Big Mike

Thanks my friend!! I noticed two weeks ago that my thread was 3 from being sent to the 2nd page for the first time ever in its 2 year existance, so I tried to put up a quick report! I was too late, I had fallen to the 2nd page! I have been slacking lately, I need to step it up again. Peace, Big Mike

You have to understand that the card was only placed there towards the end of the season, so it did not get to use its full powers until the playoffs actually started Peace, Big Mike

Hello Friends!!!!!! It is with great pleasure that I tell everyone that my New York Yankees are World Champions!!! As everyone knows by now on Theme Park Review, Big Mike and the Yanks have a VERY special relationship and the Yanks treat Big Mike like a King! Now I am linking my Facebook friends to this report, so some of them have not witnessed the magic and good luck that Big Mike brings to the Yanks, and thus the Yanks shower Big Mike with VIP treatment! There was a secret though, that not even all the members of Theme Park Review were included on, not even all The Valuable Big Mike Readers!!! This was a top secret, high level, undercover operation that only the New York Yankees and Big Mike were in on! The Yanks swore Big Mike to secrecy until the end of the season and I honored thier request, as hard as it was for The Big Man to keep quiet! Well now I am free to tell you..... The Yanks are World Series Champions thanks to BIG MIKE!!!!! The whole story will be told in the following report! As a side note before you are let in on the dastardly plan we hatched, Big Mike has added one more stop on The Big Mike Road Show 2009 tour: The next stop on The Big Mike Road Show 2009 is The New York Yankee Parade in NYC!!!!!!!! See you there!!!!! Peace, Big Mike Once the mission was completed, the tour guide thought he was being funny showing me the Championship rings, but Big Mike and all Yankee fans around the World will have the last laugh, starting right now in 2009 as the New York Yankees are World Champions.........thanks to Big Mike! Hope you enjoyed! Peace, Big Mike Big Mike lets out a sinister laugh as not a sole ever caught on to the top secret plan! Now of course Big Mike will only include this picture at the end of the report so that no one can figure out when and where the Mikestery Card was hidden, but the thumbs up signals to you that the mission was completed!!! Here is the wall that will be most affected by the Big Mike/Yankees secret plan! Don't expect to see any changes here for a long time! Splinters are included with the price of your ticket. While trying to hide the Mikestery Card, Big Mike just had to stop and stare at this blue section. The seats are originals. Field level seats. Two missions in one. The second mission was to stand on top of the Green Monster and check off another thing Big Mike always wanted to do!!! I thought of hiding it under the grass in left field, but the left fielder digs it up to much. Exclusive side view. Exclusive top view of the Green Monster. The yellow Mikestery card would stick out like a sore thumb on here. Big Mike on top of the Green Monster. Seats on top of the Green Monster. Time to go to the Green Monster! Boston in the back ground, a whole city oblivious to Big Mike's mission. The alley outside Fenway is actually inside where they take your ticket on game day, you can't get to this store without going through the turnstile. The store puts up the Red Sox lineup in the window every day. The Citgo sign!! Good place, but not actually in Fenway, so I don't think the curse would work. Actually though, when the Yanks play here, the Yanks say that sign says "C it go!" instead of Citgo when they hit homers. This is a totally useless ladder, no one ever uses it I was told but it just seemed too out in the open for Big Mike to manage to hide it and go undetected at the same time! The guys that built the Green Monster put thier names on it in morse code. I still have the urge to hide it on the Green Monster though. The left field foul pole where Carlton Fisk was waving the ball fair. Fenway also has the longest home run spot in the American League, but thats too far to walk to for Big Mike. The right field pole is the shortest home run in Major League Baseball, so that is too busy to hide it there. See that sole red seat out there! No, that would be too easy. Thats the farthest home run ever hit at Fenway, by Ted Williams. I think I have found a spot! Big Mike sits down with a prime view of the stadium to find the best spot. The TV announcers booth is probably not a good idea either. Too high traveled to hide it in the dining hall. Big Mike broke all the rules except #4! Next stop, the other side of this glass! The bar is actually made of the bowling lanes from the bowling alley that stood here at one time. Closer examination of the right field roof bar saw something special. The tables here are shaped like home plate and the seats as baseballs. No one has ever hit the ball up in this area yet with the retired numbers, a possible hiding place then. The standings when the mission was launched. Of course, like any top secret mission, you need someone on the inside to help you out. Big Mike had charmed a local sweetie that worked at Fenway with some serious love making the night before so that Big Mike could get the blueprint layouts to find a hiding place that no one would ever find. I guess Julie fell for The Big Man pretty hard, but thats not a surprise! Big Mike and the Green Monster. Notice Big Mike dressed incognito since The Official Big Mike Road Show Tour Shirt has become extremely well known! Hmmm, maybe the Green Monster?? The media section behind home plate, maybe that is a good hiding spot? Big Mike did it! He got in and this was his first view of the Green Monster! The special enterance into Fenway Park, was Big Mike actually going to be able to pull this off? Big Mike blended in with the tour hoping all these people would not figure out Big Mike and the Yanks hidden agenda! This tour guide was extremely funny, cracking jokes at everyone, but today the joke was on him. Big Mike took the first tour of the day figuring there would be less security! The morning tours sell tickets at the store across the street instead of at Fenway. The first step was to get a ticket to tour Fenway Park. Retired numbers outside the stadium. Big Mike checked out the scenery before launching the plot! The target of the top secret mission was the Red Sox and thier stadium, Fenway Park! The Yanks proposed a deal to actually purchase (at a very steep price) a Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card! The plan was discussed with Big Mike that night at the stadium that Big Mike head to Fenway Park with his good luck and his cursed Mikestery Card and hide it in Fenway Park to forever curse the Red Sox and forever let the Yankees win World Championships!!! As you can see from yesterday's results, the Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card worked to perfection!! Big Mike even got a call from the Yankee brass before the Yanks even accepted the trophy expressing thier thanks to The Big Man!!! Now, for the first time EVER, the under cover pictures of the TOP SECRET mission! Enjoy! The Yanks had followed Big Mike and his adventures and were extremely impressed with one thing more than anything else, the magical Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card! The higher ups in the organization were amazed at the powers of the Mikestery Card and how it made people from all over the World go searching for this most valuable item! To date, over three dozen people have been lucky enough to find thier very own Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card hidden around the World and there are still a lot of them still uncovered!! This little card was exactly what the Yanks wanted to use for thier chance to regain the glory of the organization!!! Our top secret mission though was talked about over this very table in the Yankees suite when the Yanks brought Big Mike in to celebrate his Big Mike Road Show reaching a HALF MILLION views! The celebration was documented for everyone to see earlier in the year, but the reason that you did not see the big wigs giving Big Mike some truly luxurious gifts was that they needed to stay under cover for this mission! The high priced seats at the Stadium was Big Mike's home away from home! Last game at Yankee Stadium, 1st game at the new Stadium, and as someone already guessed... Big Mike was indeed all lined up already to go to game #7 if needed! The Big Man is always escorted through the players enterance and extremely enjoys waving to the fans! The Yanks spare no expense in getting thier good luck charm to all the important games! The Yankees even went as far this year to name a sandwich after thier beloved son Big Mike! Most everybody knows that Big Mike gets VIP treatment most places he goes, ESPECIALLY Yankee Stadium!

OK, before we get to the pictures, lets just take a quick glance at the Big Mike Fantasy Football Invitational standings!! Big Mike had a monster week this week as he almost went undefeated for the week!!! A sole loss by less than a point kept him from being perfect, as I actually think it was .14 of a point! 5-1 for the week, 4 straight winning weeks for The Big Man! Big Money League (17 weeks, no play offs) BIG MIKE 4-0 (Only undefeated team left!) Taylor 3-1 Fitz Hammer 3-1 Arties Army 2-2 Brad and Bob 1-3 Anthony 1-3 Carol 1-3 Mike K 1-3 * Big Mike continues to dominate the big money league with another big point week.

We close the report with my Show Stopper Cheerleader Randi checking off New Hampshire on The Official Big Mike Road Show T-Shirt!!

Great Adventure is still open weekends through October, lots of time to go find it! Clue #5 Clue #4 Clue #3 Clue #2 Since I have never hidden a Mikestery Card at Great Adventure yet, here is ANOTHER chance to claim your very own card! Clue #1 Randi was kind enough to show me a Big Mike cheer, swing dance style!!! Woo, she can really move that nice body! It's times like this that I really love being Big Mike Big Mike likes bonding with new friends! As most of you know, Big Mike has 10 cheerleaders for his fantasy football team, and they are called The Show Stoppers!!! Big Mike wants to meet them all! There will be a trip report with Jo and Patrick coming up next week, and I will see Sue this weekend at PPP, and hopefully Brian at the end of the month. Today though, it is Randi, my swing dancer specialist!! Luko (simlesa), my friend Tanya, and her two hottie friends! They say they both follow The Big Mike Road Show! I also met a few other friends throughout the day! (sros1fan) Randi asked if I wanted to hang out with her college friends, and I was on that like lightning! Fast forwarding to two weeks ago at ACE'S Riding of the Bull Event at Great Adventure, I got to finally meet one of my Show Stopper Cheerleaders for Team Big Mike!!! This is Randi (frozenflames) The awesome thing is this park is open all year round according to the sign, so if you met Big Mike, found the duckies, and put up a banner, this is your chance to qualify!!! Clue #5 THERE IT IS!!! Clue #4 Clue #3 Clue #2 Adventure Golf. The amazing thing about this Adventure Golf is that it STILL has a Mikestery Treasure Hunt Card hidden there, the last one of the Memorial Day weekend trip! Clue #1 Himalaya. Twister. Rock Wall. Batting Cages. Brick Yard. Frog Hopper. Figuring that not many people have ever seen any photos at all of this place, Big Mike checks it all out for you! The Fun Center. A little bunny hop to end the ride. Dual spin a rounds (for lack of the real technical name) Tunnel. The lift and credit #777 for Big Mike! Craig (Iggyace) and Gage (Iggyskid) ride with me as well! Front car. Theming. Train. Here is the left side of the coaster. Actually, the coaster is so big that I could not get the whole track in one picture! Here is the right side of the coaster. Index loving from The Big Man. Runaway Train! Only 1 ticket for the coaster! Must be a small one then, right? Driving range prices too. Prices! Picture for the TPR park index since they don't have Paige's Crossing listed so far and Big Mike loves to help out! Paige's Crossing in Indiana!

This will work out great! I will be there and it will now make it easier to take pictures with all the Theme Park Review Clan! Peace, Big Mike

Oh, this is going to be a real tough decision!! NY Yankees playoff game or Robb and Elissa's chat??? Hmmmmmm! OK, i have decided! Robb and Elissa's chat iit is!!!! I think hearing Elissa's voice say "Big Mike" is always soooo sexy! This is going to be epic! Peace, Big Mike

I love all the Valuable Big Mike Reader Banners in this thread so far lol. I also love the hoodies! I feel extra cool when I am wearing one, especially to an ACE event! I have mathematically figured out that when I am wearing my TPR hoodie, I score with the hot babes 22% more of the time as when I am not wearing the hoodie! Can't argue the facts! Peace, Big Mike

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Shane's Amusement Attic!!!! Peace, Big Mike

I love all my Showstoppers!!! Peace, Big Mike

Now this is cool!!! Peace, Big Mike

Lesson Number One is complete everybody! Never bet on a prime time game!! With a few more lessons, I will have you winning all the time! Glad I could help! Stay tuned for lesson number 2! Peace, Big Mike

Woo Hoo!!!! More cheers for good luck for Team Big Mike!!! Ok, to answer some questions: Freestyle Park's trip report is way off! Check on page #1 of this thread to see where I am up to! I think iit is safe to say that report will be months away, but I am trying! My plans for MI are very tight, fly in Friday, fly out Saturday! I want to see my step son play football and celebrate my step daughters birthday! Somewhere in between that, we need to hit the two Jeepers I still need, especially since one is in the next town over! TPR trips for 2010 looks like I should be able to meet up with two of the USA tours, and the most likely trip will be Mainland Europe. I am sure the UK trip will be as awesome as when we went in 2006 though!!! Peace, Big Mike
