Silvy and Carmen mentioned this... MOB SCENE AT THE HYATT Highlights from this weekend's SoxFest The Daily Heckle, Monday, January 30, 2006 - Former Sox pitchers Lamar Hoyt and Britt Burns Jell-o wrestled in a kiddie pool while a growing mob of 17-year-old fans cheered them on. - The Paul Konerko Kissing Booth was a big hit, even though Paulie had garlic breath from his eight-course meal at a nearby Olive Garden. - More than half the fans in attendance wore shirts. - Half of those shirts had sleeves. - Notorious Sox fan William Ligue, Jr. was ejected for fighting with catcher A.J. Pierzynski over a tin of Kodiak. - Most Sox players were so recognizable they no longer had to wear "My Name is:" nametags. - Pitchers Jon Garland and Mark Buehrle were victorious after being allowed to enter the father/son three-legged race, despite protests from runners-up Willie Harris and Willie Harris, Jr. - Frank Thomas showed up, claiming the check for his World Series share had bounced. Jim Thome showed Thomas the exit. - In World Series highlight film, that creepy Burger King mascot was superimposed over Scott Podsednik. - The Ken "Hawk" Harrelson Dunk Tank raked in a cool $395,000, which will go unreported to the IRS. - Called the greatest sting operation in Chicago law enforcement history, authorities collared over 700 felons, deadbeat dads and other undesirables. Ron Karkovice was later released on bond. - The crowds' loudest cheers came when a 2005 Cubs blooper reel was shown on the big screen. - A SoxFest record was set as players spelled 91 percent of their autographs correctly. - Joe Crede's Creed cover band, Re-Crede-Creed, rocked the crowd with a stirring rendition of "My Sacrifice." - Ron Kittle introduced his "Kittle Vittles," later discovered to be road kill and Velveeta. - Bobby Jenks exploded after eating a hot dog cart and hot dog vendor. |

Olive Garden is absolute crap. And if I were of Italian heritage, I would be offended that that is what most people think is "good" italian food. However, being Irish, I have no room to really talk about other people's food. Like Leary said "You know what the irish are famous for cuisine-wise? We put everything in a pot.......and boil it for 17 and 1/2 hours straight" |
