Thread: Hi, I'm Gary

Hi, my name is Gary, and I'm from Glen Ellyn, Illinois. I recently became a huge Vikings fan - I was at home, and some friends of a friend of mine came to visit her, and they asked me if I'd like to make a road trip to see the Vikings play the Tennessee Titans in Tennessee. I said sure, what the heck. Little did I know that I was in for an adventure of a lifetime! We took a lot of pictures along the way, so I thought I'd post them here...

Here's me getting ready to head to Tennessee

The guys I was riding with asked Vikeswin2005 that if he was gonna choke his chicken to take it outside - I think he misunderstood them...

Classic! LMFAO!

Where is the one of you drinking my Miller Lite?

Gary, great to meet you my feathery friend.
Post well and often.

By the way, what the hell happened to all of my Beast.
I know I didn't drink it all on my own.
I said you could have a couple.

Skol and welcome Gary. It was great to meet you at the tailgaiting, you will have to try and make it to a game at the dome sometime.

Well, that's about it. Some of the other guys may have pics, but I just wanted to say thanks to Vikeswin2005, Vikesfan713, Singersp, Shockzilla, and ESPECIALLY TNT for taking me on the road with them. Maybe I'll see everyone at the next Minnesota tailgate!

SKOL VIKINGS!!! (I have NO idea what that means, but it sounds cool!)

welcome to the site

SKOL!!!

did you get laid on the trip?
