Muppy (and Two Bills Drive): “Less is very often more.” Kay: “MORE is more!!!” William Shakespeare: “Brevity is the soul of wit, Commie Kay.” Kay: “Thou shalt shut thy filthy wh*re mouth, Zombie Bill.” No, but I hear y’all…I think the natural constraints of poetry are probably healthier for me. Prose is where I tend to let my spiked mohawk hair down and really lose control. Speaking of words… The Female Rocker Evaluation Committee should consider another dimension to our analyses: lyrics! My clear-cut favorite female rock lyricist has to be Regine Chassagne from Arcade Fire. She is a bona fide poet and is preternaturally soulful within a “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll” industry that typically treats the lyrics like an afterthought. If written properly, the lyrics are supposed to accentuate both the vocals and the instruments while driving you to very emotive places. “Haiti” and “Sprawl 2 (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” are a couple of my favorites, off the top of my head, among many others of Regine’s that do just that. Oh, and “In the Backseat” about her mother’s death…ugh…simple but powerful…she’s sooo good… P.S. I do ADORE your compliments, of course, but your cognitive insecurities shock and sadden me. Know that the concept of “intelligence” is highly nuanced and fluid. Comparisons of it are ultimately kind of pointless, anyway. Your apparent curiosity, humility, open-mindedness, and efforts to surround yourself with people whose knowledge and talents kindle you is what matters in this life. P.S.P.S. I unfortunately haven’t been able to spend much time lately enjoying NYC. Lots of work-related travel, plus the occasional out-of-town weekend hike or rock-climbing adventure. This month, however, I’ll be spending my weekends volunteering for Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign! Woohoo!! You DON’T mess with The Zohran! (P.S.)^3. Ugh…LOL…I just can’t help myself…as you know, I enjoy political subversion in the form of murderous literary imagery (or at least you do now, and to which PPP’s Leh-nerd can testify). So here’s a lyrical poem to commemorate my upcoming political canvassing efforts, with the rhythm set to “Abraham’s Daughter” by Arcade Fire (I’m sure the meter is out of whack, but whatevs…this is early morning online pro football message board subforum poetry, not The New Yorker): Andrew took Zohran’s hand And led him to Todt Hill, While Zohran’s canvasser hid and watched. She dared not breathe. She was so still. Just as an oligarch donor cheered for the slaughter, Zohran’s canvasser raised her voice. Then the oligarch asked Kay what her name was. Kay said, “I have none.” Then the oligarch asked, “How can this be?!” “ERIC ADAMS NEVER GAVE ME ONE.” And with Andrew’s wallet up, raised for the slaughter, Zohran’s canvasser raised her bow. “How darest you, voter, defy your next mayor!” “You better let young Zohran go.”

well, as bills fans we are obligated to panic and overreact if he doesn't show up.

I mean I don't own a car and I haven't worn a watch for years and years. Vacations and nice meals in restaurants however have a lot more worth than wedding rehearsals!

Interesting take. I like it. But it's only one example of a consumer economy running way out of control. Cars and watches and vacations and cell phones and restaurants and and and.

Brock Bowers? Brock Bowers?

Unless the groom's friends spoil it by booking some prostitutes through a gay pimp they met in Chicago while looking for the a wedding dress maker.

From the thread title this event checked three boxes: Trans, Illegal immigration, Hamas

"Bishop isn't tough enough" "Kincaid is too skinny" May and June are dry times at the TSW watering hole.

Any leftist scum going to chime in on this one.... RoundyMao? How about Finding or LDD about reliable media reporting?

Exactly, and would add Pitts over three years only caught 55% of his targets, and hasn’t improved after his rookie year. In Kinkaid’s case he’s never had knee problems prior to last year, but admitted this summer he had knee injuries to both knees and tried playing through it. He also had more receptions for a TE his rookie year than any Buffalo Bill in 65 years.

Just looking at how the NFL navigated the COVID year was damn impressive. The fact that he got all those games in was a miracle imo.

You are entitled to do that. Spend your time as you wish. But you are in the minority. TV viewing numbers remain very strong. There was a very slight dip in 2024 from the record high in 2023 but well within the margin of normal variance.

Good point. Although film schedules are generally slightly more flexible than the NFL calendar which is fixed.

First, it's not the "psyche of the Bills fan base." It's just not. It's the psyche of a significant portion of them, yes. And it goes something like one of those scenes from the original Star Trek where the actors are all trying to synchronize throwing themselves from side to side on the set as if they're all being battered by huge explosions and Captain Kirk is spitting out, to nobody, his thoughts, "Must ... reach ... the phase shift ... dilithium ... button ... reverse the polarity ... find ... scapegoat ... blame Bills losses ... pitchforks ..." This is one of the most common, basic ways to handle loss and disappointment among human beings. And most of the time it doesn't make sense. It's just the comfortable response. It's not "everyone" who knows the defense is a "fraud." It's mostly a small group of very sad people. Who mistake the inability to stop one sensational offense with the greatest QB since Brady, a guy who's likely to enter the GOAT conversation, with being bad. They certainly weren't good enough last year. But overall, the past four years before that they were damn good. And again, they have actually been damned effective in the playoffs. Except against the Chiefs. You're right, it's not just you. But it's closer to "just you" than it is to "everyone."
