PrintHere's the initial recap of the biggest RR game watch to date, even if it occured one week ago. Several of the inside jokes have been forgotten in a beer haze, gone forever. Others will certainly live on as part of RR history. Leave it to Slyde to get threatened, happens every year...
*I think I'll remember pretty much who was who but I certainly have to hand it to Gray and Ash who makes it real, real easy to do so. I'm sure no one in attendance will ever misidentify Mads from this point forward. Being infamous has its rewards.
*Megan was our server at Bar Louie. She had patience in spades. Initially I was disappointed that The Human Skeleton didn't seem to be working that evening. I hoped that the newbies would get to see her. (Leave it to me and jch to light up cigs and force young Megan to admonish us for our error. The inside patio is nonsmoking, ladies and gents.)
*Lots of phallic graffiti on the Taylor Southgate bridge this year. This is the 4th trip i've made this season and i dont remember that much smut previously. For the record, there were no depictions of female naughty parts. Cincinnati is a terribly misguided city.
*There were these two couples in front of us from Milwaukee. They were the biggest poseurs since Spandeau Ballet. When the tough get going, the going get tough. Or something like that...and can any of y'all younguns on the site explain the fascination with having your underwear pulled up 4-8 inches above the top of the shorts? Seriously, nothing screams Assclown like that wardrobe choice.
*The Reds lost, of course. I think they are 1-6 in games ive seen in person this season.
*Gameworks after the game, as predicted, was not a good choice. i blame jch24 for leaving the Machine Room prematurely, and solo. Next time, BK, we just let him hang by his lonesome, m'kay? I can't begin to describe the drabness of Gameworks on a Saturday night.
Ok, gang, time to fill in the blanks.

BK and Slyde sound different in person
‘tHan and jch are very tall. Hopefully my brother, who met you all in the Machine Room pre-game, has learned a valuable lesson about making friends in real life instead of relying on the internet. Myself, I was pleased as punch and can’t wait to hang out with you degenerates again sometime.
Spotting the guy in the banana suit was a great moment (“CHERRY HUDSON JUNIOR! CHERRY HUDSON JUNIOR!”). Is he a regular, or were we just that lucky?
Fuck rain delays. That’s like the third game I’ve been to this season that had one. And I’ve been to five games.
A week later, and still no pictures?
Impressive.
Also, others are tall but I’m not, eh? Like I said, though: I look just like my picture.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I met you before
I knew what to expect.

Oh, I don't think I've mentioned this to you, but...
WTF was that shot we did in DC? Whatever it was, I never should have taken it.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
You missed out on Slyder partaking in one at Bar Louie before the game
And the waitress being confused when we all broke out into thunderous applause

Haha, I forgot about that.
But why was I the only one cheap enough to go for the special?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I went for the special but i had to have 2 good beers first
’tHan: “Do you have any beer specials”
Megan: “Shock Top for Three Bucks, it’s like Blue Moon”
’tHan: “I will not be having that”

Your standards are way too high.
Then again, I’m cheap enough that $6 pitchers of PBR seemed like a good idea later in the night.
Seriously: if I come back I think we need to take a trip to whatever bar in Covington I was taken to, where the music is loud, the bartender’s a lesbian, and they serve PBR on tap in plastic buckets with pour spouts.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
uh....
could you be more specific?
you’ve only eliminated half of Covington’s bars…
"I piss excellence"
Oh, and I almost forgot
Adam Rosales’s little brother was there, attempting to pick up a sorority girl.
He struck out, of course.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Are you serious?

Maybe if he was wearing them RHCP style
…and they were ankle socks.
by Brendanukkah on Jul 25, 2009 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think the disgusted look she gave him
could be cause by socks.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I got no problem with PBR.
I’ll drink anything that tastes like beer.
I do not however like anything resembling blue moon
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I find it pretty drinkable...
though some of the facsimiles tend more towards the soft drink end of the spectrum, which is unfortunate.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
i'll give you $20
if you can put down 7-8 Burger in an evening.
it tastes nothing like Blue Moon
"I piss excellence"
there is zero chance that i'd be able to complete even the half bardzilla
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
i would love to go there...
i was really pissed that i didn’t get to go this week
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I'll throw in 50 to anyone who can put down a Bardzilla and 8 Burger beers in one sitting
(note: jch is exempted from this challenge)

Everyone at the table had them after you got yours and we found out they were 3 bucks
And I had one after the game too.

I doubt they had it on tap
You can get a 12-pack of it for $6.

Ah, right.
Everything they had on tap was more expensive.
I do have standards!
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
during the week
all pints are $2 at happy hour (i.e. pregame)
saturday games cost more jack
"I piss excellence"
And on Wednesdays, burgers are a buck
I vote to have all future RR outings on Wednesdays.

i was at the other end of the table
and i couldnt figure out what that was all about. then later i saw Slyde with his little umbrella drink and everything came together nicely.
everything after that point is kind of a blur.

Once again
I’ll come out and say that everyone I’ve met from the site have been normal, fantastic people. In theory, meeting a bunch of weirdos from the internet may sound sketchy, but if you’re in the area and are skeptical about coming out to an outing, I assure you that you have nothing to worry about.
jch and I were both drunker than usual, obc and Ash were at their norms. Meeting all the new people was very cool, and Brendan is just as quick-witted in person as he is on here (and you sound different as well, fwiw). The man in the banana costume was an awesome freak occurrence, and I can’t wait until the picture with him and jch is posted. Mads trying to cash his check at the Machine Room was one of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed.
Gameworks absolutely blew, as obc mentioned. The place was dead at midnight on a Saturday, and it killed the vibe we had going pretty quickly after we chased jch over there after he left the park by himself. No good.

I missed the check-cashing incident...
what did they tell him?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
When I was standing by him
and he asked a group of girls who looked about 17-18, they just looked at him horrified.

You should have waited out the rain delay with Ash and I, because even shitty baseball is better than Gameworks.
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

Final time
what was the final reading on the “how fast will mads take to physically touch Ash upon arrival” stopwatch?
"I piss excellence"
You guys are so jealous
Just because I’m old and in the way doesn’t mean I can’t get a quickie hug now and again. If you all tried it you’d be Ash-crushed – Me, I’m just harmless ol’ Mads…

ashes1384 and I look forward to the next RR outing ...
let’s just hope it’s as epic as the last two

yes where are the good pictures of ME
all you’ve shown so far are the ‘sad-sack’ Mads photos….not a single photo of me chatting up Brian B’s wife or me chatting up Alan’s wife, or me hugging Ash…c’mon…

You can find banana guy
I’m working on it, I’ll get some of the pics up tonight, I promise.

which one is the banana guy?

I don't say this very often but..
that guy is enjoying being a banana so much that I think he deserves better than the $14 banana costume.

Ok, you had possession of a bobblehead at that point in the evening...
I’m curious to see where in the progression of photos that it goes missing.
"Sir, can you please put your pants back on?"
We all did.
I’m wondering how many actually made it home and in one piece.
Also in that photo: Mads looking sad. Again.

I think.....
We might just have our answer.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
Okay, picture dump time just for FVA
I picked and choosed, if you don’t like it email me and I’ll send you a ginormous ZIP of the set.
Brewers fans are racist, here’s proof. Nice chinstrap beard, BTW.
The guys blamed for the peanut throwing.
Did we mention that Rosie hit a double and his biggest fan cheered inappropriately?
Oh, and guess where they were staying?
I lied, here’s another Brewers fan. I like the shirt, if not the teeth.
Not to say that our own fans are any better, of course.
As for this guy, I make no excuses. He’s a douche on every level.
If you had to pick a theme for the night I’d say it would be beer, bobbleheads, and drunken idiots.
But heeeeeeeeyyyy, we all had a good time.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
The picture of obc cheering Rosales on made me laugh out loud
Good job all around, and I’m putting in my request for the full set.

"Travelode" got the biggest laugh from me, not sure why
I’ll zip ’em up and find a place to host ’em, and send you a link.

I was impressed you were able to get that pic while you were texting going 115 down the highway

Hey now, when I'm driving 115 down I-74 I concentrate on the road
No pics allowed unless it’s of the speedometer for proof. :)
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
He did not get that pic - I did.
Remember, he walked off in a drunken huff sans camera.
"Sir, can you please put your pants back on?"
The bobblehead
looks like a decent resemblance.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
bringing signs to an opposing team's stadium seems so like Cubs fans
although they’d just spend money and go to a sign shop
Two notes:
1. Yes, I do ruin everything when I show up.
2. Ash’s exchange with the middle finger Brewer fan:
A: Can I take your photo?
MFBF: It’s not going to show up on the internet or anything, is it?
A: No.
MFBF: Yeah, OK.

The only Reds gear I have.
I think I got that when I went to Riverfront. Come to think of it, that would have been 1994 or 1995…
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
