BW Shame

2011-03-10T20:19:00.003-05:00

One would think that the 19th annual Brother's Weekend would be a highly anticipated event -- the newly designed logo and possible accompanying shirts, the last BW hurrah before a brother turns 60 next March, and...well, it's Brothers Freakin Weekend! ...at least one would think.

But along comes Micah. The trunkerous MBA branding babbler, the desperate job hunter, the cry-opractic back patient.

And the Sultan of Shame.

This blog does not have the capacity for a proper analysis of Micah's traitorous wedding plans. His half decade LeBron-athon of marital feet-dragging, culminating in a publicly announced "decision to take his talents to South C'bus", was an affront to all things BeeDub. Strategically placing his wedding in late May, Micah knew that the event would either result in a cancellation of BW or at least pushing it to page 2 of the summer Fening news.

We've already seen some fallout -- Chris coming in so late for the festivities that a photo-op and meet-n-greet are the only planned events for his weekend. There may not even be clubs in his trunk. Tim is so dejected that he may "decide" to scrape together very little cash for poker. And Mike has mentioned it may even be worth picking up a heavy paint can that weekend to get his usual summer back strain out of the way in time for the wedding.

Like the endless orange barrels we see on highways every day, Micah's plans to divert traffic away from Middletown and toward Columbus will be met with rage..and payback. You don't bring shameless disrespect to BW. You don't mess with Sasquatch and get away with it. And not just Ed, but the rest of us too!

Target: Micah's cry spot

This might work.

BW XIX weekend date set

2011-02-14T10:10:00.003-05:00

The 19th Annual Brothers Weekend has been set as the weekend before the Royal Wedding (Memorial Day Weekend) and begins with Chris' arrival on the night of Friday, May 20. For most of us, it will be a very busy spring. Besides Micah and Jenn's nuptials, we have:

Erin's graduation
Joey's graduation
Our 20th anniversary

I think I'm missing some.

Rick turns 60; breaks new ground; we watch and learn

Introducing the almost-official BW logo

2010-10-27T15:31:00.004-04:00

MICAH, WE'RE LOOKING FOR YA!

2010-05-18T19:34:00.003-04:00

Better take it to the hole strong, dude, or not at all...Brady's after you in a big way.

JUST A FEW MORE DAYS

2010-05-14T16:26:00.004-04:00

I haven't practiced, I have very little money, but BW comes upon us nonetheless. BEHOLD IT COMES. GIRD THY LOINS. Micah, prepare thyself for vicious beatings in golf, poker, and dog piles.

Ed, we're over here!

2010-05-10T18:25:00.002-04:00

Ed sure has gotten more silver lately.

Micah and his Cry Spot

2010-05-05T15:10:00.003-04:00

What Micah has to look forward to

2010-05-03T11:00:00.002-04:00

Is there anybody out there?

Micah's ripoff: "Dork's Weekend"

2010-04-25T10:39:00.004-04:00

For years Micah has lamely tried to copy cat BW among his friends. A recent pic reveals that his wild poker bash consist of Star Wars nerds (see poster on wall), computer geeks, and guys wearing fake horns. Pretty lame Micah. You have brought shame on our legendary event. The committee may be forced to consider a suspension or public censure.

Once again, Micah has jetted off to a foreign land under the guise of learning. His MBA program uses these business excursions as cover for a lot of drinking, goofing around with the locals, and, obviously, mudslide baths. Memo to Micah: learning how to say "brand management" in Portuguese is not making Jenn feel any better about paying the rent and bills for you. It's also certainly not preparing you for the BW beat-down you shall receive at the poker table. And no we don't accept any Euros, only cold hard greenbacks.

Happy Birthday, Chris...58!!!!!

2010-03-30T10:55:00.004-04:00

OMG, Chris is getting up there. This BW, we'll have to assuage the torment of time upon him by making funny faces and sounds to make him laugh.

Let's all pull together to help Chris cross the gray frontier so he can tell us what lies ahead.

Happy Birthday, Chris. For God's sake, hang in there!

2010-03-08T14:11:00.001-05:00

Time to shake up this lame-o pseudo-blog! Let's get some BW chatter happening. Any ideas for an itinerary? What's on the menu for the grillapalooza?

The trouble with Diane

2010-01-29T14:22:00.002-05:00

Diane really wants to come and visit us during this year's BW. She can't make it Memorial Day weekend, because she's flying out to visit Banks out in CA.

The weekend before Memorial Day? We've yet to hear from some of our brothers on this.

BROTHERS WEEKEND 2010...select a weekend

2010-01-24T11:00:00.001-05:00

Okay...it's time to determine the weekend.

Brady, Ed, and I think Memorial Day Weekend is a good one. That's May 28-31. Chris? Mike? Rick? Micah? Diane?

Closing ceremonies for 17th Annual BW

2009-05-26T08:28:00.002-04:00

A huge structure was designed by family architect Rick Fishbaugh to commemorate the closing ceremonies of the 17th Brothers Weekend. It was indeed a spectacle to honor a very special event.

Tim in surprise double victory

2009-05-26T07:16:00.002-04:00

Chairman of Competition Ed Fening presenting the symbolic $10 bill to Tim for his incredible victory over Mike, Chris, Ed, and Brady in golf at the notorious Shaker Run golf course on May 24. Little did anyone think that Tim would take the poker championship later that same night. What a day of victory for Tim! We all congratulate Tim on his unbelievable double victory! (Note: Rick did win the low score on golf that day, but we all expected that to happen.)

Lots of new poll questions to answer.

2009-05-14T13:34:00.003-04:00

Please fill out all the polls in the right column. This is part of the Timstigative market research efforts.

Just for doing so, I'm posting everyone's favorite photo of the Original Brothers Weekend.

Enjoy, at no extra charge.

WELCOME BACK!

2009-04-15T12:29:00.001-04:00

It's good to be back live, especially a month before this greatest of the world's events. Did you know that more people attend Brothers Weekend than the Olympics? Of course not, silly.
