather turned nasty.   It started to hail and her car was pelted with hail stones the size of golf balls.  When the storm ended she got out and examined the damage and was horrified to see several sizeable dents all over her car.

She took it to a body shop to see how much it was going to cost to have the damage fixed.   The manager of the body shop thought he would have a little fun with the blonde and told her she could save a ton of money by fixing the damage herself.  All she had to do was wait for the tail pipe to cool down so she doesn't burn her mouth and blow into the pipe as hard as she can and the dents will pop right out.

She drove the car home and after it cooled down she knelt behind the car and commenced to blow on the tail pipe.  She did this for an hour and was so disappointed when she saw it was having no effect on the damage but she kept at it.  Finally her equally blonde room mate drove up and asked what on earth was she doing.  After she explained what she was doing the room mate said to her " My god how can you be so stupid.  Don't you know you are supposed to close the windows before you start blowing the dents out".



And one blonde joke for the road:


2 blonds came upon a set of tracks.  They couldn't decide what had made the tracks.

Blonde #1 said the tracks were made by a deer.

Blonde #2 said the tracks were made by a fox

They were still arguing when the train hit them.

There is one thing I would add about Lake Rensalier Park.  For those who have net been there yet it is great for our purposes but if it has a draw back there is not a lot of parking space.   If you are going to the BBQ it would be my suggestion to get there by noon or perhaps just a bit later.   When you get into the afternoon hours the park fills up fast.  Last year if memory serves the access road to the park had cars parked on both sides making it basically a one lane rd.   And I believe there was at least one fender bender.

So come early and stay late.   You will be glad you did.

 

Lenn that was great.   But the sad part is there is a lot of truth in it.  I printed it out and showed it around at work and that was pretty much the sentiment.

It made me think of my last trip to the old Yankee Stadium.   My son and I went to Old Timers Day there 2 years ago.  I went to get us a couple of beers.  It looked like the best deal on beer was 24 oz Heineken for $12.50.   So I ordered 2 and took out a twenty and a ten.  The gal took the money and gave me this blank stare.   Then she takes out a hunk of cardboard and writes 12.50 down twice and adds it up to get 25.00    She then writes 30.00 down and subtracts the 25 and finally gives me the $5 change.  I give her credit for getting it right but it was sad to see what she had to go through to come up with it.

I am so sorry to hear this.

Deepest condolences and prayers to Evan's family from ours.

OK  Bighitter    I'll just bet it was "BY BY ALLIE"

squibber:   Thanks for posting that.  I enjoyed it despite the results of the game and my main man Big Red had a couple of fumbles that led to the Giants loss.

It really brought back some great memories of my youth.  I have told the story many times but one of the big reasons I became a Giants fan was that back in the late 50's and early 60's the only NFL football we could get here in Western NY was Cleveland Browns games on CBS channel 4 out of Buffalo.  And it seemed like the only team good enough to give the Browns a decent game was the Giants.  So I started rooting for Big Blue.   More like Big Gray on our old Sylvania Silvertone b&w tv.  And I worked up a pretty good dislike for the Browns but no one had more respect for the talent they had.  Watching the movie The Express about Ernie Davis made me wonder just how good they might have been if he had not tragically died and could have been in the same backfield with Jim Brown.   Could have been scarry.

Anyway-thanks again.

My apologies for taking so long to respond to this.   After reading what everyone has had to say so far it sounds like a GREAT idea to me.  I voted yes.

Ed:   I'm 29 years old.   Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Wait a minute.  You know me.    OK   Me and Jack Benny are 39.

Ed:  Looks like you can add one more to my contingent.  My daughter is driving over from Rochester and will join us.   Her husband still may make it but right now not sure if he can. 

Come on Drake.  Your just thinking about sitting on the front lawn at the Lenhart sipping a cold one.
