You didn't see the back judge reach into his pocket to almost throw the flag, when it went "wide right"... Ah, nevermind!😆

She directed the video to Belinda Carlisle's #1 1987 hit:

How about farting "silent, but deadly" while say shopping, then boogieing out of there before your sig other realizes that you laid toxic waste... Does that count?
Then watching the carnage 2 aisles over, while others give her a disgusting look thinking she dropped that hideous bomb!

My now wife moved in with me 3 months after we met. We hadnt crossed that bridge yet. I outkicked my coverage big time and didnt want to gross her out.
Long story short my ass went rouge one night and I literally jump scared myself awake. Must have impressed her because four months later we were engaged. 14 years and 4 kids later she still doesnt in front of me if she can help it.
Side note is there any better car ride than leaving a first date and finally getting a little relief?
WOW! Impressive! You involuntary fart while sleeping. Fart dreaming!
That's downright nasty! In a good way?😉

I heard at that Van Morrison concert that the last time he played that amphitheater he wanted to ban alcohol sales. Apparently he has an alcohol problem, but the venue exists to make money. Are you going to slash your fee, Van, to stand for your principles? No alcohol, no hits, what a great concept! (Not.)
I do understand, though. We’ve known musicians who tour the globe, and we’ve had conversations about how monotonous it is to do the same hits over and over, night after night, city after city. BUT, that is what people are paying to see. They follow the money and keep people happy.
Guys like Morrison don't give a schnitzel, they probably would rather have you NOT attend. They aren't doing it for the money.
From AI:
"Van Morrison has expressed that fame is largely a burden, describing it as a "pain in the ass" that intrudes on his privacy and personal life. He prefers to focus on his music rather than the superficial aspects of celebrity culture."
I don't agree with him on certain issues... BUT he's right on when it comes to status & money... He ain't doing the show for you.

No, I was not warned. If ANY of that had been known BEFORE the event, it would have been different. It would have happened without me.
Yeah... In all fairness Morrison & Dylan are known for this throughout their career. I really say I can't blame them.
Stick to Coldplay.😜

This is just creepy!

We sat in the nosebleeds to see the Eagles and Chris Stapleton not too long ago. They will have to PAY ME more than $300 to get me to do it again in a giant arena. On the flip side, we saw Jonathan Taylor (James’ brother) in a tiny little venue a couple tables from the stage and it was awesome! And for a fraction of the price. Great time.
Side note: We saw Van Morrison on his “everything but the hits tour”. He played for a couple hours without ever playing anything familiar. That was impressive, but not in a good way. I felt ripped off after that one.
Ah... Gee... You were warned, no?
"Everything But The Hits"
How can you feel ripped off when he was basically telling you you're gonna be ripped off... LoL... /smdh
I like Van Morrison even more now for his blunt honestly... He's always got a bad rap as being an overly pretentious douchebag & his politics aren't my cup of tea... BUT I can respect his music & brutally blunt commentary on commercialism... "Down through theosophy, and the Golden Dawn", etc... lol
Hope he played:
"Down through the weeks of ages"
"In the moss borne dark dank pools"
"Rave on, down through the industrial revolution...""...Rave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass Rave on, fill the senses On nature's bright green shady path..."
See, I just got you return value on your hard dolla that purchase that ticket. Now you don't have to holla... Sounds like a great show for the value.

I kid, of course.
Mostly.
We’ve noticed in recent years how differently people can perceive value. Even people we have been friends with for decades just see things differently. That’s fine. We finally drew a line and said we may not see ALL the shows, but we will not be seeing them from cheap seats, watching a giant monitor in the back of the upper deck. Good seats for fewer shows is our preference.
Oh, I prefer watching Bills games at home. There, I said it!
You @ the ballpark?🤣

Attempting this is almost as ridiculous as the first half to the Atlanta game yesterday!
Enjoy!😏

Yeah, the guy who has consistently been fined for this kind of behavior is a victim. It's clearly everybody else's fault.

Was waiting for you to chime in on this portion of the thread. Given your descriptions, I think I may be on the escarpment. Maybe. Prayers up lol
Yeah... Geology in college (UB) kinda does that.😕
But in all seriousness, Upstate WNY does have very interesting, beautiful geology/geography...
Where you at now? Still In South NJ/Winslow?... I am there now for the next 10 days... Daughter and family live there!

The Ridge starts east of Rte 20. The villages of Westfield, Brocton, and Silver Creek are below the Ridge, although there are some hilly areas. Ask the realtor where the Ridge begins in the areas you're looking.
We used to hike the old trolly trail from Barcelona on Lake Erie to Mayville on Lake Chautauqua...
...Upstate NY is a serious of escarpments... Niagara, Onondaga, then Portage... Geology is glacial tilted upwards...
...When you say "Chautauqua Ridge", do you mean the "Portage Escarpment?"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portage_Escarpment
This is what basically impounds the eastern basin of Lake Erie:
Also called the "Allegheny Escarpment."
Onondaga is between Portage & Niagara... This creates the upper rapids @ mouth of L.Erie & Niagara River... You see the cut along the 33/Kensington Expressway/Main Street Rte.5 in say Williamsville and beyond:
Then of course the big one, Niagara Escarpment, goes all the way to Door County, Green Bay, Wisconsin... Creates Niagara Falls:

Dunkirk/Fredonia isn't as bad as the Southtowns.
Chautauqua County gets lake effect mostly from the north/northwest winds, so the Chautauqua Ridge -- areas like Arkwright, Cassadaga, and Sherman -- tend to get the really heavy lake effect because of the rise in elevation forces the clouds to drop their snow load on the west side of the Ridge. The lake shore communities and the towns east of the Ridge (like Jamestown) get lots of snow but not nearly as much as the towns on the west side of the Ridge.
The Southtowns sit at the northeastern end of Lake Erie, which means that southwestern gales come up the longest fetch of the lake sucking up moisture from the warmer lake like vacuum cleaners all the way from western Ohio before dumping their massive snow loads when they hit the shore from Angola north to Blasdell. This is why Hamburg, West Seneca, Blasdell, and even South Buffalo can pick up multiple feet of snow in a day or less.
Much like the Tug Hill Plateau gets absolutely hammered from the prevailing west-east winds along the fetch of Lake Ontario (which never fully freezes, even in the harshest winters).
On Lake Erie, just pray for early cold, hard freeze that shuts the lake effect off by early January. Cold 🥶 is good!
Interesting fact about the Blizzard of '77... Only about 10" of system snow fell. Lake Effect was shut off with an early freeze on Lake Erie... But lots of snow was sitting on the ice from previous snowfalls... The arctic winds blew it off!

Yesterday I learned this was a cover... Took me 57.5 years to find out... Heard it on John Mayer's Sirius channel while driving to New Jersey:
The Everly Brothers first recorded it:
Actually many covers of it, but thought it was Nazareth's...
Buffalo Sabres and the NHL: 2025 - 2026. Changes are needed. Don't we say that every year?
