I had this thought after Johns was booted: Instead of voting for the best (or worst, ie Sanjaya sp?) how about voting for the person that does a song with a prophetic meaning if they're booted? It happens all the time - I remember a couple of years ago someone got botted after singing "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" by Boys II Men. This week it was Johns with "Dream On." He sang the lyric "Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away." Sure enough he did - albeit two days later because of the "Gives Back" special. Just a thought, but it would make viewing alot more interactive.

No way do the Bills go Guard at #11. Even in a year where OL is a big priority (not the case now) #11 is LT $$$ - not guard. It's funny how a slow 40 time drops a guy a full round. Three days ago every mock had the Bills taking Kelly at #11 - now everyone thinks he'll be there at 41. I think he'll be nothing but a memory by the 21st pick. Sweed seems more likely at 41. As for everything else you've got - I'd take it in a New York minute. Hey, you asked for eggs and tomatoes.

Okay, if it wasn't in both the title and thread itself I'd let it go, but no soup for you. It's Green Bay - two words, both capitalized.

Prostitution should not be criminal. Paid for by the Committee to keep Eliot Spitzer out of jail. "I'm Eliot Spitzer and I approve of this message."

Great pics. I'm glad you're both doing well.

Old Buddy Hackett joke: George Burns, now there's a guy with class. George actually steps out of the shower to take a piss.

I'm in the lobby of the Hilton in Niagara Falls, Ontario and they've turned off all of the lobby lights except auxillary lighting. The Fallsview Casino has dimmed their great dome and the Skylon Tower is dark. All in all, very cool. Go Mother Earth!

Thanks we can use all the help we can get. Btw, at the next meeting we are attempting to arrange a speaker from the return home to Buffalo organization. It's a concept where expatriates are encouraged to all return home during the same week to wax nostalgic about the old days and find out ways they can either land a good paying job and return or lend a hand in the renaissance from where they are now. We're going to try nd set the same thing up for Niagara Falls. I know that in my 8 years with the newspaper, I've had countless emails from people saying "If I could only find a job making even 3/4 of what I'm making now, I'd be back in a heartbeat." Keep the faith!

I think it was Jefferson Avenue

There is a grand plan. What you see now is what we are calling "low hanging fruit" - things that we could get going quickly so that the group wasn't just talking (or, more to the point, bitching).

The site will be redone shortly. We are going to add some blogs as well. Let me know when you're visiting again. Maybe you can make a meeting then.

Maybe this should be on the Polls, Politics board. If so, mods please move. Thanks

I know that some of you on this site live in Niagara Falls or are originally from there. As you know the city is in deplorable shape. Last year I started a group to try and give the people a way to make a difference - as it was obvious that government wasn't going to right the ship alone. What started as an idea has grown into a full-blown movement with over 70 people working on four sub-groups. Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 29th at 6:00 PM at the Day's Inn, 443 Main street, Niagara Falls. Please consider this an open invitation to attend if you care about the future of Niagara Falls.

Simon and Garfunkle reference - nice! I'll bring Parsley, Rosemary and Thyme if the Bills get Sage.

Well, there goes a great trivia question. You're a peach, Lori - thanks.

One of my favorite trivia questions to throw out at a party: How did he come up with the name HAL for the computer in 2001: ASO? RIP

Girls swat boys with kitty willows. Boys, in turn, squirt girls with a hand held squirt gun. Sexual connotations? Hum....

Not to mention that according to the thread title he was 145 years old when he passed over.

Just published a piece about an arcade in the Summit Mall in Niagara Falls. They have 7 of the bowling machines like the one's that used to be in every bar. All are completely restored and can be played for a quarter. I've always been a big fan of the machines and it's getting harder and harder to find a bar with a working one. It is believed to be the most in one place in all of the USA. Check it out if you're out that way. Krow's Nest Big Ball Rollers

This team has some serious upgrading to do between now and the regular season (draft, trades, FA's, whatever) as well as some growing up to do between now and then... ... because part of me looks at this schedule and thinks the Bills could start 8-0 before heading to Miami. I'm guessing 6-3 at this point, but who knows... maybe we'll all be surprised and they'll play out of their heads the first half and be sitting pretty at 7-1 or better. Consider this the optimist's reply to Ghost of the Rockpile's thread.

Your draft looks fine, but I don't think there's any way Miss Piggy settles for 5th Round money when her beau goes in Rd. 1. Plus I hear she's hired that snake from the "Riverbottom Nightmare Band" as her agent.

"If acquired by Buffalo Turner would immediately be the odds on favorite to land the starting running back job in an offensive backfield that consists of veteran Anthony Thomas, Shaud Williams and Fred Jackson. " I should hope so. Could you imagine how hard this board would crash if the Bills dropped or swapped a #1 pick for Turner then announced that he was in a 3-way competition with A-Train and Shaud Williams to be the #1 back?

I've spent the better part of two years collecting Buffalo sports pennants for my rec room. Here are 3 teams whose pennants I now own that I never new existed before I began my quest. Enjoy! The Buffalo Norsemen of the upstart NAHL. Team played at the Tonawanda Sports Center for 2 years 1974-76. Guy Trottier was the most famous member of the team. Norsemen Stats Team Logo The professional women's softball team the Buffalo Breskis. Women's fastpitch softball Player/Coach Nan Harvey The hardest pennant to find of them all is the Toronto-Buffalo Royals of World Team Tennis. The team was in existence for just 1 year (1974) and split its home games between the Aud and Maple Leaf Garden. World Team Tennis History Team Tennis Logos
