  1. Raw wing prices have gone up 1/3 since last summer. 10# bags of frozen wings that were sold for $18 @ BJ's are now $24/bag.
  2. Pretty much. But it's late & I'm out of here.
  3. Boyst, was pretty sure the Harvest Moon was typically in October. But, now that EII supports that contention, maybe it really is in September. (Apologies EII. :p)
  4. You thinkit's bad w/ Bills fans, don't check out Sabres fans.
  5. Thought the one on Broadway in Alden was still open, but haven't driven past there in ~5 years. Not since LaPaloma's moved closer to the village.
  6. /thread Gilmour's the best. Knopfler's a worthy 2nd.
  7. Sadly, that was from the last administration's token "adult."
  8. In fairness, Ed Meese loved to say that until he needed to lawyer up.
  9. You must not have had your morning coffee yet. Only 4 incorrect items in your first paragraph; but don't worry, we're sure you'll be able to up that count once you're back on your game. But, yes, the Sabres played very well last night, which was a good thing.
  10. Were it your lawyers, that could be a very effective strategy.
  11. That bolded kind of makes sense, though your final point makes it more than a bit of a WTF.
  12. WTF "great art" does it create. What a sick bastage.
  13. It will.
  14. A pass w/ the public, very doubtful. A pass w/ their buddies, quite possibly. Which is why something to the effect of the bolded would be necessary. And as I'd stated earlier, not sure if an agreement/ condition such as that would remainin effect after a pardon was granted.
  15. Pretty sure Marv Albert went right back to work for NBC after he got out of jail. These people have powerful friends that would be fine w/ bringing them back after something else becomes the news du jour. Thisis still America & they'll find folks that would allow them to show they've reformed if they aren't explicitly barred from returning.
  16. Provided there is also some sort of lobbying/government employment ban associated w/ the plea deal, that would probably be the best option. Not sure that ban would survive after the pardon though. Will leave answering that to someone more versed in Con Law.
  17. Absolutely, if this stuff is true that question has to get asked and answered. Absolutely hate the idea that some (heck, any) are above the law & maybe the people that were bright enough to bring this into the open (again if it turns out to be true) can figure out how to punish the transgressions without fundamentally changing our republic. But not sure that our current leaders are up to that task. If they aren't, is it better to have the crimes brought to light but not punished (similar to the way South Africa ended apartheid) as a teaching & concilliatory gesture or is it better to punish them all & let the chips fall where they may. Don't have that answer.
  18. Even if these accusations turn out to be true, they'd be entering truly uncharted territory by indicting a former President. Not sure whether that would be the right way to go as it would seriously undermine our tradition of peaceful transfer of executive power. Feel similarly about potential indictments agai nst the last Democrat chosen to run for the general election. We're in a real bad place if 1/2 these accusations pan out. But it truly is fascinating reading.
  19. True. But in the British sense, it's also a meal.
  20. Led Zeppelin - Tea for One Hot Butter - Popcorn
  21. Oh, come on. What good, hard core, rich democrat unhappy about his/her federal taxes going up wouldn't want to double down and guarantee they get audited, pay those same taxes (eventually) along w/ penalties and interest and if they do it often enough also face criminal charges?. Looks win/win from here.
  22. Saving this one for posterity.
  23. Vikes. Them beating (preferrably) the Marrone led Jags at home would be sweet. Beating the more likely opponent - the Cheatriots, would also be good thoygh it would mean we had to watch Belicheat & crew 1 more week. If the Iggles beat the Vikes, the Go Iggles.
