Kickoff Party - HUGE SUCCESS!!!

[Dirt]

Thank you to all who came out and supported the club tonight at our inaugural Membership Kickoff Chili Cook Off Party! I think it's a foregone conclusion that this event will become a staple in our annual party plans going forward.

I'm going by memory here, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. The awards went to:

#3: Best Chili - Amy "Dirt Rider" Cannady (#1 entry)
#2: Best Chili - Scotty "Too Hotty" Schauffer (#15 entry)
#1: Best Chili - Jake "I win everything I even think of entering" Ralfs (#7 entry). We'd all like to thank Mrs. Ralf's (Jake's mom) for entering!

Crappiest Chili and Winner of the coveted, Horse'sASS Award: Russhole "Assonfire" Bardsley! (#5 - I'm pretty sure...It's the one most of you gagged up)

Also, the award for oldest crock pot still in existence goes to contestant #10. You get a new crock pot. (Not really, but you should...My great, great grandma had a crock pot just like that! Sadly, it was destroyed in the Civil War.)

Big shout outs are owed to so, so many...First and foremost to all who showed up. After that, you have El Presidente, GRB, The Treasurer, EP, The Browns, Ray-Ray, AG, Mielke's....I probably am mistaken to mention anyone b/c I'm sure I left someone out. To all those who pitched in and organized Forcmeister's gift of a GF Sawyer: You are all top notch. To the Wren's: You are the siht! (The non-smelly kind).

To my wife, Aimster, I am so sorry for what I'm about to do to you as I'm just about ready to come to bed...When you lift the sheets tomorrow, I'm just sure you'll wish you were dead! Oh yeah, to all 16 PEEPS who brought chili and the countless others who brought various goodies: THANK YOU! And thanks for the rot gut, too! While I'm at it, I owe a big apology to all the patrons of Hero's Sports Bar tonight. If you were weeds in a cornfield, you'd all be dead right now...

Most of all, to our members: None of this would be possible without you. You rock! Please spread the word and encourage others to join the movement! We're doing big, big things in the coming months and need all the support we can get!

Lastly, to the 2011 Mountain Bike Fest Dodgeball DodgeTyre Tournament of Champions Champions: Thank you for gracing us with your presence. The fact that you guys showed up at our little event without demanding an appearance fee just goes to show what kind of class act you guys are. Really. Model citizens, you are. We all rightfully, and respectably, bow in your midst. You are simply the epitome of all that is right in the world. God bless you. All 4 of you; you righteous Sonsuvbitches!

Thanks everybody! Spread the word. We'll do it again in 2013!!!! (I literally just farted as I typed that last line...Whew! Oh...the heat...My GAWD! Dad would be proud of that one!) Good night!
