SinceThe70s

From my tape deck there's a recklessness Inflections of the world we want All my friends, my rusty truck We're just specks of love, directionless Call this band just what we want We can change the name from month to month Four guitars and zero drums We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk

I've been enjoying the ride with Coach Prime and the Buffs. What a roller coaster! I turned it off last night when it went to 29-0 and was shocked when I saw they lost. I have no idea what to make of them. Looked legit beating TCU. Looked like frauds against Oregon and the first half of USC. If nothing else they are entertaining.

Wonder what could have been with Daboll/Tyrod instead of Daboll/Josh.

Are you saying that in March you won't still be lamenting the opening night loss? 😀 Everyone loves starting the season with a W but win or lose opening night is inconsequential, just another game in a long season. With that said, you can check back with me on Sunday if your Sabres beat my Isles, maybe I'll change my tune if the Isles lose. As an aside, I just checked the standings and 4 teams have already played two games while the Isles sit idle until their opener tomorrow. Bizarro scheduling imo.

Don't want to study on the G.I. bill Want more action, haven't had my fill Mercenary, fight for anyone Fight for money, fight for fun Let's go!

Maybe I'm not alone Maybe if you take my hand And I reach up to God Maybe this time he'll say a prayer for the damned

@ExWNYer @Gugny @Another Fan Are you fellas paying any attention to the post season? By and large I'm not, but I tuned in a little today. Braves/Phillies is a death or boola-boola scenario for me. If you don't know the joke, death sounds better than boola-boola until you find out that it's death by boola-boola. There's an outside chance we'll get a Scherzer/Verlander matchup next series. I'll refer back to death or boola-boola. With nothing left to cheer for I turned on D'Bags/Dodgers. I'm rooting for the D'Bags. In the 3rd inning the Bags go yard 3 times. Another D'bag hits one but it gets over-turned on replay (foul) - and on the next pitch he hits it out! #LFGBags!!!

I've been around This lonely place Lonely place before You got a choice To leave your place Your lonely place behind Be true to yourself Now and let it go It's better than you think

It's amazing to me how much time and energy today's society - myself included - devotes to parsing everything someone says and pontificating on what it meant, why they said it, what they should have said, how it affected the person they said it to or about, yadda yadda yadda.... What a colossal waste of time! And yet, here I am.

My first attempt was Blazing Saddles. Me and a friend made it into the theater and the movie started when we got a tap on the shoulder and were informed we'd have to depart the premises. Not too long after that a cop informed us we'd have to depart from where we were about to light one up. Don't remember where we went next except it wasn't home. Good times. Pretty sure the first R rated movie I actually saw was Animal House.

Baby Snakes Late at night is when they come out

I went through a few cans of spray too. Then I tried covering it - which really p!ssed them off, but they were persistent and made their way back in. I also hung up a bee trap which caught a lot of them, but the nest was still active until the critter dug up the nest.

I had one this summer by the foundation of the house that I battled unsuccessfully with for weeks - until one night a critter (raccoon?) took care of it for me.

I wash my face with soapy water Disguise the tears 'cause you're somebody's daughter And they don't ever wanna see you cry

The clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst Out at you from their hiding place Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear Would find themselves at the four winds bar It's the nexus of the crisis The origin of storms Just the place to hopelessly Encounter time and then came me

So we shouldn't expect him to play until he says he can't go? Solid.

Living in a dream Chasing a sound Told everybody I believe I'm Texas-bound Here I am Well I guess its no surprise Up to my knees in water Up to my ears in dragonflies

You might be on to something with this cult stuff. I have to admit that when they mentioned the 'golden pickle' I checked to see if the doors to the court were locked from the outside.

Funny timing for this thread. I played for the first time yesterday - my company rented a place with an instructor for a few hours. It was a lot of fun except that most of the people who went were not very athletic. Crazy thing to me is how expensive the paddles can get. Instructor said his was $250.

@ExWNYer @Another Fan @Gugny So Eppler walks away unexpectedly today. It seemed fishy when I first heard it and now it's come out that Mets are under investigation by MLB for improper use of the injured list. The other tidbit that came out was a rift between Buck and Eppler over the use of Vogelbach - with Buck questioning why he was still on the team after the trade deadline. This makes me happy that Eppler is gone - it also might partially explain why Vientos didn't get more playing time. BTW, completely agree with comments about Boras. And while I can't stand the long term deals either, Pete is the type of player that I'd give one to. If we let him go I'm gonna start hating on Stearns.

<rant> Cuz I'm a Mets fan and live amongst Yanks fans and the NYC media. Sucks to be second fiddle. For the record some of my best friends are Yankee fans - so my 'hatred' is all in good fun. With that said (and as a Bills fan), the comparison between Yankee fans and Patriots/Brady fans is fascinating to me. They both exhibit similar behavior - as if their teams failure/success is a reflection of themself. I'm looking forward to the day that I'm that guy based on the Bills (or Mets) success. </rant>

JMO - but it feels like Yankee fans only post here when there's something good to post. When things go bad this thread goes silent. Not much critical thinking as far as I can tell.

Why do I think you're triggered? "Because of pinstripes or ?????" comes off as triggered to me ( just one example) For the record I probably hate the Yankees more than you and I do appreciate your insights. But your incessant Yankee hatred hyberbola is off-putting.

Why does talk of the Yankees trigger you so much?

He set the standard. He was my fave.
