  1. Of course a Bills, Bandits, and Sabres fan. Lived in the SF bay area for 17 years and attended Arena Football games in San Jose. Got to see two San Jose Sabrecats championship games. Had season tickets (were only $14/ticket/game)
  2. He had a weekly podcast (Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast) where he had on a lot (>400 episodes) of old TV and movie actors, writers and other form old TV and movies. Some of the people he had on were Adam West, Barbara Feldon, Larry Storch, Dick Van *****, Carl Reiner, and Sid and Marty Kroft. He was also a big fan of old monster movies. Could do great imitations of Old Groucho ("Because Chico needed the money"), Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, James Mason, and Jame McGuiver (look him up-you'll know who he was).
  3. Tibs is as stupid as the libs in CA that I knew. I have had friends in CAthat have asked me what happens to Niagara Falls in a dry summer. They think Tahoe is a great lake. I try to explain 20-25% of the fresh water on earth, running continuously for ~7000-10,000 years and its all lost on them.
  4. Art Donovan told a story on Letterman from him playing i the late 50s. They sack Bobby Laine of the Lions and Donovan said " Wow you reek. You must have had a hell of a light last night. We'll get drunk sacking you. " Laine tells him" What last night. I had a couple of shots at halftime."
  5. Lane splitting= two motorcycles riding side by side in one lane. I think it is only legal in CA and in movies like Easy Rider. Also I think they can weave thru traffic on the highway while it is slow or at a standstill.
  6. ????? the title of this thread is "Why do gays love the dems so much?" Unless Putin is gay, what does he have to do with this thread?
  7. Nothing has changed. The left= party of projection. Everything they claim the right has done is actually what they have done at least twice as bad.
  8. San Francisco though it was a good idea until one of the Spandex mafia actually killed a pedestrian in a collision.Chef Jim should remember that. I think it was about a decade ago.
  9. They won't take you if you have an IQ lower than a certain # . That obviously was one deferment Joe got.
  10. IIRC, the fans tore down the goalposts. Too bad that's not on this tape.
  11. Gene Hackman and and Jack Nicholson are still around and healthy, but they said they have retired because of memory problems.
  12. They are 8-3-3 in March. I think I read 3rd best in the league. They are headed in the right direction.
  13. That's where I got the idea! Remember seeing that one back in the 60s.
  14. Two memorable border crossings: 1- Mid 80s. I drove to the Sundowner in a Geo Metro. 5 of us in that 3 cylinder car (don't know how we all fit in that). Canadian Customs said have fun and spend $. Coming back, i had 3-4 beers so I might have been on the edge of impaired. Had to talk to the cop just before exiting the plaza and onto the Thruway so he could check for drunks. Recite the ABCs. Had to stop for a second or two at P to get a new breath and finished the alphabet. The cop asked why I stopped and I explain I had to get more breath. Friend in back seat says " He stutters."Cop waves us to leave. Pull up about a foot in traffic and the window is still open. Same friend in back seat says" I saved our asses. " Everybody else in car is muttering to him " STFU". Luckily he was probably focused on the next car. I was swearing like a sailor and threatened to kick him out of the car at the Niagara Street exit of the 190 at about 1:30 AM and make him walk home to Depew. 2- First day in the lab where I did my thesis research and he advisor says to come with them to Toronto for a regional meeting on yeast (we were studying DNA replication in bakers yeast). The car had 3 of who were born American citizens, a Pakistani- Australian who had now become an American, a Chilean who had a green card, and an Indian that had a visa. No problem goin to Canada. Coming back, we thought it would take an hour or so at US Customs.We explain all of our statuses. The inspector asks why we were in Canada. The advisor says "For a scientific conference on yeast" and who sponsored it. we told him that Labatts and Molson did supply plenty of beer. He has this concearned look and asks "Bring any beer back?" we replied "No". He says " Next time bring 6 cases back. You're allowed a case a person!"
  15. Cut off at the northern Westchester County line and let Westchester , the five boroughs and Lon Guyland float out to sea.
  16. BillStime + Lincoln Project = love fest
  17. Time to repeat this again. Been a fan since the 1964 AFL Championship game (6 years old). My uncle worked at Chevy and they made the big bucks (relatively speaking) then. He bought a color TV and invited everyone over to watch the AFL Championship. Had seen color TVs in the department stores, but that was the first time I had seen one in someones house. That's the first game I remember.
  18. Will and Jada made some really weird twitter videos before the Oscars. Really, really weird after the Oscars.
  19. The only waste they see is their own waste that they fling.
  20. Anyone who equates 1/6 to Watergate is full of it. I'll consider your points if you were old enough to understand what was going on when it happened. I was in my junior year in HS (Amer. History) and the teacher had us watch the recaps of the hearings every day and discussed what went on and how it related to the Constitution (she was teaching that at this time of the year in 1974). If you are basing your points in what has been said in the years since, IMO, it is garbage.
  21. I had a touch of aphasia after my stroke in 2014. I had lots of trouble recalling names for a couple of months. An example was Steve Buschemi. I knew he was in the Snickers commercial where he said "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"I also knew he was an actor and was in Fargo and The Sopranos but could not recall his name no matter how hard I tried.Finally I said that and someone and they told me his name and I repeated it to myself hundreds of times. Aphasia can appear as having the words on the "tip of your tongue". Or it can appear as the wrong word being said.
  22. I worked with someone from Kansas City. She grew up in Missouri, the people across the street lived in Kansas. Said she lived on State Line Road.
