Jake: Uh, Bob, about the money for tonight. Bob: Oh, yeah, $200, and you boys drank $300 worth of beer.

Outstanding. Sounds like he'll make a terrific older brother someday.

I'm sorry he died. I'm sorry for his family that it was a suicide. I'm not sorry he won't be writing any more. I never liked his work.

If there's a Flutie curse upon the team, don't worry, it'd just be a little short one.

Tough pill to swallow for many liberals, but was Bush right after all? There's been some amazing developments in the Arab world recently. A few examples: - Elections in Afghanistan. BTW, their 'Minister of Womens Affairs' (!) recently met with our Sec of State. Approx 25% of their new parliament will be women. - Elections in Iraq. Even more stunning to the rest of the mideast than the ones held in Afghanistan. Their women's affairs minister also participated in the recent meeting with the US Sec of State. - Beirut. Tens of thousands of anti-Syrian demonstrators brought about the fall of Lebanon's pro-Damascus government. Syrian President Bashar Assad reiterated his commitment to withdrawing all Syrian troops and intelligence agents from Lebanon, a U.N. envoy said Saturday, indicating that he had received a timetable for the pullout. - Saudi Arabia held municipal elections, the first democratic exercise the Ibn Sauds have ever allowed. Also of note, SA's Crown Prince Abdullah welcomed Syria's President Bashar Assad to Riyadh and told Assad to get Syria's 14,000 troops out of Lebanon. - Kuwait. On Monday, hundreds of activists demanding suffrage for women marched on Kuwait's parliament. - Egypt. Hosni Mubarak has promised a genuine (i.e., contested) presidential election - something he rejected just a few weeks ago as "totally unacceptable." Granted, spring in politics doesn't always give way to summer. When the world experienced democracy movements in 1989, some led to the fall of the USSR and the Berlin wall, and some brought out tanks in Tiananmen square. I am mindful of this, and there are other examples of false hope as well - the Oslo Accords of 1993 were heralded by many to be the beginning of true Israeli-Palestinian peace, which tragically wasn't so. But truthfully, do any of these events take place without the catalyst of free elections in Afghanistan and Iraq? I doubt it.

lol, My stepfather was born in Voorheesville, and now lives in Clarence.

lol, half this board could get together in Orlando.

Buffalo (Kenmore, Tonawanda, Athol Springs, Clarence)/42/Deland, FL

I like the way your opening phrase, posted in a 'public' meeting place, obliterates your whole Americans=Nazis now theoretical BS post. Unless I missed something about Nazi freedom of speech, a Nazi Civil Liberties Union, a Nazi Freedom of Information Act, and Nazi prosecution of Nazis for crimes committed against prisoners. Big fan of irony, are you? There's your irony.

Any team leaves Buffalo, they're dead to me, and their league is dead to me. After the Braves left, I never watched another NBA game again. I've never followed MLB since there's no Buffalo team. The only teams or sports I would follow at that point is college, university, and minor/independent league sports teams that play in the area where I live now.

Al Swearengen made comments about and exhibited symptoms that lead me to believe he is suffering from a serious physical ailment, possibly kidney stones. Given he faces threats and rules his empire with a strong physical presence/threat of violence, and the fact that 1876 medicine is cruder and sanitary conditions are no where to be found, his illness and whatever subsequent treatment are going to be a major force in the direction of the plot.

C'mon, people, focus! Alaska Darin's avatar is obviously just a frightened little 'mew' for help. He needs a cat intervention. Someone get a dozen long hair fluffy cats, with bell collars. It's cold up there, so we'll need little cat sweaters, boots and mittens for each cat - should probably stay with pink on this. I'll run over to the non-union giant discount store of my choice and gather as much catnip and cute little cat toys as I can carry. We're gonna need a copy of Tom Jones' "What's new pussycat", also. Time is short. Meet you all in Alaska.

I don't suppose you have an old Bills 1976 Wyche #13 or #14 jersey for him to sign? Now that would be funny.

Another reminder that there will be quality players available this summer, and there could still be significant roster changes after the FA period and the draft.

Everyone's familiar with Fout's media career. After leaving the Bills, Charlie Joiner moved on to be the KC WR coach. The Vikings just hired Wes Chandler as their WR coach. John Jefferson is the Redskin's Director of Player Development. Chuck Muncie went through numerous rehabs; they didn't work. He spent over two years in prison, and his marriage broke up. Then he cleaned up. He now runs a youth foundation in SoCal, and is working the NFLE internship program as an assistant coach. Chucking Demons "We're going to throw the ball, and we don't care who knows it" - Fouts

AVP has been mentioned here before in this program, here's the rest of the former NFL players taking advantage of the NFLE coaching internship program this year. I wonder if/how many future NFL coaches there are amongst them. Some of these players are just assisting during training camp in the US (some aren't retired yet, either). Amsterdam Admirals ROBERT HUNT ANTONIO BANKS NORMAN HAND WENDELL DAVIS Berlin Thunder CHRIS DISHMAN KURT GOUVEIA D'MARCO FARR (interned 2004, on permanent staff now) REGGIE MCELROY Cologne Centurions JAY HAYGOOD CHRIS WARD CARL KEARNEY CORNELL BROWN Frankfurt Galaxy MILTON WYNN JAMES ROOTHS DANA STUBBLEFIELD ALEX VAN PELT At the Galaxy training camp in Tampa Bay. Hamburg Sea Devils MARVIN MARSHALL JOE BOWDEN JAMES TRAPP MARQUES OGDEN Rhein Fire ALVIN HARPER ('inside the huddle with') E.J. JUNIOR TORY EPPS CHUCK MUNCIE

As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Very cool list of monologues on that site.

You don't differentiate between bad picks and good picks that are no longer on the team due to injury/higher bidder? Big difference between Cowart/Winfield and Flowers.

I liked Spoon, then he went out for the season with a torn bicep (again! - had a torn bicep in college), and that was pretty much the end of his Bills career. A shame.

Or perhaps he's just trolling, yes?

From what I've heard, no one is willing to give up a day 1 pick in trade for Shelton either. Just the fact that they're talking about draft picks means it's very likely nothing will happen until just before or right at the draft. From what I've heard, lol. I should say from what I've read.

So that's where all the hyperventilating is taking place today? I didn't get the memo. Did anyone else get the memo?

You all realize of course, that the signings of Gandy and Holcombe validates a recent prediction that TD was doing something at OBD, and that someone, not sure who, would be signed at an indeterminate point in time. Freaky, isn't it? The only thing missing is CAPS and A WHOLE BUNCH OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!

jimshiz, read the fairtax.org faq list. They address a lot of concerns. It may not convince you, but they put forward a pretty good argument.
