Our last tailgate before the Redskins game was pretty money. We had a handful of visitors stop by (welcome back Marty, J, and the White Ryan Howard!) - and they all brought some new friends. We introduced them to classic EaglesMD traditions such as washers, beer pong, fireworks, "Show me your Genitals", burning things with gasoline (YES, it's back!), the Apache, Sambuca and so much more...
Seriously - we killed a bottle of Sambuca by about 9:30am.
We made some KILLER Bobbies. If you don't know what a Bobbie is - get your ass down to a Capriottis sub shop. It's turkey, cran, stuffing and mayo on a roll. We had all of those fresh ingredients - and then added slices of provolone and some Diiirty Riiice. (check out that recipe on our Recipes page!!!). Those sambo's were the shit. The White Ryan Howard treated us to some buffalo Shrimps too. I will have you know that this was the 2nd party this year that I've eaten several shrimp - still in their shells - and not known about it until the next day. I guess it was all the 'buca.
So we're rockin' out to Party in the USA or something and our new boy Jay comes over. Jay is our contact at the "Octo-bong" tailgate. The Octo-bong is an 8-chambered beer bong that is hung by an elaborate series of pulley's in a tree. I did 2. I think. Both times...about a 12-pack of beer is dumped in the bong. Maybe more. The Octo-bong is then raised a little and the 8 participants chug away. I believe the rule is - when the first person is done - the Octo-bong is raised and bounced around as the Pulley-master yells out "UPPER DARBY SHOWER...UPPER DARBY SHOWER" - as beer rains down on those unfortunate enough not to chug quickly. If you can't tell by my description - it's pretty fucking great. These guys also have some wheel attached to a tree with things written on it. I'll have more deets on that treat after the next tailgate.
Anyway - we are joining forces with Jay and the Octo-bong-ites next game. Together, we will rule the forest with an iron fist! Can't wait!
