Default Philly Area II

I had posted in a thread that was more than 45 days old and was informed that it is against site rules, so, here's a new one.

My original post in response to the non Eagles fans out there.

Bristol, Bucks County, along the Neshaminy Creek. DeanW is a neighbor.

FLY EAGLES FLY,
ON THE ROAD TO VICTORY.

FIGHT EAGLES FIGHT,
GET A TOUCHDOWN 123.

HIT EM LOW, HIT EM HIGH,
WATCH OUR EAGLES FLY.

FLY EAGLES FLY,
ON THE ROAD TO V-I-C-T-O-R-Y.

E-A-G-L-E-S, EEEAAAGGGLLLEEESSS!

Hmmm! wonder what team I like.

Again, Thanks for the heads up Mark, also, I did the drive to Tony Luke's with my wife. After meeting a couple of nice people and being ignored by a few others, I took the wife home since she had just pulled a double that day.
I'll probably go to another get together to meet some locals and break the ice so the next time we go somewhere we won't feel like third wheels. Right now I'm getting ready for the ATN's in Carlisle this weekend with the Mid-Atlantic Region of Ford Truck Enthusiasts, another IB site. It's a good time with a great bunch of people. I'll be looking forward to meeting some others from this site at some Corvette events.

Thanks for the invite Rex, the one couple we had met where part of your group. I believe the husbands name was Wally and his wife's Karen. I do plan on doing it one Sunday, I had also mentioned it to my cousin out in Concordville, hoping he would bring out his '61'.

Eagles don't suck troller, that big whoosh of air you hear is just them taking a deep breath before Kolb and company march through the NFL.

I've bled so much for the Eagles, Vampires won't even consider me for a light snack.

As i sit in the stands at Lehigh University watching them hard at training, I'm once again filled with the delusion of a Super Bowl Championship, or, better yet, a turnpike bowl. Eagles and Steelers, just once before I have to pay the undertaker.

Thanks for giving me the right name Rex. Old timers brain isn't always good at remembering. It's not all bad, every morning I wake up with a new women. It's seems I have a preference for blond's named Tina, been that way for the past 33 years

I just met him recently, he noticed my location and said he was in the same area. He was right around the corner from me, seemed like a very pleasant fellow. Hopefully we get to meet again and drive the area a bit.

The only place the Flyers got to go was home, without a championship. While I sat in my nice comfy easy chair and wept.

I was up in your neck of the woods today 01VETTECOP. Drove over from Carlisle after the All Truck National to catch the afternoon practice at Lehigh. They where looking pretty good. I'm looking forward to Friday nights pre-season game.

The Steelers are my favorite AFC team, always have been. All things Pennsylvania.

No luck involved 01VETTECOP, I just live with the delusion of a championship before my sixtieth birthday.

It's like the illusion I have when I'm driving around with the top off thinking I'm eighteen again, then I happen to look in the rear view mirror.

I have to go find a new mirror.

Joe

I already have the popcorn and other snacks ready, the Vette is gassed up so I can do donuts in the parking lot to celebrate their pre-season victory. If I could get green smoke to blow out the exhaust I'd do a drive through your area Saturday.

And be in court paying my fines Monday

Well, I didn't go out doing donuts in the Vette, but, we did run in circles in the yard waving our Eagles banners. Only a one point win, but a win... no less.

I'm glad I live near the woods, the animals won't have me committed during football season.
