Welcome to TheBigLebowski's SIX THOUSANDTH post.
My name's Trudy and I'm IUT's favorite trans-gendered Matey and I'm opening the show for
BL as he's running late after a rough night of taking care of his kid from 1-1:30 am, 2:30-3:00
am and off and on from 3:30-7 am.
He promises to be in soon. For now, I am going to handle Red Carpet Duties.
First, please stand as MC Kookie leads us in the National Anthem:
And now, a quick photo tease about the big Trailer Park Bar-B-Que that went down on this
lovely weekend.
That was a heckuva bar-b-que. You gotta love Harrumph's wife-beater farmer's tan,
though. The dude operates the grill more skillfully than any other, though.
Once billydjr left to return to Texas, we had to burn my favorite chair. He's not allowed in my
trailer anymore. He should just stay in Stunnedmonkey's place, since is forced to
spend most of his time under IUT's trailer, anyways.
Stunnedmonkey loves to perform, though.
The day before the big bar-b-que was the real sight to behold. All the OTFers were rolling in
to join in the grillin' and beer-drinkin' fun.
First, here's The Original Happy Goat, IU_Cramer and bennyiu arriving.
"We live under here!"
The new story-teller guy, trover, made the trip in from the East coast.
We were disappointed that tunk couldn't make it. Turned out there was some sort of mapping
emergency in Naptown.
He was nice enough to alllow our roving photographer to take a quick snapshot of him hard at work.
From our remote camera high atop Memorial Stadium, here's a shot of
BleedsCreamandCrimson primping for his big moment of arrival:
Ahh, more stretch El Camino limo's are pulling up, so more OTFers are sure to follow:
SuperHoosier hates to miss parties!
Tipsy, one of my fellow Matey's
gives the high-sign to kmwinter who made the trip from Ohio.
"Linux rules," he exclaims.
Fresh off their 6th and 7th DUIs respectively, Little Lebowski and Basil Fawlty arrive in style:
Public Service Announcement:
Cupping Prevents Chafing!
With a booming real estate market and not much time for the OTF lately, CarmelGreg had to
appease us by mailing us his latest Glamour Shot for use in his business cards and website:
At long last, HoosierPeach and IUAlllie roll in and pose for a deeply introspective shot:
Alrite, thanks Trudy for fillin' in for me, but I've finally arrived.
Actually, I'm doing this from the comfort of my living room
I'm too tired from the Trailer Park Shenanigans of the weekend and the long night taking care
of my offspring.
I know, about a thousand posts ago, I didn't think I'd ever do a milestone opus again, but I
got inspired and I came up with an original concept (not the pictures part).
I now offer:
How Well Do You Know Your Fellow OTF Posters?
Many of us have been around these parts for most of the year that the OTF has existed. During that time, it's
been pretty easy to pick up a lot of information about each other if you've been paying attention.
Just how much have you been paying attention, though? I'm a fairly observant guy and I think I've picked up
some interesting (usually innane) factiods about the OTF regulars.
Keep in mind that I've only met a few of these people. rolo tomasi and I went to high school together, but
we didn't know each other from Adam. Stunnedmonkey and I figured out that we played intramural volleyball
together at IU. Other than that, I've met Mr.Travis, DJ88, Little Lebowski, SuperHoosier, etecnifibre (briefly), and
jtbarber (who cut my hair Tuesday). I mention these because I really don't know you people too well on a
person-to-person level.
The thing I hate about doing posts like this is that I don't like leaving people out. So, if you're not part of this,
tough chit. That's the way the ball bounces.
So, without further adieu,
Part 1 - Chirren
Match the OTFer with their newborn/infant child
1. Kookie4IUa. Lilly 2. TheBigLebowskib. Jack 3. Arussc. Maxwell 4. Stunnedmonkeyd. Alexandria 5. Harrumphe. Mira 6. BigRedSpec f. Bella 7. jtbarberg. Charlie

Part 3 - Interesting Career Factoids

That was fun. Let's see how we all do.
Now, back to the weekend's festivities at the Trailer Park.
I mentioned that Harrumph was truly the Master of the Gas Grill, but IUT's wife came around
and was a HUGE help getting food ready. Here's a candid shot of her enjoying
herself at the party:
This shot of WonOne inhaling some sausage drew some giggles from most of us:
Oh man, the party started to get out of control early.
Dolfingus was one of the instugators of wildness:
With his wife actingl catty lately, BigRedSpec felt the need to bring his kid along with him
as he came in from Beantown. Here, we catch him contemplating breast-feeding his
youngun:
Univee2 made the trip. How he found the time to come in and get THIS loaded between
composing his song parodies is beyond me
Party on, my friend!
As the night wore on, things got wilder and wilder. Little Lebowski was lucky enough
to have a fantasy fulfilled.
Aruss proves once again, he knows how to get the girls:
What's a party without Kurt Cloverdale? Actually, he wasn't invited and it MADE HIM MAD!
He was waiting to take out anyone who's crossed him over the last year.
rolo tomasi joined the festivities. He was singing all sorts of WHAM! and
Phil Collins songs. If you ask me, the dude's totally stuck in the 80's
clubjockey was dressed "to the nines" for this special night
and HoosierInTheATL was trying to put a stop to the rumor that he's a total light-weight
What's a trailer park event without HLA?
Dangitall, that's the last time we let Tenacious-D invite girls to our parties.
He's too hard up
When it was all said and done, we all agreed that a good time was had by all.
Luckily, we had the Matey's around to help with clean-up:
Here, Ozzy, Dio and Tinkles pick up trash on the grounds.
IUT was relieved that there was one virgin remaining for him
Except for some loud bleating sounds, Sunday was a very peaceful night in Trailer Park town.
