  1. All that for health care and you've still got that giant pain in the arse-Hillary!
  2. Thanks, but we were 0 for the 70's against Miami! Not to say there weren't some close games, but those were not the best of times.
  3. He was flying a "homemade, non-registered, experimental, ultra-light plane" so no NTSB/FAA investigation. I thought he had a Gulfstream V
  4. He had a TV show on Saturday mornings in the mid 1950's. He was very funny and very hip for the time. He had "Jerry Mahoney'' & Knucklehaed Smif as his main dummy characters, and he didn't move his lips! I had no idea he later worked for Disney.
  5. I lived in Houston for 4 years and I had to drink a lot just to put up with the place!
  6. If it's true, and if you're inclined to want to go, you better be ready to jump on the tickets right away! They had a concert at University of Virginia and the tickets sold out in less than ten minutes! The reason they sell out so fast is that Ticketmaster etc. buy up huge blocks, mark them up a lot, and freeze out the individuals.
  7. I don't disagree, but you have to remember that Bud Adams is a nut case! Thank God he didn't own the BILLS, or they would have left WNY years ago. If Bud is so high on Travis, let him make a deal, but absent that, he can't be trusted.
  8. It's very rural! If you're going to school there, I don't think there would be a lot of distractions. The biggest city near there is Roanoke. It's in the mountains of Virginia, so it does get pretty cold in the winter, but It's nice in it's own way. I think they still do some coal mining out that way. I would guess a 10-11 hour drive from BUF. I don't know about living costs, but considering its location, I would guess not bad!
  9. If you're in the Hudson Valley you'll save a ton on taxes by moving south. The down side is McLean is where Ethel Kennedy etc. etc. live(d) soooo while 60K is very respectable, it's not going to get you into McLean absent a BIG down payment. Having said that, get used to the Commute from somewhere. RT 7 W of McLean is a Beeatch. I-66 towards Manassas is not too much better. The big question is what hours will you be working? If you can somehow tele-communte or work "off" hours Loudon or Clarke Counties are doable. There are some that go out as far as Winchester VA. & Gettysburg PA. I know that sounds obsurd, but that's where they can find a place that fits their needs and is affordable. The sales tax in VA is 4.5%, the state income tax is not too bad, and you're not supporting the Hildabeast in NY. state. Good luck! It's a big decision, but the farther S of NY/CONN, you go, the more you will have left in your pocket. N VA has 2 Wegman's and with Direct TV, it's better than "home."
  10. The question is: "Throwback" to what era???? The 70's w/O.J. when we went 0 for the 1970's agains Miami??? I think they're a jinx! What team ever wore them and performed well? Remember the Steelers & Lions??? They were the worst! If collectors like them that's fine, but if the BILLS were them and lose how nostalgic will that be? Trying to live in the past is always dangerous.
  11. There parts of S Virginia & N Carolina where Smokey & The Bandit is still playing!
  12. 20+ years ago I had GEICO and decided to buy a new 280ZX. I called asking how much, got a writtern quote, and 1 month after I got the car they dropped me because they "don't insure sports cars." That was despite their written quote! To each his own, but I wonder how they stay in business!
  13. Having had to live in the butt hole of the universe...a.k.a. Texas, for 4 years, I believe that the 5-27 record was what did him in, and the marketing thing was just the phony reason they went with! If he was 27-5 he could have sold crack outside of W's back door and everything would have been A-OK!
  14. Michael Moore or not, I love the scene where Dan Akroyd stops the garbage truck and makes them translate all the graffiti into French.....so as not to offend "Le Quebecois"................Priceless!!!
  15. If Greg is involved the "Just dosen't make any sense at all" may make some sense after all!
  16. I'll bet if we get Shelton, he dosen't make the team!
  17. Bledites or So-So's??? Where's Billy Joe Hobert when we need him????
  18. That's really good! That site has a whole lot more that go back a couple years.
