319.0. "MANIS MONTH (to be deleted after 8/25)" by PARVAX::WARDLE (Mania Month has arrived...) Thu Aug 02 1990 13:51

    Welcome to the official "MANIA MONTH" note.
    
    It's August, and less than 25 days to GIANTSMANIA III.
    
    This note is for the discussion of the upcoming event, for planning
    the pre-game festivities (e.g. football game, hoops, Atlantic City),
    and for any other stuff you'd like to talk about regarding GM III.

    "get together" topic. If you don't want to read it, hit next unseen as
    I do with topics such as "bowling, wrestling, etc..".

I have received a letter from the New Jersey STate Police,
requesting that we remove our used Heiffer carcasses after
we're done with them.

They complained that there were far too many used heiffer carcasses
at the side of the road in the vicinity of the meadowlands last
year, and that they were traced to us.

This year, they have asked that if we pack them in, we pack them
out too.

I'm sure the guilty parties know who they are, so I'll not name
names, but let's try to clean up after ourselves dudes....

 Genn Johnson aka Spike will be making the trip out to the Mania from
 CXO. He'll be staying at his grandmother's place in yonkers. Will anyone
 be passing by that area on their way in that could possible pick him up?

 Also is it possible JoJ to post directions in here for all?

 Also the early line on the grudge basketball match between JoJ and Dan
 vs. Dinz and Childs is JoJ and Dan -2 due to the homecourt advantage...
 JoJ will obviously pick a court where he knows his way around the
 broken bottles and the rims.  ;^)

Hawk, you're right.  There is only one Right and True Mania.  Even

Well, I might bring a few homebrews to sample, but for the 
most part, I promised Beak some easy openers.

Beak and I have a yearly bet on who is higher in the Standings on
Giantsmania day, the Sox or the Yanks.  The loser opens the winner's
beers at Giantmania.

Last year I won, and had Fosters (hear that Don) and poor Beak needed
an opener all the time.  Being the upstanding guy that I am,
I made the bet again, offering Beak a rematch as it were.

This year, unless something radical happens in the next 22 days, Beak
will again be opening my beers.  This year, they will be easy open
bottles.  And, being the upstanding guy that I am, I'll make the 
bet again next year, to give Beak a rematch.

So, that's the rest of the story....

 Boobalizing requires cans....

 I knew you guys knew that, i just put it in here for those that don't...

 :^)


 that art of boobalizing:

	1. take one can opener, turn can of beer on it's side and open
	   at the bottom.

	2. tip open end into mouth then pop the top opener and drain the 
  	   sucker in about 5 to 10 seconds....

I'll bet you'll be in the terrace, after having quaffed a few pints
beforehand, singing terrace songs, and supporting (I'd use rooting,
but I'm not sure if the meaning is the same in England as in Australia)
the Gunners.  Afterwards, you'll probably go back to the pub to
quaff a few more pints and revel in the inevitable Gunners victory.

When you come right down to it, it's not that much different than
what we'll be doing.

We'll be in the stands, after having quaffed a few (hundred) beers
at the pregame tailgate, Dan will be doing the teapot dance/song,
and we'll be rooting for the Giants, (most of us).  Afterwards,
we'll go back out and quaff a few (hundred) more beers, and revel
in the inevitable Giants victory.

Must be one helluva plantetary conjunction for both these magnificent
events to happen on the same days...

Shotguns were something else, that we did with an actual shotgun.
(cf the movie Platoon if you're wondering what I'm talking about).

I've never been a good beer chugger.  I'm one of those endurance

Did a shotgun once, and got beer up my sinuses...;^)

    Bob, Dan's practise of effective beer management consists of
    scoping-out unsuspecting persons with lots of beer, then sponge off 'em
    until they're gone, then move on to the next victim.  I know this from
    experience.  :-)

    I do my best at controling the beer population, but I need help.  Also,
    all those flattened cans on the nations highways.  It's getting to be
    that you can't drive down the streets without having a few full beer

And now the Giants are hittin up close and tight,
They never looked so good, they never looked so right.
And they were scoring so much the score was outta sight.
And they were scoring so much the score was outta sight.

Ain't no dobut about it, we were doubly blessed,

Well, Baby I just heard the score on my transistor radio,
and I been waiting so long for Mania night so I could have some fun.

And I been drinking like a fish, and old Jack Daniels just gets it,
And now a few more beers is gonna make my motor run...

And now the Giants are hittin up close and tight,
They never looked so good, they never looked so right.

After that you got your Pyro-Manis, which gets, uh, really hot,

And finally, ya got yer basic, uh, Klepto-Manis, which is where ya
