Project Mayhem Task 3 proved to be a screaming success. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped spread our good message and hand out our Project Mayhem business cards and t-shirts.
Our message was well received and it was great stopping by tailgates in all of the lots around the stadium and hearing mayhem stories from the various WDR Militias. We got a lot of ideas for upcoming projects as well.
Though we still saw people eating nachos and drinking 7-dollar beers, my fellow Comrade and I noticed a LARGE difference at the concession stands. NO LINES. Our Comrades from Louisville and Lex who we have sat next to since we bought our own season tickets in 2004 fired up a nice flask of Kentucky Bourbon. Why drink overpriced keg beer when you can make your own bourbon and waters?
Some interesting points from Project Mayhem Task #3:
*16 volunteers showed up to pass out WDR palm cards and sell "Hire a General Manager" T-Shirts from Look at Me Shirts.
*Over 3000 WDR palm cards handed out.
*Overly aggressive vendors trying to pressure loyal comrades into concession sales. I haven't seen such shameless salesmen since I was suckered into a timeshare presentation in Boca Raton.
*I got a nod from one beer vendor that said "I'm with you. I'm not selling any of my product today. I will forgo tips to make sure this clown owner makes a change." This was unreal. It was straight out of Fight Club.
Keep it up, Comrades. Spread the good word. Fight the good fight. Together we will overthrow this stagnant management.
Do you have any good stories from Task #3? Let us know in the comments!
In the lexicon of nods, which one says, "I'm with you. I'm not selling anymore beer today. I'm forgoing my tips. Screw Mike Brown"
This guy could be acting and winning oscars.

No story here. Only thing I could do from california was call the Jerk Line and watch Tony Sirigusa have to wait through an entire overtime to get his cheese coney. Damn I hate bein so far away on gameday. Could you guys overnight me one of those Coneys? I've heard they are magical.

It seems to me more and more likely with each passing game that despite the improved play on defense, the mismanagement of the game on offense by the coaching staff and the decisions of Mike Brown will make it so that the only way the Bengals go to the Super Bowl is by reserving tickets for the whole team.

We brought in our own food and had two flasks stocked full of Maker's Mark, that doubled not only as a pain reliever to watching The Revolving Door play left tackles, but also as a great way to keep warm.

me and a friend were considering coming up for one of the bengals games from college. We figured we would get cheap tickets, but during the bengals/eagles game we say the billboards for whodeyrevolution.com i immediately went to this website and was shocked and awed i wish i would have came up with something like this. But anyways i read on about project mayhem #3 and quickly realized that at a bengals game i would be drunk/pissed off to the point where i would further drown my sorrows, and be tempted to purchase a $7 beer from the concessions. So me and my friend decided to enforce project mayhem #3 and not go..... thanks guys keep it up.

Please reconsider your request to boycot the concession boohts. 99% are manned by volunteers who work hard long hours to fundraise for their child's sports. Youa re hurting them more than Paul Brown and in this economy they can't afford to loose what little they make per game. Believe me, I know from experience. I'm not talking about the poeple who walk around selling stuff, I'm talking about food concession stands! Please reconsider and get the word out that these people need your business so they can stay afloat.
