November's Brimmer
November’s Brimmer
First of all, I want to thank our Editor, “Perry White” for financing my Green Legion trips, last month, I am sure that he will have a full report on the monies spent at our next meeting.
I am a big fan and supporter of the Green Legion, if you ever want to enjoy an Eagles away game, let Marilyn and Quimby take care of all the details, first class all of the way, www.greenlegion.com okay, enough for the plugs, back to the (ab)normal part of my newsletter, the weekend of Sept. 28th, Matty E. and myself headed to Chicago for the Eagles vs. Bears game, we had a great time, there are pictures and links to the march to the game from Bar Looie, where we had our tail gate party, on the web blog, on Sat. afternoon while in a bar on Division St. in anticipation of watching the Phils clinch the NL East, about 300 of us showed up to find out that Fox had blacked the game out, so, we could watch a meaningless Cubs game, of course, we were in Chicago, so, I guess that makes sense, undaunted by this happening, Quimby sent Marilyn back to his hotel room for his lap top, connected to his Sling Box at home, climbed into the ceiling at Shenanigans, got the security camera, mounted it near his lap top and we watched the Phils victory on 8 TV’s, great job, Macgyver! Matty E. was in his glory, a whole town full of people that have never seen his act and the boy didn’t disappoint, we were walking to breakfast and I was behind him, I turned on Bellevue St. and Mr. E. kept on walking, about 2 blocks before he realized that I wasn’t behind him, Sat. night, we went to Bar Chicago, where it set up that if you had on your wrist band, we had free beer from 8P – 10P and $2. bottles after that, till 5AM, no,
Obie wasn’t bartending with those hours, anyway, our hero tells me while walking in the block of the bar, that he forgot his wrist band and knew exactly where it was, on the sink in the hotel room, he decided that he would be like Slick Willie Sutton and sneak pass the doorman, which he did, well, the next morning, Matty realized that he was wearing the wrist band, the old time, it had rode up his arm when he put his jacket on, oh, Matty, you have done it again and again and again!
The weekend of Oct. 12th, Joe McGarrity and myself made the trek to San Francisco for the Eagles vs. the Niners, thanks again to Perry for getting me first class seats, I will be turning that expense report in soon! Anyway, it was Fleet Week in San Fran, besides it being a beautiful city, we rode the cable car, saw the Golden Gate Bridge, Joe was upset to find out that it wasn’t named after his golfing partner, “Joe Golden”, on suggestion of the reining Putso Award winner, Jim McGovern, we went to Lefty O’Douls, a fine restaurant to watch the Phillies playoff game, unfortunately, the dinner music that was playing in the background wasn’t conducive to watching a baseball game, so, we relocated to another sports bar where we hooked up with the gang from Owen’s in North Wildwood, Mike, Shawn, Phil and the Patterson boys know how to party! I have to tell you that there is nothing like being at Alcatraz, sitting in the recreation yard watching the Blue Angels do their thing and buzz The Rock, by the way, Hal “Back in the Day” Carty told this reporter that he remembers the rock when it was just a pebble. There are photos and links to these trips on the web blog, http://www.aohdivision87.blogspot.com check them out, I know that I haven’t been updating it, but it will be updated on a continual basis.
A couple of quick announcements, the Scats Dever walk/run is on Sunday, Nov. 9th, at AOH Division 87 South, aka Callahan’s, Taney and South Sts., a great time, starting about 9AM, also, Nov. 13th is the Comedy Night, if it isn’t sold out, already, check with
Tommy Wenger, it promises to be a fun night with Joe Conklin and Tommy Healey reliving their childhood where they grew up in the same neighborhood, having a “Joke Off”, Perry, that does say “joke off”, not the other, so, call off the censors. Well, how much more damage can I do, I am sure more, stay tuned!
