    I thought Koch's was out of Dunkirk, NY. Koch's definitely NOT Rochester. Especially back in the day! Maybe it is now. 

     

    Because it's all in the gravy.

     

    Have you never been to South Bend?

     

    Well that's the point, the beef on week was invented to be given away gratis in order to sell more beer from the bar.

     

     

    Yeah, Bar-Bill.  Heard a ton about it then meh.

     

    Maybe it's a different Koch's?  https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/302/4942/

     

    I was introduced to 'weck when I was 7 or 8, so that was long before getting something "suitable" to wash it down.  Maybe that colored my impression, trying to wash it down with a water (my parents would rarely allow us to drink "pop")?  HAHA.

     

    I prefer light salt and massive spice, so the latter definitely goes with a nice Buffalo horsey sauce, sriracha, Marie Sharp's etc.

    While I’ve had terrible pizza in New York City I’ve had great pizza… same with Detroit and most places 

     

    but I’ve also had Great pizza in Buffalo… Like, Technically speaking Buffalo is the pizza capital of America…. There are more pizzerias here per capita than anywhere else in America

     

    Buffaloes a lot more than Lenova or bocce club… There are a lot of really good small mom and pop pizzerias

     

    You can get Neopolitan and brick oven in Buffalo… you can get specialties … You can get thick crust medium crust thin crust

     

    The variety in the buffalo pizza game is big

    I'm still such a fan of Bocce's, but...

     

    Having grown up in NT, Pizza Junction was a family go-to.  I guess that it's long gone and that some of the folks started Good Guys or something like that?

    When I went to the Buffalo history museum I was disappointed there was no mention of Slick Rick 

    I tried to talk my wife into having Rick's lyrics as part of our wedding vows in 2008.

  3. I used to work with a guy who... starred in community theater with... Tom Wopat.  Tom Wopat was paid for appearance, but I guess that nobody else was?

    I heckled TF out of him when he, as understudy, had to star in the play after Wopat was arrested.

  4. I keep forgetting to take a picture of it, but Wegman's in Niagara Falls has an aisle with the word POLISH on the aisle marker.

     

    I've always thought that the label was on brand for the region, no matter the context of the aisle marker.

    'The Lonely Bull' has a certain poignancy. 🧐😁

    Yes, I think that they used this as a reference when they created Pornhub, and I say this as a guy who's been happily married for more than 15 years.

  6. My sister's cat has been attacking potential buyers of their home in Denver.  They've been drugging the cat ahead of any showing.  It's fabulous, oh, and I hate that cat anyways.  Not a knee slapper by any stretch, but drugged cats are hilarious.

     

    I don't know if there's a band called Drugged Cats, because I haven't checked, but if there isn't one, then there should be.

    There is a lot of literature out there now about PSA testing and whether or not it makes sense to even get tested if you are under age 70. I guess there is a strong view that prostate cancer is very contained and also over-diagnosed, and so people might consider not getting tested and the. being stressed about it and getting unnecessary treatment. 
     

    I am not saying that is the right thing. But my doctor told me to really read up on it before making a decision as to whether to get periodic screening.

    My family (thankfully) does not have a cancer history (it's heart issues instead), but when the body tells you something, it's wise to listen and to go to a doctor.

  8. Well, *****.  Died on the same day as my mom, and same year (died in hospice care at Northgate in NT).

     

    Loved the smoke on Tina's voice, and most certainly she totally elevated stiletto heels, a look that I'm totally into to this day.

  9. My mom (RIP) loved Herb Alpert.  As they started to clean out their house, my mom, knowing my affinity for listening to and/or of playing music gave me most of her record collection.  This includes original printings of Elvis records, the Beatles, and yes, the man himself: Herb Alpert.

     

    It's kinda gameshow music, but at the same time it's delightful.

    I saw one wiseass post in a magazine article about British Leyland owners flashing headlights at each other.  The writer said most people assumed it was acknowledging fellow owners, whereas the owners actually were saying "See!  I got the #*%€ing lights to work!"

    One year (I live in Maine where one gets maybe 3-4 good months of convertible time each season) I tried to fire the MGB for the first time, and it was a no-go.

     

    So I popped open the "bonnet", and after watching some YouTube videos, I hot wired my own vehicle by using these alligator clips to circumvent the starter.  Yup, the starter was bad.  But goddamn, looking at the mechanics of that car made my head hurt, and I've worked on a LOT of cars over the years.

  11. Been there, in 2005/6, and glad that you're okay.

     

    My *****, like out of nowhere, swelled to the size of a grapefruit.  My doctor (PCP) saw me first and I was sent immediately to a surgeon.  The surgeon's eyes grew wide, and next thing you know they're shining a flashlight through my *****, in a dark room.  I had an x-ray if memory serves, and then I definitely remember the ultrasound.

     

    It turned out to be a hydrocele, and I had surgery for it in January 2006.  I had to wear this scrotal strap for two weeks, and standing up wasn't the best for at least a week.

     

    But I second the opinion of the OP: if something is amiss, see a doctor right away.

  12. My dad was a GM employee (Harrison Radiator), so based on my recollection from those days...

    Saved by the Bell was a favorite of mine, seen every episode but watched it a few days ago and man, it's terrible.  But for whatever reason, I kept watching.

     

    Tiffani Thiessen was why I watched, cannot lie.

    Independence Day was huge when I was a teen.  It's the cheesiest movie maybe ever.  It's terrible.

     

    Perfect Strangers...this one pains me.  It's terrible.

    For me it's "Battle of the Planets" (also known as Gatchaman or G-Force).  I would wake up at 5am on Saturdays/Sundays to watch this anime extravaganza before my parents woke up-- and later watched the syndicated version on TBS.  15 years ago I bought the full DVD collection, and ended up hating it.

  14. Classic show, and likely an arguable point, but it changed humor on television: puffy shirts, self pleasure, fwb, bad boys, taking a carriage ride through NYC, psychosis, neurosis, race relations, briss, "bubble boy", heck, so many great, great episodes.  I am not sure that if someone came up with a Seinfeld on broadcast tv in 2023 -- that they'd be able to pull it off.  Seinfeld came up with the anti-hero genre, "Friends" riffed on it (can you think of another less likable set of people?), and the Sopranos and Breaking Bad perfected the genre.

    The invites for XFL players have begun. I think that league, ending sooner in spring, will be a better bet for players hoping for NFL rookie camp invites.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What some of these mamma jammas need to do is to "bulk up".  I recommend several hard-boiled eggs before each practice, scrimmage, or game, should that movie be our guide.

     

  16. You remember that show House ( @HOUSE remembers) and how they would always be all like, "it's lupus" before they would decidedly say that it wasn't lupus -- til the end of the series when it was finally lupus and the patient died?

     

    People on my team kept asking "if I had a minute".  Usually this meant quitting, so I was like, "stop that *****, and if you're gonna quit, then tell me that it's lupus then put some time on my calendar to discuss."

     

    People keep asking for a minute whilst telling me that it's not lupus.  Success.
