    I was going to call this “batch number 2,” but then I remembered what kind of degenerates I’m dealing with.

    Oh, did I really type that?  Should I not have done that?  Was that wrong?

    Nice steve. Can't wait to drink your beer.  =)
    Have at it my friend. I'll be sure to bring plenty.  Let me know if you prefer anything or a particular style.  I'm in dire need of a weekend of relaxation, good company, good food and good music. 
    Can't wait to have a drink with everyone and do some catching up.  Of course with a bourbon slushie and my favorite hippie laying some tunes.

    No he bagged on us.  He has other commitments this weekend.  The guy coming this weekend is a long time Egghead from Atlanta and may just be the biggest Crimson Tide fan in the world (and this time I'm NOT talking about the movie).  I apologize in advance.  We'll have to get Scottie and him talking.

    BB run to Jungle Jim's has been made this evening.  Local Cincy craft beer has been obtained as well as a box of bbq crack chips.  Got two more nights and a raiding of my beer cellar still yet to happen.

    Love Jungle Jims so jealous!!!!!!!!!
    @Jupiter Jim , I live 10 minutes from the Fairfield Jungle Jim's.  I'm there at least once a week.  I regularly spend easily over a hundo and come home with nothing but beer, cheese, and snacks.  The place is ridiculous.

    I vaguely want to recall from the first Porkopolis, don't you have Cincinnati ties, possibly Moeller somehow?

    If I weren't going to Louisiana to take my son to the Angola prison rodeo this weekend (his request for his 21st birthday) I'd be jealous of you guys.

    And yes, we looked into the possibility of getting to western NC this weekend but couldn't sort out the logistics in any way that was affordable or sensible (and I realized there is nothing sensible about Butt Blast).

    We hope to make it there one year.

    We will get you down one of these years.  In the meantime, we’ll have @Eggcelsior bring more of your beer for everyone to drink ;)

    It seems Scotty might have had to go back out on the water and isn’t going to make it. Too bad. You could always kidnap @travisstrick on your way through and bring him along also.

    Sending up a secound flair to @Dredger to see if she may be able to join us this year at B.B.

     I had also reached out by PM to @tailg8ers unsuccessfully to see if they were able to join us. If either of you get this.....would love to see you join us.

    Have some Egghead friends there, Eddie Miners, Captain Frank, have cut back on $$$$ spent for Eggfest last few years so Porkoplis is a no go. Butt Blast has that spot on the schedule.

    @Jupiter Jim Jim Makes sense.  That first Porkopolis is where I got my XL.  I had cut my teeth in the “other” forum and was hanging with Frank, Vidalia and Eddie that day.  Vidalia was wonderful and patient with me.  Answering questions and making his mac’n cheese.  There was a lady in the group with y’all.  I want to say she was from Dayton, OH.  She made a spaghetti squash dish that I still remember to this day.  It was very good.

    Safe travels, and I’ll see you this weekend.
