If the Bills move...do you follow?
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to Matt-05's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Extremely doubtful. I didn't follow the Browns when they turned into Ravens. I never went back when there were Browns again......At the moment though....I just want to be held. -

No way man. There is no evidence that mean vindictive bitches like other mean vindictive bitches. -
Ronald Reagan's 1961 Speech
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to murra's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Here is why you are stupid (I'm sure this doesn't cover everything). (1) Congress has the purse strings, not the President. (2) The Soviets were spending a huge percentage of their GNP (way beyond us) trying to keep up. (3) Don't try to explain the ECONOMIES of countries behind the former Iron Curtain (The smartest Economists on earth can't even agree about how ours works). (4) Military spending during the 80's helped working Americans, and no one else (duh). Before you head back to your own planet, understand this: The tax base during the 80's grew. Thank you Ronald Reagan for the the vision and the leadership. God help us now. -
Predictions for the season?
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to YellowLinesandArmadillos's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Way to go out on a limb. We're always 7-9. -
Schedule...
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to Cheeseburger_in_paradise's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep. Should cut down on any jet lag. -
No west coast teams at all. The Bills only leave the eastern time zone once, for a game at KC. Everything else is on the east coast. I wonder if that matters any.

Favorite Teddy stories
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to ieatcrayonz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Kennedy's womanizing ways are a Washington legend. When a supermarket tabloid published pictures of Kennedy getting "amorous" with a woman on his sailboat, one of his colleagues (Senator Howell Heflin) remarked that it appeared that Kennedy "had done changed his position on offshore drilling." In 1985, he and Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd allegedly made a "waitress sandwich" at a DC restaurant while their dates were in the rest room. -
William Calley Finally Speaks
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to blzrul's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
He has not changed his story. He still says he was following orders. That's what good soldiers do. Calley got screwed. I know a guy that was there. What a mess. The fog of war. -
William Calley Finally Speaks
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to blzrul's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
March 16, 1968. Why is this news? From a historical perspective , village massacres were quite common during the Vietnam conflict. Usually perped by the NV, not the Americans. That does not excuse Calley, or any of the others that got off scott free. -
I think he is going after that record. You know...the one by Sugar Ray Leonard for most times coming out of retirement.

Did I do the right thing?
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to SageAgainstTheMachine's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I think you used excellent judgment. Good job. That kid might go either way, but that's up to him. We need more traditionalists like you. Now if you see him doing something again, in your store, go get him. Two strikes and you are out. -
Anyone else in recovery?
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to gomper's topic in Off the Wall Archives
He did the steps program incorrectly was my only point. You should look into whether there might be a "jump to conclusions anonymous" club. But first you have to admit the problem. -
Anyone else in recovery?
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to gomper's topic in Off the Wall Archives
(9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. In other words, Don't try this at home, all by yourself. Or two or three heads are better than one. One of the points to all this is to use the wisdom, experience, and help from others. And besides that, making amends is not about apologizing. -

A.A. can't hurt. It may not end up being right for you, but you may still get some good from it. A 12 step program can be awesome. But it can be hard work, because it often seems to run counter to what society drills into our heads. As has been pointed out, there are lots of good alternatives. There is even an organization called M.M., which is about moderation. And there is no reason you can't take several approaches at once. I kind of like Al-Anon, because you can still do a 12 step program, there are more chicks, and you can still drink. DO NOT do a 12 step program by yourself, without a sponsor. I'm reminded of the guy who decided to make amends (step 9) to a women he date raped in college 20 years earlier, by writing a letter of apology. She turned it over to the police, and he went to prison. A sponsor would have prevented that. Anyway, just know...that you are not alone. One more thing, A.A. really is a great organization to be involved with. Some people pretend to be alcoholics just to be there. -
Harvard Scholar Arrested for Being Black
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to Fingon's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
"Tumultuous" behavior? Is that really cop speak? Christ, that word has four syllables in it. Be that as it may, why does this have to be about racism? Can't it just be about stupid cops, or the increasingly invasive police state we now live in? Stuff like this has happened to me, and I'm not black. That said, without being there, who knows what happened? Do cops make stuff up in their reports? You Betcha. Do arrogant college professors unjustifiably play the race card? Uh huh. -

Right. But he could have been bowing. -

Why Does Anyone Give A $#!+ About Soccer
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to Steely Dan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I think Columbia was the country where a returning Olympian was killed because he accidentally scored an own goal. Too much coffee I guess. -
Disney monorail crash
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Damn. It doesn't look like this kid did it on purpose. A train backing up?? At 2AM. Something must have gone wrong. -
Disney monorail crash
Cheeseburger_in_paradise replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I actually was a Disney monorail driver long ago. There is no way that driver fell asleep. About the only way that can happen is if it is intentional. You would have to override several mechanisms on purpose, have really long arms, while keeping a spring loaded circuit braker pulled, and have another hand on the dead man. At 2 AM, there's probably not another lead or supervisor on the platform to kill the beam if they see what's happening, as a last resort. Too many fail safe systems in place. Then again, it's been 30 years. There was another crash, in the days before me. No one died, but the driver was hurt bad. After he recovered, Disney transferred him to the Contemporary Hotel, where he served out his days a bellman. It was after that accident, that all the safety measures were seriously upgraded. Amazing, but on the other hand, it was only a matter of time. I knew that 30 years ago.
