The Dean

There are many levels of "homeless". I've met people who were "temporarily homeless", living in their car, couch surfing with friends when possible, "camping" when possible, showering/washing at a public bathroom, etc. It is quite possible to not be dirty/drugged out looking/whatever and still be homeless. With that said, I'm making no guess as to if this is real or fake. Seemed fake to me, at first. But it was filmed by an police officer and posted by the department. If you read the Twitter comments, folks say they know this woman, and it is not fake. But they could be lying, too. One final thought, it is LA and LA is a "company town", with the entertainment industry as "the company". So that throws more variables into the equation.

Happy Birthday! Woo Hoo! Oh. Well, forget it.

Yes, I've had my share of crazies. Trying to keep that in the past---but you never know. Great tune that could apply here: I had a girlfriend that went off physically on me. I just tried to hold her arms and keep her from hitting me. Later she claimed (to me, not authorities) that I bruised her arms. I had to laugh. She did, too. Then we screwed our brains out. Fun---but I don't miss the crazy drama.

And don't go to sleep.

Very well could be. A buddy of mine had one installed (but died before he could use it). He told me not only did he need to blow into it to start the vehicle, apparently in order to continue driving he was told he would have to blow into it every X minutes (I think he said 15 or 20 minutes). Pretty clever kid. Must watched drunk Grandma do it on multiple occasions.

I think the answer to your last question is obvious: A grandmother with a drinking problem. Not all grammas are 70 year old church ladies. My questions are: How does a 9-year old "override" an ignition breathalyzer? And, if a 9-year old can override it, how good is it to begin with? Which raises another question. Assuming the boy wasn't drinking why override it? Just blow! But perhaps assuming he hadn't been drinking is a bad assumption.

The kid was 9 years old. I think Dayton might sound like a good place to go, when you are from Tipp City. Maybe he had a broad there.

I saw that as well. Sounds like a late night TV pitch: Miracle cream helps prevent concussions! OTOH, the post hit nasal spray sounds a bit more realistic, at least to me.

Damn! I was 12 or 13 before I started taking my mother's car out while she and my father were out. But 9 years old. Very impressive!

Excellent explanation, Doc. Well done. So does it mean anything that Josh looked fine going into the tent and while running into the locker room? He looked so good running to the locker room, at first I thought he was running out to come back into the game. It may mean nothing at all. But as I'm completely ignorant on the subject, wouldn't a really bad concussion (I know there are no good ones) have left more short-term side effects? Sorry I just saw BillsFanM.D.'s answer. But maybe you can chime in anyway.

I see what you did there. Trying to turn this thread back into the deleted thread. Let it be.

I started reading the thread and thought the same thing. Kudos to you for taking it down. Ditto here. I ran away from that sucker like the scared little girl I really am. Oh, did I mention....

I'm sure you must have realized by now, but @******* is trash

How are there even two pages in a ridiculous thread like this?

Chris Brown is the Bills "man". Yolo is ours.

You da man, Yolo.

There is no reason to stay away from store brands, if you don't think the product is appreciatively different in taste/quality. For me, store brands are just as good as the name brand, for a lot of products. Some at Trader Joe's and Aldi (for example) are sometimes even better than the name brand. With that said, there are certain items where I find a major difference. Dry pasta for example. I never buy the store brand---or most any of the "name brands" for that matter. And I have found no suitable substitute for Uncle Sam cereal.

YES Next question?

It is a good video (and I've never been a music video fan). I particularly like that the artist isn't featured in it. (Even better that Fagen's ugly mug in it.) He also had a pretty trippy video for Snowbound.

While I'm not sure it's the ONLY reason, one reason the NFL doesn't like balls being thrown into the stands is, each team only brings a limited number of balls. I'm not saying 2-3 balls are going to make a difference. But there are a finite number (as well as being a separate pool of kicking ball). If it became a real thing/trend---well, they could be buying back balls from the stands. Yes, they COULD just supply more balls for every game. Sheesh, with the money this game makes. But I think that's one reason why it's OK to give them (and even toss them, I think*) after the game. * I don't know what the rule is. But I've seen players gently toss (short distance) balls on occasion, after the game. Never heard about any fines for it.

OK, so you didn't bother to read my post. That's fine. Here's another you ignore. For the record, I was born before the Bills were founded and am a lifelong fan. Also, I would never jump through tables, or engage in any of those stunts. While I have no problem with raucous tailgating and a bit of pre-game lubrication, I believe the extreme drunken behavior of many of these fans needs to be controlled a bit. Many of those fans probably call themselves part of the Buffalo Mafia. I bet virtually ALL of those fans (barring visitors) call themselves "Buffalo Bills Fans". Admitting you are a Bills fan puts you, once again, into the same group those drunks are in. Sorry to break it to you. With that said, I'm still a Bills fan, and therefore, a PROUD Buffalo Bills Fan and a PROUD member of the Buffalo Mafia.

Since Cowboys are the topic: If I posted that many months/years ago, my apologies.

While nobody should try to deny you of your opinion, just understand Bills Mafia does not equal table smashing and drunken debauchery. As has been pointed out on many occasions already, the Pinto party preceded the Bills Mafia label (and table smashing) by many, many years. So you say you don't consider yourself a member of the Bills Mafia because you aren't a fan of the antics of the crazed few. In the minds of many Bills fans, and fans of other teams, Bills Mafia means you are a Bills fan---period. I like to disassociate myself from the idiocy of some of my relatives. But I still accept my last name--and to most that identifies me as a member of my family: Some weirdos and some terrific folks. Also, if you refuse the Bills Mafia moniker, are you disassociate yourself from the charitable work done in the name of the Bills Mafia.
