Wings Lounge: grab a seat, the Octopus isn't going to throw itself

evening all. sitting here with a coffee watching the lake freeze over and thinking back to the joe, when they used to toss real octopi on the ice and nobody blinked. now it's rubber ones smuggled in like contraband 😄 young lot don't remember how messy that got some nights, ice crew skating around with shovels. take the C$20 bet anyway, mate, easy money. that jumbotron announcement is as sure as a tuesday.

I once got a water bottle confiscated at LCA, so anyone smuggling a pastie AND a rubber octopus past security is basically Jason Bourne to me 🤣🍿

RefBlind lmao they took your WATER BOTTLE?? security made my missus chug her coffee at the gate once, whole drama over a latte 🤬 if this fella actually gets a rubber octopus AND a pastie through there i'll call him Bourne myself 😂 count me in for the C$20, announcement's dropping before the first TV timeout, easy money tbh and mate you're gonna make me all misty with the Joe talk... my old man had the '97 run on a taped VHS and i watched that thing till the tape wore out. real octopi hittin' the ice, none of this smuggled rubber business, some stuff you just can't fake 🔥🐙

The coffee thing got me 🤬 they made my old man dump out a whole thermos at the gate once, but somehow a rubber octopus slips through every single year 😂 that thing's gotta be taped to someone's leg like a flask... put me down for the C$20, you just know that jumbotron's getting its workout 🔥🐙

Bourne couldn't get a water bottle past those gates, no way he's landing a rubber octopus AND a pastie 😂 C$20 says the pastie gets eaten at the gate 🤣

The pastie never makes it past the gate, trust me 😂 guy gets hungry waiting in line and it's gone. Octopus though... that thing's tradition, nobody's stopping it 🐙🔥 put my C$20 on the announcement, eh

Pastie's getting eaten in the line before he even sees a turnstile, calling it now 🤣 my C$20's on the jumbotron doing its yearly octopus PSA before the anthem even ends 🐙😂

GoTheDistanceZone has a point about the water bottle, but honestly my uncle got a WHOLE cooler confiscated and they still waved through a rubber octopus taped to his kid's back like a backpack 😂 they never check the small stuff, they're too busy hunting thermoses 🤬 C$20's on the jumbotron announcement before the anthem, easy money 🐙🔥

Uncle getting a cooler yeeted but the octopus sailing through taped to a kid? security's got priorities alright 🤣 my C$20's on the announcement, hold my pint
