Mine raised me - they were the best! That sounds like entrapment to me. Don't worry, I do not offend very easily.

96 Tears by ? and the Mysterians?

Oh, bite me. Like I care what you do! Father of four, Grandfather of five.

Lackawanna, where the slag meets the sea.

Are you saying that "the", as in "home of the brave" does not have nine syllables?

The first AFL - NFL Championship game. I won $1.50 when the Packers beat the Chiefs, which was a hefty sum of money for me then. I was a Joe Kapp fan in SB III. I was a Jets fan in SB III.

Do you know when the next Buffalo Bills Boosters Bulletin is due?

Page 14 D of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has a picture of Thurman talking to the media after he was signed to a one-day contract so he could retire as a Buffalo Bill in February 2001. That is just one source. How much information do you need before you say "oops" Should Jim Kelly be removed from the HOF because he said he would never come to Buffalo, and went to the USFL? The only thing dumber than being wrong, is not being able to admit you are wrong - and I am wrong all the time so I know!! ?

My brother-in-law got a couple very sweet deals, but he is also a mechanic and made sure they were perfect. Since he was looking for an SUV and a minivan, and the market was glutted, he did fine and would definitely do it again. When I was looking, I found that for just a few thousand more, I could get a NEW Honda Accord sedan with 10 miles on it instead of 20 thousand miles. That was only because the high gas mileage sedans were in much higher demand from rental resales than the SUVs.

I deep fried buffalo wings, drained them, and put them in tightly sealed aluminum pans on the day before a game, with just enough sauce to baste them. The next day we reheated them (still covered) outside on a wood fire (Rich Stadium in the snow) and added more sauce. No one complained, and we finished off at least ten pounds of wings. Cook all the wings the traditional way, and reheat the bbq/honey ones in a crock pot, but put the hot ones on a cookie sheet or deep boiling pan, and douse with sauce in a hot oven at the party. Should come pretty close to "fresh".

I was thinking that if this post was pinned to the top of the board it would save a ton of repetitive questions.

Right, picture that - Rich monitoring a buffet! That is like Sylvester monitoring Tweetie Bird.

Someone should start a petition.

DAMN! Last year I brought home a six pack of Tecate in my carry-on (leftovers from the room). One in each sock for padding.

My personal favorite salsa - easy and it is good for you (don't tell anyone). It goes great with Tecate, Sol and lime, Pacifico, or a Dos Equis Amber ale. The cheese/salsa/sausage sounds very yummy in a Garbage Plate-ish kinda way! Pico de Gallo salsa (liberated from About.com) INGREDIENTS: * 4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped * 1/2 cup finely chopped onion * 2 fresh chile peppers, mild or hot, seeded and finely chopped (I prefer some fresh jalapeno, but you can also substitute sweet italian green pepper) * 2 tablespoons chopped red or yellow bell pepper * 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro (note - this ingredient is ESSENTIAL to the recipe) * 1 teaspoon lime juice * salt and pepper, to taste PREPARATION: Combine ingredients in a glass or other non-reactive bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. I think a couple hours minimum is better, but that's me, and what the hell is a reactive bowl - nucular (sic)? Makes about 2 cups (or about 6 if you triple the recipe).

Better be careful, detox! In (some areas of) South Carolina: Gotta love NY!

Maybe if Hillary wins in 2008. She "pardoned" Slick Willy!

Um, what show? I really don't know!

Thanks! I wish my attitude WAS always outstanding. I am working on it.

I don't. Erynthered offered me way to little to get purple feet. Handed in my severance letter today. I was waiting until my accrued vacation and 1/15 pay were in the bank, since they were only promised verbally. I am keeping my mind open on this - new paradigms and all... Still going to Mexico on Valentine's Day for a week. I love walking along the malecon, watching the sunsets on the ocean at night. Doesn't cost much for a bus from the Marina into Puerto Vallarta (40 cents I think) and buckets of beer on ice in the sun. Lunch in "old town" is cheap. Safer than eating at a fast food joint in the states! We don't stay in the resort except for meals and drinks- too many arrogant or ignorant gringos. We prefer wandering on the Rambo busses with the locals and just explore. I really should learn some Spanish some day. It is getting too developed though - it is sad. God, life is hard.

A hunnert dollars. Cash money! thenk yew!

... and Rockpile's then eleven year old daughter asks for the CASSETTE tape, entitled "I Want Your Sex". Somehow that seemed so wrong. Could not do that.

To be fair, our department went from 65 to 12 people several years back. I knew this day was eventually coming - just did not have the date. Coulda been 6 weeks or 6 years! I survived almost a decade of down-sizing. I have no complaint. Sent out two resumes today.

Um, I am having one now. 1-800-ROK-PILE (after about 12 long necks, you do not notice the misspelling).
