More embarrassing ‘true confessions’
Guffalo replied to Ridgewaycynic2013's topic in Off the Wall Archives
When I was a sophmore in high school I had an accident during late summer and opened up my hand, torn nerves/ruptured artery, yada yada. Anyway I had lost the nerves in the hand and had no feeling, so I became quasi-left handed for a period of time. I stopped by my Mothers office at a school and was complaining to a cute girl who had been volunteering in the office for credits. She listened to me whine about how I can't do this or that with my right hand, and the feeling isnt back, just typical 17 year old self centered whining. She nodded in agreement the whole time. When my Mom came out to find me, I went to say goodbye to the girl and try to figure out if I had a chance. As she pulled away from the desk, I saw that her right hand was gone, she had a prothstesis on her right hand. I wandered off like I had been punched, replaying all the complaints I had just spewed about losing the use of my fingers and hand for a few months. I felt like such a doofus. -
The first one was done by my father, he did the covers of the programs from 1961-1964. He also did some of the signage at the Rockpile. Within the weekly programs, he did some Bills related stuff like cartoon bodies of the players in the Bill Cody gear with their headshots on the cartoon body. I used to get copies of all of the programs since Dad also was the salesman for Holling Press which printed the weekly programs. Around 1976, Mom in a cleaning frenzy tossed out "those old programs of yours" The second one is from the AAFC Buffalo Bills from 1947-1949. According to Dad, when the Buffalo Bills came back into existence in 1959, his boss asked him to try to get the Bills account, Mr. Wilson was planning on bringing back the old Bill Cody after one of the west coast teams (LA Chargers) used a version of it in their weekly program. They asked him to do one, and after Mr Wilson gave the approval, he would create a new one about a week or two before the game. I remember watching him draw them first in pencil, then ink, then with the 3 color transparent drapes that would be used for production. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/tag/kevin-weil/

Thanks for the weekly tally, and thanks Scott for doing it again this year. I still cant figure out how it dropped some games for me, Greybeards explanation didn't seem to work in my case, but I just figured it was the dropped week that threw off the counts.

Do you or your family save Christmas Cards?
Guffalo replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
We used to send out tons in the 80s and 90s, once the kids grew up it slowed down, now we have not sent any since about 5 years. -

Shuttle trip from Downtown to Stadium
Guffalo replied to CTBLO716's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My neice priced Uber to and from UB and it was $50 each way. I wonder why there is no shuttle service from downtown (unless some of the bars have them) -

This one? Very well done

Cute, but I question the ease in which she was able to attain explosives, kinda makes you want to sleep with one eye open.

I was hoping we could get a starting lineman and a first for him, I guess the market is a bit thick with quality Qbs. Honestly, If he had been managed properly, he may have had a chance at being a decent backup, just didn't play out that way. Not a bad guy, I wish him luck.

Sorry for your loss Jim, losing a parent sucks. As per your request, Years ago, while skiing, my Dad took a pretty bad fall, landing on his chest, with the pole grip against his chest. Good bruise, really stunned him. He said right then and there, "I'm done" In reality I think he realized that his kids were now better than he was and he was trying to keep up and thats what caused his crash. Anyway, the next day the whole family gets in the car to go back to the slopes for another day and Dad is in his gear, but didnt bring any skiis or poles, just his boots. I figured he would go back and get them after we were all booted up and out on the slopes. Every once in a while we would stop and he would be in the lodge, in his gear just checking out the snow bunnies (in the 70's they all wore the tight suits/pants). For the rest of the season he folowed the same plan, gear on, looking the part, just chatting up snow bunnies while we all skied.
