  1. Okay, sticking with the helicopter game: 3 Dimensions!
  2. Dave can be pretty painful to watch, especially if he does not like his guest. But, I've been watching him for so many years, I give him a lot of latitude. He kind of seems like "uncle Dave." Leno, on the other hand, I find excrutiating to watch, primarily because his humor so often belittles others. I am regularly disappointed to see that he gets better guests, and has better production support on the Tonight Show than Letterman gets. I wonder if the Tonight Show costs twice as much to produce.... Just rating the person, not the show, I think Conan is currently the best.
  3. I recommend meting people online at a site like match.com. That's how I met my wife, and I'm now a huge proponent of this approach. Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I admittedly only read page #1, and now #7.... Take some time to mourn (drink), but then snap yourself out of it and don't get too down on yourself. Life's too short....
  4. With all these 3 and 4 year deals, it seems like a third or fourth of the team is at risk of being lost every year! When will the madness end? How can we remain competitive with the constant burden of retaining players and signing new rookies? Maybe we need to decide right now who's good, and lock them up for as much time as we know they have left in them as quality players, and find a way to keep the ones we're less certain of RFAs so we can cut ties with them if we want, or can retain them, without all of the financial obligation.... Nothing unusual is happening, nor do we have any reason to be more concerned than any other year. But, you're right, we are likely going to see the pendulum swing back to being worried about the defense now that we have inested in the core offensive positions.
  5. I think it's Adriana Lima.
  6. Gggrrreaauw! I'm sure you have it, but I can't see it even when you tell me! is this some type of Jedi mind trick?
  7. Yes, I was at both of those. Also one with CSN, if I recall correctly. I was playing hackey sack for 4-6 hours at each show. I believe the DVD show was the one where I got a horrible sunburn, and was very dehydrated (lost 11 pounds from leaving Rochester in the AM to returning around midnight). But, I had an awesome time. Not Fade Away at the end was great. I also remember everyone mooing and baaaing like cows and sheep while being hurded out after the show. Good times!
  8. I think the clear leaders for most archetypical villain are: Hitler, Satan, Darth Vader I can't really say best villain for Hilter and Satan, maybe worst(?).... I'll offer for consideration, Jade Fox (from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). She's the first woman we've mentioned. What does that say? Along these lines, I'll also throw out there the wicked witch of the west.
  9. Excellent. My favorite widely available: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Other favorites: Saranac Pilsner (when it can be found) Brooklyn Pilsner Another great one (though pricey): Spatan Anyone ever have Le Fin du Monde by Unibroue? It's great. But, be warned, it has twice the typical alcohol content for beer, almost as much as some white wine (9%).
  10. It's nice to be here.
  11. I'm suprised no one else responded. I thought that was hilarious.
  12. I'll be landing in Paris, then travelling to southern France. I would have watched and/or followed on-line, but instead will look for an American paper Monday or Tuesday.....
  13. I'm promarily an account manager for a small IT / consulting company. We're a SQL Server / Cold Fusion shop that sells to large companies (20K+ employees).
  14. Hey, congratulations!
  15. A couple points I haven't heard anyone mention: Travis is extremely strong. I think he bench presses 435 lbs. (Anyone else remember this?) Travis seemed to like contact and would often play stronger after he got hit a couple times. His endurance was good and he would often do well late in games when the opponents looked tired of throwing themselves at him. I'd say he hit as hard as most LBs, so if the hit wasn't square, he'd keep rolling, and definitely gave as many hits as he took. Negatives: as others have alluded to, Travis does not have good balance, or vision.
  16. starting the laundry dropping off dry cleaning going to work (prob 2 hrs) picking up spa gift certificate for wife's birthday grocery store more laundry lunch making "to do" list for trip to France in a week.... fun?
  17. I think I'm just a bit "sauced...."
  18. And to put a finer point on it, if there are going to be state of the art (expense) luxury boxes etc., the Bills need to pull from a larger pool of people and market to a larger fan base to maximize their earning power. Hell, I'm from SE Rochester and I love the Bills. Do you have a big problem with that, Live&DieBillsFootball? Are you too lazy to drive a little farther yourself, or feel like your Buffalo identity is being shaken by including us Kodak and Xerox children on your "team"? Let's keep the Buffalo name for heritage sake, but frankly, it takes the whole region to support our Bills. Go Bills!
  19. And adding on to this: We also play Miami in week 5 after they have a bye week 4 ...and San Diego in week 11 after their week 10 bye
  20. Yeah, and the week after they have a bye (and we don't).
  21. 35.... 82.5 My wife is 30.... 89.5. So now she's talking about what she's going to do in those last 10 years without me....
  22. How long ago did Sara say she was in the car accident? Locke said he was in a wheelchair for 4 years before coming to the island....
  23. My wife and I are going to southern France for a week and a half, checking out the Provence region mainly. For the last four days we'll be meeting up with two other couples, who are some of our closest friends, and will be sharing a house in a medieval city. Anyone have any suggestions for things to check out? I've never been to Europe and am very excited. We leave in three weeks. Okay, does that mean it doesn't qualify as a summer vacation?
  24. It doesn't sound like the two sides are far apart. Tell me Arizona would be okay with a player for player trade, but wouldn't throw in a swap or 6th round picks. They could end up swapping 3rd or 4th round picks on draft day....
  25. Couldnt find Dentist? I've had a root canal and have experienced the profound pain of needing a tooth yanked, so to an extent, I can sympathize. But still...
