Pre-prohibition? How would you know, I didn't think you were that old. I think there was an entire thread on Vernor's once. Sadly, you have just ignited a craving for Vernor's and Ice cream.

If you hate the Bills why are you here?
Greybeard replied to oldmanfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Have you ever known a guy who does nothing but complain about his girlfriend to the point you think he will quit going out with her within the next week, and then two weeks later you found out he is engaged. That guy is the same as the guys you are talking about. Love can be a funny thing to some. -
Funny song and video.

I only use Mobil 1 synthetic oil now. I don't change the oil myself anymore but use a guy who does it to earn extra income. He has a lift in his garage. I change it every 7000 to 8000 miles. The oil is really cheap if your willing to do rebates. I have paid as little as $12 for 5 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic. Here is the current link. I keep an inventory of two 5 quart jugs for whenever the time comes. https://slickdeals.net/f/11889943-mobil1-rebates-started?src=SiteSearchV2Algo Years ago there was a regular poster here who informed my about slick deals. Fezmed where are you? Anyway, it is now an addiction as I do not buy anything without looking for deals here first. It has saved me a considerable amount. Of course it also costs me as I buy some things I might not have otherwise.

I just picked up a Buffalo radio station
Greybeard replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in Off the Wall Archives
In the 60's I would follow the Dodgers on a small transistor radio. Could never get LA, but I could get their games when playing Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis. I believe the station in St. Louis was KMOX. The St. Louis broadcaster at the time was Harry Caray. Today most people only remember him as the Cub announcer. AM is good for this at night. Not so much in the daytime. No skip. I also listened to WLS at night a lot in 65' and 66'. They were a lot like WKBW but they had a time every night they would play oldies, and I liked that. When I got to college I met a guy from NJ who listened to WKBW every night. He wanted the record "Thing of the Past," by the local Buffalo band ,The Tweeds." He couldn't find that 45 in NJ, so I picked it up for him. About 7 to 10 years ago, I saw a documentary on the Niagara Escarpment on either the History channel or Discovery. Up until then I thought it only existed in Lewiston. The funny thing about the documentary was it spent almost no time on the portion in Lewiston. Was interesting enough to generate an Internet search where I found this same map. That was one mighty big glacier. -
I have 10 oaks in the front of my house. You can imagine the mess. Yes they are falling like rain. I have been raking them up but 4 days later the ground is covered again. And a bucket of those things is heavy. Afraid to fill up a plasic trashcan more than half way. Also they appear to be bigger this year. I am in CNY and it has been kind of dry for most of the summer. But it has been very hot. "Only in the hottest years this happens. And this year, it grows hot."

HBO's Limited Series "Sharp Objects"
Greybeard replied to Fadingpain's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I have only seen the second to last and the last episode. When posters started saying it was not worth the time investment, I decided to not start watching but happened to see the second to last one so was committed to the final. After others have voiced their opinions maybe someone can explain the last scene. -
I totally disagree with this post. And Cobie Smulders sends her regards. https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/hottest-canadian-actress

She looks like the singer in Scandal in this pic. Good Bye to You. How about Mary Ann Fowler? That was Jaclyn Smith's name in the Breck commercials. She always looked great in those.

With returns like that it sounds like the cure for retirement income. However I would guess it would only be your retirement.?

I did a search on Lewisohn, which then linked to the Amazon. They had a few pages of Vol 1 you could read. Very interesting. They also had a intro on the English money system. I never realized Lbs, Shillings and Pence were not based on the decimal system at one time. That alone was a good read.

I just listed to this while cutting the grass the other day. Great album. And as I was listening to this I thought it could be my favorite. '65 was a pretty good year for music.

After I posted I thought I would look them up. That is what it says. Amusing in a way. I actually went back and deleted the post, and you replied after the delete. You must have been looking when I posted, as I can only see the second post. Thanks for the reply.

What is Cris Carter Talking about
Greybeard replied to Protocal69's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The second part of the video is interesting. Years ago someone told me you don't throw the ball, you pull it through. This is true of baseball, football, fastpitch softball, literally any throw. You can see this best with Javelin throwers. So the fact he keeps his foot on the ground does exactly what the video says, it allows him to pull the ball through using the ground as an anchor. Would be interesting to know if he does that every time. And thanks for the link. -
Star Lotulelei: Where is the Impact?
Greybeard replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills success or lack of matched up rather well with whether the Browns first or second teams were on the field. Just maybe, that has something to do with it. We are sure to find out in Game 1. -
He led the team to 3 points despite having some great opportunities. TT could have done that. The number one thing one announcer took away from all this was "he remains calm in the pocket." So the only thing I get out of that game is that it is interesting how QBs are perceived by the sports media.
-
Commenting on my own post??? It just struck me that my favorite line in that is "endeavor to persevere ." They must have been Bills fans.

I am with you on this. For many years, if I was channel surfing and came across this, I would stop and watch. Did not matter where in the movie it was. I always enjoyed the dialog.

Advice Needed re: Managerial Dilemma at Work
Greybeard replied to Fadingpain's topic in Off the Wall Archives
That note on checking who is present is extremely good advice. In all the phone meetings I have ever been a participant in, this was common practice, especially since phone meetings start with everyone logging in. A meeting with 30 people I would have thought he would have written down all the participants as they logged in, especially if he was a key participant. I would be willing to bet he does so in all future phone meetings. -
I guess that could make me a two time loser.?

I have to make sure my wife sees this.?

Thanks for the link. Doesn't appear to be in chronological order though. For bit it felt like I was 16 again,

Car towing videos from Dallas
Greybeard replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
That's probably the best you ever posted. Wasted 45 minutes. I never realized that is the way tow trucks worked these days.
