We’ve got some of our best minds on it. Dammit! A first world problem I hope we have forever!!!

When our son was in high school I found a can of florescent orange spray paint in his car. I was afraid to ask, but a parent has to do such things. I think it’s a rule. He explained that he went out with a friend from the football team and they were going cow tipping. When they saw how peaceful the cows were, they didn’t have the heart to “tip them”, so they decided to “decorate them”. That’s a strange thing to be proud of, but I’m glad they had a heart. Some farmer may disagree. 🤷‍♂️

After a round of March Madness in Orlando, followed by hours of bar time, I needed a late ride to my hotel in what turned out to be a sketchy area. It was really late, and drivers were few. The guy who picked me up said “I was going home for the night, but I saw you were a 5.0 rider. That’s rare, so I decided on one more ride.” Translation? I think I may tip too much but I’m sure by now some drivers have seen thru that and may rating has dropped. Tip well, and as the New Orleans cab signs say “don’t puke, pee or poop in the car”. There is a fine for that. They have those signs for a reason.

IDK (anything, really), but did he know something about one of the guys in that room? It was oddly specific. This could be seen as trying to help after the (sad) fact. I don’t recall if I ever saw the exact wording. It could mean different things I suppose? I’m not making a case for either side. This is too complicated with too many unknowns for me to have an opinion. All I know is it’s horribly sad and has seriously damaged a lot of lives, including those of family members of those directly involved. Can you imagine your child being involved in any way?

Don’t worry, he likes ranch with his wings. What more need I say?

@mead107 is the only reason we got in last year. I made the mistake of coming in and needing to make a left into the lot. It was 7AM and there was too much traffic to make a left without Mead going out to stop cars. Helpful hint: If you are going, I highly recommend either being super early or making sure you make a right turn into the lot.

Try what I have a few posts up. Maybe a dozen posts? It’s easy, and it’s easy to see. .

I’d LOVE to see that on replay (assuming we win 🤞). I don’t think I could do it live, but the replay would be awesome….with the proper outcome, of course. I take NOTHING for granted.

“Are you Josh Allen?” in my best Ghostbusters voice. The answer is always yes when you are facing that nimble little minx. She means business!

But she is the most beautiful girlf you could ever imagine, and the wallet is bulging with $100 bills and Platinum cards! (Or whatever a good thing is.) Guys need dreams, sometimes. Know what I mean?

I bet this @HOUSE can find his damn wallet!

I think 300 pages is almost a lock, as we limp to the finish line.

I’m not an old-timer like many here are, but here are a few thoughts: * Many of the people you will meet have been doing this together for a long, long time. They know each other and there is a great sense of camaraderie. It’s almost like a family picnic. If your family drinks quite a bit. * If you are from out of town, bring your own beverages, and maybe some extras. Only the overachievers can pull off a crazy good tailgate out of a hotel room. I fly in, so it’s hard to do much. If there is something you can bring in terms of food, all the better. But people are very generous and there is a lot of food. * It seems like a strangely high percentage of people have traveled a long way to be there. You won’t meet a ton of people from Hamburg. * The Prime parking is toward the front and kind of circles the wagons (OK, in this case vehicles) so there is a little central tailgate area. The other parking is toward the back and much bigger. People doing their own thing everywhere. It’s awesome! * You can park anywhere and stroll up and visit. There will probably be name tags so you can recognize posters and identify yourself if you like. We got ours at the @mead107 Stromboli stand last year. A wise old tailgater, that one! * There is a row of porta-potties, with some reserved for women. After a while, they get about like you would expect, but any port in a storm! * They start early! I was there at 7am for a 1:00pm game last year and couldn’t get into the lot for all the traffic. * Oh, and hover cars, hover cars are everywhere! (OK, maybe not that last one.) I’m not the expert here, but have done it multiple times and have never been disappointed. ENJOY! ., .

I don’t know, might a plastic spork be a more apt simile?

Note to self: Never marry an angry elf!

How far away are you? As I look thru this thread and others, I am impressed by how few people posting actually live in WNY. BEST FANS EVER! .

Unlikely at this point, though my mom was doing a lot better today. Much more alert and “herself”. Finally! I have booked nothing yet as I’ve been waiting for her to improve some. Slight chance I pull the trigger late if she keeps doing better. I obviously want to be there, but I need a clear conscience too. I had planned on a more extended trip this year, but I may just do a couple nights if I give it a shot. I’d probably do the Rally bus from Williamsville rather than need a parking spot just to keep it simple. Feels like one guy taking up a table at a busy restaurant. Sit at the bar, A-hole!

I don’t know what anyone else may know, but I don’t know enough to really have an opinion on her motivation then or now. Whatever she did, she did not deserve what seems to have happened to her. NOBODY deserves that. I do think her chances of getting some satisfaction would be improved with a better choice of counsel.

On the long list of things that went wrong here, somewhere you will find her choice of an attorney.

Or…….you’ve had it and never knew. That’s not a bad thing as long as you are well. Apparently it’s common. We don’t know what we don’t know. It’s not disrupting our lives as much as it used to, so I’m good with that.

Stick to the pony’s. Did you ever stop to think of how lonely your right testicle would be? That would be cruel!

It seems he not only botched her case, but maybe his own career as well. It’s hard to know what he should have or could have known, and when, but this was NOT well managed. Something happened, and I feel badly for anyone involved.

Past performance does not guarantee future results, but that Rams game with 7 sacks and (virtually?) no blitzing is very encouraging. This is how they suck you in. That was just one very enjoyable game in a long, long season.

I hope you are not pulling that Nigerian Prince thing again! @billsbyamillion I think you will find it to be a great experience and very welcoming. I have. Oh, and whatever mead tells you, well, he knows the ropes. Just ignore anything he says about stripper poles. That is not really a thing, despite how hard he tries.

Are you saying we should “give him the business” out there? This did not help….. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus .
