  1. I don't eat them anymore, but when I did, chocolate with chocolate frosting was my favorite. Fess up, guys. How many times did you watch this before scrolling down to the rest of the thread? Six, here.
  2. I couldn't care less whether a spy character is a man or a woman, but if I were the legendary James Bond, I'd be pissed that they didn't retire my number.
  3. The team was appraised at around $1B, if I recall correctly, so adding a $400M penalty essentially raises the price by 40%. Maybe it would be worth more in a different market, but that's a pretty big risk, especially when everyone knew the Pegulas wanted it and they were willing to overpay.
  4. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free. Feelin' good was easy when Bobby sang the blues, And feelin' good was good enough for me, Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
  5. It's not even acceptable to pee next to the boss. Just go to the sink and wash your hands as if that's the only reason you went in there. Then come back 10 minutes later and take a leak.
  6. "Gaining a non-relocation agreement, which included a $400 million penalty "bomb" if the team were to move, was a sticking point. Instead of that agreement, the team wanted lease language in which the Bills promised to reimburse the state and county stadium for renovation costs if the team moved." I'd say it was a little of both, since the Bills' proposal would have included a $210M relocation penalty.
  7. Eleanor Rigby Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been. Lives in a dream. Waits at the window Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door. Who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong?
  8. In the early 80s, Larry Norton did a stunt at Darien Lake. He broke the record for most consecutive hours on a Ferris wheel. I happened to be there at the time. People could pay to ride in the seat with him, with all the money going to a charity. The line was really long and I was a broke college student, so I didn't do it.
  9. Me too. I was excited when MT expanded beyond the greater Buffalo area and finally built one in my home town. Then I tried it and was underwhelmed. Never went back again. I don't think it lasted more than a year there.
  10. "I do a lot of work with unwed mothers. You know, just helping them get their start." - Steve Martin
  11. They get their teammates who otherwise would have been suspended for a BS reason.
  12. The throw was a little bit behind the receiver. If Josh had hit him in stride, he could have swam for a TD.
  13. Currently: 6 divisional games 4 games against one division in your conference 4 games against one division in the other conference 2 games against teams in the other two divisions in your conference who placed the same in their respective divisions Extra 2 games: You play those last two teams twice each: once at home and once away.
  14. Who caught the pass? Let's bring him in for a workout. ?
  15. Two more meaningful games plus an extra bye week effectively extends the regular season by 3 weeks. I'm in favor of that. But I hate the 16 game restriction on players. Increase the roster size instead.
  16. Without a warning you broke my heart Takin' it baby, tore it apart And you left me standin' in the dark Said your love for me was dyin' Come on baby, baby please Come on baby, I'm on my knees Turn on your light Let it shine on me Turn on your lovelight Let it shine on me Let shine, let it shine, let it shine
  17. If they're gonna tag you, they should pay you the average of the top five salaries on this board.
  18. I know about the GFCI stuff, but I've never owned a home whose fridge was on its own breaker. (Maybe the other two houses were wired wrong?) The fridge only draws about 8A, and even accounting for the brief current surge from the compressor startup, it's much less than what a 20A kitchen circuit can handle.
  19. Great Blue Heron Music Festival (Sherman, NY) last weekend. Phish at Alpine Valley (East Troy, WI) this weekend. String Cheese Incident at Red Rocks, Colorado the following weekend.
  20. My great aunt knows Shane Conlan's family. I think she met him once or twice, too. She lives in Frewsburg NY, Shane's home town, and she went nuts when the Bills drafted him. She's 96 now, and still a fan.
  21. Nobody knows you When you're down and out. Look in your pocket, not even a penny, As for friends, well, you don't have any. When you get back on your feet again, Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend. It's mighty strange, but without a doubt, Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
  22. A few weeks ago I opened the fridge and the light didn't turn on. Troubleshooting time: 1. Nothing else in the kitchen was out, so I assumed the breaker hadn't been tripped. 2. I'd just replaced the bulb so I was pretty sure it wasn't burned out, but to confirm that, I cranked the temperature to the extreme lowest. When the compressor didn't kick on, I figured the fridge was dead. (It's about 9 years old.) So the wife, son, and I hauled all the food downstairs to the "auxiliary" fridge. (It's mostly for beer and wine, but it sometimes holds Thanksgiving leftovers and stuff that doesn't fit in the kitchen fridge.) The next day, my wife and I had a discussion about getting it fixed vs just buying a new one. As I researched various brands and models, I started thinking more about the breaker. Is it possible that nothing else in the kitchen is on that circuit, and that's why all the other appliances worked? So I checked the breaker box and, sure enough, one breaker had tripped. I turned it back on and the fridge magically came to life. Whoever wired the house put the fridge outlet on its own circuit. (This is the third house we've owned and I've never seen that before.) And yes, I owned up to it and hauled all the stuff back up to the main fridge myself.
  23. I often wondered that, so I finally looked it up a couple of years ago. Turns out, it wasn't built below sea level; people sank it. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/02/how-humans-sank-new-orleans/552323/ https://www.nola.com/news/environment/article_9e74b44c-6aad-51b0-adcb-af07a317c966.html https://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2016/0518/How-fast-is-New-Orleans-sinking-Faster-and-faster-says-new-study
