Gentlemen:
Hope you enjoy the Ode.
Another year has passed and another great time was had by all.

Thursday:
We were to meet at B&B Restaurant @ 6:30am on Thursday. There seemed to be a problem with directions as cars were going pass the place several times. Captain John showed up at Holly's. Later you will notice a pattern with directions and this group. At B&B flyers were distributed with a picture of someone and his business card on them.  Jim struck up a conversation his his brotha the cook,
big blackie.

Uplands:
For some reason all the golf carts had the same flyers on them. 
First tee Roy hits money ball in the water.  In fact a K-8 first, all 4 foursomes lost the money ball on the first hole.  Congrats to Duck for winning the Championship series.  In fact both Duck and Mike cleaned up and practically paid for their trip.
Left Uplands and once again some got lost heading to OC.

Checked in at Best Western and all the keys were ready for us at the table. The Best Western hooked us up with a Hospitality Room.  The balcony was big enough for 6 mattresses.  Another Cranberry and Vodka.  Anyone for a Yeager Bomb?  OJ and Vodka?  Rum and Coke?  O'h yes, there was beer.  Grill Cheese machine was off the hook. It's ashame no one could afford to go out and buy another loaf of bread and a pound of cheese. Texas Hold-um....Scott's story telling on every freakin' hand Thursday night.

Smitty Magee's weren't exactly ready for the K-8's.  K-8's wanted an encore from Randy and his band. There were more people entertained by the K-8's than the band. In fact, Ice proceeds to go outside of Smitty's and and does a striptease in front of the window. All the blue hairs love it!  We then headed back to the Hospitality room and met Jim G,(a Balto City Police Officer) Lance's friend.  After meeting everyone and listening to our group he had a half a beer and left. He could be heard walking down the hall saying "What the hell has Lance gotten me into"?  He probably went back to the room and loaded his gun.

Friday:
Chip Beef omelette's at the Generals. Jim G was to follow BUM to the General's. Jim G caught a light and got lost. While sitting at the General's Jim G was seen riding up and down coastal hwy at least 4 times looking for the General's. Looked like a scene from a Seinfeld episode.  Everyone headed to Glen Riddle. Once again this group seemed challenged with directions. Everyone was calling each other trying to find the course. Some took tours of Berlin, Maryland while others were looking at golf course property. For some unknown reason, no one could see the 100 foot water tower with Glen Riddle on it. Bloody's in the parking lot!  Man-O-War awesome course!
On the first tee box, while quiet and listening to the starter explain the course to us, Jim decides to RIP the loudest fart ever heard.
The 4-some of Ice, Mongo, Ken and Dave swept all the greenies. Any truth that Jim G carried his gun on the course?  Joe fell down while hitting his drive. Surprised?  Joe was seen hugging the root.  Cart girl ask Bryan if this was his picture on the flyer she had. She found it in the ladies room. She wanted a security system installed.

First day leaderboard had Ken and Mike within one stroke of one another.  After golf some went to the track without telling anyone. Texas Hold Um was played again and it must be the Vodka because some of the group just couldn't stop yapping. Scott and Bryan seemed to be preaching the good word.

The group went to JR's for dinner.  JR's made a huge mistake by putting the group in the middle of the dinning room. Alot of alcohol was
talking. Surprised to hear all the potty mouth while children were there. At one end of the table someone was holding court. Don't know if he was Jesus at the last supper or not.  After dinner it was back at the hospitality room for more cards and drinks. Captain John fixed himself a rum and coke in a coffee pot. Bryan decides to drop 43 F-Bombs in 10 minutes. Think about it....that's pretty hard to do.  Lance decides to show up Friday night. He had a hell of a time washing the brown from his nose.  Bryan started to drop F-Bombs on Lance. Lance asked him "Do you kiss your children with that mouth?"  How much money did Ken lose in Texas Hold-um?  There was a Kramer sighting?  Colonel Sanders was seen.  Uncle Buck-Need I say anymore.

Friday night at Fagers was tame compared to others. We did meet up with a small contingent from previous years. Did someone get a boob job? Philly also met some banking associates. Funny how these associates just seem to show up. One got so sick she was seen
throwing up at Tubby's later that evening/morning.

Ice: Ken, that girl showed me her boobs again. This happens every year!
Bermuda Bob and his harem...did we ever get a final count?
ICE was seen taking pictures of some guy puking on a car at Tubby's.

Saturday:
Breakfast at the General's. (No one got lost)
Golf at Eagle's was nice. Some golfed while others drank. In fact one cart had their own Beer Fest. One person drank 13 Yinglings in 9 holes. Guess the pressure was too great for a 3 peat. Ranger asked Bryan about security issues at the golf course after seeing flyer.
Well this year's Mustard Jacket winner is none other than Ken (Money) Folderauer. Wear it proudly Ken!
After golf it was back to the hotel. In the lobby some received hugs and neck kisses.  More poker and drinking was going on. Who left a Kobe with corn in the hospitality room toilet? That's just not right!

Question: How many fish did Ben really catch? Was he really fishing? Inquiring minds want to know.
You were on your own for dinner. Dave decides to have dinner with 2 lesbians. (At least that is what he is claiming)
ICE and Ken decided to go back to JR's. ICE orders PORK and was done for the night. Once again the young guys in the group can't make 3 nights in a row.  Pathetic. He talks up a good story but just can't finish. Can't finish the deal. Not a closer. Bermuda Bob gets new roommates. How can that happen?  Fager's was OVER THE TOP!  Once again Joe was on his best behavior but did orchestrate his co-mingling skills. These skills can not be taken lightly. Alot of fun was had that night.  No one seemed to cross the line. Can't remember too much but maybe others can recall some of the things that went on. It was noticed that alot of ass slapping was going on almost as if they were riding a horse.  Someone came up to Phil and said I know you from somewhere. Do you live in Belair? He said no but I work there. She asked if he was on TV? He told her he does a commercial for Slavie Bank. Bottom Line: Phil is known all over the State. In fact Ken was asked "You look really familiar". Must be a new pick up line.

Final Thoughts:
Did anyone bring more beer back than last year? Wonder why?
We were blessed once again with great weather.
Note from Ice to Adcocks: Lay the pipe and tell the wife that next year you're going!
Next year it's Sept 27, 28th, 29th and departing on the 30th.
