Purdue Trip 2009 Year #6 10/22/2009 |
|
Back in
Chicago. Pre-game
and planning session.
This year Oke and Bob will be wearing red and Terry and Jake
wearing black. |
|
Below,
Team Red looks on as Team Black researches fine restaurants in the area. Another great apartment rental, this time
near Depaul in Chicago.
|
|
A
civilized dinner.
|
|
Followed
by incivility.
|
|
I suck at “team” sports. But individual sports, like BBH, I’m
excellent.
|
|
Oke and Terry yucking
it up.
|
|
This bar amazingly has bags
set inside! We can get some practice
in before the tailgate on Saturday.
Doubtless, Dirty Dustin is 200 miles south warming up his arm.
|
|
Bob does his “demon eyes”
trick.
|
|
Purpose built Beirut
tables. Scary. |
|
We then somehow end up in the
clubbiest club in Chicago.
|
|
My guess is that’s Terry and
me. Either way we were way out of
place.
|
|
More our speed…
the famous Wieners circle where they serve you wieners and bust your
balls. Terry and I quietly put in our
orders and take the abuse.
|
|
Bob does not take the
abuse. The hot-dog slinger returns
fire by shouting at Bob (amongst other things) she’ll “stamp” his “dick in
the dirt”. Bob has nothing to say to
this.
|
|
She is a graceful winner in
the verbal joust.
The next morning we stop for
breakfast before setting out to Purdue.
|
|
Exhausted,
stealing a line from Aaron in Germany.
|
|
Terry
is tempted by the taco salad which he actually ordered on a Purdue Friday a
few years earlier (mistake).
|
|
Oke doesn’t give a shit.
|
|
And Bob is pissed.
|
|
We head South to Purdue.
|
|
|
|
With no refrigerator, Terry
and Bob turn their room in to a walk in cooler.
|
|
I’m
not quite sure what to say about this picture other than that is the
engineering fountain and we look bored.
|
|
Oke and I wander by 516 Stadium
where we lived (barely) with Matt, Goose and Chad.
|
|
And speaking of Goose!
|
|
Back to work at Harry’s
|
|
And Goose is happy.
|
|
Hell everyone is happy to be
back at Harry’s!
|
|
Fully back in the swing of
things now…
|
|
Bob begins to make fun of this
guy’s shirt. A girl at his table does
not think this is funny and her and Bob had more words. Words like “what are you like 50?”
|
|
The odd penis humor makes an
appearance again. I still am not sure
who is responsible but I suspect Bob or Goose.
|
|
The night goes on.
|
|
I spot a Paulaner
Oktoberfest sign in Harry’s and have a flashback to
when I attended Oktoberfest in Munich with Blaze and Aaron… a couple weeks
earlier.
Been a long couple weeks… This is what people eat and
who serves it to you in Oktoberfest:
|
|
This is what people eat and
who serves it to you at Purdue. Triple XXX!!!
|
|
Bob and Terry fired up for a
Purvis.
|
|
The next morning we get a ride
to the tailgate. Guess who’s car that is.
|
|
Dirty Dustin
|
|
Everyone knows the drill.
|
|
|
|
The bags get set up
|
|
And played
|
|
|
|
Ya, not much going on here… just Terry walking by and two 10
year olds playing Beirut?
|
|
Hale arrives. Goose is happy about this.
|
|
Flip cup begins.
|
|
Bags continue.
|
|
Flip cup continues.
|
|
The crowd swells. This photo captures the very
instant Dustin lands his cup. Nobody has fully registered it
yet.
|
|
|
|
We make friends with a
neighbor who has a TV and tons of food they begin to push on us.
|
|
Bob devours ribs.
|
|
This is the neighbor. Bob declares her his “new mom”.
|
|
And her daughter his “new
sister”.
|
|
Goose and Oke
confused by the ordeal.
|
|
No Rusty this year. He has always been a strong tailgate
presence both pre and post graduation.
Here is Russ tailgating in the
archive photo below. Notice our long lost 516 roomate Chad in the background in plaid.
No Matt this year either… Below, a kid Matt beat up at
the same tailgate as the above picture.
|
|
Meanwhile… it was a great game
and a HUGE win for Purdue. Everyone
rushed the field. We witness this from
the TV in Harry’s.
Not the game.
|
|
Heather has been working at Harry’s since Jeff and I first went there.
|
|
A blurry but good picture
|
|
Dustin drops us off.
|
|
Dinner at Jimmy Johns
|
|
And back to
Harry’s
|
|
|
|
Chad, the last 1/5th
of the 516 crew makes an appearance finally!
No Matt this year so we can’t
get the whole crew. The other 4/5ths from a couple
years ago:
|
|
Oke, Blaze and Chad.
|
|
Bob befriends Goose’s sister,
Amanda
|
|
Everyone is having a good time
|
|
|
|
With no “real” Matt present
this year Goose finds a fat representation of him
|
|
I’m strongly suspicious that
Bob is the penis humor culprit.
|
|
Bob and a stranger drink a
White Russian like a Scorpion Bowl?
|
|
Then… Bob pretends the
cherries are earings?
|
|
Chad is getting comfortable.
|
|
Everyone is having a good
time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chad’s beard
|
|
Goose spots glasses he likes.
|
|
Then wears them
|
|
I think this is Chad trying to
make an ‘L’ for loser. But he fails.
|
|
My initials still stand.
|
|
As does a solid 516 carving
|
|
Goose having a conversation
with Chad’s wife.
|
|
This is the last picture from Harry’s for our 2009 trip. I’m sure more happened. But this is the last photo.
|
|
For some remarkable reason we
decide the next morning to stop at Triple-XXX before the ride back to
Chicago. Notice it is 9:40am. This probably isn’t a good idea.
|
|
Terry is really not sure if it
is a good idea or not.
|
|
Terry throws up on the side of
RT-65 North.
|
|
Oke…finds something to listen to
on the radio.
Just another Purdue Trip |
