That's actually not all that far off from Poz's old haircut...

I used to buy "Oui" for the conjugations.

OK, which one of you jokers sent Brandon/Jauron that copy of "How to win in the NFL with a weak-ass incomplete team and crappy QB's" ? You forgot to tell them it was GAG gift, dumas...

Yeah, negative 3 years too early....

+2 (well, except for the Texas part) TIA

If the refs really favored the Bills over the Fins this game then I say -- Good! Only 19 more times and we'll call it even for the 1970's

Anyone not have a new link that they won't PM me because I totally don't need one? TIA

I only recall two 3-and-out series this half, one of which we started on our own 15 (after the penalty).

Neither is having touchdowns nullified by dumb penalties...

The very first Defensive series after halftime (after our 12 second scoring drive), our D gave up a 6+ minute drive. They did it to themselves. Edit: oops, my bad. Our first Defensive series was actually a 3+ minute drive. The second Defensive series was a 7+ minute drive. Our 12 second TD drive was sandwiched in between. So those 2 series right there put us 10 minutes into the hole in TOP; nothing to do with the Offense.

For those who like the "defense is always on the field and tired out" excuse, I'd just like to point out that we're currently winning the TOP battle... ...the big question is can we keep it up after halftime ??

I hear that Air Horns produce good results.

That's offensive and terribly unfair....to dogsiht.

Don't go forgetting my favorite of the bunch: BillyJoeGunrack "Playbook? You mean that telephone book thing y'all threw at me my first day here? Wait, y'all were kidding when you told me to 'read' that, right? I mean y'all were just funnin' me right? No? Uh......" Hobert

I am in the foothills north of L.A. where the Station fire is now >20,000 acres, and the firefighters up here are also STUDS...The Engine companies on the ground are holding their lines and heroically defending people's homes. We are less than half a mile from one of the evacuation zones, but there's very little chance the flame-front could make it this far. (I've been watching it burn West-to-East along the ridge-lines for the past 4 nights.) The terrain here is way too steep to get into on foot to try to suppress the fire (it blew right through the dozer line they set up like it wasn't even there) so they've been attacking it primarily from the air - flying non-stop helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft for 3 days trying to keep this monster down. I was outside on my front lawn today watching the little tankers drop their loads, when I heard this huge roar and looked up.to see a DC-10 flying sideways through our little valley spewing Phos-chek or similar ..pilot must have thought he was friggin' Han Solo or something...crazy!

I was thinking that "BJ" sounded too much like.....BJ

...which will prove to be a fairly accurate barometer for the season.

We have a perfectly balanced offense: cannot run *or* pass We have a perfectly balanced defense: they can run/pass at will on us. Yippee.

Looking on the bright side, the Bills managed to avoid looking like chumps on national TV for almost 5 minutes.

Hmm, considering the state of English Dentistry, she'd probably have fit right in, across the pond. I'm fairly certain they never got beyond the Blacksmith & tongs phase over there...

I think the CARS program sucks and has nothing to do with trying to protect the environment at all. My 17-year old Saturn burns massive amounts of oil, spews heaven knows what horrors into the atmosphere, *barely* passed smog by a whisker and only because I disconnected the vacuum lines and stuck my fingers over the intake/outake ports for five minutes while the evap test ran, yet it's apparently not a clunker, because it got 28 mpg combined in 1993. But as a taxpayer, I get to subsidize the folks trading an 18mpg car in perfect operating condition for a new 22 mpg car. Yippee.
