  1. I'd say Top 5, if NOT best ever episode on TV! LoL... I think they do kinda fly... But really low to ground. Minivan grill and truck windshield height! The Big Guy, Mr. Carlson was half right... Except domestic Butterballs® are couch potatoes: "Despite their weight, wild turkeys, unlike their domesticated counterparts, are agile, fast fliers. In ideal habitat of open woodland or wooded grasslands, they may fly beneath the canopy top and find perches. They usually fly close to the ground for no more than 400 m (a quarter mile)." He was from Honduras? He had too much wood? Couldn't speak English. Now He lost his -ecker in the process!
  2. My brother drove a coke truck (coal) out of Tonawanda Coke. I think in W.Pa... He had a wild turkey crash through his window. Landed dead on his passenger seat. Feathers everywhere! Oh... I think it's a "troop" of turkeys. But mob is cool too! NSFW. Don't read if you are squeamish: https://nypost.com/2016/10/17/man-has-penis-removed-after-getting-it-stuck-in-a-bottle/
  3. No not really. BFLo faired well during both Wars. BFLo was built for one thing: Break-in-Bulk bewteen Canal & Lakes. The final nail for that economy came in 1959. Powerwise... It was close to Falls. That's what helped BFLo. Black Rock was actually bigger for a time, then absorbed by BFLo. Sad. Think in terms that BFLo's positioning turned it into "Radiator Springs", streamlined transportation systems, improved infrastructure around it, technology to transfer power further away from the Falls (to NYC) were all nails in the original transportation economy and then manufacturing (cheap power) coffin. Yet... Buffalo was the first all paved city in the country... And for good reason, with an average of 100" of snow a year, it had to be hell for land travel on unpaved roads.
  4. I don't get the "moral struggle" about paying for removal of something that is toxic. You would think there's a bigger moral struggle unloaded for free somewhere. I am a bit confused (yes, more than normal). Can you even burn rubbish/leaves/etc.. in Amherst? Ha! Speaking of llamas... When my sister moved into her Vermont house about 15 years ago... Part of the deal was to watch over the llama previous owners had. Until, they could move it. LoL... The thing hated my sister. I think my sister tried to be nice to it? Thing would hiss and spit. LoL... Only in Vermont!
  5. Do you want smoke in your eyes making schmores? I think NOT!
  6. Then McKinley got shot and they figured out how to transport that power. Read my links above if you have time. The canal might as well have been a 1000 miles away... It actually made matters worse for farmers not in canal district. Mix in the absence of religion... People forget Mormonism was founded in that Burned-over District. Natives hostile too. Senecas, not too friendly like the ones back east.
  7. The Burned Over District vs. The Passed Over District: http://elektratig.blogspot.com/2009/02/burned-over-district-vs-passed-over.html?m=1 "[T]he remote, agricultural New York communities that became bulwarks of Free Soil . . . barely resembled the middle-class, evangelical, and Whig locales of the famed Burned-Over District covering the western parts of the state. Many of them, in fact, were isolated and economically stagnant – more passed-over than burned-over.. . . Each of [the Free Soil] counties was rugged, densely wooded, and among the last be settled in the state. Shallow, acidic soil made traditional staple agriculture difficult . . .. As the crow flies, some of these communities were quite close to the bustling Erie Canal, but the famed “artificial river” might as well have been a thousand miles away. In fact, its completion in 1825 actually made matters worse for farmers removed from the canal district."
  8. LoL... I am still a bit skeptical, but you convinced me. To OP: Just burn that wood. And do what we did in Scouts when the campfire smoke got in your eyes. Say: "I don't like bunnies!" The wind will change and the smoke will blow in somebody else's eyes! Their problem now!
  9. See! Fergy is living proof that it's safe! ? Burn baby burn!
  10. Fly dump. It's the only way. One moral struggle for another. Betcha you have the good old stuff. It will leach arsenic into the environment. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es0514702 Actually, it probably has already.
  11. Wow... THEY had 25 at 1/2 and only 44 times with 5 left. This went south in quick BFLo fashion!
  12. There is 5 million people in NZ. There are 10 million people from WI-IL-IN area... 325.25 million in US. Just saying.
  13. Should I ask the question or get the pious one's all upset again... Maybe I will just read the article. 1996 was their last massacre? How many since? That's almost 25 freaking years ago. How many since? By the way you phrased it, I take zero?
  14. Oh Tay! Not that there is anything wrong with it, but please try and keep your love life private. Hey it's 2019! OKAY! There is something wrong with it. Man @Foxx that's just plain nasty! And here I thought the Liberals were the only ones to get triggered. Strange times man, strange times!
  15. Uh yes. 2 years in on 4 years. Okay... Will give you halftime. But close enough. First quarter if somehow the idiot pulls out a miracle and wins another term. Hey Pal... We are all Bills fans too. Be careful what you wish for. You may actually get it. LoL...
  16. To all on the right... Trumpers. Remember this play: How can the Bills possibly lose the SuperBowl now! /smh
  17. Yep! Mechanical a/c changed the whole game.
  18. Sorry Jim Jones... My mommy said never drink anything strangers give you. Especially from creepers who want to bang dead suicide victims.
  19. Oh... And sorry if I can't get back with all the replies... Got way too many notifications going off. LoL... I gotta just let some slide. LoL... You son of a... I just scrolled through that. Too funny!
  20. Thanks. Is that the whole unedited report from the Justice Department?
