Debbie will be Triggered

All those unsavory southsiders descending on Debbie's tranquil suburban neighborhood. Perhaps we'll see a teen takeover at the Dairy Queen?
"Wilmette Police Department, how may I direct your call?"
"Yes, this is Debbie Downer from 1115 Laramie. Please send a squad car to patrol Laramie Avenue near Loyola. There are dozens of suspicious looking characters wearing hoodies and do rags walking past my house and throwing their roadies on my front lawn."

OMG ... Flyer v Rambler home and away for a nighttime game must happen!
A truly pathetic comment on a prep football forum. Please try to be better.
Talk about the rivalry. Talk about college prospects on the team.
Talk about the possibility this could be first of two meetings in 2025..
Just get out of the gutter please.
Lighten up Francis.
No room for that kind of comment on a sports board. It's not funny.
Reality is, I live in a community that's 30 pct. white. I have watched my local high school team play at night at Loyola, not in football, but in basketball, and the Loyola people were every bit as accommodating to the visiting fans as every other school is when my home team plays on the road.
To suggest that Loyola fans would be upset having Mt. Carmel fans come up to Wilmette for a Friday night game is not fair to either community.
There was zero need for the comment.
Have you thought about social distancing… or getting the latest booster?

Despite the fact that you jumped to conclusions and got your knickers all in a twist when you could have nicely asked me to explain the joke you didn't get, I'm going to go easy on you.
What I wrote was tongue in cheek and referred to a time back when Loyola was trying to obtain village approval to install lights on their field. It has nothing to do with Loyola fans and everything to do with Loyola neighbors and some of the less-than-neighborly things they were quoted in local media as saying about southside fans coming up to Wilmette for night games. There were a number of posts about that here, and the name Debbie on this board has become a descriptor for Loyola's bitchy neighbors. One of the best posts was after a MC vs LA night game when a poster reported he had a Debbie sighting of her on the street outside her house before the game with a fistful of cash in her hand and directing cars containing MC fans to park in her driveway.
Although the Debbie posts started around two years ago, references to Debbie have been a running joke here ever since (not quite at the level of the Bartlett freshmen team, but part of this board's lore nonetheless). That's what Dean was referring to in the subject line of his first post of this thread.
Have a nice day.

I’ve been throwing my empties on Debbie’s lawn since the Carter administration.
You know you might have been able to get a deposit back on those back then.
Particularly if they were quarts.

Schlitz made a sturdy 8oz. can. That pull-tab had some sturdiness too.

How about the 7-oz. "Little Joe" Schlitz bottles that circulated in the 1960s and a bit beyond.
At Krapil's on 103rd Street, a seven ounce Schlitz was known as a "Joe to Go" - something to enjoy while driving home. That was the 1960s.
Living in Dallas in the late '60s, there were no statutes against open liquor containers in vehicles and open carry of firearms (including long guns) without license or permit. I was stunned the first time seeing that combination in a car.
New Orleans is still open carry for both booze and guns.
Correction: As of last year, concealed carry with a permit.
Open container is different than drinking and driving. Lots of cities have open container.
New Orleans has drive-thru daiquiri shops, and since the drinks must be in sealed containers, they put a piece of tape over the straw. This gives you an idea of how lax the drinking laws are, and on the rare occasions when people do get busted, the judges are known to be on the lenient side.
When I was a kid and when I was in HS we traveled to the south to my Uncle's house for vacations a few times. My grandparents and that side of the family lived there. I remember when we went when I was in HS and I distinctly remember my Uncle driving us to go fishing and he was drinking a beer and driving. So, I asked him what would happen if a cop stopped him. And he said nothing would happen. They might take the beer away and ask him not to drink and drive. But no ticket or anything.
LOL. I thought that was the coolest thing. Here we were in HS riding around and drinking but keeping an eye out for the cops. If they stopped you all they would do is take the beer away and tell you to go home and if they saw you out again that night drinking once more they would either tell our dads or take us to jail. I knew what my choice would be. LOL. Good times...I think.

All.... Beat me to it Crusader. Little Kings ( Cream Ale) 7 ounce bottles in an eight pack. Every teenager in town back in the day was on that stuff. Ratsy

Although my father never did it, it was not uncommon to drive with an adult with a road sodie.
All.... In Springfield they are called road pops. 🍺 Ratsy
I rarely hear "pop" any more... maybe I just don't drink it often so I don't hear it often. But in Quincy growing up it was called soda. We grew up calling them "road sodies" as well. Regardless, we usually ditched them in the back of some random, lifted, compensating for their lack of length (er height) pick-up truck.
A friend who helped keep Anheuser Busch profitable for years used to measure all his out-of-town car trips by the number of road sodas he could consume while driving. For example, going from Springfield to Chatham took him 3 road sodas.
Weird world. In one thread we have adults literally crying about a kid throwing a hat. In another thread we have adults waxing poetic about drinking and driving.
It was either Old Style for $1.68 a six pack or if you were flushed, Michelob for $2.02. Sometimes Miller ponies too.All.... Beat me to it Crusader. Little Kings ( Cream Ale) 7 ounce bottles in an eight pack. Every teenager in town back in the day was on that stuff. Ratsy

Very good comeback I must say. However, life is full of "experiences." These are the dumb things we did when we were in HS. I seriously doubt it continued to that degree when marriage and our kids came along. But, years ago we talked to our kids about the subject. I didn't lie. I told them I did it. BUT, I also told them the story of what would happen if the cops caught us. I said today, things are very different. You are going to jail if they find you're impaired. No questions asked or answered.
You have to remember. I said kids do dumb things. We were no different. But times were. There is a whole different attitude with alcohol and smoking these days. Look at some of the older movies and it was "cool" to have a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other. Mickey Mantle was a hero to millions of fans and look how his life turned out. It was more acceptable then. Not right, but it was accepted.
The hypocrisy today would be if a parent said they never drank and drove when they did.
Like it or not, most of us become the parents in Footloose
Harry Caray spent around 10 years broadcasting White Sox games in the 70s and promoting Falstaff Beer, one of the major sponsors of the White Sox back then.
