SILENT BOB and RICKEY HENDERSON STRIKES AGAIN!

Yesterday was one of those vintage Sunday afternoons where laughter and hi-jinx was the order of the day. While the main objective of the Sunday Brew Crew is to get together and enjoy an afternoon of football, the day usually turns out to be fun for mostly other reasons besides football; Yesterday was much of the same.

The day's first arrival was T-BILL, who showed up with his head shaved and wearing these vintage Ray-Ban sunglasses; you know, the type that are usually found on state troopers or redneck sheriffs. If I didn't know him, I would have probably been a bit nervous, half expecting a Rodney King beatdown or something.

Soon after T-BILL's arrival, the cast of regulars began to trickle in: MR. CHIPS, SILENT BOB and DIRTY SANCHEZ, AFRIKA BAMBATTA and the MAYOR, among others. There were a ton of PHILADELPHIA EAGLES fans sitting in the back of the bar, watching their team play the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS when "THAT GUY" (see 10/13/06) strolls in with his girlfriend and his sidekick, DEUCE. DEUCE was wearing a NEW ORLEANS SAINTS jersey and immediately walked to the back of the bar where the Philly fans were sitting and plowed through the crowd, knocking over drinks in the process. It was actually kinda funny. "THAT GUY" apologized for his behavior the other night and admitted that he was wasted (really?).

Meet Deuce...

As the afternoon went on, the crowds grew and the alcohol flowed freely; as that happened, the jokes and practical gags went on and on. During the GIANTS/FALCONS game, MR. CHIPS got the crowd going with his vocal chants and songs. It's safe to say that he really is the NY GIANTS #1 fan. He also got into a verbal sparring session with AFRIKA BAMBATTA, who was stewing over the fact that his lame Washington Redskins team was moved from his favorite TV to another on less than 10 feet away. Talk about ungrateful! I'd actually toyed with the idea of sending his game to the back of the bar (or as we like to say, Siberia); but doing that would only cause him to gripe even louder and I think that would have caused the crowd to revolt and stone him to death.

AFRIKA BAMBATTA = sore loser...

Speaking of WASHINGTON REDSKINS, a couple of cute female REDSKINS fans came into the bar, looking to watch their team play. It was interesting to note that AFRIKA BAMBATTA was in the middle of one of his pot-stirring tirades until they walked by him; All of a sudden, BAMBATTA got up, I mean GOT UP from his seat! He then casually made his way over to the ladies, much to the chagrin of the rest of us. T-BILL made an astute observation in that AFRIKA looked like RICKEY HENDERSON, getting ready to steal second base. The crew erupted in laughter after that comment; and sure enough, before you could say "Where's Rickey?", our boy had swooped over to the ladies and introduced himself. (Safe on second) A few minutes later, his back was turned and he was engaged in conversation with them. (Stole third standing up). Finally after a few minutes, he was sitting in the booth with his new found friends (safe at home!).

Getting back to MR. CHIPS; He and AFRIKA had been bantering back and forth about their teams and how they were faring and when the smoke cleared, the GIANTS won their game, while the REDSKINS lost to the lowly, winless TITANS. So embarrassed was AFRIKA that the crew made him do a Cosmo. This was a historic occasion as he is usually the one leading the bandwagon on getting others to drink Cosmos when they screw up on something. Luckily for him, his new found friend offered to help him finish his "punishment". Hmmmm...





Notice SILENT BOB'S transformation?



Turns out the female Redskins fans were pretty cool and ended up hanging out with the Brew Crew the rest of the day (they actually closed the bar). They were joined by JON CUSACK (who made a rare day appearance), STIFFLER (who came straight from the airport and proceeded to get shit-faced), BEN AFFLECK, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and SUSHI SAMBA (who was sporting a new piece of arm candy), among others.

BABY DOLL made a appearance, after spending a long crazy night celebrating her birthday. She actually looked pretty good for someone who's been drinking/celebrating since Friday. I only hope I turn out the same way in a couple of weeks.

Before and After...

THE UPPER DECK MET FANS arrived just in time for their playoff game vs ST. LOUIS. I have to say, they are a loyal bunch. Every last one of them are wearing jerseys and sporting their team colors and hang on every pitch of the game. Luckily for everyone the METS won, which guarantees that there will be more games back here in NYC. The series is tied 2-2. Game 5 takes place tonight. Keep your fingers crossed!




Overall, it was a pretty funny and long day. The highlight of the day by far was SILENT BOB. Being one of the first to arrive, watching him transform from the typical loud and obnoxious lout that we all know and love, to a puddle of Bud Light was indeed priceless. If you've ever seen the SILENT ONE get drunk, first of all, it ain't pretty. He gets even louder and more obnoxious than usual, then as the night goes on, he gets that bitter-beer face and starts to sway, as if the wind is blowing him down. Once he gets to that point, it's all over. But the funniest part is watching him get to that point (note the photos-he's the one wearing the obnoxiously bright yellow Brazil jersey).





Thanks again to everyone for making it out yesterday- a good time had by all; also welcome to the Lady Redskins crew who were brave enough to make it through an afternoon of Brew Crew hijinx. You're welcome to join us anytime! With so much going on, I'm sure I've forgotten a few details; As always, feel free to leave comments on the board. I'm sure you have a lot to say after yesterday's stuff!
