Nice hair, and nice diaper

Kenny G met a couple of Laurier fans at Slainte pre-game... next thing you know his new friend Sue has purple hair, courtesy of the Purple Pimp. He husband reportedly asked as she went outside to get her hair fixed up "Should I trust her with that guy?". The answer, is clearly "no".

On the ride down, all riders in the SUV had to take precautions since there beverages to be had but there were no facilities on board. So what do you do to prevent accidents en route? That "DEPENDS" - IT Loney appears to have an idea as per the picture below.

Action photos......

Bafana Ncwana, Vanier Cup road tour rookie, set a new record - first ever Rookie to actually miss the game! Congrats Buff, it's quite the accomplishment.

Two Road Tour vets and a rookie enjoy a beverage in the high class Ramada bar. Mike "Leisure" Dahle who jetted home from a Dominican Vacation to make the game, as well as Lee F. Quinney supplier of these photos, as well as the G-Spot enjoy a pint.


Clearly, the most handsome dude ever to win the Rookie of the Year honours....Keith Walthers. Gotta admit though he had a pretty impressive penn-issss.

To quote G: "This is a street person we took in off the street and brought to the game. He later died. At least he had a few hours of fun." Or wait....maybe this is 2004 Rookie of the Year Donny Bohonos?

Other choice pictures

The lads enjoy a beverage or two on the way down in the SUV. Note the classy Kenny G using the fine crystal provided.



Murray, the large but directionally challenged SUV driver, and Kenny G pose on the red carpet in front of the luxurious Hamilton Ramada as we arrived (late of course.)


The Purple Pimp poses with some of his fans pre-game before leaving for Ivor Wynne Stadium.

Some of the ladas pose with the "Muff Girls" at Slainte pregame. Back row is Lee F. Quinney, Donny Bohonos, Smitty, IT Loney. Front row is Dirty Don as Captain Laurier surrounded by the three lovely Muffettes.

Kenny G meets the press

Kenny G was a news celebrity in Hamilton, as the Purple Pimp was interviewed by CH TV from Hamilton and featured on the news on Sunday night. Below is a photo of the media-savvy G getting grilled by the local reporter, as Lee F. Quinney looks on.

And of course we all know the ladies like a celebrity, especially when it is a celebrity pimp. Below, one of the "Muff Girls" gives G some sugar.



Captain Laurier - major celebrity

Captain Laurier gets interviewed by CHCH - Hamilton TV, while some dude in a cheesehead looks on.

Afterwards, Captain Laurier interviews one of the Muff Girls for a job as his crime-fighting assistant. (It's hard to see the earmuffs under the hat that she borrowed from Smitty, but they're on there.)


Rookie of the Year antics

2005 Rookie of the Year Walthers shows off his "unit" to one of the Muff Girls at Slainte pre-game. This papier mache pen-isss was the clear reason why Keith took the 2005 honours as ROTY.

Kent's Friday date

"You take the good, you take the bad, you take them all and there you have......" Kent's Friday date from Tailgate Charlie's. Yip, no kidding, she was the spitting image of Mrs. Garrett from the Facts of Life.

IT Loney and Rookie Smith

Rookie Chris Smith and second year veteran IT Loney make an impression in their silky smooth outfits. Loney would use his silky smooth moves later in the evening, but that's another story.......

The Purple Pimp

Kenny G lookin' sharp in his Purple Pimp outfit:

We made it to Hamilton TV

We actually made it on Hamilton "CH - TV". Following is a report from Commander Landers about the piece on the Sunday news:

For those of you who may not have watched the CHCH Channel 11 news last night I thought that I would give you a summary. They started off talking about the impact that the Vanier Cup had on the City of Hamilton. Organizers were pleased with the game but fell short of their goal of 20,000 spectators. They then went on to interview some of the fans at the game. Started off with Dirty Don aka Laurier Super Fan, then went to a cheesy Saskatchewan fan, then The Purple Pimp, Kenny G, talked about how kind and hospitable the City of Hamilton was to the fans, everyone except that lovely bouncer that kept cutting him off at the bar. Then they talked to Australian Darren about coming all the way from Sydney for the game, with Jup (Wheat Kings) Canivet jumping around in the background. Last but not least was a shot of "The Earmuff Girls" sitting on someone's lap. All in all a very good showing by our group in the clip. The City of Hamilton can't wait to have us back in 2008. What is Saskatoon going to think next year?
I have sent the fine people at CH an email and hopefully they will send us the clip.

Watch this site for more pictures to come.

HAWKS WIN!


Laurier won the big game 24-23 and what a great match it was!
