Again, the original blue one. Very sharp, dark and forboding with the storm clouds rolling in.

Nice photos. Definately the blue. Not sure where they were taken, but the sepia seems to be at dock somewhere whereas the blue seems to be at sea with a strong storm rolling in.

You just have to figure he was. I've been both a Billy Joel fan and a Spingsteen fan for a long time. They should not be covering each other's songs. Totally different styles.

Thats awful.

Yes, we had the Oasis downstairs. Good place that was. I remember when the Princeton review folks were in rating the best party schools, we just kept giving them more and more free drinks, a few sorority girls were all over them and I think they got free drugs in the bathroom. No wonder we were rated highly. Hence, the only time to go is for a nitecap.

Can I get my robot to look like Scarlett Johanssen?

Off the top of my head.... NYC Sutton Place - Fine after work hotties getting loaded Down the Hatch - See Above Turtle Bay - See Above McSorley's - The best. McFadden's - My home away from home in NYC. Chumley's - Former Village Speakeasy is still really cool for a nitecap. In summer for NYC - The West 79th St Boat Basin Cafe and Bryant Park - both spots great for picking up easy after work hotties in the summer. Buffalo 67 West - My home away from home in Law School. Cole's - A classic, and still awesome. Boston Hotel - I remember $1.99 all you can eat shrimp/clams/crab legs on Monday nites, as well as $5.00 pitchers. Colter Bay - Nice for a late nite drink with a honey. In summer - The Pier was great, so was Crawdaddy's. Both are gone now. Albany Ye Old Lamp Post - My employer during college (yes, I bartended there). Washington Tavern - Awesome Fri happy hour with drunk SUNY girls. Elsewhere Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans - Spent most of Mardi Gras 2000 here. Awesome. The Daiquiri Deck - Siesta Key Florida - Great daily happy hour. Senor Frog's in Cancun - Had much fun there senior year in college. The Clevelander in South Beach - Pool Parties with chicks and Wet T-Shirts!! The Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville (Chicago) - Go party with the honeys you just hung out with in the bleachers after a day game!!

You have got to be kidding me? Baseball is about anticipation and reacting. Is the pitcher throwing off-speed stuff, is the SS and the defense adjusting accordingly, where is the ball most likely to be hit, anticipate, react and make the play. I'd like to see any kickball players even attempt anything as difficult as baseball.

I play often on various teams. I have played on very good teams that won championships and very bad teams that lost almost every game. I just love to play. But you're right...I hate "Softball Guy" too. You can spot him from the multiple wristbands he wears. Take it easy on the umps. We have decent umps in our league. I have very little to complain about.

And worth every penny!!

I don't root for the USA to lose in anything. That said, I hate having sports rammed down my throat. World Cup? Who cares. Just like women's soccer a few years ago. Stop telling me I should care. I don't.

I love Schwabel's. Used to live about 10 minutes from there. The place has great character and I make it a point of going there often when I'm back in Buffalo.

A couple of points... I grew up in Buffalo, left for college, returned for law school and moved to NYC. The reason was for the job...there were precious few jobs in Buffalo for a securities attorney. The very little there had very limited upside, financially. That said, I love the area and I would LOVE to move back. My wife is from LI, so that would be a tough sell. We have, however, invested in the area (place in Ellicottville, season tix for the Bills in a split) and will continue to do so. Finally, as a Republican and a NYC resident, I can say that Bloomberg is absolutely one of the worst mayors I have ever seen and deserves absolutely no support. I have not been politically active in NYC, simply because he is in office. Once he leaves, I will get involved.

I have a lot of faith in JP becoming a very good player.

This bike isn't for cruising. Its the fastest bike in the world.

The Burgh is very tough, but nothing beats Boston.

Agree with you there.

No way. Try driving on the Belt Parkway here in NYC, during the summer. Massive traffic, crawling along at 20 MPH, here comes some yahoos on bikes weaving in between the three lanes choke full of traffic. And they wonder "why" when they get wasted by a car changing lanes. You want to talk about killing a whole day while some yahoo is scraped off the Belt, after trying to make it between an Expedition and a Land Rover full of kids, and you're sitting there for 3 hours. Fun.

Excellent point, Darwin at work.

Actually, it is just you that you are harming. According to reports, Ben was not at fault. If he wears a helmet, he may or may not have suffered the same (according to the minimal amount of info available). We don't know yet. According to your logic, then the gov't should outlaw all motorcycles, seeing as how they produce a disproportionate amount of serious accidents and consequences, such as higher insurance rates (tho motorcycle insurance is different) or ER visits. Of course, that won't happen. Again, it is not the gov't's job to protect you from yourself.

The job of the government is not to save you from yourself. If you want to go riding without a helmet, your choice and risk.

I only know of one football, and you a few months early on that one.

None of us go through the physical beating these guys take for 5-6 months straight. Your body does need time to recover. As for your mind...how would you feel listening to Mularkey for 6 months? I thought so. Let the vets get away and come back refreshed and ready to play.

I'm with the Germans on this one. Bud is awful.
