His girlfirend is a brunette. Very attractive.

In a manner of speaking. As some of you may know, aside from writing for the Reporter I own a tourism business in Niagara Falls. One of my biggest accounts is at one of the top-end hotels in N.F., Ontario. I spend the bulk of my time during the tourism season there. For the past 8 days O.J. was a guest at this hotel. He checked out before yesterday's game. Watching him over this period of time was pretty surreal. He spent at least 2-3 hours per day in the lobby bar basically just holding court. He signed autographs for guests and staff alike. O.J. seemed to live for the attention. He's no shrinking violet that’s for sure. He would carry on long and detailed conversations with just about anyone that recognized him. For the record, I didn't speak to him once during his stay. I can't tell you why exactly. I respect the judicial system - even when I disagree with the verdict - and don't begrudge him his freedom. Still, I felt it inappropriate to fawn over him - as many staff members did - and I just didn't feel I had anything compelling to say to him. (When's the last time you heard someone from the media say that?) I'm just wondering, if you found yourself in my shoes this past week, what would you have done?

Your logic is severly flawed. You're saying that you'll donate the money if you're wrong. If your opinion turns out to be correct you keep the $500.00. How about sending $500.00 to HH now and some amount additionally if you have to eat crow? Also, a small point of contention. Hunter - God rest his soul - is now beyond needing your, or anyone's, help. Your money will help all kids with Krabbe and other neurological diseases.

Flowbee Link Flowbee Look at the Jeff Foxworthy wannabe with his Hoover attached to his head - priceless!

The Flowbie - hands down. Anyone that would attach a pair of shears to a vacuum cleaner and use it to cut his or her hair is nuckin' futz!

Thanks, RT. A quick update - Mrs. Sanchez was released from the hospital (she had a nervous breakdown upon hearing of the deaths) and the two women are very thankful for the many people who have offered support. Thanks to everyone here for your kindness, caring and donations.

My good friend Patricia Sanchez has had just about the worst thing that could happen to someone happen to her and her mother. Here is a link to a column that I wrote detailing her situation. Niagara Falls Reporter I know that the poeple of this board have big hearts - please help if you can.

Too true. My appologies for omitting those lovely ladies.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Cablelady, Lori and #89.

That's excellent news! The power of the people wins another one!

I meant it tongue in cheek (pardon the pun).

I was about to agree with you #89, then I saw that a thread about a guy farting at work had as many responses as this one does.

If panties are named such because they are worn underneath pants, why aren't bras called shirties?

It was blacked out everywhere here in WNY - even on the Center Ice channel.

When I sat down to watch the first Sabres game in two years the other night and found that my wonderful dish system was the ONLY one in WNY not carrying the game I was none too happy. I called DirectTV (1-800-DirecTV) and let them know that if they didn't have an agreement with MSG in place by tonight's game, I was switching companies. I heard the WGR team telling people to do the same yeaterday (I've always been ahead of the curve ) If you are going to call, here is a piece of advice. The number leads to an automated hell of choices, all of which are designed NOT to lead to a human voice. Except one, that is. If you choose the option to cancel or suspend your service you are immediately transfered to a live person that you can vent your frustrations on. Hope this helps. Go Sabres!

For those of you that get the hard copy version of SI, check out the page listing the voting brackets. It lists Rich Stadium, Buffalo, NY.

This thread is another hilarious example of why one should never post in real time as a game is in progress. I will publically admit that I turned off the TV when Dallas kicked the FG to go up 13-0. I'm kicking myself for it today. Be honest, who else shut it down when it looked like Dallas had it in the bag?

Absolutely, beat Atlanta and things are looking rosy again. Also, I'm sure it has already been posted somewhere here, New England currently has the tougest 5-game stretch in league history on their plate - and they're already 0-1!

Yes, yesterday was ugly. On the other hand, we're tied for first and our loss is against a non-conference opponent on the road. Add in the fact that, as bad as it was, it wsn't a blow-out. One or two positive plays could have gotten the Bills right back in the mix. Don't start washing your hopes for the season down the drain just yet. I'm willing to bet that JP will fare much better in round 2 on the road. Keep the faith!

May it help to know that many pet lovers feel your pain and have you and your wife in our thoughts.

That's crazy - somebody was asleep at the wheel on that one. I dropped them an e-mail and let them know that Buffalo is a bit South and West of where they have their dot.

I just got all set with my Sirius Radio (thanks again to all here who responded to my thread on the best way to get set up). They are currently running a contest - first prize is 2 tix to any NFL game for each week of the 2006 season. Also airfare for 2 and 1 night hotel for each game. That got me to thinking - If you won, would you give up Bills home games to fly elsewhere and see a game? How about the road games, would you just see the Bills play or would you take in other games? Are there any rivalries that you would consider a must see? BTW, the contest is open to anyone - no purchase necessary. Go to: SiriusContest If you enter and win, you'd better take me to at least one of the games - preferably one somewhere warm in December.

Jim Kelly and Marv Levy, although the smart money was on Taro Tsujimoto.

Here's wishing that the angels look over you and that this doesn't keep you from reaching any of your dreams.

The fullback that Da Bears cut has the perfect name for the position - Thump Belton. Maybe he should have laid his name on a few more tacklers. Also, I see that the Steelers cut St. Pierre who shredded us in the finale last year.
