Tailgating questions

Re: Tailgating questions

The noise question had us perplexed also, but there are other generators, radios, etc. over by Panther Creek so I don't think we'd be too far out of the norm. We even had a guy next to us with a gas powered blender, sounded a lot like a chain saw...

The boys are big Iowa fans and won't be tailgating with us all the time, but they are primarily responsible for the TV thing. We've been listening to big national games on satellite radio, and that's been good for us. I must admit, we've had neighbors bring TVs, and its been a group event involving many people rather than just individuals focusing on the screen.

Our big issue is food. Grilling is great (burgers, steaks, chops, sausage, ribs) but gets a bit boring later in the season. We want to do crock pot foods (Grinders, chili, sides) and of course a blender for ice drinks. In fact having electric appliances available opens up myriad possibilities.

The main point is to provide multiple opportunities for involvement so that everyone can participate in something!

If you get a Honda generator, you'll start looking for ways to use it, such as:
- Power out from a storm...no problem, just fire up the Honda.
- Wife wants to go on a picnic and you want to listen to Blue Oyster Cult blasting through your old JBL 100s. No problem, just pack the old Pioneer SX-1250, the JBLs and of course the Honda. (Better get the Honda 2000 for this one).

Re: Tailgating questions

I checked eBay a month or so ago and I saw several generators on there.

Re: Tailgating questions

the main use for my generator is to power part of the house (sump pump) if the power goes out. a couple summers ago we got 4 inches of rain in like 20 min and had we lost power my basement was gonna be screwed.

I need a generator to provide power to keep my mac N cheese pizza warm.

I LOL'd.

Gives me a great idea though....

Step 1 - lay out a pizza buffet at tailgating. Make MacnCheese, BBQ, etc.
Step 2 - See who gets all worked up.
Step 3 - Figure out their message board persona

Re: Tailgating questions

I missed the pizza thread but here it is...

Tony's was the best, Godfather's is fair to middlin' for everyday purposes (Humble Pie with Jalopenos) But Old Chicago has them all beat. (especially considering their beer selection)

Tailgating is an art! Hey, I'd never bother the 'gaters who want to sit on a milk crate and eat baloney sandwiches, we're just part of that crowd that has to overdo...

Not the best thread out, but it 'aint football season yet, and this passes the time...

See you at Winegate...

If a pizza joints name doesn't start with a vowel, it's not real pizza.

what if they start with a Y, that is sometimes a vowel.
(though I can't think of a word where Y starts the word as a vowel, except for may the spanish 'y")

Tailgating is NOT the place to sit on a milk crate.
If I wanted to do that, I'd go to the dairy.

Pretty sure that Y is only a vowel if it is the last letter of the word.
