  1. That's my rule as well! If My Cousin Vinny is on that becomes what you're watching regardless of how far you're into the movie and how much time remains...
  2. Yep - this is probably the 20th time I've had to do this and the prep just sucks - no way around it. Jut pissed that it lined up with the draft - really puts a damper on enjoying watching the coverage....
  3. I have to prep for a colonoscopy on Friday morning - can't eat anything and will be spending quality time in the bathroom #worstdraftwatchpartyever Don't get old, kids - it sucks....
  4. Nothing from the Bills that I've seen but I did get an e-mail from them acknowledging today as National Pet Day, so that speaks volumes...
  5. The farm film reports with John Candy were always fantastic - blowed up real good!
  6. How could you forget Love at First Bite? A cinematic masterpiece from 1979 starring George Hamilton!
  7. My wife works in hospice, although not in any capacity that deals directly with patients. I have, however, met lots of the hospice nurses over the years and they fall into 2 categories - newbies that are less than 5 years into it, and folks that have been doing it forever. It's one of those jobs you decide it's not for you and move on to something else, or it's your calling and you're lifer. The people that have been doing it for a long time are unbelievable - they truly have a calling for the work and wouldn't do anything else - really dedicated people who truly believe in the mission of hospice and providing end of life care - they understand the value they provide and that's why they do it, but it's certainly not for everybody.
  8. My thought exactly - that didn't work out too well for us...
  9. Buffaloes will be 16 feet tall but will have "emotion". I feel like David St. Hubbins when mini Stonehenge was lowered to the stage...
  10. These were my last 2 college years and my fist years on my own - wide right was my Junior year. I remember a bunch of us going to a student's house in Cooperstown, NY to watch the first Super Bowl - probably about a 2 hour drive. I remember after that ball went right we made the drive back and I was completely silent - I'm not kidding when I say that I don't think I spoke at all for at least a day - almost felt like Cameron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off when he went catatonic. Washington loss was my senior year and I remember one of the girls in the apartment across the hall was from DC and was a casual Skins fa. I remember thinking how unfair it was that this casual fan got to know the joy of a Super Bowl victory when I, a die-hard Bills fans, lost again - seemed grossly unfair. By the time of the two Dallas losses I had just learned that the Bills were eternally cursed - a Charlie Brown organization is there ever was one. The Smoking Man on the Xfiles was real and there was a deep conspiracy to make sure the Bills never won...
  11. What even IS a "fake slide"? A running QB isn't allowed to hesitate or move laterally, they just need to run straight forward at full speed or be flagged?
  12. Len Bias was a good mascot for never wanting to mess around with that stuff...
  13. Anyone who likes Pop Tarts should check out how they came to be - fascinating story. One of the biggest blunders in business history by Post lead to a multi-billion dollar product for Kellogs. Great episode of the Food that Built America on History Channel - https://www.history.com/shows/the-food-that-built-america/season-4/episode-1
