Bills Blow By 'Fins 21-0!
|
Tough conditions for YCCC tailgate #7
Heavy mist and stiff breezes rocked the YCCC compound before the Bills inspiring blanking of the wimps in aqua and orange.
We enjoyed The Office on DVD (gay porn!)
An alcoholic freak visited and showed us his fish tattoo ( a large mouth bass on his left bicep, FYI.)
Bitchy cheerleaders blew us off just as the camera was getting fired up.
And our wet logs refused to ignite, leaving us cold, wet and looking like two certain Survivor contestants.
The Menu included delicious barbeque beef, potatoe packets, and smushed up brownies. Oh, and more spicy chips, especially
the atomic suicidal Doritos.
Skip continued winning at Washer Toss.
Ryan B joined the base YCCC group.
Shari drank more beer than Paul AND Paul left the game early.

Incredible YCCC Event softens the blow of tough loss to Chargers
We had visitors, a new washroom, lots of Canadian friends, tasted Moose, drank some shitty Canadian beer, ate ice cream, had
a Hall Of Fame encounter and calibrated our thermometer. All in all a great day, even with the tough but expected loss.
Bad Santa was the movie of the week.
The menu included sausage with peppers & onions, potato salad, hot stuffed peppers, brownies and chocolate chip cookie
bars. Oh, and as always, Jalapeno potato chips.
And beer. No WINE! Only BEER!
The YCCC hosted visitors Pat, Kyle and Mike.

5th YCCC Tailgate, November 26, 2006
It was another excellent YCCC event as we celebrated Thankgiving with fried turkey and all the trimmings.
The weather was incredible with temperatures in the 60'!
The Office was the DVD choice of the week.
It was the base crew, Paul, Shari, Tim, Sara and Skip.

Office Space was the movie.
Two different versions of Chili made up the menu.
And Shari was the shocking rookie washer tosser. But Skip dominated...as usual.

October 22, 2005 Bills lose to New England
The YCCC has another fantastic party but the Bills fail to uphold their end of the deal. Lots of wind, lots of rain, lots
of smokey burnt flavor in Sara's macaroni & cheese. We had lots of fun, especially as Skip DOMINATED washer toss. But
the conditions were tough and we saw some interesting things. It was a small party, but fun nonetheless.
The Big Lebowski was the movie.
Mac & Cheese and Hot Dogs were the menu.
And Skip kicking Ass at washer toss was the theme of the day. The weather sucked big time, but Skip's washer toss form
didn't.
And Paul slept through the game! Photos don't lie! Look to the left.

Week 4, 10-1-06
Bills Beat The Vikings!
|
Bills Win! Another YCCC Success!
It was a glorious Western New York fall afternoon, with lots of sun, a bit of a breeze and temps in the 60s. The "normal"
tailgating steped-up a notch with the addition of our own restroom. The new outhouse got good use from our capacity crowd
that included the usual Blake crew & Skip, along with Kyle (Skip's brother), Pat, Paul Calmes and girlfriend Kelly, Kyle,
and Meghan Blake at her first tailgate party.
JackAss The Movie kept us laughing while Washer Toss was dominated by Skip & Paul B, each with 3 wins.
Andre Reed was added to the Wall of Fame.
A drunk guy crashed next to Kyle, passed out and slept through the entire game. When he finally woke up, he said he wanted
a refund for the game he didn't see.
The menu included Shari's marinated chicken kebobs and Sara's famous potato packets, along with Kyle's spicy stuffed peppers
and Kelly's yummy brownies.

Home Opener, 9/24/06
Windy, very windy, with some rain at times.
The Blakes and Bruzdas were there, along with Dan Consolie (Skip's brother-in-law) and his son Jeff.
The menu included pulled pork, cole slaw, brownies, chocolate chip cookie bars and a nice bottle of Swedish Hill Svenska
Red.
Highlights included lots of highly competitive washer toss (watch this site for a complete list of scores from every game
*coming soon*), Jack 'n Coke, "Skip is gay," touring buses and wind whipping everything, including our new flag
and outhouse. It was so windy we had to lower the flag pole and completely disassemble the outhouse (even before it got used!
It will have to wait another week to be "christened!"

Sixth Home game, December 3, 2006
| YCCC + Canadians = Chaos! |
|
| *Note the case of shitty beer at the lower left of the photo* |
The Canadian big game hunters tailgating behind us were kind enough to give us a taste of the various meats they were grilling
up, including some moose. YUMMY!
| Paul Blake likes the moose meat! |
|
| Venison, medium rare, please! |
|
Between samples of exotic game meat, we played some washer toss, broke in the new washroom, and made our weekly trip to the
WGR 550 AM radio tent. This week, in a stroke of genius, they were passing out ice cream bar samples. I found out that Hall
of Fame offensive linemen like to eat ice cream in the cold.

|
| The official YCCC thermometer suffered a bit of damage |
| James displays the remnants |
|

At the radio tent, we played another goofy game and we all "won" movie posters. Paul and Tim got some decent ones,
but mine sucked, so I put it to good use when we got back to our home base.
| Crappy movie posters burn well. |
|
| Freaky Packers fans. |
|
| No wonder Brett throws to the wrong team! |
I've mentioned that the YCCC flag has suffered some weather related damage. It still flys and still looks OK, but it is damaged.
But today we noticed that the Buffalo mascot on the top of the flag pole has suffered some damage too. It would appear he
had an accident in his pants. I guess we could call him poopy pants from now on...
| Note the stain in his pants. |
|
| YUCK! |
|
|
|
|
|
Here's our new group flag. Look for it when you are looking for us in the lot on Sunday morning. And remember, of all the
moves Marv Levy has made so far, the best is opening the parking lots earlier than ever. So now we can start drinking at
8 am!

Our history - how we got our name - originally posted Wed Nov 12, 2003 4:56 am
Prediction #1,the pre-game: Kelly and I, tired from Sara's party the night before, decide to pace ourselves, limiting
each other to only two drinks before 10am. The situation evolves wildly out of control when Kelly tries to make up for lost
time by slamming Smirnoffs two at a time after 10. Kelly in his Bledsoe jersey, I in my Spikes home jersey are doing fine.
We both sit back, enjoying sitting out in the cold, damp morning air, making fun of all the idiots wearing their #7 jerseys.
One guy wearing a Flutie jersey walks by and overhears us. He turns to Kelly and says, "At least Flutie waited 'til
he got the team to the playoffs before sucking. Bledsoe sucks all the time." Kelly lets the guy walk a few paces before
taking decisive action. With surprising agility for a man who has consumed "30% of alcohol" he hurdles the grill,
jukes past the cheerleaders selling candy bars, and tackles the #7 jersey guy. They slide to a stop under an '84 Chevy van,
blood already oozing from their road rash. Kelly begins banging the guys head off the pavement and the van's bumper while
chanting "Flutie Sucks!" The guy says only, "Hey, I'm Canadian. I didn't know any better, eh."
Soon, a posse of Erie County Sheriff deputies show up and subdue Kelly. I flash my badge in an effort to save Kelly,
but it's no use. The arresting deputy says, "Hey, we arrested Faith Hill's husband, we sure as heck aren't going to
cut your brother-in-law any slack. Besides, I kinda like that little Flutie guy. He's got that, whatdaya call it? Magic
pixie dust." I consider some cop-on-cop assault, but dismiss the thought as I remember that Kelly hides his ticket in
his car. Since he'll be locked up for a while, I can scalp the ticket. I head back to the car and see that the empty bottle
guy has helped himself to our empties as well as the last few full bottles in the cooler. I chase him away and set to finding
Kelly's ticket in his super secret hiding spot.
Just as I pocket the precious treasure, I notice a group of police officers approaching the car. I spin and look the
other way, convinced they're headed past me. There I see another group, also approaching me. The first group arrives and
the lead copper says, "Sir, is it true you make these young cheerleaders dance before you buy candy from them? Do you
realize that's not legal?" As I begin to protest, saying it's all Kelly's fault (what the heck, he's already in jail)
the other officers start up with "Sir, is it true you urinated in that creek right over there." This I can't deny,
so I say "Sure, you mean 'Yellow Creek'." Apparently outraged by something I said, the officer screams, "Don't
you know that creek is the only home of the endangered Orchard Park crayfish. Your beer polluted urine is killing them off!"
Just then an interesting thing happens. The two groups of officers begin to argue about who is going to arrest me. The
argument festers for a few minutes until I see my opportunity for escape. As they continue to poke at each other, I slowly
slide around to the front of the car and start walking up the aisle, almost immediately blending in, undetectable among the
other 47,000 guys wearing Spikes jerseys. I find some poor slob wearing red and blue face paint and a Flowers jersey and
sell him Kelly's ticket for twenty bucks. I pocket the cash, knowing I'll need a cab ride later.
As I get to the gate, all the security guards are busily looking over a "Wanted" poster with my picture on it.
While they're distracted, I get through the turnstiles and head on up toward my seat. I climb to the top of the upper deck,
just in time to see the tow truck hook-up Kelly's car. The cops still gathered there seem to be enjoying the remnants of
Kelly's Krispy Kreme donuts. I turn back to the field and see Drew Bledsoe scrambling for a first down and more, juking and
spinning, evading tacklers like a white Michael Vick, until 65 yards later he scampers into the endzone where he completes
the most graceful and acrobatic touchdown dance I've ever seen. And then reality hits. I wake up. It's all been a dream.
An awful, impossible dream, full of unspeakable things that could never, ever happen. Or could they????
Prediction #2, the game: (Bills home)+(visiting team not so good)= Bills win
