stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 So I have just returned home from a weeks vacation to the New England area of the U.S. and I had a great week! The weather was great, the sites great and according to my wife so too was the shopping. All that aside being the ravid Boston Red Sox fan that I am got a special treat. Now I have seen many, many games at Fenway and other parks over the years and this trip was to be no exception...but there is an exception. After the game was over I got to go onto the field...THE field! Not only that but I actually got access to the Green Monster. Being the huge ball fan that I am this was a Monster experience to say the least. Oh yeah I also managed to "liberate" a small bag of the warning track to add to my den of memorabilia. Anyway onto the reason for this thread, I am wondering who else has great vacation stories that they want to share. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PAPERSILO 41 Report post Posted September 25, 2010 back in '93 a buddy and i drove down to road island to visit a friend at college , salve regina . the opening scene of the schwarzenegger movie true lies was being shot there that week , you know , where he is escaping the party and running and skiing through the snow . we never met him or anyone else associated with the film but just an interesting side story . our friend was going through midterms at the time of our visit so we ended up hanging out with one of his school buddies a lot . this guy , buzz , is 6'9" 360lbs without an once of fat on him and always had a couple of needles handy , hmmm . he took us to a bar , it was $25 each to get in , he got us in for free . we had to walk bout another 5 minutes go up a long flight of stairs where a bouncer was leting people , as soon as we got up to the door he closed it . he asked us where we think we are going , buzz told him in for a drink , bouncer said i dont think so ! buzz replied who are you to decide that , the bouncer said i am the bouncer . buzz goes oh well than bounce , picks him up like a 5lbs bag of potatos and throws him down the stairs , and the guy did bounce off of every stair . as we walked inside my friend and i were ready for it all to go down , immediately this older man come over and he buzz began to " bro-out " we sat at a table with this guy , didnt pay for anything all night , and never was a word mentioned about what happened just outside the door . congrats steve , the monster - wow !
