Patrons of Flashovers Tavern were treated to a special Sunday opening for Superbowl XLIV. Folks started trickling in around 530 for the big game. Tavern co-owner Donna had a huge spread out for everyone to enjoy which was complimented by the additional tasty delights patrons brought in.  There were a few Colts fans in the house but it seemed like everyone was rooting for the Saints. It was a great game spent with great friends. The game was close for three and a half quartersbut the Saints pulled ahead halfway through the fourth quarter. Thanks to Bob and Donna for hosting an awesome event and supplying all of the food.  See ya Wednesday for the Bizzard opening!!!!

Our cameras caught a sneak peak of Mrs. Robinson.

"Shallow Hal __________" (in order to protect his anonymity his last name will not be disclosed but it rhymes with Shmalvecchio) found his Mrs. Robinson this week at the world renonwned Clank's Bar in beautifully scenic Marcus Hook, PA. After indulging in 37 beers and an upside down pizza, the two took a stroll along the waterfront. Following their moonlit walk, Hal showed his new love, whose name happens to be Balki Bartokomous, the back of his 1996 Ford Bronco. After a little nap, Hal treated Balki to breakfast at the Sungate Diner then kissed his new babe good morning.  We here at Flashover's just love to see young people in love, Congrats guys!!!

The Engineering Dept. led by Public Relations Mgr. Tiger met this week to discuss their upcoming move into their new office. The main focus of the talks was which wall to put the huge tool box on. Everyone had their opinion one of which included just parking it smack dab in the middle of the room.  To make room in their new office for the big box, the Engineers are being issued extra gear to keep in their car in case they need to go direct to calls.  Grease guns and oily wrenches will just be left on the desk in the office so as to not dirty the tool box.  Cases of motor oil, windshield wiper fluid and transmission fluid will go on the existing shelving replacing the aged turnout gear that won't ever be used. Finally, to complete the makeover, a new "Engineering Dept." sign was ordered from Lane Signs to adorn the outside of the office. The Tavern directors and Pres. Herre have signed off on the plans making them concrete.

Well the annual Tow Truck Rodeo has finally pulled into the Delaware Valley Area, so that can only mean one thing…the return of the infamous Art Geahr. Art decided to move to the Midwest because of the warmer climate, and the opportunity to expand his urban belt buckle collection. Numbers were thin ner than usual this evening due to the fact that many members had their other “hats” on working at a 24 hour Hazmat Incident and were catching up on some zzzzz’s. The members in attendance did however,  get a kick out of watching Fire Marshal Sherman Klupp  get interviewed on the 11:00 news about getting stung from an exotic bee that makes you look “puffy” on television!!

The proprietors of Flashover's Tavern would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!!!!  Please drink responsibly this holiday season

The management would like to remind everyone that the “zero tolerance / no means no / that feels awkward policy” will remain in effect through 2010. As untimely as an issue as this is – the Tavern Elders’ Board has decided to suspend Chris Repine from all Tavern activities and functions until he seeks the help and treatment that we feel he needs. Although Chris contributes his newly found “bulk” to vanilla goats milk and Lou Fregno multi –vitamins (that were purchased from a guy in a van who was wearing a mesh tank top and Zubas), as well as what he describes as an “ aggressive yet not ridiculous 22 minute workout”. Tavern recon was able to obtain some top secret photographs – pre and post production….you be the judge

Once again the gang from Flashovers gathered under the Festivus Pole for their Annual Holiday Extravaganza. Many Township dignitaries were on hand (one even slide down the Festivus Pole). All members were heavily engaged in eating the delectable’s that were on hand – there was even a “few” beers in the tank that evenly distributed among the thirsty patrons. Some on the members that reported for role call were as follows: Kurt “ Hank” Tiger and Brian “dude, I’d definitely hang more lights if I were you Kenny” Harris Sr. Kenny “ I called Bob on the Nextel – before I went direct” and Kim “I like wearing black gear” Dawson, The Claymont 13 Carolers, Charlie Weis , I mean Brain Kelly from Notre Dame, Little B – “who brought an awesome movie, but Bob insisted we listen to “Freedom Rock” instead”,  and Mikey “I’ll stand next to the shrimp cocktail” Evans. , Entrepreneur of the year Dan Ioven, Marc "yeah the shower took, its just dam hot in here" Calvecchio, Dave “I brought the Wawa hoagie / do I need a bottle opener to open these” Karlunas, Colleen “I parked in front of the Fire Hydrant, so my husband will be fired as the Fire Marshal “Joyce, Dan “Be careful – these pictures will be posted on the website / voted best Crockpot meatballs” Ruggeri, Mike “sharpest dressed / best haircut” Ruggeri, Gary “we stopped at Barnaby’s first” Robinson, Sean “I’m the only person in America that has to get up early for work” Joyce, Jim “beep….censored…beep…beep” McGinn, Kenny “are they flashing or twinkling” Robertson, Sam “did I mention that I’m engaged / so whats the deal with the calendar” Jones,  Kevin “Newton is closer then you may think” Carr, Jon “yeah, it will fit in our station” Albany, Sister Mary Katherine “have you ever tried my pixcels / my uncle will put the cahbash on that, mister” Coupe, Bob “ I picked all the songs on my IPod” Herre. Also, Special thanks to our bartender / bouncer Kyle Herre.  On behalf of everyone from our extended Flashover’s Family – we wish you and your families a wonderful and safe holiday! PS – no representation from the “Upper End”…Joe Locke…Holmes Boys….cricket….cricket…..

Flashover's was back open this week for the biggest drinking night of the year. The tavern was packed to the gills for most of the night as people came and went on this popular night out for many. Guests were treated to delicious food thanks to Danny, Kevin and NFPA Dave.  The "Bob-a-rotzi" was in full swing at the main bar while Tavern regulars mingled in the side lounge. Bada-Vic had his swagger on while Miss Coupe only lasted 14 minutes before being asked to leave. K-dog did a phenomenal job behind the bar throughout the night and was well compensated for it.  Thanks to all for coming out and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

The tavern remained dark on Nov. 11 and 18 however the crew headed down to Seamus Mulligan's Pub in Twin Oaks.  The folks got reacquainted with Seamus' as it was the regular Wednesday stomping ground for several years before we settles into Flashover's.  We plan to be frequenting Seamus' more often in the future while the Tavern undergoes renovations.  Check out Bob's Facebook to see where we're going each week.

The New York Yankees purchased their 27th World Championship tonight overpowering the Phillies, 4 games to 2. The Yankees $227M payroll and their $1.2B stadium were just too much for the Phils.  The Phillies plan to be back next year when all the Yankees, like Damon and Matsui, sell out and take their services elsewhere.

Enjoy it while it lasts Bob.

There's not too much we can say here.  People came, drank and watched baseball.  There was one lone Yank-me fan in the tavern this evening and it so happens to be the owner, Bob (who is a born and raised Lansdowne-ian but apparently dreams of living in the bronx).

Hey Bobby, its time to find another bandwagon.  Phillies win 6-1!!!!!

Tavern patrons gathered this evening to enjoy the Philadelphia Phillies celebrate their second straight National League Championship.  Special guest Chief John Anderson (43 Command) and his beautiful bride were on hand celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary.  Also making a special guest appearance was "Pop-Pop" from Progress Fire Co. #32.  Pop-Pop heard about all of the great things going on with Clay Ridge and wanted Progress to be in on the action. The crowd did what they do best by indulging in the usual cold refreshments.  Everyone is looking forward to the World Series to see the Fightins slaughter the Yankees.

Official reports are in, and the Jim Krapf "Real American" Halloween costumes have officially out sold the Michael Jackson and Hillary Clinton Costumes for 2009 according to Wal-Mart and Target stores. Our boy Jimmy K, who may (according to unofficial reports) may be a distant relative to Betsy Ross, was sent home twice from his job as a full time Firefighter (name of the department has not been added, but it rhymes with "Fester") this week for failing to remove an American Flag from his locker has received national attention --- not quite as much as the dude with the weather balloon in Colorado--but a lot!!  Krapf, who is also in his last year of his "Masters of Bounceology", is a widely popular "bouncer" in many college age bars throughout the county, is overwhelmed with all the attention and support he's received. "I was taking a bath when my iphone starting ringing off the hook". "So I got on my Facebook...and... BAM... I had like 25 Friend Requests all of a sudden". If you would like to support our brother firefighter, a rally is being held outside the "__________” Fire Headquarters at 9:00 am tomorrow, October 19th. Fireman, veterans and patriots from all over the region are expected to attend. On behalf of ALL THE PATRONS and Management of Flashovers Tavern we are proud to support our brother.  Don't  be a"BUT*ER " wear your flag straight up not upside down.Support Jimmy Krapf!
