  1. if your audio setup has a center channel, mute it and you will keep the game sounds intact
  2. earliest memory I can put an actual date on is being 3 1/2 years old at Centennial Park in West Seneca during the Bicentennial 4th of July celebration in 1976. it's just a blur of red white and blue colors in my head but I believe we watched the parade go down Union Rd and I think they were throwing candy from the floats
  3. thanks read it too quickly and was thinking 21-12
  4. If I understand the new-ish rule correctly, the Jets could have intercepted or returned that 2 point try the other way and suddenly it's a 1 score game
  5. I think Matt and Trey could pull off some funny stuff with them as teenagers
  6. back when they did that '4th grade' season I thought they might break the mold and actually have the kids grow up on the show. too bad they didn't, I think that would have been pretty neat.
  7. now there's a pro tip if I've ever read one
  8. This sure didn't stop them from playing up the Kermit-Miss Piggy relationship
  9. I hope they realize the tailgate is a major reason why I even buy a ticket in the first place. I've been to more meaningless December games than I can ever hope to remember, and the party before the games is the biggest reason I do. I know I'm not a STH so my opinion probably doesn't matter much, but I also know there are many others like me.
  10. I post this every once in a while as a PSA.. if your audio setup has a center channel you can turn it off and mute the announcers leaving the sounds of the game intact.
  11. I couldn't deal with progressive lenses. When I complained about not being able to see clearly outside of the 'hour glass' zone, they told me I needed to learn to 'point my nose' at whatever I wanted to look at. With my 3 monitor display at work this turned me into some sort of awkward bird, constantly moving my head back and forth. I bailed out and went back to single-focus lenses, but reading is difficult and I have to either move these glasses towards the end of my nose or take them off entirely (I'm myopic). It sucks getting old and this fact is getting more evident every day...
  12. lots of interesting studies about swearing and the brain - won't link them here since they are easy to google but basically, they originate in a different part of the brain than normal conversational speech.
  13. The gateway drug theory is dubious at best. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_drug_theory Personally, I have imbibed for over 25 years and aside from some college-age experimentation with psychedelics I have never touched any hard drugs. Never.
  14. I was disappointed with the Wing Festival in Buffalo when I attended a few years back mainly because they did not allow the individual concessionaires to cook their own wings, which to me is a huge part of what makes a great wing. In retrospect it makes sense, having dozens of vendors out on the ball field each with their own big deep fryers is going to be inviting disaster. But when they came by with the trays of wings from the main cooking area, each place would proceed to pour a pitcher of their sauce all over the wings, thus killing any hope for crispiness. By the time it got to us, the skin was flabby and rubbery and unpleasant (and really difficult to eat while standing). So for us it was more a 'wing sauce' festival rather than a wing festival. Also the wings were advertised everywhere as 'jumbo' to justify the cost which I didn't appreciate because they were certainly no bigger than regular wings. So although I love the idea (and the cool t-shirt which I get asked about all the time) we decided we won't be back.
  15. Yeah these 'entrance fee' numbers they are throwing around are astronomical. I really don't know who keeps this kind of cash on hand.
  16. I'd appreciate other recommended places like this in WNY that TSW'ers might have experience with, as my mom will be needing services from one of them in the coming years.
  17. If you're an acoustic guitar fan, I'd highly recommend catching Rodrigo y Gabriela on their tour. Amazing show at Red Rocks last night; they played several new songs and they were all fantastic and the 20+ minute version of Pink Floyd's Echoes was a real highlight.
  18. I have a scar on my arm from putting it through a window, so yeah..I remember this game
  19. it's been this way for a long time now. During a Bills away trip to Denver maybe 10 years ago I met a guy at Lodos bar who said he does computer work for the team and before I could even complete my question he said words to the effect of 'yeah I know the web site sucks' and how frustrated they were when they lost a lot of their creative control
  20. I am petrified to buy any new jerseys after being burned so many times in the past, but I might have to take a chance on Tre because he's so awesome
  21. Land of the Lost, used to scare the willies out of me and ignited my fascination for dinosaurs that exists to this day And my whole world stopped when Wonder Woman was on, and the Muppet Show too
  22. I took a 40 hour train trip when I moved to Denver in 96. No exaggeration I was friggin delirious by the time we pulled in to Union Station. Could not sleep in the upright seats to save my life so that probably had a lot to do with it. I don't remember seeing any train tracks near the Tetons so not sure how much you will see? The eastern (Wyoming) side is the most picturesque... a mile of vertical rise with no foothills
  23. Sorry Elite; I quoted your post but my anger was not intended to be in your direction. I'm just frustrated that a team and league that I've supported for decades is trying to force me to get an expensive device that I don't want or need for any other purpose.
  24. I am on a computer 9 hours a day for work, and god knows how many hours at home - I don't need to be connected while I'm driving or enjoying time off actually looking at and experiencing the world. I don't have a smart phone, I don't need a smart phone, I don't want a smart phone. Yes I can go to the box office and get them printed, but it's annoying to spend tailgating time (which for some games is the only fun of the day) standing in another line. /rant
  25. What else is easy peezy would be to scan my CC or DL at the gate like they have done for every event I've attended at the Pepsi Center for years now. Everybody is happy, and no one has to stand in yet another line on game day.
