Still seeing red

Man oh man Jeffrey's beach party and cook out was a success, other than Chrissy being burnt to a crisp.

This is what I learned this fine weekend:
1. No one wants to work but we all have to so stop bitching.
2. Being 47 years old with 3 kids, ages 15, 8 and 6 then finding out you are going to be a dad again must be stunning. Congrats Layden!
3. Kids love bunk beds, and apparently they love when Derek buys them.
4. Jurassic World was pretty damn good. Chris Pratt is basically Star Lord dressed as Indiana Jones the dinosaur whisperer.
5. Any drink that comes flying out of your nose is painful.
6. Lets move some t shirt units for the pub crawl guys. I dont want to lug 75 shirts around.
7. TK is geared up for this Mustache Pub Crawl, said it is going to be like 1983 all over again.
8. Smiddy is going to have a a slip and flip tournament at his place in Southie. Have you signed up yet?
9. The Harpoon Shandy is something. Grapefruit in a beer is quite odd but yet not off putting.
10. Calnan is out shopping for his outfits for when we go to a Georgia football game this year. Says you can't dress like a chump off the streets at the SEC games.
11. Jeffrey is now in the creep shots group text. Lets see what he can bring to the table. Its a tough crowd, ask Paddy.
12. I found out Braintree day is the Saturday before July 4th. BIG TIME PARADE AND PARTY!!
13. Children play house at 3 and 5? Shocking to me.
14. Chrissy is looking for a food challenge, does anyone know of any? The kid loves free shirts.

Don't forget the MPC starts at 1 this Saturday. Hope to see ya all. Chrissy already shaved his stache in.

Heat wave

Look at this we are gonna have 5 days over 35... talking bout a heat wave.

This is what I learned this weekend (12 pack version):
1. The spicy omelette sandwich from Dunks isn't that spicy.
2. Boston Suburbs - Does yours suck?
3. Some weekends you just need a sweatpants, T shirt and couch day.
4. Thanks Boston Bruins for ONLY going up 2 dollars a ticket next  year.
5. Congrats to Coach Ervin Flowers and the Cathedral High boys team for making the championship game, tonight at the Garden, 4:00 pm start if you want to show your support. Cathedral Alum TK will probably be there.
6. This whole Android 5.0 lollipop operating system kind of sucks.
7. Red Sox opening day is only 28 days away. Maybe when baseball actually starts, we can all feel like winter is over.
8. Star Wars is getting its first LGBT character.
9. For all you dog lovers.
10. Bill Smiddy is gonna be a Boston cop?
11. I am bringing back the term "shit stain", you fucking bunch of shit stains.

Thats all she wrote for now.

Chrissy is planning a trip to NC to see Mike Foley if anyone wants in...text Chrissy at 617-835-6437.

Popeyes Ghost Pepper wings

I love Popeye's and everyone knows I love hot wings, so when I saw a commercial that they combined them I was pumped. I got 12 ghost pepper wings and although the chicken itself was great I was a little disappointed in the heat level. I wasn't expecting crazy hot,  I figured they would mellow it out even using the ghost pepper but this was barely hotter than their spicy flavor they usually have.  Maybe its because its a dry rub and not a sauce but you can save the time of running out to get these.

Thats how you review a place Smiddy!

It was a battle - a 59 minute battle

It was like the Thunderdome, 2 men enter one man leaves type shit:

 A battle of  man vs a 3 lb burger. In this corner we have Mike "Flounder" Foley, Chris "Boom Boom" Leaden and Chrissy "I paid for it so I am eating it all" MacPhail.

Ian, the catering manager running this shit show at Fuddruckers said the total weight of the burger - patty, cheese, bacon, and bun was 5 total lbs.

Out of the gate Chrissy started with a furious pace - half the burger was gone in 6 minutes. Leaden went for more of a slow and steady wins the race approach. Meanwhile, Foley was methodically slicing and dicing his way to a win.

Here is what Foley had left. When he realized half way through, that he had no chance he wrapped up what was left and called it a day.

Effort: C+ 
Results: C

The tortoise did not win this race. Leaden left around 1 lbs left (that's beef, cheese, bacon and bun).
Effort: B 
Result: B+

Look at the size of that fucking burger:

Chrissy had 3/4ths of the burger done with in a half an hour. After a quick puke with 15 minutes to go he tried to finish the last of it but another dash to the bathroom with 5 minutes left was in order. After his second puke, and with a minute to spare he finished off the last of it)
(Sorry for the poor quality picture - I think Rio still has a Nokia flip phone)

Sorry bout the bad camera work. That was William "Junior Whopper" Smiddys one job.
As you can see  my job was to hype up the crowd and get everyone in the joint involved.
TWO MORE BITES
TWO MORE BITES
TWO MORE BITES

As they say WINNERS WIN!
For all his hard work Chrissy gets a free t shirt(mustard yellow) and 2 free meals at Fuddruckers.
57 had tried it but only 4 had succeeded!

It looks like this trio is off to try this next:


Anyone else feel up to it?

Survivor

I hope that everyone survived Snowmegeddon 2013! Since I didn't have power from Friday night at 9:30 till Sunday morning my weekend was actually kind of a loss.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Yes, that is a river of sea water rushing by my house at high tide on Friday night:

2. You never expect to see your breath inside your house and you never expect your house to get down to 41 degrees either.
3. This guy doesn't seem to mind the snow storm:

4. Nothing is worse than a restaurant opening at 6:00 and basically seating everyone at the same time. Mistakes and lack of service are gonna happen.

5. I heard the Quincy Fire department is hiring.

6. I can't believe that dude Macklemore is white.

7. Chrissy may not have power until Tuesday/Wednesday. Thank god he has plenty of beer and a wood burning stove.

8. New snow boots suck. I feel like I am walking in ski boots. Hey Columbia blow me.

9. Does anyone know of any loft type condos for sale in or around Boston. Dave and Doe want to come back to Mass and want a loft unit.

10. Nothing like getting new pillows.

11. Every one in my neighborhood has a snow blower and man they look like fun. I think that's my next big purchase.

12. Spoke to my neighbor about repaving the drive way. Lets hope that happens sooner rather than later.

13. There is nothing fancy about Margaritas but man I like it there.

14. Katie wasn't as surprised about her New Kids tickets as I thought she would be.

15. I know everyone freaks out about storms. They buy Milk, bread and eggs at the grocery store. Well guess what I made French Toast. So suck it!

16. Nothing quite like seeing your neighbors drinking Bourbon and Bud Heavies at 9:30 am.

17. I am compiling burger joints for blog review. So if you have any suggestions please let me know. I am thinking maybe 1 list of chain restaurants and 1 of other establishments.

18. The dart team is back and revamped. I heard that Chrissy turned them down to join the roster. They tied 6-6 this past week. Next week they are at Rags. Hope you guys can make it.

Hope everyone was safe in the storm.
I have been doing wellness checks on Chrissy. He is delusionally drunk. He told me his dog Stella has started talking back  to him...keep ya posted.

Super Bowl Weekend

Oh, I know everyone is all excited for this Harbaugh vs Harbaugh super bowl. The real question is where is the party at? No one is talking about bars, squares or any type of pools.

1. The Bruins still score as soon as I get up and go to take a piss.

2. Mike Gs new nick name is Mike B. The kid lives for bachelor parties.

7. Jeffrey received his 1st kiss from a black chick. Tremendous.
8. TK was the fanciest dressed guy at the Wickendon Pub.
9. I do not think 12 guys eating and drinking like kings for $1247.68 is a lot of money.
10. The new chicken nuggets from BK are not bad. They taste like the ones from Mcdonalds except the chicken is real.
11. There is nothing worse than when your phone will not connect to the network. Its like being locked in a cave and when you finally get out the sun burns your eyes.
12. Strip clubs with $10 covers and $5 beers are ok in my book.
13. Even though I am no longer on the dart team or playing any more - I am going to the Captains meeting tonight. Chrissy you want officially on the team?
14. Rio is on a self appointed suspension for his drinking actions on Saturday.
15. I dont know why Boston has 94.5 96.9 101.7 and 107.9 for radio stations. They are all the damn same.
16. WB is releasing yet another Batman animated series, This one called Beware the Batman.
17. Harry S. Truman's middle name is S.
18. There is a beer that is $22.50 a bottle. The #28 at the Wickendon Pub.
19. Chrissy, Jeffrey and Mario are all looking to get some ink.
20. Who else has tickets to the Package Tour? Chrissy is making his "I Lost My Virginity to Please Don't Go Girl" shirt as we speak.
21. Does anyone know if Ryan has gotten in touch with Chuckie yet?
22. I would put money on Iggles to win one of those fast eating food contests.

Lets work on a plan to catch the Super bowl fuckers.
