For all the Old heads out there..... I think I'll take the donut on this thread!

phillybroncosnut · 03-29-2004, 07:59 PM

Thanks for the props fella's!

I'm surprised this came back up. I think this deserves to be nominated to the Ring of Fame section. All in favor?

Bronco Yoda · 03-29-2004, 08:07 PM

I'll second that nomination...if I can still have that chairback. lol

Thanks, Tredici, for bringing this to the fore-front. and after reading all the pages in this thread, I've got a big frickin' SMILE on my face!!! Thanks Tredici, Thanks Philly!!! That Elway Seat is Top-Notch!!!

Now I've got to watch- "Super Bowl XXXII Champions"!!!

phillybroncosnut · 03-29-2004, 09:04 PM

ORANGE! Or BLUE.

I have to give a bit of a sad update here though. A few months back, during a big smow storm here, my sump pump line froze and dumped 12" of water back into my basement. What a complete nightmare. I didn't notice it until I went down in my basement to watch TV and there was standing water right at the top of the first step. I nearly had a heart attack (No lie). My first thought was to run down and shut the breaker off so no electric was on in the basement. then, as I got to the bottom of the steps, I looked over and saw one of my surge protector's submerged in the water. The freaking thing was foaming and bubbling. needless to say, I didn't wade into the water. Good thing I saw the surge protector or I might not be here today.
I had to call PECO (the PA electric company) and they came out and said the only thing the could do (and they had to do it, i had no choice) was to chut off all the power to my house until I got an inspector out to make sure there was no fire risk. this all happened at 11 O'clock at night so obviously, I couldn't get an inspector out till the next day.
What's worse is that my wife was being induced for labor to have our second child the next day. It's not fun having no power, Lights, TV, HEAT, etc in the winter.
The inspector came out and cleared everything but PECO being PECO told me they couldn't guarantee that they could come out for another 2 days because it wasn't an emergency. I wanted to kill someone for real.
My next mission was a little issue with how to get 12" of standing ater out of a basement with no power. Luckily, we have great neighbors and they let me run an extension cord from their house to my basement. It took several hours to get all the water out.

On the bright side, No Bronco items were damaged because they are high enough off the ground. Unfortunately, I did lose about 12 game tapes because they were on the bottom shelf of my TV stand.
I also lost, 2 TV's, My computer, 2 printers, a scanner, sofa, love seat, had to tear up all my carpeting as well. Also, I had to cut 2 feet from the ground up the dry wall and rplace it with new dry wall, and tear out all the instalation and replace that.

So thats the update. Thank god None of the Bronco stuff was effected. Some of that stuff is not replacable.

The joys of being a homowner.

Ring of fame thread!

No self respect here!

Bronco Yoda · 03-29-2004, 10:43 PM

I'm glad you didn't get a shocker there Philly.

..... that reminds me.... I'm still your bronco beneficiary right? -just in case you decide to play electrified Suez Canal again you wacky bronco bro.

maybe you should double check to see that my name is marked in the back of all the items in WATERPROOF marker. You can never be too careful and some things are too important to be left to chance.

What a time for that to happen.

Yeah, it's a scary thought. Wonder what would have happened though if I did step foot in that water.
Maybe nothing? Maybe a little shock? Maybe a whole lot worse?

Either way, thatnk god I saw that before I jumped in.

Tredici · 03-30-2004, 07:59 AM

It's okay Philly. We all know if the Bronco gear was being threatened you would've waded in. Consequences be damned!

RaiderH8r · 03-30-2004, 08:08 AM

Wow, who knew heaven was in a Philly basement.

Popps · 03-30-2004, 11:52 AM

Wow! Unbelievable collection, Philly. Have you submitted this pics to Denverbroncos.com? Bet you they'd run a little blurb on it with some pics. I can't imagine anyone having a much better collection of Broncos-only stuff than yours.

sutoazul · 03-30-2004, 04:15 PM

Damn sorry about what happened there with all the water!!

Just wanted to say how green of envy must of us are, seeing that collection of Bronco's stuff. Keep it safe dude... get some insurance on that treasure too!!

There are probably a couple hundred Bronco collections that would dwarf mine somewhere in the world.
I'll just take pride that I have the biggest collection in the Philly area.

Sorry 'bout that... Bud seemed to be going down pretty smoothly last night!!!

Edited and Philly can blow monkey nuts for the rest of his life!!!

phillybroncosnut · 03-31-2004, 07:03 PM

pink puppy belli dat. Don't delete it. It's funny to hear your homosexual tendensies.

How's the team look? We are starting to gel in practice now. Our first game isn't till April 13th so we have about a week and a half's worth of practice left before we face the true test.

Broncoman13 · 03-31-2004, 07:14 PM

You ask me about the team and we are going to blow this thread up!!! I'm pink puppy belliing hot right now about the team. Too many kids that (2) that don't give 100 % and they have the ability to be real players. One kid can get from 1st to 3rd in less than 7 seconds. Put him in the field and he dogs it. He wants to catch.... but can't! He belongs in the OF but won't hustle even a little for the ball... practice or a game.

Last game we were down by 2 line drive off the fence and a kid on second allows himself to get thrown out at home..... didn't bother to even slide. Guess what we did for two hours tonight at practice!!! Every kids knows about six different ways to slide now, only problem with that is now all of them are crying about strawberry's on their asses!

You want some more

And I don't have any homosexual tendensies, I'm just not afraid to be stupid and make a scene! pink puppy belliER!

phillybroncosnut · 03-31-2004, 07:19 PM

LMAO at the "pink puppy bellier" at the end.

Dude, do yourself a favor and BENCH the lazy motherpink puppy belliers. One of 2 things will happen:
1- They will get the message eventually

or

2- You will have a couple sets of parents on your ass!

Either way, Bench them. You're the king of that castle and your word is law.

Broncoman13 · 03-31-2004, 07:24 PM

2 has already happened. Complaints filed to FCA, the board, and BCO. We have another kid on the team that can hit the ball a ton (he was the one that one hopped the fence the other night) problem with him is he just had a car accident and was wheelchaired for a long time. His parents are claiming that we are sitting him out b/c of his accident, not the fact that he has trouble running. Did I mention that he would have only got a single on that hit? Now everytime we sit a kid he and one of the problem childs parents are standing behind the dugout. FRUSTRATING!

Parents really do ruin sports for kids and adults who "DONATE" their time to teaching/babysitting their kids.
It's to the point that coaches are "saints" on earth to have to deal with the BS that some parents (who have the next Barry Bonds for a son) dish out.

Grin and bear it dude. You have to do your best to not let it get to you. It's hard to tune them out but if you can, your world will be a lot better. Even if you can't totally tune them out, just act like you can't hear them. They will make huge asses out of themselves by making comments loudly.
