Oh boy, this is exciting! It feels a little like watching the Olympic torch relay! I hope it goes through Eden Prairie!
Considering I’m in Eden Prairie right now, I believe the answer to your hopes is “Oh heck yeah, you betcha.”
1:30 Central Daylight Time.
‘Keg Karrier One’, out the door and on the road.
Tripler
Eastward, ho!!
Sooooooeeeeee!
You still need a ride to the airport Sunday morning, malkavia? Is it still some insanely early time like 5:45 (two hours before your flight!)?
OK, I have aquired some beer
4 cases total
2 of Aass, a fabulous norwegian import (1 of pilsner bottles, 1 of tall boy cans, lager and dark lager)
1 of Bell’s Oberon (strong, wheaty, summery)
1 of Capital Amber (all around decent red ale)
Also a mixed case of Jones sodas.
All for the paltry sum of $40, retail value is easily about $120.
So yeah, my buddy hooked me up pretty well.
See you all tomorrow!
Anyone bringing a little tv so we can watch Ireland v. Cameroon?
Also, I will bring my Great Dane, Loki, along for a awhile as well, so prepare to be slobbered on.
Capital Amber?!?! That’s from my town!
easy e does a little happy dance, even though she’s going back on Sunday and could stock up on all the Madison area brews then
I may bring my miniature fox terrier, Lucy, along in case Loki gets hungry.
Aass!
Now, for those unfamiliar with it, it’s not really pronounced “ass”. And it doesn’t taste like ass. It’s damn good, in fact.
Spanky the Wonder Dog will show for a while, but not the entire day. Poor kid would get too excited with all the people and dogs.
Three questions…
What time is it on?
How long does the typical soccer match last?
Is it on standard (non-cable) network TV?
Rysdad asks
According to the Pioneer Press (the Pulizer Prize-winning Twin Cities newspaper), Ireland v Cameroon is on at 1:30 am Saturday. This is roughly 10-14 hours before Porkdope, depending on when people are showing up, so I think that we don’t need to worry about bringing a TV.
Soccer matches last 90 minutes, plus injury time, over time, penalty shootout time, half time, and commercials, say 2-2 1/2 hours.
I think the listing said Univision, but I could be wrong.
I just got home from work.
Will get some sleep and then Spider Woman and I will be Palooza bound.
Two short hours until the official start, yet seven long hours until the pig is served.
I SHOUT
YOU SHOUT
WE ALL SHOUT
FOR PORK SNOUT
/ruby shouts
“Pork Snouts! Pork Snouts!”
I must admit that last night I went out and saw some of my favorite bands, and though I should be hung over, it appears to be a magical pork-a-licious type day!
The soccer match is being rebroadcast on ABC from 230 to 430. I’ve lost interest though, because I already know the score.
I won’t tell those of you who still want to see the match.
Leaving right now for PorkDope!
ughhh, magical hang-over now appearing. I will be toughing it out, though, taking a little nappy-poo, then off to the park (or pork as it may be)
Let me be the first to say that Sir Oinks A Lot was indeed deelish. So much so that, in his honor, I pulled a hamstring.
Quite a large gathering. I was impressed. Even the weather cooperated.
All that was missing was a little C-4. 
is it over? I was just heading out
argghh! Taxi dispatcher said it would be here in 15 min, but still nothing.
I’m sure you’ve already left, rubes, but if you haven’t–go ahead. I’m sure it’s still going on.
I just had to leave to do the rest/ice/compression/elevation thing.
I should’ve taken a doggy bag of pork with me. Man, that was good.
