McLovin' McDonald

The Browns put a good, old-fashioned beatdown on the Texans, so we were pretty happy about that (<- romeo-ism). The day started with an unusually crowded muni lot for this time of year. Perhaps more folks are coming out now that the Browns are winning games. We're going to have to start arriving even earlier than usual. Chris joined us on short notice to be an amigo-for-a-day. He wound up chatting it up with a friend of Josh Cribbs' agent and got some juicy gossip. We are certain it is all true. The deacon stopped by in santa garb with his elves. We were also visited by a chef who wound up planting himself outside the Hawaiian tailgate hoping to spot some boobs. As of the time we left for the game, he was pulling a big O-fer. Matt washed Dan's poncho (a good idea), but then forgot it at home. He was very upset. Especially after spilling beer all over himself. He truly is Dan's twin. To be fair, it was Larry's fault for throwing something at him, but funny nonetheless. Now, on to the pictures!

The deacon is looking for money to buy some stickers.

Still looking.

There was a naughty elf and a nice elf.

Adorable.

Benny Benny Coco Benny!

Benny couldn't wait to help us finish off the tequila.

In case you missed it, Larry won the Iron Chef championship with his pizza roll recipe.

Stop me if you've heard this one: A Mexican, a chef, a blowup doll, and a Hawaiian walk into a bar...

Matt is all wet. Larry is laughing at him. Matt will get revenge.

And you thought they were upset about the game.

Aliens Among Us

It was a long day, but it didn't feel like it. We were visited by an alien, whose mysterious powers brought us much joy. We visited the Braylon Bunch just in time for Matt to join the beer bong. Also, some guys had too much beer left in their keg and a juicy turkey in the deep fryer, so we spent some time there. Coincidentally it was the tailgate of the alien who had already morphed into human form. Yes, Matt had a good time at his first official game replacing Dan, and Keith joined in on the fun, too. The overtime win over the Seee-hawwwks was a thriller, so it wound up being a super terrific day.

New format to the blog starting this week with all pictures within the main post. Things are easier to manage this way, so deal with it.

This gives new meaning to the term "illegal alien"

Matt was distracted by some dude with tickets.

A little timid about the bong.

But he just pretended it was Braylon, and he had no problem.

Kegstand time

The Amigos gladly lend a helping hand.

The Amigos were not too glad this time.

"Psst. I have a secret. I'm the alien." And it turns out, he was.

Looks like Fish had to come over to help.
