October - Tug's Talking Here - Unedited Version
October’s Brimmer
Well, where do I begin? It has been a busy month for Tug’s Talking Here, on Labor Day weekend, 10 of us went to Chicago to see the Phils vs. the Cubs with Phils Fever which is a part of the Green Legion, that I always rave about, Quimby always runs a top shelf trip and this was no exception. We had a pub crawl on Fri. night, “crawl” is the operative word here, we were on Division Street which has bars, bars and more bars, our illustrious steward, Tom Wengo, believe it or not got up on stage at Shenanigan’s and did a medley of Rolling Stones’ hits, included in this was him spraying the crowd with champagne, there are photos of this on www.greenlegion.com, under photos, obviously! Wengo and Obie decide that they were going to take beers out of the bar, so, they can drink while they walk to the bar, next door, you do never know if you are going to get thirsty, anyway, the Obster, takes one step out of the bar, falls down and breaks the Coors Light in his pocket, think “down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier”, Wengo has 3 bottles in his pocket, open of course, climbs into a cab and they spill all over him and the cab, good job, guys! We were staying at the Whitehall hotel right off of the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chi Town, which is a beautiful hotel, anyway, our hero, Obie, gets into a cab, slightly intoxicated, okay, more then slightly, anyway, Tom Wenger Jr., hears him tell the cabbie that he was staying at White Castle,
Tommy told him that he wasn’t at the hamburger joint, when Obie corrected himself and told the poor driver that he was staying at the White House!
There is a lot more to talk about with this weekend, with the roof top seats, Mo donating his glasses to the poor of Chicago, Rich, well, just being Rich, Freddy Mac, who slept all day and wanted to party all night, but lack of Space makes it impossible to tell the whole story, by the way, Arnold, I just wanted to get your name in the newsletter!
On the flight back to Philly, Wengo gets up in the plane turns towards the passengers and makes an announcement, well, think post 9-11, which was only a week away at that point, the shock on the passengers faces was quite evident, Wengo says “My name is Tom Wenger and I spent the weekend with Obie O’Brien and I am an alcoholic”, people sitting behind us were quite relived when we informed them of what he said! You can’t make this stuff up!
When we last heard about our hero, Tigger, he was trying to get a job teaching Tiggerish in Korea, well, their gain is our loss, on a recent afternoon, Tigger was directing a fellow worker on how to get on the Schuykill, after helping his buddy load up the back of his car with some left over foam, Tigger was leading this poor soul who had to get direction from Tigger, think of a GPS that speaks a foreign language, Tigger’s buddy, Pooh, gets smacked in the back of head by a piece of foam, he hits the gas pedal and rams Tigger on the expressway, ruining his truck, he now has a new truck, stop by the Club on any Fri.
afternoon for a free ride, Mrs. Kiger, I know that you are so proud!
Obie and Peggy has made an adventure land at their house on Aramingo Ave., they will be dressed as Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin and lead your children, under 5 years old, please, thru the “Pumpkin Patch”, that they have created there, admission is always free, you must make reservations though, in case Obie is watching SportsCenter, operators are standing by, so, please call ahead of time to make reservations.
Enough said…………………………
P. S. Coming attractions, I am heading out to Chicago for the Eagles vs. Bears game with Matty E., so, please save me a couple of pages in next month’s Brimmer with the antics of Mr. Edgar, talk about a Windy City!
