With the cool Canadian winds whipping off Lake Michigan, Week 14 greeted tailgaters with sub freezing temperatures, and some real characters in the parking lot! Fate parked Speedy Willie right in the middle of a raucous devils brigade of Bears fans all bound and determined to shake off the cold with a nip of bourbon and some hot meat off the grill.
The tailgate was highlighted by some excellent music, provided by our resident DJ. So well received, were the tunes that a fellow lot lizard slithered up to SW and asked what station we were playing so they could turn it on as well. "Sorry," I told him, "This is the SPEEDY WILLIE MIX!" And I slapped that jerk right in the face!
There was delicious Italian flavored meats provided to the large group of revelers surrounding the bus, and everyone enjoyed the various libations offered. This week, we didn't even need to buy ice! Thank you Father Winter!
As the game started, and everyone with tickets traipsed off to their seats, only Dominic, Adam & Jen were left to enjoy the game from Speedy Willie's warm insides. The game itself was a bit of a blow out, and featured many slick plays on both sides of the ball.
Then, about 15 minutes in, the big guy from the truck next to us returned. He was trashed and had "lost his ticket." We made a tremendous mistake and invited him to watch the game from SW. Detailed spared, his other buddy showed up and proceeded to down whatever remained in our liquor inventory.
This is the same guy that took off most of his clothes and walked across flaming coals on the asphalt? Am I remembering this correctly? Doesn't matter. Good tailgate + Good Game = Speedy Willie.
