Because nowadays there are too many people that have the following attitude (no disrespect intended against this poster, but just pointing out this attitude is more prevalent than in 1967): " So yesterday I met some friends at my local bar, and there is a father there with his young daughter sitting on a barstool at the bar. WTF? A child never belongs at a bar! A bar should be a place where you can drop F-bombs, tell sordid stories, hook up with a cutie, discuss whatever topic you want no matter how inappropriate, etc- and not have to worry about a child sitting next to you. Take your kids to chucky cheese, not a bar! "

Went to the last Super Bowl in Atlanta after the 1994 season. Took a charter through Small World Travel. They couldn't get game tickets at last minute and there was a huge uproar. We decided to go down anyway and try to scalp. The morning of the game, we met Tom Jackson in the ESPN hotel where they were broadcasting. Then we ended up sneaking past the guards into the lower levels of the hotel where some Chrysler dealers were getting their tickets. We scalped a pair for $1,000 each...paid in $20s. On the flight home we all decided to file a class action lawsuit against Small World. When we got off the plane, all the local stations were there and wanted to talk about the ticket fiasco. We weren't in the mood to talk, but when Gary Tuchman from CNN approached us, we talked. My buddy and I were part of a really funny piece they did comparing the first and second halves of the game. Still have the broadcast video...its hilarious. Features a couple fat guys in their underwear running thru the snow into a hot tub, and a bunch of drunks in a bar the next morning crying in their beer....literally. Sad situation, but definitely coolest thing I've done regarding the Bills! And we got a few hundred back before Small World went under....bastards.

Ha! Back in the day (1967-ish), my old man used to take me to Stockman's Tavern on Transit Road and he'd have the bartender put the TV on Channel 12 out of Erie, PA - trying to watch the Bills homes games through staticy snow. I drank orange pop and he did shots and beers. Never got out of control or had bad things happen. Still a nice memory! It was a different time. Not sure I'd do it today with my kid....glad I'm too old to worry about it! And food? Oh God...my mother used to make salmon patties pan fried in butter...and liver and onions....and potato pancakes, all for dinner. Still like liver and onions, and love potato pancakes, but salmon patties....not so much! She wasn't the greatest cook, but she was an awesome Mom. I miss them both!

Their new CD Ooh La La is available for listening on their website CTD website It's Beautiful was nice the instant I heard it; the rest.....well, it will be another entry for this thread topic!

Yeah, "Crazy Joe Moon" definitely took some time for me to "get". It's the only GLB CD I have.

I think the liner notes to Beat Crazy say something like: "In the end, we knew the album was doomed to fail. The question remains, why did we try?" ....shopping for Circus Money as we speak....

NICE! Thanks for the link....got the laptop playing thru the surround system....awesome.

Agreed - that one took some time to appreciate, but I really enjoy it now. Was looking at "Circus Money" just yesterday and trying to decide whether to buy it; just might check it out with your endorsement above! Two more (old ones): - "Beat Crazy" by Joe Jackson: took a long time to get over my disappointment the first time I listened, but after a couple years I gave it a few spins and now really enjoy it. - "A Worm's Life" by Crash test Dummies: bunch of very quirky songs about mundane stuff (garbage in a landfill, a pulled tooth, morning wood and of course, a worm's life). But it has grown on me and is pretty entertaining.

Some pretty cool stories/stuff mentioned here. I never had much interest in getting autographs, but I did keep a scrapbook I made when I was 9-10 years old for the 1968-1969 seasons. Newspaper clippings, program photos, stats....all crudely pasted and labeled into an aging old book. It's pretty funny looking back on my childhood and the earliest days of my Bills obsession. The 12-step program is working and I'm proud to say I'm powerless over the Bills and now I can just enjoy them One Day at a Time.

Classic....spewed my coffee on my laptop over that one. Just beautiful!

[/quote you guys just crack me up with your ignorance. schobel is done he does not want to play any more only with his kids. if you were smart enough to listen to him yesterday you would have heard him say he would only go to Houston but thats probably not likely either and he wants to retire as a bill. i know your not smart enough to understand this but he is a man of character and family. he has plenty of money and he wants to now raise his family in his little home town in Texas. is your head so thick that you cannot understand that? lastly MR genius what do you think the Texans would be willing to give up for him knowing he is going to retire and if he does play (which he obviously does not have his heart into anymore) he may play for the texans for a year or two maybe. I'll tell you what they will give us jack sh-t! guys like you are a freaking joke and obviously stupid also! Wow...it must be quite a burden having to set the world straight on every opinion you deem a freaking joke and stupid. Where do you ever find the time to work for a living or (shudder) raise a family? But thanks for setting us all straight on what Aaron Schobel is planning to do....it was keeping me up at night worrying about it!

Only the first two inches of her had been used by the time I got her

I remember him wearing 16 too, but according to the 2005 Bills media guide, he wore 21 as well.

Don't you remember? She wanted a guy with a bigger di%#....

Actually, it's my homage to my ex-mistress's in-laws.

Sadly, I actually remember all these: Number 7s: Mike Mercer Benny Russell Greg Cater Bruce Mathison Marv Bateman Grant Guthrie Number 21s: Bobby Burnett (Rookie of Year 1966) Tom Flores Art Whittington Chris Watson (Punt Catcher) Don Wilson

Now We're Talkin'!!

Agree wholeheartedly! I'm 51 years old, 6' tall and weigh 165 and I squat EVERY MORNING. That, and plenty of Metamucil, is how I stay regular. If I didn't squat I'd need a colonic.

OK I'm back. Looks like I win! Sweeeet!

I'm leaving. Be back in a couple hours. Leave the lights on for me huh?

Bet that'll leave a mark....... Video: Gored Story: NY Post

Apparently, from his avatar, because he rides the short bus.

Ha! check out the one he did for Ellis Lankster...."Like Ummm"

Yo! We need emergency aid, B word! The Bills are a disaster! Buffalo, N.Y. - President Obama has made a surprise stop for, what else, chicken wings! The President stopped at Duff's restaurant on Dick Road Thursday, just a short time after his plane, Air Force One, landed at the Buffalo Airport. Yes indeed, some people will say just about anything to get a hug from Barack Obama. Those words were spoken by Luann Haley, 45, to the president, during his unannounced visit to this local landmark. He replied by giving her a big hug. ("He gave me a squeeze,'' she said afterward.) She swooned and he said Michelle would be watching on television. "That's allright,'' Ms. Haley said as the cameras rolled. "Hi Michelle, eat your heart out." To backtrack, POTUS surprised many of what looked to be about 100 employees and guests when he strode into the restaurant, jacketless. He leaned over the counter; the receptionist Mary DiGiacomo, told him they had a lunch special but he demurred, saying he was in the car. He quietly placed an order. She tried to tell him it would be on the house. "No, I've got to pay,'' he insisted, pulling out his wallet, which sported a $5 bill on top. Your pooler asked the obvious: what did he get? "Wings!'' the president declared. "This is the wing capital." And so it is. A painted sign on the Duffs wall says: Duff's Famous Wings. Medium is HOT. Medium hot IS VERY HOT. Hot IS VERY VERY HOT.'' Mr. Obama ordered his medium, but was told halfway through his meet-and-greet that he needed to get them extra spicy. So he called out to the restaurant staff that he would have five regular, five extra spicey. They cost $10.82. Your pool did not see him pay. Ms. Haley was part of a large crowd of Department of Education contractors, who work next door to the restaurant collecting money on federal student loans whose borrowers have defaulted. They saw the Secret Service and figured something was up, so arrived en masse at Duff's. The President met briefly with family members of Flight 3407 crash victims. He's also making a speech at Industrial Support, Inc. on Buffalo's East Sid

Classic! It was worth wading through 4 pages for that one!
