The dudes name is Ron. Not hard to figure out.

You're called Pinto Ron by some, but your name is Ken..care to explain? There was an article about my tailgate in the “Athlon Sports Magazine” five or six years back. The author lost some of his notes and when it came out he had called me “Ron”. The regulars at my tailgate thought that was funny and started kidding my by calling me “Pinto Ron”. The author was Joe Cahn, the commissioner of tailgating. When he came around the next year he promised to correct his mistake in a future tailgating article, but was talked out of it by a lot of the regulars at my tailgate. Like Clark Kent is the secret identity of Superman, he now claims Ken Johnson is the secret identity of Pinto Ron.

Leave me out of this

[LtFinFan66]

:sorry: I will edit

[The_Philster]

The times :assclown: listed are the Pacific times....
Everything was shot at the Home Opener...Kenny's 200th straight game

Cordog and/or I may be on it...the girl who produced the piece is with the NYCBBB and was with Kenny from 5am til gametime

[RockStar36]

I saw the cameras there when I did shot. I wonder if I'll be seen on camera.

[SabreEleven]

THat would make sense, since I'm on the West Coast.

[The_Philster]

Did you sign a release?

[The_Philster]

THat would make sense, since I'm on the West Coast.
Yeah...so 3:30 am ET on Monday and 1:30pm Tuesday...Kenny only found out when it was gonna be aired a couple weeks ago...they shot lots of film....but it'll probably be a 10-15 minute piece

[RockStar36]

Did you sign a release?

Nope. I was thinking more along the lines of just being somewhere in the background. I didn't hang out there for long considering I couldn't find you guys at all that day.

[LtFinFan66]

[The_Philster]

Cordog and I were over in our regular spots...right across the lot from the Pinto :idunno:

BTW, the title of the episode is Setting the Right Mood
I'm curious to see if I did get on. When I greeted Kenny that morning he asked me if Helmetguy was still giving up...just as I was answering, they asked us to do it over :laughter:

[Mr. Cynical]

Nothing says yummy like meat grilled on the hood of an old rusty Pinto. :up:

[LtFinFan66]

[hammerbillsfan]

Can someone put it on here after they show it? I can't get it here. :mounty:

[Mr. Cynical]

They don't have TV up there in the 51st state? :;

[LtFinFan66]

:lolpoint: Damn Canucks

[hammerbillsfan]

No ESPN here. :(

[LtFinFan66]

They don't even offer you ESPN-EH??

Even the Mexicans get the hook-up

Do you have an ALL-CURLING-ALL THE TIME network??

[hammerbillsfan]

We have TSN.

:eb: would kill for an all curling network. :up:

[LtFinFan66]

can't you get a dish and point it our way:idunno:

[hammerbillsfan]

Illegal DirecTV, sure I can do that. :sigh:

[LtFinFan66]

You don't have any legal way to get ESPN??

[hammerbillsfan]

:no:

The only place I could watch it would be at work.

[LtFinFan66]

Well then. Canada SUCKS!!

[hammerbillsfan]

:assclown: never read my article :idunno:

[LtFinFan66]

:assclown: never read my article :idunno:He is not the sharpest tool in the shed!

[The_Philster]

actually, hamburgers and the like are grilled on a lawn rake...and grill utensils like that are cleaned before every tailgate

[im4bflo]

:assclown: never read my article :idunno:
And a great article it was, I printed it out, and showed it to all my CA friends, because trying to tell them about it, was hard for them to understand, how tailgating is really done! Especially the bowlingball shots, the visual of the pics of us doing shots blew their minds! You've got to be there!
Ken brings his road bowlingball to away games, and we've done shots in other states, but to step up to the bar at the RALPH, is like being babtised all over again :snicker2: (joking)

[BlackMetalNinja]

[Historian]

Now that's funny!

:roflmao:

ESPN-Dios

[LtFinFan66]

Now that's funny!

:roflmao:
I think HBF missed the beauty of that:sad:

[LtFinFan66]

Thanks for the info, DVR is set to record it! I'm a virgin to the whole Pinto experience!me too....for another 7 days:up:

[Historian]

You are about to be indoctrinated into Bills tailgating.

Don't worry, we don't sacrifice any virgins or anything...

...unfortunately.

[LtFinFan66]

:whew:

[The_Philster]

Don't worry, we don't sacrifice any virgins or anything....so far :scratch: :snicker2:

[LtFinFan66]

:ontome:

[The_Philster]

I got on!! :bravo:
just real briefly when Kenny was blowing the horn

[OpIv37]

was the show any good? I forgot to set my TiVo :fit:

[The_Philster]

was the show any good? I forgot to set my TiVo :fit:
Yeah....it was a real short piece on tailgating. They talked with Joe Cahn, the Tailgating Commisioner, and with Kenny...showed him climbing in the back of the Pinto at 5am on Sunday morning....opening the driver's door that way...it was pretty good.

[LtFinFan66]

Glad you bumped this thread Op. Forgot I recorded it. Will watch it now:up:

[The_Philster]

He didn't bump it :cynic: I did...I have it playing now :D

[Gunzlingr]

I missed it. Damn work!

Somebody should convert it to wmv or something so we can all watch it.

[The_Philster]

They spent some time on music as well....most notably In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins...which plays at pregame in a lot of stadiums after being made a hit on Miami Vice

[LtFinFan66]

Phil, please tell me that wasn't your fat head I saw not 2 minutes into this thing :puke:

[LtFinFan66]

not sure I can finish. My lunch almost came up

[The_Philster]

Phil, please tell me that wasn't your fat head I saw not 2 minutes into this thing :puke:
The only time I saw myself on there is when Kenny was blowing the horn. I'm behind the bar

[LtFinFan66]

so it is safe to continue! :whew:

[Gunzlingr]

I figured this sort of thing would be ESPN 8, the "ocho"

[The_Philster]

The only time I saw myself on there is when Kenny was blowing the horn. I'm behind the bar
I'm also there early on before they show him crawling into the car...when Kenny's doing his shot
I served it :up:

[LtBillsFan66]

was the show any good? I forgot to set my TiVo :fit:
Crap. Me too.

[The_Philster]

Kenny should've conferred with me before he announced his rally pickles ...it was 26-0, not 28-0 :shakeno:
:laughter:

[LtFinFan66]

damn, I thought the whole show was about kenny:wtf:

[LtFinFan66]

Kenny should've conferred with me before he announced his rally pickles ...it was 26-0, not 28-0 :shakeno:
:laughter:that and the milk was some nasty ****

[The_Philster]

damn, I thought the whole show was about kenny:wtf:
After a couple hundred more straight, maybe they'll do that....:idunno:

[The_Philster]

that and the milk was some nasty ****
Yeah...and he had to get a new bottle...milk jugs only last 4-5 years...it sprang a leak last game

[LtBillsFan66]

It's cool that Kenny has such a diligent secretary in The underscore Philster.

[BlackMetalNinja]

It was pretty cool, though quite short. Less than 5 minutes on the Pinto basically. I'll have to go back and watch it again to try and see Phil.... or on 2nd though, I wouldn't want to break my wonderful LCD TV by making it show that mug again!

Hey!! :mad:

[Historian]

Isn't this the week we drop the bowling ball on a tuna??????

[The_Philster]

I think Rick might be trying to do that with another ball...for those that want to. Kenny will have Fish Tiki Torches, though :up:
