As I said, we kind of decided last minute to attend the Spring Game. We haven't been in several years, mostly because Spring tennis season interfered, and Spring weather is so dicey…but the weather forecast was beautiful, and the college shids were up for it, so we made a last minute call to the South Bend KFC (300 chicken strips along with the world's most random sides, and a crap ton of gravy ??!), stocked up on the Long Island supplies (25 gallons were consumed in less than 2 hrs--new record I am afraid), baked (with Posey's help) a bunch of cookies and cupcakes, loaded the car and took off at 6am. We were set up before 10am EST, and once old Christopher arrived with the chicken, the party really started. Interestingly, there were not too many tailgates going on in the Joyce lot yesterday. There were a few amateurs trying to make things happen, but not much of a crowd….except surrounding our vehicle. The game was at 12:30pm and we ran out of every thing, which makes clean up so much easier. Here are a few photo highlights:
And this guy-- who sat a few rows ahead of us…I took this picture and sent it to all of my kids with the caption: "Make good decisions"… But, I'm not going to lie. I admire his commitment as a fan.
OK, now that you've seen the reason why this TOP TEN is so late, I will continue with the Lentertainment…though Mr. ND Tattoo is pretty Lentertaining himself.
I really liked the poodle photo, and the resigned look on that guy's face. I truly did not think they were on a date… most of you begged to differ. As a little reminder, here is the priceless poodle twin photo:
There were many, many hilarious captions. I've narrowed them down to TEN, but I have to say, my favorite comment of all was from Jan:
For some reason, this whole little stream just cracked me up. Pure Lentertainment.
Menage a paw Joann
Cock and poodle deux! Kiki
Party's over b*tches - get home. Tricia
This is what the Common Core did to Dante's "Inferno" Marie
(Editor's Note: I really love this one)
Please change everything about me! Jessica
(Editor's note: This really doesn't even have anything to do with the photo, but it makes me laugh. I fear Jessica and I think way too much alike)
"This office party was wild. I don't remember a thing. Gigi, did I hump the Boss' leg?" Judy
(very, very funny)
"He is so getting road mapped when he falls asleep!" Linda
First dates are awkward enough, it didn't help her mom tagged along. Rob
You know, 46 years ago I would have insisted we get German Shepherd puppies. Stacy
The double dog dare was a bit out of his comfort zone. John
OK, because of the slight delay, we are a bit behind…Voting will close at noon tomorrow--that would be noon on Monday. I will score the "Biking Angels" tonight, and post up the score chart. You will vote incessantly for the next 22 hours…(this blog is closing in on 80,000 hits, and I really want to make that happen before Easter). Then tomorrow night, I will post up another photo, and we will rinse, wash and repeat one more time. We are getting to the end of Lentertainment--only two more photos to go. Thanks for the crazy laughs and keep it up for one more week. Soon we will separate the contenders from the pretenders. Let's bring it home strong. Massive voting begins…NOW…Lentertainment 2014--rock the vote.
First vote is for Judy because (1) I loved her boss caption, (2) attending SJCA Century Dinner, and (3) posing for a picture with me which I hope will make it to the blog some day.
ReplyDeleteSend me the photo and it WILL make it on the blog for sure.
DeleteThanks Laurie, I will email you the picture. And thanks to everyone else on the blog that brought a ticket to the Century dinner or made a donation. We had another great year.
DeleteRob....it was so great visiting with you last night....Blog friends rock!
DeleteBIG VOTE FOR ROB! At least he knows me as the face behind the blog chatter. He knows that I don't bite.....at least hard!
Judy
DeleteBlog friends are the best friends. Sorry I missed it last night…glad things went well, though I wish I would have won the cash. These tailgate weekends don't come cheap.
