#SecureThePorch: Accomplished? Yes! Overrated? No!
#WhereIsAl, #FoundingFathers, #BKManOfTheYear,
The Saturday before Christmas is always a special day for the BK Club but it just wasn't the same without brother Al; your "retirement" is starting to piss a lot of people off!!!
BK Guests: None

Yes, it's true. You have to believe! Believe in something. Believe in the magic of Christmas with the same faith and conviction of a child. Believe in Santa Clause, Mrs. Claus, the sound of the bell(Polar Express), the beauty of nature, the power of love, the power of forgiveness, the flavor of scrapple, and yes - you have to believe in cryptocurrency. OK, I got a little out of control towards the end there but it's not easy talking about cryptocurrency. But don't worry, the Breakfast Club is all over it. As a matter of fact, the Breakfast Club is possibly the first business in New Jersey to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. Starting with the first Saturday in January 2018, I plan on paying for a year's worth of BK dues with one Litecoin. This measure has been approved by the Founding Fathers at the annual BK Founding Fathers dinner, which was attended by all Founding Fathers and approved. The details can be hashed out at the Sat, Dec 30 meeting. Stay tuned for all things crypto,

The annual BK Christmas party was held Sat, Dec 9 at the Landing in Hillsborough, NJ. It was a great time had by all and, to be honest, it's hard not to have a good time with this crowd.
The food was excellent, the drinks kept coming, the service was attentive, we told some stories and shared some laughs. The waitress asked if we made a mistake on the tip because it was on the high side. Brother Al told her "look, we can't count but we are very generous so just take it." He then squeezed her cheek, like only a guy from Brooklyn can do, and walked away.
Everyone was dressed in their Christmas best, The woman were all wearing elegant Christmas attire with plenty of bedazzlement and the men were...well, we did our best. But I believe if we had an award for best Christmas outfit, it would have to go to Jim...hands down. His sweater had all the customary Christmas colors - red, green, white, and blue, and a red Christmas themed bowler hat. But what set him apart were the blinking lights positioned around each of his nipples. Nothing says Merry Christmas like blinking nipples.You reminded me of a Master of Ceremonies of an annual talent show put on by a Las Vegas bordello.
I have no idea why we have two Christmas pictures separated by gender...we are a bunch of dorks!!!
We also honored Mike Ballanco as the 2017 BK Man of the Year. The BK Man of the Year is thought to be the equivalent of the Heisman Award because all the attributes that go into winning the Heisman are also found in BK Man of the Year winner(s). I.E. Leadership, mentorship, hard work, plumbing skills, gutter cleaning skills, wine connoisseur, literary philanthropist, a flair for the spectacular, etc. These are only a few of the skills Mike has demonstrated and is why he won the BKMOTY award by a wide margin. The only thing stopping Mike from repeating in 2018 would be if he were to voluntarily recuse himself,
