Purdue Trip 2015 Year #12 10/8/2015 |
|
|
And we’re back! Almost. This is what the flight out looks like every year. Bullied
in to the middle seat. Every year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And we’re back! Warming up. Another apartment in Wrigleyville.
|
|
|
Oke is getting super excited.
|
|
|
It’s a nice day so we move the party to a brew pub.
|
|
|
And score a sweet table outside.
|
|
|
Then it poured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We end up at “Toons”
|
|
|
Which apparently is a favorite spot of my friend Russ’s
daughter, Lisa.
|
|
|
Lisa entertained us and her friends primarily by busting my
balls. Good times.
|
|
|
But then it actually did get fun when we had a shuffleboard
tournament.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The night goes on…
|
|
|
|
|
|
Somewhere along the way this trip we decided Oke’s
single-sentence responses generally fall in the category of magic 8-Ball
responses. He did not love this analogy.
|
|
|
Healthy living.
|
|
|
Off the next day. Drive past Wrigley…
|
|
|
To the old S&P.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ride South.
|
|
|
Phone check-in.
|
|
|
We really mixed it up this year. We begrudgingly conceded that
BWW was the best restaurant in West Lafayette (3 stars on Yelp) Subdued. Sad. |
|
|
That’s nothing Goose Man and Harry’s Chcolate
Shop can’t fix.
|
|
|
Looks like Harry’s got a new sign this year.
This was a great FLASHBACK to the summer the Purdue trip was
conceived.
That’s Terry, Bob and I on the left. August 19th, 2004. |
|
|
We’ve calmed down a bit.
|
|
|
But somehow Terry doesn’t have initials up anywhere he can
locate.
|
|
|
And I got nothing to
really brag about. My initials are now eclipsed by “Shelby Coffee is a
Fucking Whore”
|
|
|
Anyway… the night goes on. Goose saying something shocking to Bob maybe?
|
|
|
This might be the picture of the year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This joke is just nonsense now.
A lemon wedge. Come on. |
|
|
Terry fueling up on Harry’s popcorn which is 90% salt.
|
|
|
Things are slowing down. It is just Friday night. But Goose has
an idea!
|
|
|
Where Else.
|
|
|
It was a late game. So Saturday morning starts off right with a
trip to Triple-XXX.
Triple-XXX is sorely missed late night. FLASHBACK: Here we are in 2012 at 2:30AM.
|
|
|
This is what a Purvis burger looks like:
|
This is what Duane Purvis looks like (from Harry’s wall).
|
|
This is what it looks like after you eat a Purvis burger.
|
|
|
Goose picks us up.
|
|
|
We did not have a permit to tailgate. However, when Goose was
asked to not enter the lot, he asked to turn around, then just drove in and
parked. Great move.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nothing exciting this year, but solid tailgate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Worse:
2010 |
Better:
2009 |
|
Back in 2016… Goose is talking to police.
|
|
|
Which is always sort of funny.
|
|
|
Back to Harry’s, because that’s just what we do.
|
|
|
Another contender for photo of the year.
|
|
|
Ah, THIS is the photo of the year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3 Cherries. This is ridiculous. |
|
|
Not sure what we’re laughing at below. But I’m thinking since
I’m taking the photo… the only one missing is Goose.
|
|
|
This is the last photo of Bob before he raises the white flag
and leaves.
|
|
|
Which is terrible timing because we finally NAIL the front
fishbowl!
|
|
|
And I set up sweet arm-wrestling match. Oke
Vs. Giant Army Veteran.
|
|
|
Great match but Oke wins this battle.
|
|
|
OTHER FINAL NOTES: 1)
Terry ended up getting his initials
up right at the Fishbowl. I added my mother’s initials there too for her
birthday again. This was the final picture at Harry’s. Still enjoying our
stay in the Fishbowl.
|
|
|
2)
We stopped at Jimmy Johns.
|
|
|
3)
Apparently Purdue was “Pummeled”. We stopped
keeping score years ago.
|
|
|
Another solid year in the books.
