Excellent job on the stats Rebecca… very nicely done!!!! The rookie stat writers have done an excellent job

 

Day 9's Location Monday Dec 21, 2009

Tir Na Nog
1324 Hamilton Avenue
Trenton, NJ 08629
(609) 392-2554

The evening started slowly. When I arrived Cole, Russ, and Yo were in the buffet line. I use the word buffet very loosely as it was comprised of a salad, fruit, veggies and 2 soggy pastas and 2 unidentified fried foods. Nevertheless, it was FREE and we were happy to help ourselves. Within the next hour Big Al, Benny, Gman, Su, Billionaire Pat Worth and lovely wife Brandy, Andy and Denise and Alba arrived. Folks were enjoying the $4 margaritas and assorted other drinks. Tamps, Ska and Goettles and wife arrive along with Scugi. My biking buddy Erin also arrives with Frank and Cheryl. Cheryl is already lit as she has had to XO cafes before getting there.  Apparently the PA version of the TDDoC was at Havana and some of the NJ contingent stopped there first. Pods is absent and folks say its because they have a strict dress code and cannot part with his hat.

The lights dimmed and the dance music began. Folks were doing the electric slide, there was bumping, grinding and much frivolity. Gman was made a sandwich as was Big Lou by the girls competing for rookie of the year honors. Pictures are attached. Brandy and Pat are thinking about getting a new tandem so the boys can race the girls (girls will kick their butts). Ska was having a great time talking about his huge lime as he held it far above his cup while squeezing gently. Ska was also heard talking about how he enjoys breaking up rocks with his jack hammer. Ok all, get your minds out of the gutter right now! There was much discussion on Monday nights location. Gman and Tamps said it was my call since I was writing stats. In the same breath they also told me what my choices were and when would be the best night for each of these. In Gmans words from the night before, I believe Monday will be at Tir Na Nog as someone has ramrodded that through.



As the night wore on, the group seemed to split between the back bar and the front bar. Yo and wife Adrian were corralling folks as they tried to leave at the front bar, so you had to be really on your toes in order to break free from their grip. Towards the end of the night Alba was telling us about her computer issues. There were lots of hand gestures and she slipped into her native tongue frequently. We all just nodded as if we understood exactly what she was talking about. I asked Ska at the end of the night if he had ever been married. With a puzzled look on his face he said " I think so. I was drunk most of the 80's, so things are still a bit fuzzy". The last of us left right before midnight and there was a heated debate between Tamps and myself on the best way to get home from the Kat. Tamps opts for back roads through Trenton while I opted for the major roads. I should have went with Tamps as I got caught in a sobriety checkpoint on Route 130. Luckily I passed with flying colors. As we wind down our journey on the twelve drinking days of Christmas I just want to say a big thanks to all for the encouragement you have all offered to get me through this adventure. I also would like to take this opportunity to ask for your vote for rookie of the year. If chosen for this dubious honor, I promise to uphold the very strict standards set forth by the TDDoC, to bring in new recruits to keep the tradition strong and to buy drinks for anyone who needs me to buy their vote.
