Caffe Sport in North Beach. A Sicilian restaurant, VERY casual with a limited menu. The absolute best pasta con pesto that I've ever had. Cash only. No reservations. You've gotten great advice from all of these folks. We've been going to SF for over 20 years at least once or twice each year but spend most of our time in the wine country. If you are into wine, PM me and I'll give you a long list of wineries that I'll tailor to the types of wine that you enjoy.

The problem is, your original logic on making your picks is flawed. Hence: you lose all season long and then would have lost the play-off games if you had you followed your initial analysis on each game. Perhaps you should take-up handicapping reality TV shows...save you a lot of money

My $.02: Minus all of the canine psychology, just keep your dog on a leash. I've been lucky with our labs and retrievers at our dog park as they have not been aggressive but I know that if they exhibit aggression, they'd be leashed, period EOS.

I also understand that Dell uses more "off the shelf" components while, Sony, HP and IBM use more proprietary components making them more expensive and difficult to repair. Someone with better understanding than me should comment but that's again, what I'm told.

I respectfully disagree, having had both in the past 18 months. While the Sony had superior graphic and picture quality, it was less than perfect for real business uses like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. My Sony was ok but I find my new Dell just, well...better. It's faster, smoother and just feels better when using regular MS programs. However, this just could be a XP vs. 2000 Professional issue too. Bottom line: I loved my Sony but really love my Dell.

I haven't had to use their support yet but am told that Dell is moving much of their toll-free support back to the USA due to a lot of complaints about their off-shore support staff (like: I can't understand an 'effin' word you just said!) Hardware is top 'o the line IMHO.

Namath... LMFAO!!!

Dell, Dell, Dell...Did I mention that I think that you should buy a Dell???

Duh... I know this is not a revelation but the darn Pats just keep getting the job done. Before this game I stated the obvious to my Vikes' fans friends: NE will stop the run and make Chopped Beef beat them. Rookie can't do it. I knew it, you knew it and the Steelers new it. Didn't matter. I dunno, it's discouraging to watch this again. Bills need to beat these guys our first meeting next year to have a chance...Darn, just a very good football team. I can't see Philly beating the Pats right now. Maybe losing their coordinators will make a difference in the future. At this point, it's hats off to NE.

I don't tip for carry-out and am not sure what "curbside" is. But like you, I'm curious if others tip for carry-out.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, don't ya think?? Nobody else even replied ( I think it's pretty sparse around here today) so I gave it a go. Maybe it'll help him figure it out. I dunno...

Has to be the same guy. As soon as I read this post, the guy's face just popped into my head but I never knew his name.

Try this link Johnnie me boy. Info should be found there. Cow bell thread link

Ok dammit. It's the 1964 AFL Championship game and my older brother had been taking me to just about every home game for several years. We are big underdogs against the Chargers. My brother and I are sitting in endzone seats (where we always sat) shivering through the first few minutes of the game. The Rockpile is at it's best: smells of hotdogs, beer, piss and cheap cigars permeate the place. It's looking like my beloved Bills are gonna get run on all day as Keith Linclon, the Chargers star RB is making some nice runs. On one play, Lincoln takes a swing pass out of the backfield and as he turns around CRACK!!! he gets laid out flat by the Bills nasty LB, Mike Stratten. The beauty of the Rockpile was that it was pretty tight as far as the seating went and also had acoustics like a tin can. The hit that Stratten put on Lincoln reverberated throughout the stadium and then the crowd went kind of quiet. The Chargers helped him off the field but the damage was done. Mike Stratten had broken Keith Lincoln's ribs and with that one hit, the Bills took over the game and completely dominated the heavily favored Chargers and won the first of two back to back AFL Championships. Those teams were awfully good and in those days it was like the BCS You'd never really know who the best team was because the AFL & NFL didn't compete against each other. But ask any Bills fan who watched the '64 & '65 Championship teams and they'll tell you that those two teams could have given the Packers, Colts and other top NFL teams of those years a darn good run for their money.

I remember seeing OJ play one time at the old Rockpile and I'm pretty sure it was against the Fish. Anyway, IIRC, it was 1969 and the Bills had pretty much used OJ as decoy for most of the season. It's snowing to beat the band (where does that saying come from and what does it mean??? ) OJ got the ball out in the flat and was pretty much immediately surrounded by several defenders. He makes a couple of unbelievable moves and like 6 guys fall down on and he's off to the races. This was a California kid who'd pretty much never played in winter weather. I said to my friend that this guy's a great mudder, borrowing a horse racing term. OJ was probably the best RB of all time on messy fields. He was uncanny in his ability to stay on his feet while making everyone who was trying to tackle him, fall down or miss. He was truly a pleasure to watch and every single time he got the ball the entire stadium would get electrified - he could break any play at anytime. That's how good this guy was. How sad...

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite sports experiences! As fans, the 400 pound gorilla was lifted off of our backs that day. I remember looking out into the parking lot at the 2 minute warning and not a car was moving, not one. The 10 years of losing to the hated fish, every imaginable way, had built-up tremendous aggravation & pressure and it all released that opening day. The fans broke out with a spontaneous chant of "we beat Miami" as the clock wound down. it was great! I didn't even leave the stadium until about an hour after the game ended. After the fans tore down the goalposts, they passed the cross bars up the rows of seats, hand over hand, to Ralph Wilson's box. He had them cut-up and they were used as giveaways on the radio if I remember. Adding insult to injury: the only place new goalposts could be gotten for the next week was from the maker who was located in Miami. And if you didn't know, a prime reason that they are the "hated dolphins" is because the Bills did go "oh for the '70s" losing 20 straight games to Miami.

My best friend and fellow Bills fan, bet $50 with me that the Bills would not finish better than .500 this season. He's pretty po'd right now. He'll NEVER bet against the Bills - ever again. He wants to take my money (sibling rivalry, sort of) but wants the Bills to win too. He knows that he wants Buffalo to win out but he's scared that they'll finish 9-7. He'll lose to me and the Bills would likely miss the play-offs. A double loss for him. Bad bet on all counts. My Bills brothers and sisters: If the game is that easy for you to pick and it means betting against Buffalo, pass on the game. It will be like blood money. Your team loses but you win a few bucks. BFD. I'd rather not win gambling on the NFL than bet against my team. It's not worth it. There's what, 14, 15 other games to chose from if you must bet the NFL. I just couldn't enjoy the dough knowing that I profited from betting against my Bills. It's like betting against a family member.

I really like Glenmorangie. I'm not as fond of all of their flavored varieties as I am of their plain old 10 year old. I actually like the 10 better than the 15 year. Smooth and tasty! Glenmorangie

ICE would have a friggin' stroke! He wouldn't be able to b!tch about MM & TD & DB. He'd have to LOVE those guys, man! If THIS team won a Bowl...Ohhh Myyyy Hey Iceman, what the heck WOULD you do if this team won a Bowl? I know you believe in your heart that it can't happen but....What if???
