Once again, a great outing with the fellow RRs. And once again, I got slobbering drunk. For this reason, I remember only portions of what truly happened and make no representation that the following account is historically accurate....

*The ride into Cinci revealed a city completely choked and fairly reeking of Cubs fans. "Un-holy Pilgrims in a holy land."

*Nothing better than arriving to a couple beers ordered especial for you, hat tip obc.

*Correction. The one thing better than that is not paying for them, hat tip obc.

*Immediately, things had a very real potential for disaster, as Ash arrived sans Lookout cap.

*Long hike across the bridge assures I get my mile walk in this year. Man I feel healthy!

*Good looking chicks everywhere!....wearing Cubs apparel. Damn. Heathen Goddesses. We were strong in the face of such temptation, all of us. Ash too.

*Lack of Red Menace lamented by all.

*Season almost over means almost out of decent beer. The last two bottles of Dortmunder from the Machine Room don't go very far. Why does God hate me?

*Season almost over means almost out of brown mustard. Brown mustard has almost blown it's keg and is giving a drop at a completely random pace. Solution? Open all taps and try to catch erratic drops from all spigots while inebriated, then get yelled at by RR buddies for wasting mustard by not getting to each drop in time. Why does God hate me?

*Never arrive late to the game from the Machine Room to join a group of RR's. They will most certainly NOT be sitting in their assigned seats, causing seat hysteria for the whole section in later innings.

*Slyde seems to have bridled his predisposition to "row ho", but has still not issued an apology for his previous behavior. Despicable.

*Ash practically refused to say Fuck in a preemptive effort to ruin all Eyewitness Reports on the evening. We could barely understand her. What the Fuck's up with that?

*We sat with a couple who may or may not have bought extra tickets from me.

*I fear I will never be forgiven alleged ticket sales to Cubs fans, but hey, Daddy needed a new pair of beers.

*Bar Louie pre-game was a good call, hat tip whoever, chandrathan I think. I wouldn't mind it be a routine meet-up location.

*Bar Louie post-game was a good call, hat tip chandrathan (why not?). Traditional discussion ensued. Who to trade for who, whether or not JD hates us, etc.. The usual. :)

*jch24 and chandrathan are the only ones with interesting employment related stories this time around. Sorry guys. Until celebrity is involved, banking, computering, health care providering, and underground utilitying seem dull, don't they?

*Further adding to our feelings of lameness, jch24 has met many local celebs including boobs. WTF?

We're planning on a WS meet-up again this year. It'd be great to see Caleb join the rowdies again and meet Zach, as well as anyone else local who would like to join in. It's good times aaaaand, you'll be able to see Red Menace go 90 for 90 of correctly answered questions as he defends his RR Title.

Now that I'm good and freaked out about how poorly I construct everything I write on this site, I say a quick prayer for mercy from the syntax gods and wince as I hit submit...
