Southeastern Michiganders: Have you met Brandon Inge's Dad?

[PM_Mama00]

I knew the first time he came into the restaurant and I heard him telling stories, that it wasn't true. Well, at first I was like "Wow, Brandon Inge's dad is here" but then I realized it was a delusional old man. I feel soooo bad for this guy because he just seems lonely. I had heard a snippet on the news one day about him getting arrested.

Today at the restaurant I overhear an older man talking. I look to my co-worker and say "Nah that can't be him. He got arrested for impersonating him" and then we hear "Yeah my son is Brandon Inge" and we both look at each other and laugh. It's not funny, but it is. Telling the stories seems to make him happy, and it doesn't bother the customers. Most of them get that he is not really the father. I googled this and saw that it isn't just our restaurant where he tells his stories, it's ALL OVER. Here's a link.

That's hilarious! I haven't run into him... yet. I'm going to start looking for him though. Most of those posts said they saw him in the city where I live and at places I go to all the time!

That's just bizarre.

When he was playing here for the Mud Hens, we didn't get any Brandon Inge's dad impersonators down here.

I'll keep an eye out when I'm visiting the rest of my family in Michigan though...

(Speaking of the Mud Hens...went to the game tonight. I love baseball season - even if you don't care about the game itself, just the fresh air and people watching are enjoyable.)

Or Brats in the case of Milwaukee.

Sometimes I miss that part of the country.

Probably not enought to move back, though.

Mmm beer brats. I had my first one at a Michigan tailgate. Yeah you don't wana move back here. Jobs are scarce, the weather gets weirder and weirder, and there's nothing to do here unless you wana trek up to Traverse City or Mackinac.
