  1. Well there's a promotional pic I have never seen before! I think she got hotter as she got older.
  2. I get your point!
  3. Agree on IF They can pass 9 months in a blink, our time. It's a matter of intent.
  4. She did that so Euron will think the child is his when the child is born.
  5. Dodger fan since 58.
  6. In high school and a few years past that, my friends would play a game called Motley. Basically it was football, which had to be played in the snow or mud, with no passing. Obviously named after someone in your post.
  7. I would have thought Sanders being in the passing era would have opened up the game for him. However, he played for the Lions and I don't think they had a passing game. For me Barry was the better running back but Brown was far ahead of the other players of his era. Kind of like Babe Ruth was far ahead of the other players in his era.
  8. Whether cold or fever I would take what I called the "Cure." Half gallon of Orange Juice, go to bed and stay as warm as possible. I was never quite sure if it was the Vitamin C in the OJ, the liquid or the sweat it out, but it seemed to work.
  9. I can't believe there is somewhere in the US where the bill is 8 times what is normal. My January Bill had 5.5 cents per KW for supply and 5.5 cents for delivery. There is also a $17 dollar base for delivery so the total was was $94.17 for 735 kwh or 12.8 cents a kwh. It varies from month to month and IRC, it has been 15 cents sometime during the year.
  10. "Steel not till 19 zeros." Are you on a first name basis with the 20th century?? I sometimes think about the "what if the auto industry was in Buffalo." The way Detroit turned out, Buffalo may have escaped a long term problem.
  11. You have to pay for the Romans! There are no statutes of limitations on this.
  12. There were some pretty impressive homes on Delaware Ave. I don't know the city that well to say if there were any other area's like that. I think we lose sight of just what the Erie Canal meant to the area. It was "the" highway to the west at one point. You can see that on the map as the mountains to the south blocked easy access.
  13. I found this interesting. Watch the population growth up the Hudson and across NYS, especially after the Erie canal was completed. Also of note is the rush to California in 1849. Don't miss Alaska and Hawaii at the bottom left. https://www.vividmaps.com/2018/02/animated-map-population-density-u-s-1790-2010.html
  14. In my view it was not the same, but since I don't know if any other basketball player has made the transition, I chose a comparison I could make, although I understood it was not the best. In the Peters case, it turned out to be a great player but even a decent starter out of free agency is good. I believe other basketball players have been drafted but I have no recall on how any of them worked out. My question was a simple, is the guy possibly good enough to make it and if he had no other plans, I thought it was worth the risk as an undrafted FA. The fact that he was playing for UB made it a little bit more interesting. When if comes to drafting guys and changing position, the best change of position in Bills history would be Robert James. When it comes to players making the team, I agree it is a long shot for someone not in the sport to make it. A much longer shot than someone already in the sport. I have always been of the opinion that even those players most fans think are bums have accomplished quite a bit. They have made it in a league against the very best. Even is they do so for only one year. If they do it for more than that, more power to them. And that holds for any pro sport. So, if we were talking odds, yes the odds are very long anyone not already playing in a sport can make it. Interesting how, in some posts, this has drifted into the who to fill the TE position with. It was never meant to be that.
  15. This wasn't about displacing anyone in the regular draft. This was about does the guy have the talent to succeed and if so take a shot with him as a FA. Like they did with Jason Peters. Don't know how you managed to read anything else into it. ...SMH... I don't know if he has plans to try to be an NBA player but thought maybe someone from the Buffalo area might have heard something with respect to that.
  16. I wonder if Nick Perkins from the UB basketball team would be a good TE. He probably would be available as an undrafted FA. I think he is worth a shot.
  17. Within the last 3 weeks I saw an episode of "Have Gun, Will Travel" with him in it. Maybe this is not so surprising as Gene Roddenberry was a writer on "Have Gun ...", so that makes the Star Trek connection.
  18. There was an episode of Star Trek where a serial killer spirit jumped from body to body.
  19. I am partial to UK detective shows, and Broadchurch is a good one. You might try Happy Valley, Hinterland or Jack Taylor. They all have the same feel and good plots. I happened to select Happy Valley because of the name and it wasn't anything like I expected. I wasn't expecting a detective show at the time.
  20. Mid 70 dollars roughly makes that $300 in today's dollars. It's a tough comparison because of today's phones, but that was roughly a day's work.
  21. Based on recent history, like the last 10 or 20 years, you need a new routine. And I always thought it was coaching.
  22. When I read anything about energy the first thing I want to know is, how efficient is the process. Sadly no numbers here. But that and the recent "60 minutes" where an inventor can turn plant tissue into energy indicate there are some interesting advancements coming down the pike. I wonder how long the pike is?
  23. When I saw the title I thought this was a car post. In which case I would bet she is an expert on "bumpers."
  24. I don't see anyone mentioning balut. It is/was an egg.
  25. Larry Sanders Show, one of the best comedies ever. Such a great cast.
