Royal Rountable Lunch 1/30/19
 

Thy 3rd Annual Royal Roundtable lunch hath been royally scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 30th, noon, at Milanos. Marketh thy royal calendars and feel free to join the UDPride Braintrust as we discuss all things 'UD' with the pride, dignity and class reserved, deserved and reflective of the collective greatness of those in attendance!

The Roundtable does not discriminate therefore all are invited regardless of size, speed, strength, and Royalty.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

King Rollo the...the...the King....OUT!

I better start looking for McNugget coupons.

Does this mean Sir Figgie is paying? That'll be a first...:whiteflag: :beermug:

King Rollo: Will those who have been so loyal to your royal authority over the years be treated to lunch by the King?

SDF picked up the tab in '17 but only because he beat me to it...I reversed the trend in '18. Both of us will be in attendance so if you, Figgie, Clayton, Chris R and other Royalty are looking for a free meal the odds are in your favor. No take out orders permitted. :D

which Milanos?

There's only 1 Royal Milano's...Brown St.

Can someone bring their iPad so I can Facetime in from Texas?

To go to the only real Milanos you need a time machine. I still miss the ashes that dropped into the sub from the old lady’s cigarette.

Since the Royal Credit Card I was given only allows me 2 20-pc McNuggets a year, I don't think I can cover everyone else.

Turn on C-SPAN, it's really no different. :) Bickering, noone listening to anyone else, someone high and mighty thinking their in charge, etc. ... :)

There's a medical term for that: 'EtFiggieus Claytonitis'.

Not to mention her hands going straight from the cash drawer to the next loaf of bread to make a sandwich...w/ no sanitary gloves.

The two pounds of turkey stuffed into a real homemade roll mixed with the cigarette ashes is far superior to the measly amount of turkey they put into a cold turkey now. Ahhhh the good ole days....

Roundtable?? I've never heard of a Royal Family sitting at a Round Table, that implies all are equal; and that cannot be true.
I guess Milanos is at least within smelling distance of the Pine Club.

I thought it was the 4th? And the table has been rectangular at the two I have had the displeasure of attending. :)

Those were ashes? I always thought they were her mustache trimmings.

They weren't Royal until SDF joined us.


Remember that frat scene in Animal House where Otter was shown into a 'special room' of...of...well, of potential candidates? That, my friendly Vice-King, is the equivalent of the rectangular table.

What makes SDF so special, besides his credit card? :D

The wisdom, insight, and commentary that he brings to this website!:p And of course he has connections to King Rollo. :D

I'm desperate for credit card points. How's that for some twisted logic? :)

This Priders, is the real deal.

Cheesesteak, Mountain Dew ... that'll be about 10 min babe.

Use them or lose them, TWA still owes me 4 free flights anywhere in the US

Cheesesteak, no mayo. They changed the cheesesteak to include mayo a few years ago and I did not like it.

That will be a good day...Milanos with royalty...then off to cincy for the Metallica concert.

BUMP
 

Let the Royal Countdown begin...23 days and counting!

Wednesday, Jan 30th...Noon...Milanos.

If all goes well, I'm hoping to build on last year's Talent Show...so you old men better start stretching now.

Let’s not go there, it’s a silly place....

How big is Milano parking lot. Can it handle a 40 ft motorhome. Imagine brown street is narrow with limited parking.

You can fit a motorhome in front of across from Milanos. Get there before noon!

Two years in a row Jeff and I have brought warm southern weather to Dayton for the Royal Roundtable. Crossing my fingers for the trifecta.

I might add that we can't get out of Dallas if we are going to Gainesville without our wives. But for some reason they don't like the odds of bad weather in Ohio during the winter months. Go figure.

Thanks Rollo. Think found better solution. Going to treat my brother to St Joe's game (found two tickets for 65 plus fees whatever those are) then bring him to Milano if that's ok. He's not a UDPRIDER (not into social media much) but does know a prider or two. Then want to introduce him to Sandiego flyer they can exchange some UD golf stories.

Avid...SDF...Shocka...Figgie...Clayton...cj...King Rollo!

If this isn't a Hall of Fame lunch, what is???

But here's the real question: Where is Chris R??? :eek:

Will there be "mead" or Bud Light?

How warm can you guarantee this year? Mrs. Clayton just informed me she hates cold weather and she thinks we need to take a week long road trip the last week of this month, somewhere hot, sunny, sandy, and lots of eye candy for me to enjoy.

With my concert that nightin Cincy...I think a beverage may be in order...might as well start early. Not like I have never seen Clayton with a beer in his hand before noon.

The real question is if Rollo has enough pull to get the old Millano's style subs

2 weeks from today Sir SDF will be in town and the Royal Braintrust of UDPride will celebrate the only appropriate way known any and all UD alum and fans...lunch at Milanos!

https://savingslifestyle.com/wp-cont...10/milanos.png + http://megasportsnews.com/wp-content...esy-Dayton.jpg

Noon.

Mark it down. See you there!

Always a fun lunch
 

The way it looks, we have a good chance of getting snowed in or snowed out. Fingers crossed on the weather. After the Roundtable we are heading to watch the Red Hawk gals play the Bobcats. Are the roads from Dayton to Athens still winding hilly two lane roads like they were in 1961?

Don't worry about the roads...just rent a mule like you did as an undergrad.

Well I have left town on vacation twice in my lifetime in the middle of winter, and both times fell during the Royal Roundtable.

Mrs. Clayton Flyer Fan has booked a cruise and lots of beach time for a 10 day getaway to celebrate my birthday. It was a tough decision as to which I wanted to do, but considering my choices were sit on a white sandy beach in the Caribean enjoying the eye candy as my wife gives me a back rub and keeps my beverage full and cold, or sit at a table at Milanos in cold and snowy Dayton watching Rollo flex, Shocka chug Nati lights and make rude bodily noises, while Figgy runs his calculator keeping track of who made the most Swampy jokes, well you all know what I chose.

Have fun y'all, and hopefully I catch you all next year, if I am invited :)

As a side note, this is the second time in the last year we have googled last minute vacation and cruise deals and picked up a real cheap trip under 2 weeks before departure. If your able to go on short notice, can save $ on Expedia and other sites versus regular prices and booking further in advance like we used to always have to do.

Your MVP trophy will be in the case when you return. :)

Clayton is out and NJ71 is in, so that should make Agenda Item #2 - Vice-King Vote a lot easier.

But that will have to wait until Agenda Item #1 - Picking Up The Royal Tab is settled...which may take a while...unless Chris R shows up. In which case the vote will be unanimous. Unless...

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20160120002316

Speak up now! Or forever hold your peace...

Wow, so I win the MVP trophy without even showing up. Shows how weak the competition is :D

Doesn't everyone get a trophy?

Or how much more you've done to earn it...

Enjoy!

Just didn't want another year of your lobbying and whining. :outtahere:

Add four more to the feast, udee79, Goudgo, goudgo2, and stmarys

The stretch of route 50 between Chillicothe and Athens has not changed in 30 years, still hilly and winding and 2 lanes. I have not driven from Dayton to Chillicothe on route 35 in 20 years, although IINM, that stretch of road has undergone significant improvement in that time. Route 32 between Cincinnati and Athens has not changed in the last 20 years.

2 of my nephews are currently students at OU, I have visited them several times, I try to take a different route each time back and forth just for variety.

And FWIW, Chillicothe no longer has that overpowering sulphur smell to it, not sure if a plant moved or changed or what. Quite a strong smell, I guess that you got used to it if you lived there.

I have family in Athens so I drive from south of Dayton fairly regularly. I usually take 35 (four lane the whole way, limited access for most) all the way to Jackson, then take 32 into Athens (four lane divided but not limited access). Whether it's faster than taking 50 from Chillicothe to Athens is debatable, but it's 1000x less stressful than getting stuck behind some turnip truck on winding, two-lane 50 or worrying about the Buford T. Justice speed trap in McArthur. (It is a pretty, scenic route though).

FYI, the Google machine says the route via Jackson is ten miles farther, but one minute faster.

If you get stuck behind a slow vehicle on 50 between Chillicothe and Athens, then it can be hard to find a spot to pass.

My dad was driving between Chillicothe and Athens on 50 once on the way to an OU visit, and he got stuck behind a slower pickup truck with locals? inside. They threw one or more beer bottles at him when he was trying to pass them.

I agree that 50 between Chillicothe and Athens is a very pretty drive.

Agree that 35 to 32 is by far the best route - four lanes all the way. However, if the forecast calls for snow coming up from the South, 70 to 33 is better. We were in Athens once and a huge snowstorm hit from the South. Coming home we took 33 up to 70 and had no problem. Had we taken the "southern route" we would have had big problems.

Since this thread has morphed into an Ohio U chatroom, I may as well do as the Romans do...hence:

Can anyone give me directions of how to get to USC, University of Florida and University of Arkansas?

Head south and turn right at the Gator...get a bite to eat and head west.

...drive about 6 hours and stop at the nearest BBQ joint. Order some pork bellies...

When you're done licking up all the sloppy seconds, get back in the truck and continue heading west until you hit the ocean...you know you're in the right place when you see this:

Any more requests???

but make it the long route passing UCLA, Long Beach, Zona, ASU, and a few other destinations of your choosing

[QUOTE=ClaytonFlyerFan;570142]Go through Oxford, Miss. then swing through Auburn Al, ending in Gainesville. Nothing else matters at that point. You will be limp by that time.

You guys better stop because you can't afford my overtime pay.

USC has the best of all time all the time

All of this shameless and toxic masculinity is so offensive!

Gillette anyone?

6 days and counting. :eek:

Wedn, Jan 30th, noon...Milanos. :D

You hit .300 you make it to Cooperstown........
With the Anthem lyrics posted on the corner boards at the Arena, before George Mason game, I only have two more items requested, to be put in place, to raise that avg. to 1.000 !!
Tom Blackburn's name ON THE PLAYING COURT and
the 2022 WSU - UD game per Buzzfeed.

Wednesday is almost here! C'mon out and meet SDF, Shocka, Figgie, and, of course, Avid who will be attending his 1st Royal Roundtable!!!

Jan. 30...Noon...Milanos.

FWIW, the weather forecast says Wednesday's high temperature will be -2F, but the Roundtable must meet and the UDPride realm shall be saved for another year! The gods may be against us, but they are dwarfed by our collective appetites! At least they are as long as Shocka is there...

We are running head-long into the coldest arctic blast of the year. ugh. But nothing stops Flyer Fans. We will be there. My own personal worst is Cedar Rapids Iowa in the late '60's.
20 degrees below zero and a 30 mph wind = minus 53 degrees wind chill.

I think they are going for a repeat of that on Wednesday this week.

Well I don’t remember wind chill but in early 1990 we had 30 below or lower. I went out to start my Suburban and it was over a minute before the oil pressure started to rise but the valve seals were shot. Never again I switched to Mobile 1 and never experienced viscosity change again + so much easier on the starter and battery.

If you take the 35 to 32 route slow down when you get to Jackson County. The speed limit drops from 70 to 60 and you best not go over 63. I have driven this route 50+ times in the last 10 years and the only time I see state troopers is in Jackson County.

Wishing I could be there tomorrow! I'll drink one in Texas and be there in "Flyer" spirit.

Would love to attend, but duty calls. Toast TerryK and (hopefully) a Flyer victory.

Would like to be there but FedEx gave me a delivery window of 7am to 7pm for the big screen OLED tv delivery and I need to be home.

Bought from LG dealer but still need to take pictures of truck, driver, condition of box and TV as I open the box. The freezing weather has me concerned as to the any effect on Light Emiting Diodes. I’ll open box and use laser to check temperature of the TV as delivered and let the Tv normalize to room temperature before unboxing.

I even paid the Ohio sales tax.

Enjoy one and all to the round table. Looking forward to next year.

Had planned to make it but (work) life interfered. Radar Jr will be there in spirit as his photo hangs in the back of the bar area as a recipient of the Milano's challenge, circa 2018. Enjoy Priders, looking forward to the next RR!

I've eaten alone before, today may be no different!
 

Unfortunately I will be dealing with the frozen tundra and won't be able to attend my first RRT outing.

Is there about to be a Hostile Takeover? Stay tuned!

Will there be a battle for the Golden Throne??

I expect fireworks at the Royal Luncheon!!!

The true King will be determined by who picks up the tab...;)

Let them eat cake.

School cancelled, so I have grand daughter duty. A blessing to be able to spend the day with her. No, I will not bring a six year old to the round table lunch of heathens.
Enjoy! I was looking forward to beef on a kimelwick.

I'll lift a glass of water to the crown from Florida today.

I've got my McNugget coupons in my pocket! Let's go!

Special Counsel Sir Rollo Mueller has been retained and shalt be investigating Squire Figgie's cake. Expect indictments...many, many YUGE indictments...believe me, they're gonna be BIG...in 2026. ;)

Best wishes
 

Very best wishes to all..I wish I could be there.

UACFlyer

Even The Fly would like to be there to add some brain cells to the gathering. Alas, sunny southern Virginia is a long way away. Hope everyone has a good time!

Unfortunately the battery in my TaunTaun has finally died after a long protracted illness over the last 6 weeks and I'm not Ubering to Pep Boys to get a new one to swap it out in this icebox this morning, nor pulling out the support vehicle from winter carbonite hibernation. It will have to wait for the 50s forecasted by end of weekend. May have to schedule an abbreviated roundtable redux before selection sunday.

I expect a full report on the minutes from the roundtable secretary so they may be published in the annual report.

The Royal Roundtable feast is complete and - like Vegas - what happens at the Royal Roundtable stays at the Royal Roundtable. The only discussion I can share publically is that Sir Widget and Sir Figgie have abdicated their false claims to the golden throne and I shalt be thy leader for at least another year.

All Hale King Rollo! The undisputed King of UDPride! :beermug:

So, King by default. Kinda like....

Chris great seeing you last night!!!

Just like the DDN, King Rollo needs some editing. The proper spelling used in this context is "All Hail King Rollo!"

4 min after chastising Sir Figgie for scolding you in public, you scold your King in public.

Which makes you a liberal, not a snowflake.

Dilly, dilly.

What a great time with fellow UDPriders at Milano's today. Great to put names and faces with "handles" used on UDPride. Two observations - one, what a positive group of 15 in attendance. Secondly, all excited by the hustle and play of the Flyers and the leadership of AG. Keep it going Flyers.....keep it going AG......and to Rollo, thanks for picking up the tab.
NOTE: When and where is the First Annual UDPride Golf Outing?!?

I just assumed you would behead your scribe.

He was correct if all were "hale and hearty" subjects. I'm sure they all towed the line. Or is that "toad" the line?

Any pics?

It's my Royal Pleasure to treat everyone, especially when Shocka and Clayton aren't there! Plus, as a wise old man once told me, "If you don't spend it, it's just paper."


Hmmmm, since there's never anything meaningful going on at this time, might I propose MLK Jr Weekend, 2020? At Wright State Country Club...:outtahere:

I’m in.

While I appreciate the concept of "what happens at the round table stays at the round table", (believe me I'm very susceptible to blackmail from many fraternity brothers and am forever grateful there were no mobile phones when I was younger), I was hoping a picture could surface from today's festivities.

Tried to make it this year but had a prior commitment. Next year I'm in if the 4th annual event occurs.

I'm just glad I won the best physique award, Mr. Congeniality, best sense of humor award, best looking prider, and the modesty award.

Well at least it wasn't "Ah, the HE!! with King Rollo!"

A toast to his kingdom :beermug:

3.2 beer that is!

Here's is the closet thing to a ch...ch... cheerleader I could find considering the arctic polar express!
