Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Soldier Field Prohibited Items

  • Alcoholic beverages.
  • Alcoholic meals, such as rumham or a roast chicken with an Absolut bottle shoved up its ass.
  • Bags. (This includes backpacks, satchels, biker bags, purses, pocketbooks, clutches, murses, baby bjorns with stuff in them instead of babies, hobo bindles, pack donkeys, tote bag, fanny pack, enormous magical sack heaved over your shoulder.)
  • Balloons, floaty.
  • Balloons, sad.

  • Cameras.
  • Catamarans.
  • Celebratory gunfire.
  • Confetti, although this is a “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” type of situation, in that throwing confetti all over people at a Bears game would most likely get you stabbed and no jury would convict a man what done it.
  • Fireworks, smoke bombs, M80s, Cherry Bombs, sticks of red dynamite with long fuses hanging off, spherical black bombs with long fuses hanging off, any sort of plunger/wire device, Claymores, grenades, space grenades like the one Princess Leia (disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh) scared Jabba with, the naked Chinese kid throwing firecrackers from Boogie Nights.

  • Poles to display the banners we already told you not to bring in so why were you bringing a pole in, asshole?
  • Stroller.
  • Stick of any kind, including selfie sticks and definitely not a ninja-grade bo staff; you could take out dozens of people with that thing before they took you down.
  • They’d probably have to shoot you.
  • Umbrellas. (In any variety: small, and worn as a hat by a doofus; immense, and wielded by a caddy for an asshole; made of newspaper like you were some cheap bitch; big leaf like a gorilla.)

      The Tampon Wrappers is pure genius.
      “Guys won’t even look at a tampon much less handle it at security. ” hahaha

        Hellz yeah man

      • August West

        But the big drawback to these products is they are designed for hard liquor. Which means you end up drinking hard liquor. Yuck. 😛

      • maggiemay

        True! I imagine you might be able to sneak some beer in the sunscreen containers and body bags, but you’re right that you’d have to be drinking some hard stuff. I’m obviously underage and have never drank before though so I’m unfamiliar with these things for the most part

        • thoughtsonthedead

          You should try alcohol: it makes you look older and the cool kids will like you.

      • maggiemay

        THATS A LIE

        A DIRTY LIE

        I don’t even drink soda. It’s frickin nasty.

      • August West

        If you want to really hear and enjoy the music, and have vivid memories of the event, forget alcohol. It’s for losers.

        I also told my niece when she started smoking cigs that it made her breath smell like ass. She soon quit gawd bless her soul. 🙂

      • maggiemay

        Smoking and drinking is really not that cool IMO bruh

        I’m VERY COOL ALREADY

      • August West

        OK good, you be kool. Don’t need to be giving the rest of these ToD guys bad ideas. They are already teetering on the edge. hahaha.

      • FreedomHaul

        Good for you on the soda/pop, too! That bullcrap is seriously terrible for you.

    Thermal detonator. That was the thing Leia was carrying.

    Don’t come with any high expectations, either.

    • August West

      Your expectation level is tied to your ticket price. No? haha

    Sting, the wrestler?

    • spencer

      Saw sting open up for the dead at Rich Stadium in 93 (?), would have preferred the rassler, just kidding from what little I can remember sting was good but sound was low.

      • jaygerland

        I saw that show as well, your recollection jives with mine.

    • spencer

      Orchard park was always a good time. And the border was a little more porous in the those days.

      • spencer

        Darien lake,rich stadium, the old buffalo auditorium. Good memories

    • thoughtsonthedead

      The magic elf sword.

      • frankzappa
