I think Mike in Horseheads should boycott the Oriole Bird as avatar, and return to the GOAT.

A friend would have an annual reunion of a softball team at his cottage. Someone in the family worked at a bowling alley, and the annual bonfire always included pins that had been deemed unusable for play. Lord knows what chemicals were in the coatings on those pins. 😁

What NFL wants the fans to believe:

I got your €%#¥ing 53 man roster right here! * Sorry, thought this was the Gang Green forum.

Sheesh! Tough room, that Orioles brass. 🤨

Thank you! I avoid all that reality crap like the plague, so I don't know my voice shows from my goofy costume shows. 😁

Leave it to you to inspire the next greatest thing in the NFL draft: THINK THE NFL DRAFT MEETS 'THE VOICE'! All potential draftees are dressed in outlandish costumes, and teams select unaware of who or what position they're drafting. Now get to work on how to liven up free agency! 😁

I knew the Bills should have taken Rosen or Jackson...😕

For some reason, I am inspired to go watch a 'Little Rascals' original. 🤔 That's Mike 'Ribs of Titanium' White to YOU, mister. 🤨 * 😁

Well, reload, and see if you can wing him the second time. 🤨 * I am unsure if it's the Gang Green or Jets Nation board, but the going over the fans dole out to players, coaches and ownership is hilarious, and very profane. Should be an interesting board again this year if Rodgers underperforms.

Put money on it?...🤔

A previous employer hired a bench hand whose uncle was a manager at Airport. It wasn't long until the employer had a Wednesday afternoon turnkey league package running; seemed to be enjoyed by participants. We had a lot of fun 'busting the chops' of hourly workers who ended up on the plant manager's teams.

What was the fairly large lanes on the north side of Walden Ave., between Harlem Rd. and 'da Truway'? I think a Basil dealership took over the property not too many years ago.

"I'm Chad from Cheektowaga, and I still thinks the Bills should have platooned Mitch and Josh, or even let Mitch start after that good game! I'll hang up and listen for my answer..."

I can see the general mindset of the board if the Bills are slow out of the gate...🤔 (To the tune of 'Rawhide') 🎶Bills back to the cellar, Sure unlucky fellas!🎵 🎶Blow the whole thing up- REBUILD! 🎵 * 🎶Fire Sean and Beane and Dorsey, Eddie O and his horsey 🎵 🎶Cut them off at the source-y, REBUILD! 🎵 * Trade 'em off! Move 'em off! Buy 'em out! REBUILD!

Worse. The Weird Al parody. 😳

And if you had gotten Beth Mowins, you would have biotched. 😁

Reflecting on qwksilver's thoughts, when you tell me I have a 35 week commitment to league play, it takes some of the fun out of it. If I feel like throwing a couple of games at 5 pm on a weekday, that has an element of spontaneity I like. I also recall DMing with Yoloinohio about how they have 10 pin duck pin his way. I also would like to try the candlepin version (New England and Atlantic Canada). I have bowled many a game of Canadian duck pin, which is the pin point value version.

We don't care how large your 'bombers' are, Catherwood, it's the quality of the ganja that makes the smoke...😉

Every guddam time we get an Elam thread... I have to remind many of you that 'lizard vision' is not necessarily the superpower you attribute it to be.

Bucket list for me: Hammer's Lot pregame, and some of mead107's stromboli.

I am on strike until Buffalo gets MLRD franchises for both sexes. 🤐 Major League Roller Derby.

There were many parish halls that had their own set ups of lanes! As I entered the workforce in the late 1970s, many older coworkers had 'stuck pins' on old manual equipment when they were young. So many commercial operations too, that simply died out due to waning participation and the land becoming more valuable for other use. Any locals remember RocMar on Grant and Amherst Sts.? (Tops built one of their first bigger markets here, in response to the Wegmans incursion into WNY) Allied on East Amherst St? I recall ending up at a second floor set of lanes near Bailey and Kensington years ago when our Kensington YMCA's bus canceled our weekly league visit to BowIadrome (Kensington and Fillmore). Sheridan Lanes in Amherst was one of the first with a non-wood lane surface on some of their lanes; it ended up being taken over by an automobile dealership. I did send an email to Steve Cichon a year or so ago regarding a list of past Buffalo lanes, he never did get back to me. Probably still finding lanes. Bailey Bowling Academy. Voelkers (Amherst St. and Elmwood Ave.) Manor Lanes, Grand Island Blvd., Tonawanda. Still operating, never heard a bad word regarding this establishment. I remember the Lancaster N.Y. Moose Hall had I believe 6 lanes up on the second or third floor.

Oh yah...dis iz da ohn-lee playze I gahn do my Mar-DEE BOO-rahn im-uh-day-shun.

Never mind. Wrong type of 'teller'. 😕
