We had ourselves quite a Philly Phun-day this past Sunday! Philly vs. NY. Good guys vs. Bad guys. Eagles vs. Giants. Phils vs. Yankees. Passionate Fans vs. Douche-bag Idiots. Gotta love it!
We got to the Forest (our new name for FDR park...where we have been banished to!) around 8am. We set up the full tailgate this time. Big-ass speakers, DJ equipment, HD LCD TV, PS3, Beer Pong, Washers, Cornhole - EaglesMD was back! Well...sort of.
The "Jersey Guys" came to the forest to tailgate with us. We really appreciated it! The forest isn't exactly close...to anything...except a few flocks of geese. We had some money Buffalo Chicken Dip (and SHITTY chips...thanks DANIELLE!). And some pepperoni roll...for breakfast.
For the 2nd week in a row, a game of washers ended with a washer landing on the edge of the board, ending the game immediately. WTF! So again, Tim and I were salted. We took our punishment like men. Running and screaming as the salt burned our eyes and flesh. There was a 2nd game of washers...and a second salting of Tim and Brian. We used to be so dominate. The forest has zapped us of our skills. We even lost at cornhole! I NEED TO SALT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING!
Mark tried out a new recipe. It was Balls-Out! Pork Calzones! Marinated Pork Chops...stuffed with ham, provolone, peperoni, and a pickle. It doesn't get better than that...trust me! I'll get the recipe up on the website soon.
Then came one of the greatest demolitions of the NY Football Giants that I can remember. Yelling at the top of my lungs at Giants/Yankee fans at the Linc was never so fun! Way to go Birds!
Coming back to the tailgate...someone near us set off some fireworks. Weak Sauce! We let go 3-4 huge mortars! Scared the piss out of everyone around us! They said "whoa guys...they'd probably look better at night." My response was "Don't worry...we have plenty!" Slowly getting back to normal!
We were on such a high after the game, Mark and I got online in the van and bought World Series Tix from StubHub. Tim and Mike partied in the forest and watched the 4pm games and WS...while Mark and I hunted down a printer at the Will-Call window at Citizens Bank. It sux that the Phils couldn't duplicate the excitement of the Birds from a few hours earlier...but it was a day to remember fo sho! (side note: The Roast Pork sandwich with Broccoli Rabe from Tony Lukes is bomb-ass P!)
All-in-all - a GREAT day in Philly...as usual! Bring on the Cowgirls...NFC East is OURS! (pics from the Eagles and Phils game should be up before the weekend!)
