Who would like some catering?
rockpile replied to SDS's topic in TBD Annual Tailgate (TBDAHOT)'s Topics
I am going to be grazing anyway, so this would be perfect. I love watching other people cook for a change. -

One prime for the Rockpile, thank you. Face it, Eric, you are a derelict magnet! -

In photo #1, that is me with my arm around Jay's shoulder. In front of me is my daughter (formerly aka Pebbles) and many from her husband's family. -
Bills' 2016 Training Camp - Day 2
rockpile replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe I will see you at camp. I will wear a TBD hat and shirt. I met Jay because I had a "Rockpile" jersey on, the first year of camp at SJF. -
Well, I have my tickets now, thanks to a good friend. I have not quite figured out my schedule for the tailgate, since it usually starts Saturday night, followed by a nap, followed by sunrise and moonshine at Hammer's. I usually visit the Pinto and visit with Ken before "Pinto Ron" gets baptized with ketchup and mustard. Then (depending on the weather) we have a post game chill out watching people sit in the Abbott Road parking lot while we have water or one last beer and maybe some food. I am not one who suffers from paradigm paralysis, so all will be good.

I will be at the Hammer's on Thursday (not sure the time). I will probably stay over at Motel 6 and go home Friday. I have not decided if i want to risk being on the road after midnight on what is usually a rookie night. Current plans will change as people post their party pans here. We could have a WNYTBDGPS meeting before noon and be in Buffalo early.

TOD 7/15: Should player off the field conduct matter?
rockpile replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So at the very least they should be able to spell UBER. -
It would be nice to get a roll call for this tailgate. I will be there on Thursday - fairly early and will probably stay over that night to avoid the evening tailgate rookies who drive cars. So far it is Mead107 Just Jack Rockpile Jay Rubeo (I spoke with him) Pinto Ron is a "given" by default Hammer - default because he has The Lot

Bills' 2016 Training Camp - Day 2
rockpile replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I hope they find a way to make it easier to get evening tickets without paying extortion to ticketmeister. -
Do you have four 18 month old children? I have an almost four year old grandson who has quite grasped the cause/effect concept. Five seconds of inattention could put him in a bad place! I know what you are saying and can identify with it (four children, eight grandchildren). I used to have one child stand with a hand on the stroller in my direct sight, while I loaded the other in. I usually knew the order in which order to do this to avoid (but not prevent) a problem. It only takes a second for a child to "bolt".

I only snipped this for brevity. I hope to see you at the opener, and tip back a few. I like your posts because you are an equal opportunity pull no punches mofo. That said. Screw you! <snipped your post for brevity only> You mean like this? "May 21, 1960: WBEN radio announces that the Buffalo Bills Football Network, anchored by play by play man Van Miller, with color commentary from Ralph Hubbell, is 20 stations strong!" -

rockpile replied to racecitybills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There is always next year! Just kidding! I look forward to this season, having no expectations, except that Buffalo will play at least sixteen games. I cannot wait until the home opener and tailgate. I will cheer the Bills every week. Hey, they are my team! Why waste time spewing bad vibes MONTHS before the season starts? (no did not drink the kool-aid) I have been waiting for another championship title since the AFL days. this! -
Anyone watch Little Girl Blue(Janis Joplin doc on PBS)
rockpile replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
This is a "must see" film for any Janis or sixties San Francisco culture and music fan. It paints a picture of an eclectic point in time. Five stars from me. Jerry Garcia might have smoked a doob, I was not paying attention. I did not see anything in the documentary to stop me from watching this with a "mature" 10 year old (I have 4 children and 8 grandchildren LOL). It depends on your 10 year old, and how you communicate with her. It is on the edge. Look at what is in theaters and prime time television today that children watch!! The movie showed Joplin's emotional insecurities, unsupported family background, extreme need to be accepted for herself, and how the booze and drugs ultimately destroyed her, There were a few very brief / incidental "nude" images, that were not the center of the program, but they were shadowed at the strategic spots. It was anti-drug if anything and pointed out that Janis seemed happier when she briefly cleaned up. Some good insight from her peers into what drove her to be "Janis". If anything a 10 year old might be bored. I watched some of it with my 20 year old granddaughter; she was tired and went to bed! Superman v. Batman was more hard core than this movie. -

I found 2006 walk total and I added in 2016. Pretty freaking amazing...... So, how much have we gotten sponsors for since I started keeping records?

Thanks again to all! 2004 - $ 475 2006 - $1.040 2007 - $1,775 2008 - $2,172 2009 - $1,882 2010 - $1,175 2011 - $1,650 2012 - $1,225 2013 - $2,665 2014 - $1,155 2015 - $1,365 2016 - $1,365 - not a typo! same for 2 years! TOTAL: $17,943 -
Thanks for the information. That helps me understand mrags post better. (as I said - no agenda) I know that is a bitching job, only because when I was a senior at Perry High school (1970), I had class mates who had relatives and friends who were hostages during the Attica riots. It was terrible.
