  1. my exsupervisor at work was diagnosed with lung cancer in January and died 3 weeks ago. From what I've read it kills really fast.
  2. I haven't seen a band get booed off the stage yet, but my Dad (I swear he has a million concert stories) told me about seeing Mothers Finest get booed off the stage at the Aud once. Concerts back in the 70's sound like they were 1000x better than now.
  3. I don't even know where there is a Winn Dixie in Greensboro anymore...Food Lion dominates the grocery store chains here.
  4. Listening to the game on the radio with my Grandad in his living room. I still remember both of us sitting there in silence and smiling when Christie was lining up the kick and then going nuts when he made it and won in OT.
  5. Whatever it is, I'm not totally sure. For whatever reason, when my Grandparents moved her way back when she didn't become a citizen, although that might've changed since I was a kid. I remember her having to show a Canadian ID when we'd come back from visiting family in Welland that had a picture of her from when she was in her 30's. It's been a long time since I crossed the border for anything other than buying beer when I made a pilgrimage back to Buffalo and she was never with me for that.
  6. I guess the Union wages at the Ford Plant were better than anything Hamilton had to offer at the time. I think my Grandma is actually still a Canadian citizen or has a dual citizenship.
  7. My Grandad came over the Peace Bridge in the late 50's, but if he was closer to the Reservation he might've ran into a few problems.
  8. I'm suprised that with all the transplants living in the RTP and Piedmont Triad areas that there isn't a Wegmans down here yet. Although I do remember when there was a Hills in High Point, NC that bombed big time.
  9. watch him end up with 100 catches for 1200 yards and 10 tds next season....
  10. I wish they'd just leave it the way it is after today...I hate when it gets dark at 5:30.
  11. Some more Mitch Hedberg material...funny stuff "if a pizza restaurant takes competitor's coupons, I'm going to start my own pizza restaurant called Mitch's Pizza. Then I'll have coupons like buy a pizza, get 8 free, or buy a piza, get a free pizza oven! At the bottom of the coupon, it will say this coupon not good at any Mitch's Pizza locations..." "The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I'll never be as good as a wall." "I think fooseball is a combination of soccer and shishkabobs." "I had a bag of fritos, they were texas grilled fritos. These fritos had grill marks on them. They remind me of something, when we used to fire up the barbeque and throw down some fritos. I can still see my dad with the apron on, better flip that frito, dad, you know how I like mine." "I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner. Because I wanted to clean it, and now I have little bits of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips..." "I hope the next time I move I get a real easy phone number. Something like, 222-2222. I would say sweet. People would say, "Mitch, how do I get ahold of you?" I would say, "Press 2 for a while, and when I answer, you will know that you have pressed 2 enough" "I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. "Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Boy, you really like Tide." "An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience." "I like buying snacks from a vending machine because food is better when it falls. Sometimes at the grocery store, I'll drop a candy bar so that it will achieve its maximum flavor potential." "I wanted this candy bar in a vending machine and it was at location HH, so I went to the side and pressed H twice. ******* potato chips came out man, they had an HH button for chrissake - you gotta let me know. I did not learn my AA's, BB's, CC's. God God dammit dammit." "I bought this parrot, and he talked, but he could not say I'm hungry, so he died."
  12. Exactly...minor league sports aren't a civic pride event like the Bills, they're a family outing that families try to fit into their schedule.
  13. According to a Minnesota News Paper it's true... Full Story I got this username and password from Bugmenot.com: gorevidal@me.too bush666 That really sucks. RIP
  14. 16 years 8 months younger than Mike Tyson, age 38 and probably 100 bucks richer.
  15. "I got my hair highlighted, because I felt that some strands were more important than others." "I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." "I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too." "I don't have a girlfriend. I just know a girl who would be really mad if she heard me say that." "I think pickles are cucumbers that sold out. They sold their soul to the devil, and the devil is dill..."
  16. I think it's a joke....notice on Comedy Central's site is says March 2005 and not an exact date.
  17. Why not just send Dog the Bounty Hunter with his mullet and his wife with the big juggs over there?
  18. Not necessarily, Team Germany played a modified trap at the last Winter Olympics. Touch up offsides would be great, the NHL should've never gotten rid of it.
  19. Yup, the only reason they ever started enforcing it was to protect the goalie, well since goalies wear more equipment than riot police, I think it's safe to toss that rule out. Other than actually play hockey again, I'd I'd like to see the NHL do two things, call penalties (interference, hooking, and slashing especially) and do away with the trap/left wing lock/defensive systems that choke out offensive creativity. If the officials called the game the way it was supposed to be called and the league would reduce the size of equipment for all players, there would be no need for any drastic changes in the way the game is played or what size the sheet of ice they play on. People forget that the French Connection did their best work at the Aud, and the ice there was smaller than any other arena in the NHL at the time. I like no touch icing, unless there's an actual pursuit of the puck. When there are two players racing for the puck and the ref blows it dead, it really takes the air out of the game. I'd like a modified no touch system, where it's icing unless there is a player from the opposing team inside the blueline. If that was the case, it would be perfect imo.
  20. I like the idea, especially if they're not going to reduce the size of goalie equipment. I'd go with the 2nd idea, just make the nets a little bit bigger, the 1st idea sounds a little to weird, but there aren't any pictures to go by. They need to ditch the 2 line pass and ditch the rules on how much curve a stick blade can have as well.
  21. Confucius Say a kiss is just shopping upstairs for downstairs merchandise.
  22. Lean Mean Prime Time Hot Dog Grillin' Machine? I guess playing the nickel back for the Ravens wasn't paying enough. They're hot dogs. How do you screw up a hot dog? Who sat down and thought "Man, how can we make hot dogs easier to cook?" I refuse to believe it was Deion that brainstormed this gem. But it's still just as bad when you slap your name on it and endorse it. ^^ I didn't know Deion played for that team
