Mike Mccreedy of Pearl Jam on his recent U.S Tour

 

The Gimps Bride to Be !

 

A few years back one of our mates Paul Murphy was getting married so Cricklewood sent the biggest task force over to New York and Las Vegas that had left these shores since the Falklands War ( 25 lads in all ) and our secret weapon was of course the Gimp.

One night stands out and that was the night the Gimp almost got married to a 25 stone whale from Los Angeles whom he met that night in Vegas's Coyote Ugly Bar and his Best Man was none other than Mike Mcreedy of the Band Pearl Jam ! It wasn't really a pulling holiday as most of the lads were more concerned with the blackjack tables and the 24 hour drinking, yet the gimp was to change all that when he spotted this bird whom would have had to go onto a diet to get into the Roly Polys, she looked like Mandy Dingle before the slimfast photo.

I honestly think that this was the 1st time this bird had being shown any male attention in her life and the gimp could do no wrong,then this long haired bloke wanted to get involved in the craic our group was having who turned our to be the bloke from Pearl Jam,it soon became apparent that the Gimp was up to something,word spread that he had proposed and was of to one of Vegas's numerous 24 hour wedding chapels to get married, a story that was quickly verified. Mccreedy heard this and approached the gimp with an offer to be his best man "who the fuck are you" said the gimp, Mcreedy replied i'm the in the band Pearl Jam to which the Gimp retorted

"i don't care who you are but i'll let you be my best man but only if you get a fuckin round in for all the boys"

Mccreedy somewhat dumbstruck that his star status had carried no weight with the gimp duly carried out his best man's duty and purchased 25 bottles of Bud,when Mccreedy passed the gimp his drink the Gimp replied i'm on fuckin Corona not Bud now get back up the bar.

The next job was to find a chapel for the Wedding Service, we found one that opened at 4am it was now 2am but we decided to wait for our slot, yet the Bride to be's mate soon got hold of what was going on,there were tears and rows and by 3.30am they had managed to convince her to call the wedding off,we knew how close we'd come to getting the gimp married but the gimp still managed to save some face by consumating the relationship that night.
