MOB SCENE AT THE HYATT
Highlights from this weekend's SoxFest
The Daily Heckle, Monday, January 30, 2006

- Former Sox pitchers Lamar Hoyt and Britt Burns Jell-o wrestled in a kiddie pool while a growing mob of 17-year-old fans cheered them on.

- The Paul Konerko Kissing Booth was a big hit, even though Paulie had garlic breath from his eight-course meal at a nearby Olive Garden.

- More than half the fans in attendance wore shirts.

- Half of those shirts had sleeves.

- Notorious Sox fan William Ligue, Jr. was ejected for fighting with catcher A.J. Pierzynski over a tin of Kodiak.

- Most Sox players were so recognizable they no longer had to wear "My Name is:" nametags.

- Pitchers Jon Garland and Mark Buehrle were victorious after being allowed to enter the father/son three-legged race, despite protests from runners-up Willie Harris and Willie Harris, Jr.

- Frank Thomas showed up, claiming the check for his World Series share had bounced. Jim Thome showed Thomas the exit.

- In World Series highlight film, that creepy Burger King mascot was superimposed over Scott Podsednik.

- The Ken "Hawk" Harrelson Dunk Tank raked in a cool $395,000, which will go unreported to the IRS.

- Called the greatest sting operation in Chicago law enforcement history, authorities collared over 700 felons, deadbeat dads and other undesirables. Ron Karkovice was later released on bond.

- The crowds' loudest cheers came when a 2005 Cubs blooper reel was shown on the big screen.

- A SoxFest record was set as players spelled 91 percent of their autographs correctly.

- Joe Crede's Creed cover band, Re-Crede-Creed, rocked the crowd with a stirring rendition of "My Sacrifice."

- Ron Kittle introduced his "Kittle Vittles," later discovered to be road kill and Velveeta.

- Bobby Jenks exploded after eating a hot dog cart and hot dog vendor.

Because Cubs fans never take their shirts off. Or wear pookah shell necklaces. Or backwards hats. Or livestrong bracelets. Or barbed wire tattoos.

Really doubt there is an Olive Garden anywhere near where the Soxfest was at.

Olive Garden is absolute crap. And if I were of Italian heritage, I would be offended that that is what most people think is "good" italian food.

However, being Irish, I have no room to really talk about other people's food. Like Leary said "You know what the irish are famous for cuisine-wise? We put everything in a pot.......and boil it for 17 and 1/2 hours straight"
