Belated But Glorious Day 12 Stats

Day 12 at Wildflowers - Pennington, NJ

TDDoC 2007 went out with a whimper - I think most were very tired and
were grateful the end had come.

_Day 12 Attendees:
_Laura, Chaty, Debbie, Gman, Cory W, Ska, L Eman, Yo, Cory M, Mertz,
Eman, Trent, Su, Julian, Yvette, Geottle (with new cell phone), Bobo,
Tamps, Art



Twas the day before Xmas, in Pennington this time
Friggin' Conte's was closed, they won't get a dime

Day 12 finally here, we've had enough of this crap
So many hungover, so let me recap:

Day 1 brought us together, like a gathering storm
In anticipation for the TDDoC, to take it's form

At a place called Salt Creek, we spent lots of dough
And later On the Border, where Windex shots did flow

Day 2 at JoJos, an awesome pizza joint
Numerous pies were devoured, just off of five points

Day 3 flew to Al's Airport, a hole in the wall
Then to the Firken, for real food and hockey brawl

Day 4 at Nottingham Tavern, or was it City Streets?
Some of us got derailed, thanks to those stats of Pete's

Day 5 crossed into icy Pennsyltucky, the village of Newtown
Cigarette smoke was inhaled, our lungs tarred and brown

Day 6 saw the return of the King and Queen, in Princeton they did crawl
Merriment abounded o'er this eve, but alas the King had a fall

Day 7 means we're over the hump, like All Stars in need of a towel?
While war was being waged, deep inside Gman's bowel

Day 8 brought us perverted karaoke, at the Americana Diner
And the debut of the Big Lou band, what could be finer

Day 9 at Big Fish, some conversation we did carry
Can't think of a better line, almost forgot to say eff Larry!

Day 10 with the finish line in sight, at some place called Bar One
Stats are getting mighty thin, TDDoC almost done

Day 11 crossed the Delaware, to heave a Havana
In the gay old boro, was that CPL smoking a banana?

Day 12 finally arrived, Wildflowers was a good choice
Suggested by Tamps, let us all rejoice

A cell call was placed, the phone passed round
Each of us yelling Suck!!, or Eff Larry!! - how very profound

So here's to the 6 iron men/women, and their 12 point total
It's time to wrap presents, even a cell phone for Goettle!

But all good things come to an end, yes even drinking beer,
eff Larry again and rest up for next year

Wildflowers at 2572 Pennington Rd(Rte 31) in Pennington, NJ, 08534. 11:30

Very useful information, none of which I wrote down, and so in the car
trying to get there all I could recall was called Wildflowers and it was
somewhere in "F**k**g" Jersey. After a spirited session of "I though YOU
wrote the address down!" with Donna, in desperation I (no, not stop and
ask directions) punched in Wildflowers in my Magellan GPS navigator, and
to my surprise, it came back with "Which one? - New Hope or Pennington?"
Reasoning tha New Hope was off limits after an internation incident the
prior Friday involving lawyers guns and money, and the fact that
Pennington was closer. Arrived at 1:45, to find....no sign of Tddoc.

No Goettle taking a thousand pictures, no Gary/Melanie unit, no CPL not
being there anyway, no BPL to mooch a drink off of. But sadly there was
no evidence that a TddoC was even there, no burned out husk of a
building, no broken bar stools, no bodies in the parking lot, no Bobo
eating, no "F**k PA" in the men's room(I assume that F**k means
"Fantastik"), no missing glassware.

So we decide to sit at the bar, and wait...and wait...and wait...for a
bartender to show up. Donna took advantage of the time to read off all
the labels on the TVs for the football games on the prior Sunday, while
I placed a "where?" call to Tamps. Tamps answers and tells me everyone
was there and left before 1:30 - I ask since when is any TddoC event
less than 2 hours to which he replies that was always the case at
Conte's - which I dispute because I recall being at Conte's until well
after 2:00 one year - of course I might have been by myself at the time
then too.....

Anyway a barmaid finally appears (apparently had to go to Canals to get
a particular brand of Whiskey for a watered down drink a patron had
foolish ordered and whose skeletal remains the barmaid set the drink
down in front of) and Donna and I managed to order a couple of Smiddicks
(Smithwicks in American) on draft from the Tap RIGHT IN FRONT OF US and
then wait anoter 10 minutes to actually get. We savored our 2 beers each
and gazed at the other poor souls who have nothing to do on X-mas eve
but go to a bar in search of that special something - Love, Meaning,
Happiness, or a coveted TddoC point - even a provisional one, but even
more hopefully a controversial one, to carry into the New Year.__
