  1. Amazing they have this tech. Imagine if they had it in 1975! Here is the Arthur M. Anderson's forecasted track to Spain: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-45.9/centery:45.7/zoom:2 The boat was built in 1952...Six years earlier than when the Edmund Fitzgerald (1958) was launched.
  2. Arthur M. Anderson is still plying The Lakes... Anderson was the last vessel to make contact with The Fitz. Wanna see where The Anderson is on the live AiS map... Just east of Alpena, Michigan at time of this post: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-83.0/centery:45.2/zoom:8 Looks like The Anderson is leaving The Lakes and heading to Marin, Spain for the winter... Origin was Drummond Island, Michigan...
  3. Lou Rawls on back vocals.
  4. My reason for that one: Watching that game is like the closest to child abuse one can come without going to prison! Ah ***** it... Just arrest me now for abusing myself!
  5. With BFLo born Grover Washington Jr...
  6. You got me here! 😆 I am quitting the internet... Hanging them up for good!
  7. What? Have you been living on the moon! 😏 Cheap "Chinese knockoff jersey." But... I kinda do see @Gugny wanting to run around town with a Josh Allen "Wuhan Flying Bats" jersey. 😬... Of course, the non-licensed one. For a guy who works in licensing and registration why should he be forced to follow the same rules and pay more money?
  8. For sure! He will peak to 32! Good article: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1683775-when-does-age-catch-up-to-nfl-players "Wide Receivers We think of receivers as being volatile, but their performance chart is actually one of the most sane and stable: The eerily flat floor, I suspect, is partly due to the minimum qualifications of 14-plus games started and 30 receptions. That said, besides a small jump from year one to year two, the peak and average AV for receivers is basically just as flat. From year two to year 10, the typical production of starting receivers basically doesn't change. There's an upward trend in the peak AVs, but that's it. Year 10 begins a steep, steady decline in peak AV and a rise in average AV. This is the same effect we've seen before: Mediocre starters are stop playing, and the remaining elites are showing their age. From Year 14 on, the small sample size starts making things squirrely. Also, there's the Jerry Rice Effect to contend with: He was so very good for so very long, the last three data points are all him. If we go by age, the effect is even more pronounced: Again, a big jump from year one to year two, then shockingly similar production until top AV peaks at 32 and begins a steep decline. Average AVs get a big bump as the decent starters fall off, but then they decline as well. After age 38, it's all Jerry Rice. Let's take a quick look at the age distribution: Remember the old saw about receivers taking a big jump in their third year? It's the truth. Even though the receivers good enough to start right away start out at nearly great and climb from there, there's a massive jump in qualifiers from year one to year two, and then from year two to year three. The ensuing decline is much more gradual with receivers than backs."
  9. Wow! I am shocked! 😉 For some reason, strange reason... I have a lack of empathy reading this little missive of a post. I don't know why! Really, I am not a cold uncaring person. 🤣 I think as punishment, for whatever man-love jersey you currently wear... It should cost you 2x over full NFL price AND have a conspicuous Union label sewn into it where everybody can see! 😉...That'll fix your scab shop hunting azz!
  10. President DeathSentence* 2024! *@Mike in Horseheads the royalty fee check is in the mail.
  11. You guys all lie like Aaron Rodgers! But... If we're in a lying mood: Hell yeah!
  12. NEW Wendy's fries 🍟😋!
  13. Okay that's... Cray cray... But food at a game always is. Why they would love to get rid of tailgating and get their meat hooks in on the parking and food $$... Why should the local supermarkets make the $$? Hard in a town like BFLo where being a "Sweater Wearer & Cooler Dragger" is a birthright. Remember bringing food into an amusement park... No Bueno in the modern era... You wanna eat out of a cooler? Take it to the picnic table next to the dumpsters in the parking lot... No way you're dragging that through the park like the old days. Can't say I blame them, the park would be a mess. It ain't like the old days. Just check out the stadium lots in OrchardPark on Monday after a game, you can probably feed a 3rd World country today. /SorryIDigressFromTheOriginalTopic 😉 Go Wendy's fries!
  14. Awesome! About right: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ That's $1.95 in 1955 and about 8 bucks in 1985...
  15. I guess the groping is worse than this: "De Goey and his friend, fellow Aussie Luke Dyson, a 28-year-old tattoo artist, also allegedly beat and kicked the woman’s 37-year-old male pal and hit him in the head with a bottle when he tried to stop them." https://nypost.com/2021/10/31/new-details-in-australian-football-league-star-jordan-de-goeys-arrest/ Forcible touching gets all the headlines, but beat over head with a bottle... The back story.
  16. No. I think a lot missed the memo: I don't pick the colors. I guess a lock is a movable bridge though. LoL... I know I got an emergency switch to shut ***** down. I can even reverse the operation in a pinch. Anyway maybe something big was coming and would crash into bridge. In that case, ***** the car! 😏
  17. I knew @BringBackFergy is of German decent...He works way too hard, and actually enjoys it! 😉
  18. How lame! 20 something drunks smashing tables and setting themselves on fire 🔥 is much better! 😏
  19. That's gonna leave a scratch! 😆 Can't they stop the bridge mid-travel? Lower it and yank the vehicle off? Looks like a damn Honda Fit to me. Pesky Fits! Maybe the operator was playing on his Nintendo Switch. @BringBackFergy ?
  20. Sounds awesome! Melted pepper jack?
  21. Rent and utilities on par, but wage stagnation is the real problem.
  22. Inflation! Which always gets me... Why is pizza so damn expensive!!! A $20 pie today was worth $7 in 1982.
  23. Don't laugh now. Sabres have a better winning % than Bills! 😏
