grilled meat and bear bongs FTW!!!!

[UG]

Burgers, brats, chips, charcoal, lighter fluid, matches, grill, spatula/tongs, paper plates, napkins, condiments, football to throw around, a washer/bag-o type game, cooler, ice, etc...

Beer, more beer, even more beer.

Take a bottle of something to take shots with so you can get even more drunk.

More beer.

I think that should do it.

vs. Texas right? Give em hell

[jyms]

It's not a successful tailgate if you don't make it through the game. Passing out or puking is a fail in the tailgate rulebook. You need to eat messy, greasy and unhealthy meat, sandwiches and snacks. Your grease intake must be on par with your protien intake and you must survive the game. And I don't mean sitting there in your self drunkeness. Pick a guy on the other team to berate and don't let up.

all this advice is good, but whatever you do, dont dress up in black garbage bags and get carried around by your burly manfriend.

Probably common knowledge, but boil the brats in beer before grilling.

wow, youve got it so completely backwards that you actually have inspired me to post good advice in this thread....

You seer the brats first, giving them nice grill marks and what not. As you are doing this you ready a beer bath. A beer bath consists of obviously beer, then onions, butter (srsly, you need butter, it makes everything better), garlic, salt and pepper. You can clearly ad other things if you want to get interesting, such as a bay leef or a clove. You finish the brats in the beer bath and then serve them with the onions which have been braising with the brats in that god sent beer/butter concoction.

Toast the buns on the grill and have some good mustard handy; ketchup on a brat is a crime.

you've never had a brat? really?

[UG]

Bag-o is a game for gays that don't play washers.

It's played with a small bean bag and you try to throw said bean bag into a hole that's thirty feet away...If you make it into the hole you get three points, if you get it to stay on the ledge it's worth one point.

Again, washers is the way to go, bag-o is for girls.

[boost]

Ive never heard of washers, what is it?

[UG]

Basically it's a game where you throw metal/copper washers from about 30 feet and you try to get it into a hole (usually made with PVC pipe). Everyone has their own system of scoring, but the way we play goes like this......if you get it into the PVC pipe you get three points. If you fail to get it into the PVC pipe (which is fucking hard to do), you still have a chance to score by getting it to land in the "box" that the PVC hole lays in. If you get it into the box you get one point, anything else is no points. Each person/team gets three washers to throw.

If two people get washers into the "box" the closest one to the hole gets the point(s). If I land all three washers in the box and you land one, and yours is closest to the hole, all three of my points are negated and you get the point (you'd get two points if you had two washers closer than my washers).

Our games usually go to 11, but I've played grudge matches to 50 and 100 before.

You can add drinking penalties that coincide with the scoring to make it more interesting. Example: you have to finish your beer in hand if the other person/team gets it into the PVC pipe, or a drink for every point the other team gets. I don't play with drinking rules, and my friends don't either, because we're pounding beers as we play anyway. We don't need a fucking game to tell us when to drink.

Here is a washers game that you can purchase.



Purchasing a pre-made washers game is considered semi-gay. It's okay if you do it this way but prepare to get ridiculed mercifully. It is definitely more manly to make your own washers game with your bare hands.

Also, notice the carpet. Almost everyone plays with carpet on the bottom of their washers game. You can use all different kinds that will lessen/increase the bounce of your washers which makes it harder/easier to score points. Some people use sand but who the fuck wants to carry around a bag of sand just to play this game.

Everyone has their own theory on how to throw the washer. Some do it over handed but the underhanded toss is used the most. Some do it side-ways too. You can flip your washer (like I do), or you can throw it with no flip, whatever you want.

Here's a picture of my buddy playing the game while we tailgated before a Royals game (that's Arrowhead Stadium in the background)...



Here's a picture of me playing the game...




There you go, any more questions?



P.S. The dude in the picture with me is my best friend's brother-in-law.......yup, you guessed it, he's a little different.

A friend of mine, who is from Wisconsin, once told me that if people came to his house and he WASN'T boiling brats, they would ask if his stove was broken or something. :P

lol he's actually a pretty solid guy, just a little different, not like in the way you'd want to hang out with him on a daily/weekly/monthly basis but hanging out with him every year or so is cool
