  1. So far the family seems reasonable. They say they won't sue, and that the guy died happy, doing what he loved and wanted to do.
  2. I work with someone who is married to a sherriff's deputy who was on the scene. Here's a summary of what that person had to say: It looks like they brought the guy up to the ride via the handicapped access ramp and helped him into the front seat. He made it past the 2 big hills/drops. At some point after that the guy's baseball hat blew off and it appears he may have reached up to grab it and that's what released his grip and got him elevated enough to be thrown out. He went over the front of the car, which then hit him at top speed. I guess the other people in the first few cars were covered in body parts. The ride operators, who had no idea what had happened, let the next train go through the ride. I'm not sure on the physics of how someone would get thrown forward in that case unless it was just as the ride also hit some slow-down brakes or something.
  3. a bit of an update: http://news.yahoo.com/questions-swirl-vet-falls-ny-coaster-213420471.html
  4. You only need tickets for night practices.
  5. I have half-plates
  6. That was Mary Tyler Moore. You're thinking of Grace Kelly, the singer for Jefferson Starship.
  7. or a gulla-bull
  8. I think that's on me
  9. And yellow mustard.
  10. Compared to her contemporaries, she was the hottest thing out there. Navratilova, BJK, Margaret Court, Virginia Wade, Evonne Goolagong... I always thought Pam Shriver was cute too.
  11. I dunno about crying, but Whitney Houston's Star Spangled Banner still gives me goosebumps. I may have cried a bit in the Stadium when she performed it before SB XXV.
  12. Webster Hots is doing some AWESOME plates. Way better than Empire or Bay. The tater tot option is a nice addition, and my new usual is a philly cheese steak plate with peppers onions & mozzarella, with tots & mac salad, mustard onions hot sauce (ie everything).
  13. Better than a Kinks concert I would guess.
  14. Which he did again as the Bills kicker against the fish a year or two later.
  15. Video of the segment: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d82083034/Jim-Kelly-to-Bills-fans-Hang-with-us
  16. Wallace Francis 101 yard kickoff return against the Eagles.
  17. He concluded by saying "Bills Fans - don't give up. Hang with us a little longer; it's right around the corner"
  18. Case dismissed: http://www.whec.com/news/stories/s2174896.shtml?cat=565
  19. I was there too. I remember Duane Thomas going into the stands after a fan during the National Anthem The stadium was half-empty at kickoff because of the traffic and stadium issues.
  20. They look better on Kelly/Thomas than on the military guys. Again, I really don't like the whole stretch thing.
  21. They're better than the CFL unis, but I had hoped for better. Maybe it's just the whole snug-fit thing I have a problem with. Maybe I'll like 'em more when I see them close up. I hope so.
  22. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110624/od_afp/fblaustraliaoffbeat_20110624145655 More accurately, for refusing to remove it...
