  1. I've had nothing but good experiences at Anchor Bar (the original, not the ****ty franchises that opened in Rochester for a spell). Every wing was cooked well and sauced. My only complaint is that last time Jimmy Fallon was seated at the table next to mine and despite my repeated requests to move to a funnier area of the dining room, the waitstaff tried to convince me that Fever Pitch was a good movie.

    I tried to get a pic of the gorgeous redhead, but I ended up with a pic of a chihuahua in a fat chick's lap. That's my luck.

  2. lol. No. She was in my group. First time meeting her. I would also say that her beers were fantastic.

    Yeah ... her ... whoa.

     

    Let's just stick with the "mrags' pulled pork was really THAT GOOD" angle to explain why I kept bringing people there to try it.

  3. People are too picky? You've said some outlandish things around here, but that might stay near the top for a while. I paid my hard earned bucks and was much less than satisfied and I came here and said why. The waitress couldn't have cared less when I questioned her about the wings (could she have made things right? hell yeah, after I explained the situation she could have brought me a handful of wings extra crispy, light sauce). A pitcher of 'premium' beer tasted like rotgut. If you've got a secret code (extra crispy, light sauce, heavy sauce etc. etc. etc.) that tells me you don't care one little bit about my business. That's ok, I'm an out of towner and they don't care about me, but if I can spread the word on the food, beverage and service you bet your bippy I will.

    What is a bippy? And how do you know Exiled has one?

  4. I went to Anchor Bar and got wings. Was planning on just grabbing a beer, then heading to Duff's. Decided to just eat there.

     

    I'm glad we did. Beerball had actually told me, prior to the trip that, Anchor Bar's wings were decent.

     

    I've seen them slammed quite a bit on this site.

     

    I thought they were delicious. Got the hot ones. They could have been a tad hotter, but they still had a little kick.

     

    Great flavor. Nice crispness. Nice meatiness. And we got 20 for $20. Beer prices were fair and the bartenders were very nice.

     

    Oh .... Then there was the red head.

  5. Great time, indeed. Can't wait till next year's. the Stromboli (Mead) and the pulled pork sandwiches (mrags) were my culinary highlights, but everything was excellent.

     

    I walked (I use that term loosely) away impressed at how nice everyone I met was. That is obviously why it's the best Bills site going.

     

    Go Bills!!

  6. good for you. I re-started walking and light weight training this week, i got sick of feeling sorry for myself, a group of guys at work walks a few miles every morning at 630 so i try and meet them here, if i miss them, which may be somewhat on purpose, i do the weights in our company gym.

     

    i found out that its way easier to come to work at 630 dressed to work out than it is to bring your gym clothes and do it at lunch....i get there unshowered and in gym clothes, i may as well exercise then shower at work...if i try and plan on lunch, i always find an excuse to not put the effort in.

     

    my biggest hurdle would be giving up beer...i probably should cut waaaay back, and have done so recently, but i don't want to eliminate it completely

    When I quit smoking in May 2012, I joined Weight Watchers to prevent weight gain. I'm still on Weight Watchers (and still not smoking) and I've lost almost 40 lbs. I drink plenty of beer.

     

    I know everyone is different, but whenever I begin to hit a plateau, I walk more. Like Chevy, it's my key to success. I walk a minimum of 2.5-3 miles/day. Sometimes up to 5-6. I count mowing my lawn, too (it's about 2.25 miles according to my pedometer)!!

     

    If I was more diligent, I would have lost 60 lbs. in a year. I have no doubt. But ... I like my beer and I am far less-diligent on the weekends. During the week I eat a low fat/high fiber diet. Weekends, I'll splurge a little, but I only eat fast food about once or twice a month.

     

    Best of luck to you.

     

    My best advice is this: for exercise, do something you enjoy. If it's walking, walk somewhere interesting. I hate working out. But I've grown to love my daily walks. It never feels like something I have to do.

     

    And I'm a yes at :04

  7. A fan forum is a place for recreational and freelance banter. The point here is to supplement the enjoyment of being a football fan for the beloved Bills. People, at least I believe, aren't here to be subjected to judgment.

     

    Nearly every post could be scrutinized by the spelling and grammar police. For example your phrase "I hammer my son with proper grammar" is not in line with the context of your remaining post.

     

    You likely meant "I hammer my son about the use of proper grammar."

     

    The way you phrased your initial statement merely means you subject him to your use of proper grammar exhaustively.

     

    Additionally, The last two attempts at sentences aren't properly punctuated.

     

    Do any of these errors take away from your point?

    No, I meant I hammer him with proper grammar. When he says, "Me and Gabe are gonna go hang out at his house," I say, "Gabe and I."

     

    I'm not one of the grammar police on the board (unless I just feel like being a prick - usually to someone else who's being a bigger prick). I'm also referring more to spoken English. More people hear what people say than what people write.

     

    Furthermore, I don't judge people based on their grammar usage. I said it happens; I didn't say it was right.

     

    My citing of the "Women/Manhattan" thread was a loving poke to Beerball's ribs, as he was the author.

     

    And you totally nailed me on the punctuation. Don't judge me!!!

  8. Nothing is worse than those God Damned teletubbies. I've never been one to forbid things from my son. But teletubbies were off the table from day one. I can find educational value in most things. Even reality TV. But there is absolutely nothing anyone can gain from watching those idiots.
