Post TDDoC Awards for 2006

One man's view. Feel free to add or dispute! Airing of grievances encouraged.



Most Valuable Drinker – Geottle and Scugi. Undefeated. Of course, his name is really spelled Goettle, and he did dispose of much of his competition by strategically holding Day 3 at a location (Tiger's Tale) that would discourage most of the state of New Jersey from getting there in a drive of less than 2 hours.

Heroic Sacrifice Award for Not Killing Mate or Significant Other During the TDDoC - Su, Lisa Eman, Mary T., Mrs. Scugi, Yvette, etc.

Most Valuable Female Drinker - Donna. Lots of participation points, and lots of use of alcohol in new and unusual ways.

Recruiter Award: Big Al - She did drag in a litany of new participants (Big Al Pat, Sonya, Alice, Whitney, Guffar, assorted other Big Al buddies). The only problem is that most of these people are just as old as the rest of us and we'll all be looking mighty silly sitting around together in a bar at age 80. We need to bring in some young blood.

"Why Do I Have to Hang Out With My Dad In A Bar?" Award - Cory, Julian, Trent, Corry, Jeff, (Keith help me here)

Rookie of the Year – A healthy competition this year between OJ Mark and Big Al's Pat. Of course, his name is actually spelled OJ Marc, but he confides that he's only been called Marc once in his life, and even his family calls him "Chaty". OJ Marc is the winner by a nose! Also strong competition from Stu and Crack Pipe Larry's business card.

Best Night to be a Woman, Or A Man of Alternate Lifestyles - Day 10 at McGuinn's. It's not like cb's, where it's a bunch of old men....it's just amazing though how a male to female ratio of 71-1 could be maintained.

"Slappa the @ss Award" - (tie) Gman and Buffy. Gman put on a great performance on Day 1 demonstrating what he'd be doing to Goettle's hindquarters in the event they ever found themselves spending time together alone with a saddle in a prison cell. An unsuspecting Tamps was the recipient of the same demonstration by Buffy on Day 7. Nice job, guys. You really look like you know what you're doing in that activity. (Yikes).

The "We Should Have Gone There But We Didn't" Award - Isaac Newton's, Savoy's, North Brunswick Pub, New Brunswick Pub Crawl, Chevy's, TGIFriday's. It doesn't mean it was any better at any of those places.....but your imagination falsely leads you to think that it was.

First to Successfully Crack the Gman "No Points Allowed Unless You're Actually There" Rule – Dorian, Milot, and Tony Giacobbe for attending the West Coast TDDoC, writing stats, calling in to the East Coast, AND calling out the participants for their pathetic lack of understanding of TDDoC history (as evidenced by them not knowing who Czyz is). These youngsters today!!

Myth Busters Award - Dorian and Milot for their dogged pursuit of the "Story Behind the Music" on the west coast and their defrocking of that silliness.

Queen of Alternative Liquors – Donna. Shots of brandy on Day 11 and double-fisted with tequila on Day 1. Whoever heard of doing shots of brandy? 'Nuff said.

The "This Band Really Blows" Award - (tie) Day 2 at Havana and Day 7 at the place in Princeton that used to be the Annex. Probably the nod should go to the Havana band for the repeated "This is supposed to be reggae?" questions.

Most WHY calls – Kimchick. Undefeated streak continues. Heck, I got one from him while standing in Sea World in Orlando.

The "Damn, I Almost Beat Crack Pipe Larry" Award - Blair. You had that healthy one point lead until CPL tricked you and showed up on Days 11 and 12 to whoop your @ss

Getting the Bartender to Drink Award - Buffy, for getting the ex-Annex bartender to try his Yuengling/Smuttynose beer mix. I think she really digs him.

The "No, Dad, Don't....Please....This Is Really Embarrassing" Award - Mertz for subjecting his 4 children to a picture with his old man drinking buddies Ska and Eman.

Looking Towards Next Year With a Bullet: Crack Pipe Larry, presently riding a two-game winning streak.

The "The TDDoC Is Really Really Lame but I'm Coming Back Again Tomorrow" Award - Some guy named Lou.

The Crack Pipe Larry Award for showing up only once despite luring people in from Connecticut with promises of letting them throw a drink in his face – Kaden.

The "Got off Your @ss and Got a Point" Award after a long absence: Tmac, Illman, The Swede, Yo, Adrienne, Chorba. Good to see you back.

Noticeably Absent – Pods, Alli, Mindy, Bill Hart, The OD, Lauren, Anna, Czyz, Will, West Coast Julie, Judd…..yeah, some of you live really far away, but if Tamps and Ska had just completed the drinking channel........
