Wing Bowl Attendance

From an very long email exchange.

MinuteMan – Cast Iron,  Although I am out of sight most of the year, it is difficult to come to grips with the fact that I am out of mind during such a festive time of the year. I am willing to shoulder my disappointment and find my own way to Wing Bowl. I only hope that I am welcomed with open arms, rather then the cold shoulder which I have felt thus far. Looking forward to it.             

Puddles - wow. 

Primetime – Minute Man - I am willing to sub you in for Puddles.  Steel is out this year as his boating shoes and tied sweater-around-the neck look almost got us all killed two years ago. 

MinuteMan - From what I hear he didn't want to come anyway. Someone spilled Miller Lite on his pastel green shirt which ruined his day.

Puddles - I am coming whether you like it or not.  See you at Las Vegas Lounge

Coach – Cast Iron promised me a seat at the table this year.  I will wear my Ravens jersey to boot! 

Puddles - And if anyone questions my dedication to Wing Bowl, just know that I am leaving my ski vacation in Wyoming on Wednesday to be back for Friday.  I could have easily stayed until Saturday.  So I am coming...

T – Bone - Can't believe you are looking for credit for that Puddles. Wing Bowl should clearly take priority. Your family should be giving you credit for going to Wyoming because you should be home mentally prepping for the finest sporting event of the year.

Puddles - noted....

Coach - Back to Minute Man - his lack of attention and caring for his TASI fantasy league and Baltimore/DC fantasy football teams should be taken into consideration. 

Primetime - DC/Balt crew needs to buy some tickets then.  Coach - we didn't think you were going to do it....always a lot of hype and then no Coach.  Minute Man was looking into into purchasing them..

Coach - As part of the Drew Brees/Arian Foster trade with Cast Iron, there was a "sweetner" to the deal. 

Bone Marrow - That deal really didn't work out too well for Cast Iron so I'm thinking the "sweetner" has fallen off the table. Just a guess on my part.

Puddles - I would tend to agree with Bone Marrow.

Coach -  Cast Iron is nothing but a man of his word and of the utmost integrity.   I have no doubt, well maybe some......... 


Minute Man - While my fantasy dedication is debatable, my zest for wing bowl can never be questioned. If you all remember, I was the one who was in the parking lot tailgating in '08 and '09 before anyone else even got there. While Steel was looking for a matching pocket square,  I was drinking Bud heavies with Ronnie from Fishtown and Craig from Mt. Airey.

Puddles - hahaha.  Minute Man has a point.  Steel....no comments???

Primetime - I think Steel was drinking Zimas that day.

Bone Marrow - Does Steel still work with us?

Steel - This is a little disappointing to see my boatshoes got me knocked off the wingbowl list especially considering the fact that I flew in from Pittsburgh the night before and got a hotel room for it. If that's not dedication what is?

Minute Man - The Boat shoes didn't bother me, it was just the looks we were getting walking in with a guy with argyle socks matching his madras shirt and a peacoat. 

Coach - Did he have a matching scarf as well?

Steel - of course

Steel - and an ascot, top hat and cane.

T- Bone - Actually, we already have our red smoking jackets picked out courtesy of Jos A. Banks for this year's wing bowl. (They are on sale) We are going to bring some class to this event. Perhaps Steel might feel more comfortable wearing that?

Steel - I was actually planning on coming anyway and I'll be sporting a seersucker suit this year. A little out of season but still a classic.

Minute Man - A fresh enthusiastic view towards Wing Bowl. It's a Christmas Miracle!!! Cast Iron - Since you are the season ticket holder, can we get a run down for how many extras we need to get with some additional out of towners showing up.

Cast Iron - Sorry for my tardy response. I have just finished setting up my camp site in the Corestates, oops First Union, oops, Wachovia, oops Wells Fargo Center parking lot. I wanted to get down to Wing Bowl early to avoid the rush. I packed a selection of velvet smoking jackets this year. I think I'll go with the maroon, although the sky blue is tempting.

Minute Man - Always good to have a home base set up. I want to get my plans in order. Do you have an extra ticket not being used? If you do I'll take it, but if not, no problem, I will get one online.

Coach – Minute Man: I was able to secure a pair of tickets. Cast Iron and his little "Fockin" friends from Philly can now go offically go "fock" themselves.  I say this all in the spirit of the holiday season as we celebrate the release of the newest in the "Meet the Fockers" movie trilogy.

Puddles - Coach, I will believe it when I see it.

Cast Iron - Good job Gentlemen. I'm looking forward to a great day.

Coach - Puddles: There is a financial investment now, so no worries about me showing. Second - you of all people should not be calling people out in public for bailing on prior commitments!

Bone Marrow - perhaps we should consider actually tailgating prior...

Bone Marrow - Excellent second point!                 

Puddles - Coach, you have never been to Wing Bowl.  And you say you're going every year. I did bail on a few things last year.  But 2011 is a new year. And you’re from Baltimore. sorry. 

Coach - Puddles, Puddles, Puddles - always deflecting...  You will make a great father.  And, if recall correctly, you now live in you're NY, leaving your beloved Philly for the second time in less then 5 years.  Cast Iron may be a transplant from Sydney, but he remains loyal to his adopted home town. 

Puddles - Coach, perhaps I moved, but at least I can put together a sentence. 

Coach - Tough to type while you're in the bathroom....

Puddles - UGH!  WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

Primetime - Just another day in the "office" for Coach.
