I finally saw that damn cowbell skit on a comedy central rerun last week.

MIne's me in my profile, yup yup. Stay back ladies. I don't want to have to fend you off with sticks.

I buy it. Buffalonians B word about the weather and the economy, but I haven't met very many that don't crack a smile when talking about their home town. Although, the Jersey city thing makes no sense to me. Perhaps it's a community thing? -Jeff

Didn't she have a beaver shot in that movie and decide to pull it out at the last minute? I personally don't find her attractive. I'm one of those mindless guys that loves the big-chested blondes in daisy dukes!

I hit mute on the 'puter and enjoyed the video. Screw the audio.

Posts like this always make me home sick. No one else that I know of refers to expressways as "The I90." If I called I-75 "The I75", i'd get shot at. But yes. It is 'Da 190', 'Da 219.' -Jeff

LIquid Tension Experiment?

You know, I actually have seen FF before. Ironically, it was with Megadeth at good old 207 Youngs Road. I don't remember the year, but it was with 'deth, Flotsam and Jetsam, and Korn. I bought Demanufacture. Some of the songs were Ok, but I'm not too fond of this "electro-metal" thing they've got going on. Don't get me wrong, I love the heavy stuff, it's the techno aspect of FF I dislike. Now that I think about it, it was probably in support of either Countdown to Extinction or Youthanasia. -Jeff

Yeah, DT rules. Long songs, but they all rock. They could co-headline with Megadeth or they could open for Elton John, either way, they'd fit in. I'm not to stoked about listening to "Fear Factory." That stuff is just junk. -Jeff

I actually like The System Has Failed, although I'm not too fond of the Risk/Dread/etc stuff. I'm not that big of a fan any more, really. They're just one of those that I always find fun to see. Metallica falls into the same catagory. Their tickets have gotten stupid expensive and the shows are somewhat predictable, but I do it just to not let myself grow up, I guess. -Jeff

Tickets (Gigantour: Megadeth and Dream Theater) FULL PRICE TICKET US $42.50 x 2 Total Building Facility Charge(s) US $2.00 x 2 Total Convenience Charge(s) US $8.25 x 2 Order Processing Charge(s) US $3.50 Standard Mail No Charge TOTAL CHARGES US $109.00 Yes, that's right. I just paid $109.00 for two $42.00 tickets. They were nice enough to not charge me for standard mail. They charge $20.00 for overnight. -Jeff (For those of you that care - I *did* land my old company as a client. Time to start my own shop.)

yes, yes they do.

The whole thing was a circus. I think something that hurts him... the defense said that Mr. Jackson would defend himself, but he's not taken the stand. I think he gets slapped for the alcohol charges and perhaps the extortion charges, but he goes free on the molestation charges. He's too much of a freak for the jury to let him off. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0430041jacko1.html -Jeff

I disagree. I think he will get convicted. -jeff

Guys, he's eight! At eight years old, I was sqeaking the reed on my trumpet like a billion other third-graders out there. -Jeff

1. I moved away with my parents back in 1996. 2. Northern Suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. 3. The house is nicer, there's more money. Buffalo is still "home." 4. Personally? Yes. My wife is from here, though, so without a damn good reason, that just isn't going to happen. 5. People need to get over that defeatist attitude they have. Here's my take. I think that's a great area of the country. There's a small-town feel you won't get in many other places. Cities that experience economic booms also experience sprawl. No matter where you go, you'll just not find any place the same. If I didn't have to worry about the financial side of it, I'd go back. At the very least, I'd pick up a big chunk of land and a hunting cabin just into .30-06 territory. That's home. It is for me and it is for you. You'll always remember it that way. Atlanta is where I'm at because of economic reasons, but home is 1,000 miles north of here. Lastly, if I hadn't moved with my parents (I was old enough to where I could have stayed, but opted for the change), I probably wouldn't ever leave. I'm the kind of person who will tough it out. Mistake or not, that's what I would have done. -Jeff

I was just going to say this... Southern Teachers make nothing. Might explain why most of the schools down here are so bad. -Jeff

A lot of it depends on how active you are, too. What do you do for a living? If you're shoveling snow and chopping wood, toss 'em back. If you're like me, I run 3 -4 miles a day, every day, and I'm okay to put back a few brews as long as I don't chase 'em down with chocolate cake and chicken wings. You really need to have the activity in your life, though. The exercise is great for you even if you're already at a good weight. -Jeff

Or or or... guys that crawl along at a snail's pace (dialing) and force you to pass them on the right because they're doing 50 in a 65. Then, they fly past you at 85MPH (connected) in turn, on the right, while you're doing 70. -Jeff

See, that's just stupid. What really gets me is when the guy in front of me is going 54.8 in a 55, and the guy behind me passes ME in attempt to stone-skip his way to a speed limit ride. Honestly, all of these moronic inch-ahead games are simply ridiculous. That extra speed on a two lane road really buys you nothing except for stopping order at the next red light. -Jeff

No. The correct answer is to flash random gang hand signals at them, this should scare them into pulling over and letting you pass.

Yup, I've had it... once. From what I remember, it was a greasy mess. Bears are fat. -Jeff

He's right, though. Don't europeans pay thousands to get a drivers license? As a full-blooded american, I'll tell you that I believe that hauling ass down US66 @ 75MPH is my god given birth right! Now, as to these ass clowns? I have some stupid redneck in a beat up old truck (see the other driving thread) blow past me once a day, usually on a double yellow. It used to fire me up. I've learned to simply realize that not only is he passing me, he's probably eating dinner on my tab! -Jeff

See, that kind of stuff is really just common sense to me. That's the type of thing you learn at 16 that should be fully ingrained into your head. I always let my "person" go. What happens then is that the 6 people behind him see the dude in the XTerra with the Bills plate let someone in, so they all try to cram up in front of me. Your turn, his turn, your turn, my turn. Traffic sucks everywhere I think. Someone is always clueless. This brings me back to that whole "Move to montana and live off of granola, creek water, and bear meat" idea I've had. -Jeff
