Color pattern plays a part. First cat was black and named Midnight, second cat was gray and named Smokey and third cat was tuxedo with a black "mask" on ears and upper face with white mouth area was named Bandit. Current cat a tortie named Chloe before we met.

Fixed it for ya... Regarding the clapping, there are 27 bones in the human hand. It's not hard to believe that at any given time McDermott has a handful of micro-fractures. Dude must have a high pain threshold because he's like the Energizer Bunny of hand clapping.

Yeah winters now are one big snow that need to snow blow and that's it for a 5-6 days whereas growing up we seemingly shoveled daily. Our lilac tree in full bloom but need to find some kind of pole to straighten it as that previous snow storm nearly ripped it out and been growing on an angle. -
House Passes One Big Beautiful Bill
Doc Brown replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Unfortunately, this bill doesn't say anything about tariffs because Congress doesn't have enough guts to take back that power they should have. If this bill passes it at least has staying power. I'd wait until the final version of the bill passes to judge it as public pressure for any kind of welfare spending cuts is probably going to be removed or significantly reduced. -
That's so cool that you have the diary still in your family history. I guess if that's the worst that happened they did okay.

I live in the Chicago area & have been to many games. Soldier Field is nothing special after they added all the modernization stuff. It had old-school charm before, now it just looks like an alien spacecraft landed on top of the old stadium. It's much more congested to get in/out of than the Ralph, and there isn't much parking that doesn't require a shuttle. Everything inside is more expensive than Buffalo, parking for preseason will probably be $100. It's worth checking out, but I find the ease & convenience of getting in/out of Bills games a breath of fresh air compared to the hassles of Soldier Field. I was offered tickets for the game from a season ticket holder at face value, $200. 4 tickets plus parking & food would be around $1000 for a preseason game. Unless somebody offers for free, I'll probably pass. I was at the Bills/Bears game there in '23 and it was at least 30% Bills fans. I didn't receive a single heckle from anybody, which I did not expect. I've seen some crazy abuse of opposing fans over the years. I once saw a guy wearing a Santa suit at an Xmas eve game get the living crap beat out of him by 4-5 guys for yelling "Go Packers"... and they weren't even playing the Packers that day. I am gonna try to attend one of the Bills/Bears joint practices. Never had a reason to attend a Bears practice before, but that'd be cool.

I love that Deone Walker licked the top of the blue cheese container... I don't feel so alone in the world anymore.

Yeah I think we are the hard-core fans. I’m always telling my friends about this website and I don’t think they’re obsession level is near mine 🤣 Full disclosure I was a Cowboys fan until 1986 when at eight years old my neighbor convinced me to start watching Buffalo. Rest in peace Shawn ❤️ even though you cost me two Super Bowl beatings I wouldn’t trade that decision for the world. I absolutely love the Buffalo Bills.

Agree, especially with boneless ribeye, a bit of kosher salt both sides and a little black pepper, let it sit for twenty minutes, then grill that thang!

One of the online editors was active on twitter a few years ago. They are getting hard drives up until about 4 hours before air time and like 3 hours before they lock picture. The Bills and any other team have never been involved in anything with the editing. I believe there are agreed upon terms before this starts and through the years has been mastered essentially. There is never any game plan discussion or reveals visually of plays etc. I believe all scouting and trade discussions, things of the sort are not used unless cleared ahead of time also. as an editor myself, sitting here at the moment in front of Avid Media Composer it would be 110% impossible to work with such tight deadlines and have input from various people who work for a team. Its just not possible. I am sure The various directors/EP's and Online Editors get plenty of feedback from the team and the league. Last year's hard knocks was boring. There was literally nothing interesting. These must be a lot fun to be on the editing crew, the montages look like fun. The amount of B Roll and clips in the bins by the time they get to the 3rd or 4th episode must be overwhelming. and just to nitpick something you said in an earlier post, They absolutely have pre production meetings on storylines. While the episodes will be cut organically allowing the narrative to fall into place if you will, the key points / main story has been mapped as an outline in some regard. They always follow the same formula. Attach a narrative to an undrafted free agent. Attach a narrative to the team as a whole and their place in the league, this is where all the stadium, chicken wings, niagara falls, Pegula family story will be. Attach a narrative to Josh Allen....all encompassing. Dive into Key free agent signings and players who were drafted. Then they always have the kooky guy, Dion dawkins is perfect for this....the all business guy, Milano is perfect for this. Traditionally they will go the route of having a Veteran who is trying to hang on juxtaposed to a younger player taking his job or pushing him....perfect spot for a tre,Benford, Hairston story or Cam lewis fighting off hancock. etc. And of course they always have the my mom pushed me in a wheelbarrow up hill 10 miles every morning to every practice story for the sentimental stuff and the bills have the most intriguing sentimental story on the roster maybe ever in Damar Hamlin. So all that to say, the camera crews will be directed to go get lots of stuff. Then the editors and producers will work it into an organic story in the edit as they all are. There is a ton of story in the buffalo bills. They have 100 year old marv levy, Cancer survivor Jim Kelly, A celebrity newlywed, an incredible fan base, a nice setting in rochester (pittsford) etc. Then of course guys get hurt, guys get cut etc. If they have to do this hopefully it is better than the bears last year, that was terrible.

Fair enough Promo, you are a gentleman and a scholar, good sir (not sarc). So, now, can we please move on to eating technique? Every WNY-er knows the Art of "One-Handed-Pushdown-One-Bite-Clean-Bone". Oh, but they will learn these young Padawan, they will learn.

No, it's about recognizing TDS when you see it. Actually it's just R(epublican)DS because you will be doing the same to any R candidate in the future.

Sorry but "he made me do it" has never been a legitimate excuse. It's even less applicable when "he" never said to do "it." \ If people interpreted what he said the wrong way, that's wholly on them. And I've said repeatedly that those who committed crimes that day were idiots who deserved to be punished. Those who entered through open doors, milled around peacefully and then left...do not.

I don't judge any fans and I welcome them all honestly. I've supported the Bills since I was 6 when I randomly won a Bills football from a claw machine here in St Louis. I will admit that I've actually made an effort to go to games since Allen and have more financially supported the team since then too. But I'm coming up on 30 years as a fan this year.

I chose from the names that my wife hasn’t put on the verboten list. I really liked the name Maggie for a dog, but it was my MIL’s “Americanized name”, so I knew that would never fly. There are several others, like Bailey. We voted 3-1 to name one dog Bailey, but that was the name of a red headed girl who threw up in my MIL’s car when the wife was young. 🤢 🤮 They couldn’t get the smell out, so they had to trade the car in. Apparently that left a lasting impression with my wife. I guess it’s fair to say we both have veto power, but somehow it still feels like the wifey gets her way. I have to pick my battles.
