It was right around the time of reading the stats for Day 8 indicating that the location for Day 9 was the BF that one could feel the anticipation in the air………would this be the night that CPL narrows the gap between his 2007 appearances and those of the state of Californina???? CPL began receiving emails with the subject line “cpl appearance?”. Apathy was replaced with indifference, but being the son of an Italian mother, guilt quickly took hold and he made a promise to himself that tonight would indeed be the night that the point total would reach an all-time personal best of 2. That and he already and been given clearance the night before to attend, regardless of the location.
4:30 rolls around at Americom and Schutzie comes by CPL’s glass walled office and says…..”let’s go”. Applications were exited, laptops were forcibly brought into shutdown……………
They run to the mens’ room with a purpose……..
20+3 minutes later they arrive at the BF……circling the parking lot like vultures do with carrion….. CPL gets the first spot and races into the BF like man destined to make a “WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?” call only to find that Big Al and Big Al’s Pat were already there….no Why call required. Lot’s of hugs and a reintroduction by Big Al as to who Pat is……. During the introduction I thought I heard Al say that Pat was her husband. I wrote it off to the usual echoing din in the BF bar. Schutzie comes in, more hugs, we get some beers, we say hi to Danielle who is flying around the bar with effortless grace. Shortly thereafter Linda Neiderost (aka “Bright Eyes”) appears, invited by Schutzie from a vehicle enthusiast club discussion. BPWorth shows up and greets Big Al…..she (re?) introduces her Pat to BPW and he pauses and says…”he is your husband???” . Apparently Big Al is issuing subliminal messages to her Pat, unbenknownst to him…..There is clearly something happening here……I just can’t figure out what it is…… They move on and engage in a vigourous debate about the “reality” show “The Biggest Loser”… ‘nuff said.
Shutzie spies Polo across the bar and abandons us in favor of her and her two friends…....
Stop IT!, I mean ACTUAL friends….Melissa & Bernadette. No Nicknames for them at this point.
Yo shows, and races to the men’s room……then comes back and orders a beer and two plates of food. This cycle continues for the duration of the evening.
Eventually we all wind up by Polo and her two friends. I think by this time Katherine has appeared, Tamps, Chaty……Eman, Su & Julian (actually they stopped by our side for a minute prior to entering a booth to eat dinner with Liz Clancy. I see Big Lou, D&D(Donna & Dorian), Goettle, LisaEman, G,TrentEman, Randy,….then things started to blur a little….. My helpers have compiled the list below…..If anyone was missed, please let me know politely. Oh yeah,,,,,Mertz&Mosso(M&M?) too.
scugi, cpl, mertz, big al, big al pat, donna, dorian, e, lisa e, trent, polo, melissa, bernadette, mosso, g, su, julian, tamps, ska, goettle, yo, pat worth, randy, earl, katherine, laura, arunkone, stu, big lou, liz, chaty, danielle?
I catch myself doing the Cpt Morgan pose a couple of times…..not pretty, but Danielle makes a great CM&Diet Coke… At some point I decide to leave…..Goettle with a look of sincere panic on his face says “Dude…do you need a place to crash prior to driving home” I think back to the photo from the Americana and decide to take my chances on the NJ/PA highway system….
There was a lot more going on that what is cited here….Schutzie tried to fill in some blanks: Others are welcomed
Schutzie in right after CPL, then Porsche Linda and yo, one beer with them and Big Al and BA's Pat. BA and BAP are getting stoked up for dinner with mom and dad, would hate to do that sober. I see a wave from Polo on the other side of the bar, she is not alone. I walk over and get introduced to Melissa and Bernadette and things are just fine. They hear about the TDDoC tradition and they want to get 1 point per drink, I explain, one point per night, not one per drink. Things are fine until the "stinky drunk drunk" tries to talk to them, he virtually blows people out of their seats with the aroma. I can't let this happen and go on the defense, Polo is being euthanized (sp) by the aroma, I quickly set a pick and block his attempt, he quickly moves around to Melissa and tries to come in from the other side, I slide across their legs to block again, he comes down the middle. I get Danielle and asked to have him removed, she says she can't, he has a room there (they have rooms at the BF?, who knew, SKA?). I go back on defense and feel like I am being double teamed then Randy shows and I yank him into the game. Game over, it is no contest with us both setting picks and the girls swinging around in their seats. I have a heart to heart with the guy and tell him it is a private group, he steps back into the corner and explodes, the alcohol must have gone critical, only charred elements of his red parka remain and a slight whiff of old beer. Melissa is the president of CareersUSA (www.careersusa.com) in case one of us ever needs a job and Bernadette is with ETS (Educational Testing Services).
No freight trains in the am…..although this close to xmas, I think the Polar express whizzed by , but did not stop at CPL station for very long.
