Marv's Neighbor

Rent a car! You can't travel that far and be so close to two WEGMANS without stocking up!

That's probably easier said than done! I'll rely on the fans who still live in WNY to identify the possible high rollers. Has anybody approached the Seneca's? They could turn the fieldhouse into a mini-casino and COMP the game tickets to their loyal players, enclose the RALPH with no windows and no clocks-except the Game Clock-so they could sell drinks after half time, and even offer a free tank of gas for the long drive home. Don't forget TOYOTA. Didn't they buy up some remaining tickets last season so a game could be televised? They already have a truck called TACOMA, a big seller with the Seahawks fans! Whu not a new SUV called the ORCHARD PARK, or remarket the AVALON as the DELAWARE AVE.?

Who picked up the check?

Remember, after the game, tell everyone you're "GOING TO DISNEYWORLD"

He's a solja!

Absolutely Not! Just longing for something to be Positive about. After: 8 and 8 with Wade that looks good now! Greg Williams/Kevin Gilbride/Tom D./Surfer Dude/Drew/MM etc. etc. etc.

That's what I thought! Is that one of Detroit's better clubs?

More like the Pittsburgh Drum Roll!

I hope PORKFACE aka Mike "The Genius" Holmgren gets his as* handed to him

Which one is Miss Daisey?

What does this person teach, GREEK?

Looks like a "hot dog" player to me! I think his first name is TED.

I guess someone's got to carry Greg's clip board!

It's nice to know there are some who are worse off than we are!

Modrak was seen at one of the Early Bird Seniors' buffets...and yes he had a coupon!

I believe that TD was "blown away" by Greg Williams' interview.

I'm still holding out for the Kato pic's.

I look at TBD for news and then over to the Wall, but NEVER post anything from work. Seems like all the best topics get posted while I'm unable to join, but my employer is too anal to understand!

Is that the old fart who coaches the WING-T???

I'm waiting for Sean (hey I'm not wearing pants) Salsbury to make the Final Announcement!

You are entering the Twilight Zone!

I understand the Green Bay deal is a grandfather type issue and the NFL no longer permits publicly owned teams. It's a very exclusive Boys Club and that's how they end up with many of the inbred idiots that own the teams.

Time for a SNICKERS!

So now after 5 years of Pittsburg cronies/cast-offs we're going to hire all the Chicago rejects? How can anyone feel good about this?

To the citizens of the United States of America: In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (excepting Kansas, which she does not fancy). Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise." You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra'; you may elect to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you find you simply can't cope with correct pronunciation. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up "vocabulary"). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. 2. There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize." 3. You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above). 4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only in England. It will be called "Come-Uppance Day." 5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun. 6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. 7. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. 8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling "gasoline") -roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it. 9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar. 10. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers. 11. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." American brands will be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. 12. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. 13. You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of proper football; you call it "soccer." Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the "World Series" for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. 14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. 15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due backdated to 1776. Thank you for your co-operation.
