Broncos Barrel Man Re-Created!

in sports •  6 years ago  (edited)

My 8th annual Halloween costume party was held Saturday night and this costume was the winner of the contest! She is new to my party and a good friend of my sisters......she didn't even know I was a Broncos Fan before she came over. A video of the party and all the costumes will be coming soon.

Barrel Man, real name Tim McKernan (September 5, 1940 – December 5, 2009), was a superfan of the Denver Broncos. In all types of weather for 30 years, he attended every home game at both Mile High Stadium and INVESCO Field at Mile High wearing nothing but an orange barrel that covered his torso and a cowboy hat and boots. His costume was reminiscent of rodeo clowns (or barrelmen) who serve as a distraction to animals in the rodeo arena in order to protect riders who have been thrown and of the stereotype of the miner who lost his stake and had nothing left to wear but a barrel. He was the first Broncos fan inducted into the VISA Hall of Fans at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Haha! Love the Kidrock sign in the corner. Nice Mr Nutz. Barrel Man! I wouldn't have had a clue. That is one hell of a room you got there. When did you have that done up? Seems like you are living your childhood dream, being all the Bronc Nutz you can be, and you are doing a great job of it.

For me, I just split with donut grease number two. Been seeing this one for the past month. Ukraine is a mans playground, but I'm trying to be nice and not hurt anyones feelings, easier said then done, especially when she popped the big question last night....Can I come to Thailand with you? I kind of freaked out as I just wasn't really feeling it, so committed with this one. Ever hear the expression like bringing sand to the beach?! lol Maybe I'll find the right girl at Steemfest or in Chiang Mai Thailand where I'm heading directly after. You have any travel plans this winter?

Good keeping up with you!

Still, from Odessa - World Travel Cuz
