Once again this year, Pip made his yearly trek to the Cleveland area for a weekend of reliving memories and debauchery. This year’s trip happened to coincide with Opening Day for the Indians so we headed down to the stadium to take in a game with my brother Marko and buddy Al. Pip had never been to the stadium so it was super cool to have a “first timer” there though I can’t say the Tribe played all that well… we were down 14-0 in the 4th inning. At least I can say that the didn’t roll over and die… Continue reading
As we have for many years, Pip and I got together (once again this year with my brother Marko) to watch WrestleMania 27 and attempt a great feat… The Beeramid. As always, we had our list of rules to govern the night’s action. We were ready and willing… but were we able?
Let The Games Begin
At this point I don’t think the first beer had even been popped. Truly the faces of the optimistic as we knew (but possibly had forgotten) what lay ahead. Pip took care of our “uniforms” for the evening once again. He’s rocking the Strike… Continue reading
I recently got a new Verizon iPhone 4 for work purposes so I’m officially out of the Blackberry nation. I have to say that I enjoyed my Blackberry but now that I’m used to it this iPhone is just SO… MUCH… BETTER. There are a ton of iPhone reviews out there so I won’t bother going into it here. The biggest upgrade that I see from my Curve 2 is the camera. This thing is epic and takes awesome pictures. Here’s a couple of my recent random shots… enjoy.
This is simply a shot of my shirtsleeve. I love this… Continue reading
So if you’ve been keeping up here, you know that ol Pip went and got himself married this past weekend. The wife and I went back to my old stomping grounds of Bloomington, Indiana to partake in the festivities… and partake we did!
We rolled in on Friday evening just in time for the wedding rehearsal and dinner. The Pips decided to get married at a BEAUTIFUL facility on the south side of Bloomington called Deer Park Manor. I spent 4+ years in Bloomington and never even knew it was there. After the walk through was done, we headed to… Continue reading
Well Pip beat me to it on Facebook, but I simply MUST post the 2010 Beeramid photos here on 406. As per tradition, we had our WrestleMania 26 Drinking Game that was helping us along the way in our quest. This year however, we decided not to just take a “before” and “after” picture, but also decided to do a little pictorial. So here, without further adieu… is Beeramid 2010!
The Calm Before The Storm
Row #1 - We're On Our Way
Row #2 - In For A Long Haul
At this point, we knew we were in for a… Continue reading
This past weekend we had our annual family clam bake at my cousin’s house in Pennsylvania. I’m happy to report that unlike last year, the weather completely cooperated and we had an AWESOME day. As per tradition, we had 20+ dozen clams, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, potatoes, shrimp, home made ice cream and beer.
Early in the afternoon, I was hanging out on the porch talking with my cousin and G was poking around down in the yard near the cooler. I heard him calling for me so I paused from my conversation and asked him what he wanted to… Continue reading
I’m not a big fan of email jokes, but every once in a while I get one in my inbox that gets me. Ran across this one today (from my mom no less) and figured I’d pass it along.
A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks the wife.
‘They’re on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,’ he replies.
‘Put them back, we can’t afford them,’ demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few… Continue reading
It’s almost go time here on WrestleMania Sunday! Pip and I are giddy with optimism for the show this evening. We took it easy last night cause we know we’ve got a long road ahead of us this evening… The Beeramid is a formidable opponent but we’re confident that once again we’ll manage to take it down. We sat down last night and came to our final list of rules for this evening’s festivities.
Pizza… check
Wings… check
Snacks… check
Beer… check, check, check
It’s the Grandaddy of em all… WrestleMania time!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Pic From 406 and I figured this was just the thing to “get me back in the game” so to speak. While we’re much more mature and grown up these days (OK maybe not all of us) I ran across this picture on the hard drive and it literally made me laugh out loud.
I don’t remember the exact circumstances (shocking) but seeing Buford holding his beer aloft in what I can only describe as “praise” is awesome. We’re certainly getting older but it’s memories like these that will keep my 406… Continue reading
WrestleMania XXVI will take place on March 28th in Arizona. I’m happy to say that after working through some logistical issues, Pip and I will once again renew our Beeramid tradition! As with years past, we have created these “rules of engagement” which will help us to construct that glorious structure.
The last time Pip and I got together we came dangerously close to “one night one case” and I’m thinking March 28th just may be the night… time will tell. Let’s get it on!
ED NOTE: Looking back over the photos from last year, we realized that we… Continue reading
