Very nice work - thanks for your efforts

[OT - CANADA AND DENMARK]

Canadians did a great job in both World Wars, as well.  Fought like hell in Flanders, composed maybe half the convoy escorts and a good chunk of RAF Bomber Command in the North Atlantic in WWII.

 

Denmark, on the other hand, in WWII stole the world speed record for quickest surrender from the French.  They caved to the Nazis in something like an hour.

Gee - Denmark had a real chance - one border (no fortifications) with the Reich and surrounded by water on the other three sides. They did have a resistance along with a bunch of national traitors.

to take care of.

 

Anyone in need of a slightly used Miken Freak? 34" and 26 oz.... slightly stained.

Well, I guess if I don't know what it is - I don't need it

[Kids activities in Buffalo]

Actually we'll be in Niagara Falls for one day/night, then another day/night in Buffalo.

The Maid of the Mist is a definite must for kids (and big kids) - You can do it from the American side

[Just drafted my Fantasy team!]

it looks pretty good for July 24th!!!  Check back in  a month when 99% of the other draft take place.

 

I've never heard of a Fantasy Football draft BEFORE training camp opens.

Looks good except for the two QB's - a WR doesn't make a QB better - even Moss.

Oakland still doesn't have a ground attack -

 

Yep - I would never draft before T/C - ours is 9/5

 

Injuries - Injuries - Injuries

 

Troy Vincent on JP - go figure

[I think Bills should've followed Dallas' lead]

In case you didn't see it, Emmitt, Troy, & Irvin are going on the Cowboys Wall of Fame together.

 

Poor Andre's gonna get dissed again.

Andre doesn't belong with the other two

 

Until Art Monk is in the HOF - Andre shouldn't even be allowed to fill out an application

[Kids activities in Buffalo]

Other than the zoo, what is there to do in Buffalo with a 7 yr old and a 4 yr old?

389157[/snapback]

 

If you feel like crossong the border - Marineland is pretty cool

 

If you don't and want some amusement time - Fantasy Island on G.I. is low key for small kids - kinda similar to Seabreeze

 

The Miss Buffalo boat tour is also informative and cool enough for kids.

 

Then - Putt-Putt on Sheridan Drive in Tonawanda with a visit to Ted's right down the street - there are some things better than garbage plates !

[I Would Have Paid Money To See That]

Steeler fans need(ed) to suffer more.

[Is there something going on in Buffalo?]

What's up? All Hamptons, Red Roofs, Fairfield are filled for Saturday.

UB - particularly around the N. Campus is a beehive all summer - there's always something go on.

[The ESPY Awards]

Could the show be any lamer ?

 

Matthew Perry as host - even lamer than his jokes

[can someone explain the supplemental draft?]

most of the time players enter because they would have been considered academically ineligible, or ineligible for some other off the field problem...so lots of times (but not always) these are player with character issues...

Bernie Kosar was #1 in the supplemental draft (thanks to the Bills) - I'm not sure he was ever in court. He was eligible because he graduated late - after his class

[July Movies: F4, Chocolate Factory, & sleeper hits]

Anyone who thinks Hollywood doesn't make good films should see "Crash". It's pretty damn good. Maybe tries a little too hard, and quite preposterous at times, but excellent writing, directing, acting, casting, music, editing, etc.

Excellent flick -

 

I finally saw "Sideways" too - very differnet - but good and thoughtful

 

Also watched "Pure Country" (1992) this day with George Strait - weak script but a feel good story with a killer sound track !

[Special Version of "Airplane!" on AMC]

Special letterbox version with those "blurbs" about the movie running along the bottom of the screen.

 

And hey, it's "Airplane!".

I wrote in on my calender 2 weeks ago

 

"Don't Call Me Shirley"

[July Movies: F4, Chocolate Factory, & sleeper hits]

I know that wasn't in any of the movies - was that in one of the novelizations or comics?  That's a pretty solid quote....

378139[/snapback]

 

It is in Matthew Stover's book - one of the best SW novels ever - he got the screen play direct from Lucas - the movie was good but the book was better.

 

The angst of Anakin is laid bare -

[In-Law advice]

My MIL is pretty much the same and has been for 25+ years. My wife won't say no to her. I just make myself scarce when she's around. No need for a confrontation.

 

At least she isn't in the same town

[All 4 Super Bowls on ESPN Classic]

ESPN is showing all 4 Bills Super Bowl losses this afternoon (and I'm watching it with my father-in-law who's a Cowboys fan) - shoot me now.

 

Man, those were some great teams - it's painful to see them come up short time and time again and losing by bigger and bigger margins.

 

Our COX Cable franchise just added the NFL Network on July 1st and on July 2nd - all four Super Bowls - what a way to start

[Jersey Maintenance Tips]

[Jersey Maintenance Tips]

So i got a throwback McGahee jersey and of course something spilled on it immediately.

 

Is there anything i should know about laundering it?

 

I was gonna wash it cold/gentle cycle.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hand wash with "Woolite" - no dryer !

[Runaway Bride and Deep Throat]

Not a dime out of me.

How exactly do you explain that? Engine failure isnt going to cause it to fall out of the sky.
