  1. Wow, all these people posting on the onion rings. I find them horrendous. So greasy, not crispy, batter falling off all the time. No thanks. Maybe its just the sheridan drive location? I'll just take my dogs with a small fry with vinegar and ketchup on the fries.
  2. Yeah man, I made the whole thing up. Got me. You see, the difference is, you never actually tried to cancel. Not threaten to cancel to get the deal, actually try to do it. Better yet, try to tell them you don't your account to auto-renew when the promo period is over and see if they try to bill you and charge you the full rate even when you told them not too. It's a whole new ball game. Literally had to interact with them 3 times over the phone, was harassed daily with emails saying i owed them $30 for a month worth of service I did not want and had to threaten to send them to the BBB to get them stop harassing me for said $30 bill. One time they told me that I didn't even have an active account as its still active in my car. I said, OK, I guess you can keep giving me free service then. They somehow lost my account in their system when I carried over my old cars account to my new one. I also them that the auto-renew clause is not enforceable legally in NYS, they could not care less. Miraculously, after I did that they credited my account immediately. It was a giant $h1t show. As I said before, great service, wish I had it still at a reasonable rate. But shady business practices when you actually want to cancel.
  3. They frack gas, not oil
  4. Pssshhh, that makes way too much sense. There should be a law - if you can sign up for something online without talking to anyone, you should be able to cancel online without talking to anyone.
  5. One of the WORST companies I have ever experienced trying to cancel a service with. To answer you question, you will not get a rate lower than $5 per month. You will also need to cancel in order to get that rate again in the future when it runs out. Sometimes they will offer it when you try to cancel, sometimes they will send emails soon after you do with the promotional rate. My problem with them stems from this: There is no way to cancel online. You have to call them which is so very annoying. On top of that, they use whats called an automatic renewal clause. Although these clauses are not enforceable in New York state, they still try to use them. So, if you are not paying close attention to your date, it will automatically start billing you at the full rate when you promo period is over. You can't do anything to stop this! I tried to tell them that I did not want my account to auto re-new, they told me I couldn't do that. I could only cancel (and service would stop immediately and I would be refunded unused amount) immediately, not cancel when the promo period was over. The only thing they said they could do was remove my Credit Card for my file. So, I had them do that and then, low and behold, after the promo period ended they started sending me bills for the new period at full amount since they didn't have my Credit Card info. It took me threatening to report them to the BBB before they would finally take that bill off of my account. This was after calling at least 3 times and spending a couple/few hours on this BS. The frustration was so real that I won't ever go back, which sucks because I really like the service and was really only trying to make sure I could get the good rate on renewal (which they didn't offer this time, but I got an email for the very next day) instead of paying the outrageous full rate.
  6. Not to nit-pick or anything, but isn't Her Majesty the last song?
  7. I'm pretty sure McD doesn't give two flying f's about online message boards.
  8. 1. Rye - $40-60 sweet spot 2. Bourbon - $40-60 sweet spot 3. Scotch - $75-100 sweet spot 4. Irish - $75-100 sweet spot 5. Japanese - $60-80 sweet spot 6. Canadaian...wait, who really drinks this crap? I have a bit of a problem. I have 30 unique bottles right now and a few doubles. Yikes. Its not really a drinking problem, but a buying problem. For example, yesterday I got Whistle Pig Old World Rye, Old Forrester 1920 Prohibition, and Michters 10 Bourbon. $400 down the hole and I didn't even open any of them yet to give an opinion. Favorites by category: Rye - A Midwinters Night Dram (can't find anymore but I got 3 bottles this winter), Hillrock Double Cask, EH Taylor Rye Bourbon - Weller 12, EH Taylore Single Barrell, Stagg Jr (Barrel proof for your burn and seems to be more available this year) Scotch - Lagavulin 16 (best peated IMO for a reasonable price), Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve (not very peaty, more fruity) Irish - Redbreast 15 (new to this area, my first one besides shots of jameson) Japanese - Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky (again, my first bottle in this space but damn good. If you don't like typical bourbons and you like bite I would recommend the following barrel proofs - Stagg Jr, Elijiah Craig Barrel Proof. Something more "oaky" tasting that sweet - Woodford Reserve Double Oak. Also, you may want to try the family of wheated bourbons. The Weller line comes to mind, but it is difficult to find and highly marked up. Knob Creek is readily available and wheated too. I'd go 12 year or Single Barrel for them. I also have a few unicorns that are fantastic too, but they are so hard to find at a reasonable price I haven't listed them yet. I think George T Stagg is amazing and if you can find it for $250 or under, I would jump all over it. Unfortunately usually its more like $500 especially this time of year because everyone who sells it at a reasonable price has sold them already!
  9. I think they are...but then again, I liked the Watkins trade too when it happened....so....
  10. These two are as good of WR prospects as you are going to get. Jeudy has the edge on cutting ability, Lamb has the better hands. If its a 1 and a 2 to get them, I'm heavily considering it. But I don't think I could stomach 2 1st rounders.
  11. I mean, you remember what happened when those 9-year olds got sick of it, right?
  12. Not sure why we would want a guy that had one good season and gets injured all the time. No thanks. Rather draft a healthy guy.
  13. ...and that guy can't get a HC job...
  14. I went there, was in a frat there. The frat culture there was pretty dangerous back then (20 years ago now, yikes). Rampant alcohol, rampant drug use, tons of well off kids that went there without having any previous experience in those matters, which is a recipe for disaster. We were not even close to the worst though. I don't think we were really ever forced to drink to extremes that I head and saw from others. My fraternity, specifically, has really toned it back still though. Pledging is highly restricted now and very short. Rush week is toned way down too. Unfortunately, that is not the case for all of them there.
  15. I have the Epic vinyl. That's all i need from them. It has about 5 really good songs, a couple ok ones, and a few that are absolutely terrible.
  16. "Brah"...you realize that Marshawn was a Freshman in 2004, right? This is regarding a change in 2011. I mean, it says that in the first two words. Jeez.
  17. The problem with Sammy is not his attitude. It his ability to stay on the field. If he were able to stay healthy, his career would have been much, much different.
  18. You realize he graduated there in 3 years, right?
  19. Yeah, guys who go to Cal Berkeley are usually pretty stupid. Don't judge a person just because they grew up where they speak a little differently than you do. Marshawn is very intelligent.
  20. He seems to tackle too high IMO. Much easier to break those than below the waist. Milano is OK, great in coverage, but pretty average everywhere else in my mind. He is not a stud as many here seem to believe. Not by any stretch. But considering where he was drafted and what he is being paid, he is overachieving. I agree with most here. We need a impact pass rusher. If we can get consistent pressure rushing 4, we are going to be tough to move the ball against. I'm not as concerned about the running up the middle. Don't forget, we get Harry back next year, basically like getting another first or second round pick. He was doing great against the run before he was injured.
  21. Of course they should. A few reasons: 1. They already know the defense. They have played in it for over a season at least. No learning curve for them compared to FA or draft pick 2. You know what you have. If you draft a replacement or sign a FA you never really know what you are getting. With your own players you know exactly what you are getting. 3. Let them walk and who is to say you can find anyone better? FAs have to agree to come to your team. You can't just simply want them or pay them the most. Who is to say that we could get a top FA to be better than either one? 4. We can afford it. Josh is still on rookie deal. We got the cash. Unless they ask for crazy contracts, this is a no brainer.
  22. Stop throwing screen passes!!! They never work for us. Just a wasted down or worse.
  23. This man is a complete narcissist. He does things for the community, sure, but it is 100% to foster his brand and get the advertising out of it. Having intimate knowledge of how he treats his staff and family members I can assure you this is the case. He has a lot of you, and a lot of our community fooled. Trust me. I'll never spend a dime at any of his establishments ever again, and it has nothing to do with this letter..
  24. Dumb commercial. Even dumber outrage over it.
  25. Lee Smith. I'm serious.
