Bad Things

What the hell are you talking about?

One of the best days of my life. (The next morning at work? Not so much.)

Just wondering how things are going for you, up in the great Pacific Northwest. I saw that Portland reached 116 today. Yikes! If it helps cool you down, please know that the South Island (where I live) is experiencing an Antarctic cold front that's moving up from the south. The surrounding mountains are all covered in fresh now, and I'm sitting in front of my fireplace, trying to stay warm, with a snoring dog at my feet. Winter has truly arrived in New Zealand.

That's sounds horrible. Waaaaay too hot for this guy. I had the great pleasure of living in your neck of the woods in the early 2000's and can understand how unusual this is. Your summer has only begun, too! Stay cool, brother.

Hey, I just recently went backpacking in the area where they filmed some of the exterior Fangorn scenes. Stunning alpine scenery. I'm already making plans for next years trip.

I've been using NFL GamePass down there in New Zealand for years now. Overall it's great, but I have had a few issues with it over the years. After being all pumped up to watch last years AFC Championship game, I logged on to watch it in the evening (after the game was already played in the US) and was greeting by the final score on the front page. This after I had already changed the setting to show no scores. I still haven't watched the game. That said, I remember when I originally moved away from NY in 1990. For years I subscribed to "Shout!" magazine while living in Colorado. It was my only source of Bills news. How times have changed.

Thanks for sharing that. I really don't listen to much sports stuff from the US, apart from Bills related things. Mostly here on TBD. That said, I've really enjoyed listening to all of the Chris Simms/Josh Allen podcasts that posters have shared here over the last few years. I agree with just about all of his observations and opinions on Josh and eat up every word he says, when he gushes over what a stud Josh is. It is beautiful music to my ears. Let's go Buffalo!

It's free for those residing here. 😀

Speaking of maps... I ran across this article earlier this morning. Although it is from a Kiwi perspective, it offers a lot of interesting information on how global maps are/were drawn. There's also some stuff on how often New Zealand is left off of world maps, which is always amusing. (not a problem with me... the less we're known, the better.) https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/300328244/aotearoa-gets-left-off-world-maps--but-theres-a-simple-solution

Thanks Cole, just what this team needed right now. SMH

I'm with ya. We (New Zealand) had a chance to change our flag a few years ago, but wound up leaving it as is. I have a feeling that when the Queen passes away, we'll make a push to leave the Commonwealth, and when that happens we'll come up with a new flag. I personally think it needs to be a black flag with a silver fern on it. That's really how the rest of the world already identifies us. (Or maybe a black flag with the Eye-of-Sauron on it!) As far as the Bills unis go... I 100% love our current uniforms but would also love to see the 90's uniforms being brought back once a year. Do that instead of those stupid Color Rush ones. Let's go Buffalo!

Anything game worn by Bruce. Well, almost anything game worn by Bruce.

WTF?

RIP His appearances on Letterman were always really funny too. God Bless.

FFS... does everyone get irritated or get hurt feelings about every little thing nowadays? I couldn't care less about the Bills missing out on the opening game. In fact, I prefer us to remain "under the radar" for as long as we can. Just win baby!

I'd ask Anthony Dixon if he got the nickname "Boobie", because he likes them so much.

You think they'll play the Renegade song in Buffalo? (That was one of my 2019 season highlights.) https://www.facebook.com/Coldfrontreport/videos/mafia-takes-over-pittsburgh-the-steelers-renegade-song/545847472662123/

Tre-Day is the man. (FYI - this video was already discussed last year.)

Isn't that what we always do?

This reminds me of an ad that used to be on TV down here (NZ) a couple years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW4qptCre8M (Togs is what swim trunks are called down here.)

Woo hoo! New Zealand and the Cook Islands have opened up a travel bubble for people to travel without the need for testing or for self/managed isolation. (No cases of Covid in NZ or the Cooks) The wife and I were going to go last (southern hemisphere) winter, but it was cancelled. Fortunately, the accommodation providers kept our money, so we're going this August... exactly a year after our original plans.

Is her bank account part of the equation?

Hmm... not the most inspiring highlights in there. I wish him all the best though!
