Night at the Tank: A Rousing Success!

by That'll Cheech You on Dec 26, 2009 11:20 PM PST in Fear The Fin News Comment 110 comments

FTF Night at the tank was amazing; thanks to all the people who made it out to the game in the (unexpected, pouring) rain.

We'll have a full wrap up tomorrow; I don't want to surmise any thing before I hear back from Plank. Last I saw him, he was heading back to the Firehouse for more shots of Patron. Whatabeast.

If you have any pictures or comments, post them in this thread. I'll put up the video sometime before Monday.

Go Sharks, and thanks for showing up! Here's hoping next year is even bigger!

McGinn finally scored when Plank predicted it!

We just traded who for who?!

by BawLa on Dec 26, 2009 11:35 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

We predict it every game, had to happen eventually.

For those of you keeping track, the Sharks are 6-0-0 when McGinn scores. Shoot the puck Jamie!

Man, Plankdude can DRINK! I had to bow out early…and I’m usually the one drinking people under the table. He is truly a pro.

Awesome time tonight. I fear any pictures yall may or may not have of me!

We should do it again before the year is out…

I think they were going to be good, the only guy that had a problem with them was that guy in the Thornton jersey who was wasted off his ass. I had a little talk with him and told him that the guy in the Ryan jersey was in the Marines with me and he seemed to understand what would have happened if he would have kept pressing the issue. But unfortunately I had to take off early to get Plank’s drunk ass back to Cupertino and myself back to Merced. How late were you there?

Ditto, thanks for putting this together.

It’s almost surreal to have actual people in my head attached to all these screen names.

I called the game 7-2 Sharks in the first period, so I’d like give a big shout out to Kent Huskins for helping the “2” part of it come true, and blame the fact that the sharks didn’t make it to 7 goals on not enough people booing Cory Perry (including myself).

The adventures of CTGray

The night started out with a couple of Newcastle’s. Something tells me that poster board Gray is a bit of a ‘Lightweight’.

Moving on to the strong stuff. Oh dear, this is going to get messy. Threats of violence ensue. Those that sat next to Gray for this polite shindig can attest to the verbal hazing I received! It was most inappropriate.

Gray demanded to be fed deep dried food stuffs as if she were a Roman Emperor. Just do it, I thought, dont argue with someone so capable of handing out vicious paper cuts.

Things are starting to take a turn for the worse. All notions of self respect have evaporated. This is starting to look like an after school special. Only with paper people, and more steak sauce.

DON’T WAKE HER UP! She threatened to eat my firstborn.

After this, she demanded that only the official CouchTarts photographer (Mina) could take her picture. Either that or my battery died. I spent the rest of the evening feeling shame and wishing I could escape the clutches of an evil beast.

WHAT A NIGHT!

Bwhahahaah!

Oh that’s great. I saw the self-portrait at pre-game but I had no idea how much you guys were messing around with it.

Wait a minute...

…I think that’s me in the background of the last two pics? Big guy in the white Sharks jersey there.

Dont turn your back on Gray!

You’re lucky to have made it to the game with your self esteem intact!

I kept using this picture as a point of reference to find my seats after the intermissions due to the massive quantities of alcohol being consumed.

Sorry I missed the post-game festivities

but my sister is 20 and we had to catch the Caltrain back anyway. Between the cheap food and beer, the crazy guy we had to kick out of our section of the Firehouse, me blowing my chance to win ang the signed thorton hat, an amazing game that tested my sister’s neutral stance and allegiance to her best friend (a ducks fan) and walking back from the train station to my apartment in the rain, WHAT AN AWESOME NIGHT!

(sorry again about the creepy dude and the hat, ang)

Okay

So my sister and I were kind of by ourselves in the corner near the table where ang and her boys were, and she’s from out of town and not a huge hockey fan so I was balancing keeping her entertained while finding familiar faces. About 30 minutes before the raffle drawings started, a guy in his late 40’s-50’s in a leather jacket came over and started making small talk with us. He clearly wasn’t part of the group and I figured he was a regular at the firehouse. We made some polite conversation as he was curious about the FTF party and he sat down with us.

I was a bad big brother and got distracted by Teas and Plank showing up, among other things, and by the time I turned my attention back to the table this guy was peppering my sister with questions, obviously steering the conversation towards what he wanted to talk about (L.L. labs where they developed the A-bomb), and was getting increasingly insulting and rude. As he got more and more incredulous/offended at the fact that we aren’t all nuclear physicists, he turned to ang’s kids and asked them if they had heard of the Labs, and between that and his increased profanity we all decided enough was enough and this guy had to go.

Lemme tell you something – you do not wanna see Ang mad! We called the waitress over to escort him to another section of the bar but he wasn’t listening, and that when he got an earful from her and left pretty upset, but at no point did I think there was any risk of it getting physical. His spot was promptly filled by an awesome sharks fan (sorry dude forgot your name, shaved head, leather jacket) and general merriment ensued. That is all.

you do not wanna see Ang mad

him talking to my boys, then turning around and saying shit bout them … yeah … not a good combination to keeping me calm … I’m a very protective mother.

and I could tell you were getting annoyed, so it was just time for the guy to go.

come on, you guys know me … when am I silent when I have something to say? :)

I would have paid money to see you chew a guy out, Ang. No one should mess with you!

I had no clue you guys had to deal with that. Sounds like you handled it well though.

Oh man...

What a douche this guy sounded like… You could have shoulder tapped me and I could have imparted some wise GTFO knowledge on him. Either that or face a mauling by the grizzly.

Umm..

L.L. wasn’t even created until the 50’s. They may have worked up upgrades to the bomb but it was developed originally at Los Alamos in New Mexico… mostly because nobody lived near there and they could actually test blowing the things up.

Not only was he a douche, he was a misinformed know-it-all douche. I hate those.
