Bad Things

Just f'ing stop, and find a hobby.

I had a very similar experience with my mother in law! Classic!

I just heard the sad news, and I'm crushed. I've been a huge Parrothead since the 80's and know that no other artist has had a greater influence on my life than him. His music and books were the biggest source of escapism on me, and I know damn well that I wouldn't now be living in the South Pacific if it weren't for his influence. That said, my wife and I are currently holidaying on the island of Aitutaki, which I'm sure Jimmy B would have loved. Turquoise water, coral sands, Bonefish and a history of seaplanes. We'll be heading out to the Boat Shed Bar in a few minutes to proudly raise our glasses high in his honour. I'll happily buy the next round if any of you care to join us. Thank you Jimmy for bringing so much joy and magic to my life. I will always be indebted to you. God bless. "Well now if I ever live to be an old man I'm gonna sail down to Martinique I'm gonna buy me a sweat-stained Bogart suit And an African parakeet And then I'll sit him on my shoulder And open up my trusty old mind I gonna teach him how to cuss, teach him how to fuss And pull the cork out of a bottle of wine"

Thanks for writing this OldManFan. I've been thinking about writing a similar post myself for a while now. I've been a member of this board since day one, and cannot recall ever seeing this amount of negativity before, even through all of the drought years. I've lived overseas now for over 18 years, so don't know if this negative attitude is prevalent throughout the entire country or if it's just a local thing, but it's very sad. Looking back at my life, I can honestly say that the number one thing I've learned is the importance of having a positive attitude, coupled with gratitude. Without it, what's the point of living? You need to look forward to things, and then give thanks for those things once they've manifested into reality. The same holds true for being a Bills fan. Why spend your life being miserable? There'sa difference betweenbeing critical and being negative. (I'd be interested to know how many of these "negative Nancy's" never stuck their necks out to achieve their dreams, instead choosing to continue to live the same daily drudgery of life, over and over again.) Wake up, smell the roses and enjoy life, including this young exciting team that we call our own. I'm sure many of you will roll your eyes at this post, and even write a snarky reply, but I couldn't care less. I may not be a rich man, but I've lived a far better life than I ever dreamed of, mostly because of positivity and gratitude. I have high hopes for this season. However, if they crash and burn, I'll put it aside and then look forward to next year. Anyway... I wish you all nothing but the very best. Let's go Buffalo!

Somebody help me out. My wife and I are currently away on holiday, and I thought that I'd check in this morning to see if there was any Bills news. I log in, and I immediately feel like I've entered some bizzaro world, where people on this board are actually writing positive things about the team, instead of the incessant whining that's been predominant for the last few years. Don't get me wrong... I'm a very positive person, and love seeing positive things written... I just can't get my head around it. Why all of a sudden are fans so much more positive? Did they put something in the water? Are they dousing the air like Chemtrails with "happy drugs"? Or are the more positive fans (like me) finally speaking their minds over the negative Nancy's? Whatever the reason, I love it! Keep it up and ENJOY the ride! Let's go Buffalo!!!

Yeah, and we've read enough to know what kind of "fan" you are. 🙄

Talk you off the ledge? How about all the other negative "fans" join you, so the rest of us don't need to hear the incessant whining? I'll hold your beer for you, now jump!

That's a great attitude!

Somehow I know that some of you new TBD members will use this as ammo on why we should HATE and complain about the Bills management/leadership. Let's go Buffalo!

All the very best to you Murph! God bless

Oh, and my best pal Molly also says F Michael Vick!

F Michael Vick.

FFS, this board has gotten ridiculous.

I hate the thought of it. It only takes a random mishap of an over-amped opposing player (TJ Watt?) to do something stupid that would impact our season. I'm with JoPoy88 in that preseason games should be eliminated. Let's go Buffalo!

Well played!

Kia Kaha to my Pacific brothers and sisters up North.

I only got an error message from the danz app that said that the video from the Bills game wasn't available. It pisses me off because the NFL GamePass app always had problems, and I was really hoping things would finally straighten out.

Nope. Keep the 12th man.

That's very sad news to learn. God bless you Robbie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccJTFXvkXkA

I'm starting a new job next Monday, and just told my wife that I'm going to fill up my pockets with candy to throw around the office when I first walk in. They're gonna LOVE me!

My wife and I watched most of this last night. I know it's only the 80's, but what a totally different era. I forgot how much I used to love early Letterman and how big of a part of Pee Wee's success he was.

The thing is... we were actually better a couple years ago. 🤷‍♂️

Happy birthday and God Bless you Marv!

I forgot he also had a bit part in The Blues Brothers.

RIP Pee Wee! One of the all-time classics. I remember really liking his original stage show that was on HBO, back in the early/mid-80's. Pee Wee's Big Adventure remained one of my favorite movies since I first saw it in the theater. (Tim Burton's first film.) It was just so different and full of creativity. I remember enjoying it so much that I took one of my best mates from school to see it. He actually fell out of their seat and rolled in the aisle because he was laughing so hard. Pee Wee's Playhouse was also great. Those were my first years of college. Every Saturday morning, we'd all trudge down to the dorm lounge to watch it while, nursing hangovers, and processing the stupid things we did the night before. It was the perfect show for a hungover Saturday morning at college. God Bless you Pee Wee! https://clip.cafe/pee-wees-big-adventure-1985/francis-busy/
