  2. The last time Favre came to Buffalo this guy sat next to me at the Ralph: http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/94/1130/1024/IMG_8852.jpg
  3. I'm just glad baseball is over.
  4. So are you saying you didn't vote last year? Does not equal: I wasn't suggesting that the discussion on PPP should be focused on local elections, I was just pointing out something I observe throughout my interaction with people.
  5. It's always exciting during a Presidential election. Everybody loves talking about it, but after the elected candidate's inauguration, most people stop caring. For the average American, the Presidential race is more of a water cooler topic. People talk about Presidential elections in the same way they talk about last week's episode of Lost. Meanwhile, local elections take place every year that probably have MORE of an immediate impact on lifestyle, and nobody really seems to care. I find this VERY VERY FRUSTRATING. The other day on the Today Show I heard Ann Curry say something about how it's so great to see people get excited about politics "every two years". So even Ann Curry fails to realize that there are elections every year. Whether Obama, McCain, Nader, Ron Paul, etc. get elected has no immediate impact on MY LIFE. I still have to work hard, spend below my means, and live my life. Now, if some chode is elected to be my Congressman, or state senator, or county executive, I would argue that I would see a more immediate impact on my life. I wish people were as passionate about local politics as they were about national politics. Out of all of you partisan axe grinders here on PPP, how many of you vote EVERY YEAR in primaries and general elections? If you didn't vote last year, then I think all of your arguments on this message board lose their credibility.
  6. It's Dick-Ball: Lull your opponent to sleep and hope they forget that they're playing a football game.
  7. Guys don't worry, the car wasn't even mine! I'm in the clear.
  8. Lucky for me, I don't have a gun. Anyway, I have escaped. I switched my GPS from "Fastest Route" to "Ditch the Cops". I made a few quick turns on some service roads and I lost them.
  9. Hey guys, I was doing 90 mph down the thruway and a cop tried to pull me over. I panicked and tried to escape him. I am sending this from my blackberry while I am driving. It's really hard to text and drive, especially when the cops are chasing you. What should I do? It's really killing me that I may get arrested for something like this! Is there any way out of it?
  10. WHEN the Bills win the Super Bowl it really won't matter who is president. Buffalo's economy will boom. Jobs in WNY will increase by 500% and NYC will lose 80% of its population to Buffalo. All the money pumping into Buffalo will make the Bills the new "America's Team". Free agents will beg to come to Buffalo, the Bills will then probably win 3 to 4 more Super Bowls. There will no longer be any talk about the Bills moving to Toronto, the discussion will involve the Leafs moving to Buffalo. Jim Kelly will run for President and win in 2012. At that point a poll like this will be meaningless because we won't have to choose: Our favorite candidate will be President and the Bills will already have won the Super Bowl.
  11. I never liked the acronym TSW and still only use TBD when speaking about this site to my real life friends who also post on the board.
  12. Fred Jackson is a Dave Meggett/Kevin Faulk type. Excellent "utility" running back to have around. We will keep him.

  14. I DO live in WNY. I have never been a victim of crime while on Chippewa, Allen Street, or the Elmwood Village. I once had my car vandalized in 1999 at the Regal movie theater on Elmwood. No one should ever go there again EVER.
  15. If you want to live like a true Buffalonian: Get a bucket of wings from Duff's. Wash them down with a container of Bison Chip Dip. Go for a hot dog at Ted's, then wash it down with an order of onion rings. Tell your fiance that if you were going to take her to Toronto you would have bought tickets to the Miami game.
  16. I can't tell if putting *real* in the way you did means you're being sarcastic, but Joe Ferguson REALLY is my real name. No joke.
