I may have a vehicle for tomorrow night. He didnt seem to care as long as I wasn't drinking (and i hadn't really planned to).

I just noticed the bears play the packers on Xmas day! What greater gift could we possibly get?! Oh wait, the bears need to beat the packers on Xmas day!

Yea..

anyway, see you guys(and gals) tomorrow night. I'll let you know if there's any kind of change.

 

The bears WILL beat the packers... I was at the game tonight and DAMN WAS IT #$%&'n COLD!!!!!!

Looking forward to the meet tomorrow! See you all there

 

man you dedicated bears fans! i was in the city last night and i froze my butt off! it was bitter cold, and that wind just ripped right through you!

hope you had electric socks and stuff!

and ... dont forget .... we also have wisconsin folks in our group, so ya might get some backtalk from those packer fans

 

packer fans? well I guess I'll tell this joke then!

So there's a family of packer fans, mother, father, son and daughter, all packer fans. One night the packers are playing the bears and as usual, the packers beat the bears but the bears play a tough game (this is sad but true, fortunately this year will not be a repeat of previous years). So that night, the son is thinking about how great a game the bears play and he decides that he wants to be a bears fan.

The next day, the entire family goes to the mall, and they're in macy's (the f'ing bastards who are killing off marshall fields) and he finds a bears jersey. Since he's decided he wants to be a bears fan, he picks up the jersey and shows it to his sister.
The following conversation ensues:
Son: "hey sis! I want to get this jersey!"
Daughter: "What the hell?! A bears jersey?! Are you insane! We're packers fans! Your mother would kill you! You better go talk to her before you buy that."

So the son goes and talks to his mother:
Son: "Hey mom, can I get this jersey?"
Mother: "What the hell are you thinking!? We're packers fans! your father would kill you if you bought that! Are you stupid?! what the hell is wrong with you?!"

So he goes and talks to his father. Before he can even speak his father sees the jersey and smacks him upside the head.
Father: "What the hell are you doing?! Put that bears jersey down! what's wrong with you?!"
Son: "I want to be a bears fan though!"
Father: "What?! We're packers fans! No son of mine will be a disgraceful bears fan! What the hell is wrong with you!? we're leaving!"

So the family leaves and on their way through the parking lot, the father says to the son:
Father: "So son, have you learned anything today?"
Son: "Yea dad, I've only been a bears fan for 1/2 an hour and I already hate you f-ing packer fans!"

 

^ hahahahahahahaha!

:changes to muffled laughter out of respect for our friends from the north:

 

I deep fried a turkey in the parking lot while tailgating. Looks like a lot of us were there.

 

I watched the game in HD. It was beautiful. ESPNHD on DISH has the best picture I've ever seen. And man, bears' defense looked amazing. I would NOT want to be taking a hit from any of those guys.

 

All the love going around reminds me of a heart felt tale from home in Florida a few years back...

A kind mall Santa was listening the the desires of the children when one little boy came and sat on his lap. He told Santa that he wanted a Power Ranger. Santa proceeded to inform the little boy that he was wearing a Florida State sweatshirt, and that Santa only like Florida Gators fans. The little boy began to cry as he left Santa's lap. The father of the little boy discovered the comment made about Santa only liking Gators fans.

The Christmas gifts for Santa and Father that year were assault and disorderly conduct charges from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Warms the heart doesn't it?

 

is that a tru story RD?

and deep fried turkey is the BIZZOMB!!! omg, my sister and her family make that ... YUM! i may have to suggest it for christmas dinner! i will be in the south, and in the south ... everything goes if its fried!!!

 

Just a reminder in case you fell asleep!!!

Portillo's | Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights, IL

A lot of forum folks come to Chicago for Christmas, so we are trying to all get together to meet IRL (in real life). Our current guests are: Ajax, DazyGirl415, Rhawb, Tiggerlee so far ...

 

That should say "Our HONORED guests"

kthxbye.

 

Yeah that's a true story, happened about 5-6 years ago in Jacksonville at one of the malls. It still brings a tear to my eye.

 

You know I love that one!!! It's funny, cuz it's true

 

That's an awesome tailgating idea! I got a fryer for Father's day, and went nuts this summer making Turkey, chicken wings, PB sandwiches... basically anything I could get my hands on. I'm think I'm gonna do a bird on Christmas day if it's not snowing or raining.

 

Do you remember this also? I wish I had the article, that one was a keeper.

 

 

Did you know Santa had a southern accent. I went to a outlet mall in Conroe, TX and Santa said "Hello, Y'all". I would think you would hear things like "Ya hey derr".

 

Ya hey derr is up in da UP (pronounced yo-pee)

 

 

If anyone needs a pick-up and a drop-off from a train station, I can help. I live just a few miles from the Portillo's.
