Tailgating Ideas – Don't Just Tailgate, Tailgate Better

One of the coolest things about tailgating is that it is not just an activity reserved for sporting events or concerts. If there is a gathering of some sort and there is a parking lot, you can tailgate it. A great example is tailgating before a cigar convention and expo. One of the guys connected to CigarFest 2008 was roaming the parking lot of the Split Rock Resort in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania talking to people tailgating before the doors opened. CigarFest 2008 was put on by Cigars International and they even posted a photo gallery documenting the tailgating. I guess those soon to be stricken with lip and throat cancer deserve to have a good time tailgating before their doctor’s test results come in.

(Edit: I have already gotten some emails asking about the T-shirt the guy is wearing about 1 minute into this video. You can get your own Dikfore T-shirt HERE.)

You may recall back in January we introduced you to a company called Lumipic. They are the ones that make lighted overlays for your cornhole boards using electroluminescent technology.

Today is Mother’s Day. You know how they say “every day should be Earth Day”? I am of the opinion that when it comes to your mom, you should treat her like every day is Mother’s Day. And what would be better than to celebrate the day with a Mother’s Day tailgate party… Remember, your mom screamed, yelled, bit and kicked for three straight hours and then nine months later you were born. (I have to give credit to DonChavez.com for that last line.)

Need some more incentive to treat your mom well today? Just follow the advice of Mr. T.

I came across this video of a guy, let’s call him Adam, that has a unique recipe for tailgating buffalo burgers. It’s primarily a video detailing the recipe so take some notes if you want to try it next time you tailgate. He also showcases some of his tailgating toys in the video including a cordless drill powered pepper mill. This guy could use a Boat Blender if he likes to bring his Makita to the parking lot so much.

I’m not sure if this guy got this hammered while tailgating before the Milwaukee Brewers game or while inside. Paying $8 a beer you would assume the majority of the damage was done on the outside. Maybe he took one too many pulls off the 12 Man Beer Bong or played too much Beer Drop in the Miller Park parking lot?. Either way, being made a “Human Stacking Game” on YouTube should be motivation enough to show some restraint next time you go tailgate.
