This past Saturday I was given a very large responsibility from the BLOG Master. Due to his absence, I was asked to #SecureThePorch and document the conversations of the BK members and guest. I must admit I kind of failed.
This past Saturday I was given a very large responsibility from the BLOG Master. Due to his absence, I was asked to #SecureThePorch and document the conversations of the BK members and guest. I must admit I kind of failed.
I reached the Deli at 8:10 AM. An impossible time for someone to #SecureThe Porch. I was surprised to see no other member had arrived yet. And a family of three were sitting at one of our tables. Because of my arthritic knees I didn’t think I had a chance to forcibly take the table from them. Maybe if there were two, but not three. And I sensed that the 10 and 12 year old girls were tougher than they looked.
After a few minutes our weekly guest arrived. This brought me some hope we could take the table. Unfortunately our guest is recovering from hip surgery and was not up for a fight. Next came our IT member who was an ex wrestler, ex volunteer firefighter, ex soccer coach. All manly positions. But being a god fearing person I found out he is a lover and not a fighter. Next came our CEO member. I think either because of the negative vibes I was sending or the concern of being out numbered, the three invaders got up and left.
But now since there was only four of us we didn’t even need the other table. But I still consider it a victory.
With only four people not much was discussed. But it was a lot quieter and everyone did get to contribute to the conversation. I don’t think I heard the F word once. We didn’t even need to do any fact checking. We were given a brief history of Guantanamo Bay. A summary of the Verizon IPhone 7 plan. A few book reviews from our IT Literary member. We talked about our weekly football picks and how our CEO member didn’t get any love when he picked 10 right. Unlike the BK Treasurer who received a lot of hate when he only picked five winners in week three. This is especially discouraging because everyone knows week three in the NFL is the toughest. Our IT member couldn’t understand why we haven’t won. He came close to guaranteeing a win next week when it is his turn. This coming from a guy who wanted to know what a spread is and how does he vote on the winning teams.
Our current member coach did stop by to pay a debt he owed. He had a baseball uniform with his name on the back. I don’t want to name him but what 63 year old guy wears a uniform with his name on the back! I wonder if the BLOG Master has his name on the back of his hiker’s shirt. Or fishing shirt?
Hopefully next week things get back to normal. Those of you who missed might want to stay away from Bobby for a while.
He was very disappointed with the showing. He wanted to know what happened to the weekly text. I might have incorrectly gave him the impression that the text went out and it said to meet at Kettleman's.
See you Saturday. At the Deli not Kettleman's.

Seems like a boring event no fact checking? Probably nothing said worth checking. Wear your BK shirts next week for picture and be prepared to set some holiday dates Congrats to Tom for winning knock out pool. Thanks to Steve for setting it up
ReplyDeleteExcellent Write Up. Any fines assessed for missing the BK? I hope not!!!
ReplyDeleteI miss the fact checking and an opportunity to solve the world's problems.
Because of my very rare absence, I make one request. That is, to #SecureThePorch so the Breakfast Club can sit down like civilized men and enjoy the fellowship of others. One simple request! No 'F' bombs? No fact checking? No belligerent behavior? Yes! That is how civilized men speak. What took place on Sat, Oct 15 sounds more like an afternoon tea party.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not too disappointed because I can't make this coming Saturday either. So, if you don't mind, can someone(Breakfast Club Treasurer) #SecureThePorch on Sat, Oct 22?
WTH(eck)!!! EB misses a week then reports he'll miss again this week and get grief for wearing my uniform! It's a world gone mad. That said nice job Coach T. By the way MB crushed it in fantasy this week so I'm thinking we own Bobby's pool this week. #oldguysinuniformrule
ReplyDeleteI am not sure there even is a BK seem like its just Jerry and his friends now. How can there be a club where people miss week and week?
ReplyDeleteAl I think I am looking for a stat man again we can discuss on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteBK is going strong. We're just trying to force some bad members out. We're asking them to go to the RU tailgate.
ReplyDeleteAl - don't let them get to you. Wear your baseball uniform with your name on the back with pride. Is it childlike? Sure it is. But we need more childlike behavior not less. I don't have my name on my back when I go fishing but I do have fishing pajamas and proud of it.
