  1. I remember when Jeff Tuel took over, unfortunately.
  2. Concussion for Taylor? Back of his head hit the turf.
  3. Its 8am. Lunchtime.
  4. Shrimp n grits
  5. Can someone post the comments or interview? Nevermind, just watched it. And he makes a good point. If teams thought Keap was a starter, he'd be on a roster. You could tell he was looking for the right words, but it sounded like there was a grown man barking in the background. Hard to concentrate with that going on.
  6. This sounds like a future Safety Ambassador to me.
  7. Just got off of an email chat with him and he agreed. Thanks for the tip! We may have some room on the finance board for you.
  8. He gets micropennies for every click. Its the only reason he does it.
  9. That kind of attitude wont win you a spot on the committee. Goo Goo Dolls will have to be lured out of retirement, but theyll do it for a once in a lifetime event like this will be. Our new waterfront stadium might be a good spot, too, at that point. I called the Chamber of Commerce and they downplayed it like we have time, but I told her to write it down somewhere. Get ready man, we are goin...
  10. The Browns could afford that, but it would make our season unwatchable, IMO.
  11. The first step is admitting that you need help.
  12. Is this a new way of writing the initials|number? Never seen it before, but very nice.
  13. Shady spotted at the Baltimore airport posing with dudes in chinos! Recipes are already pouring in....
  14. Yesterday left me wanting more eclipse So many cool pictures and experiences. Buffalo is in the path of totality for the next one, which is right around the corner (relatively speaking). I figured we could at least get the conversation started about events and parties for it. Im thinking Hammers Lot with Goo Goo Dolls headlining. Also, anyone have a direct link to China for some knock off eclipse glasses that we can get on the cheap? We're open to all suggestions and will be forming a TBD Eclipse committee in the near future. Lets make this the best eclipse yet!
  15. I think at this point I'd take the under. Good foresight on your part!
  16. I agree. They'll make it happen. They value picks in this draft too much not to.
  17. Locks in SC are closed tomorrow for the eclipse.
  18. Vista is what I was thinking of. Horrible! Yeah, 7 was good. It was Vista sucked. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DGVmeeYwEiQw&ved=0ahUKEwjHs6m51OXVAhUDJiYKHQuGCIgQo7QBCCYwBQ&usg=AFQjCNEE4d2AD4qCKuclDELM3H1GfbzL0Q https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DL0ehUl8Cghw&ved=0ahUKEwiBqPX01OXVAhXLPiYKHVUCCGQQo7QBCBwwAA&usg=AFQjCNEqb3UB54Lxdcpc0CnIbIx5HN9srw
  19. I wont forgive Paul Allen for Windows 7, but this is a good start.
  20. All the feels: https://news.usni.org/2017/08/19/uss-indianapolis-wreckage-found Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. Wed just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didnt see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin from the dorsal to the tail. What we didnt know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didnt even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin and hollerin and sometimes that shark he go away but sometimes he wouldnt go away. Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is hes got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a dolls eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesnt even seem to be livin til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin and your hollerin those sharks come in and they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I dont know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Bosons mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, hed been bitten in half below the waist. At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin for my turn. Ill never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
  21. Yeah but did he leave a tip. Thats the real question.
