sfladave Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Did they mention, "When Hell freezes over..." It has been mighty cold lately. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I won't hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 What are they going to have, a 15 game season then 2 months of playoffs ? and the Sabres STILL won't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickJames Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I really hope they can get their stuff together. The only thing I am not looking forward to is all the duche bag local sports writers who think they are funny and creative when the bust out the "GAME ON" headline.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 No salary cap=no NHL. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 No salary cap=no NHL. It's that simple. 220163[/snapback] I agree. Seems that's the only way it'll survive. This thing may get done in the next week or so, but I'll guarantee that another lockout will happen again the minute after this agreement expires. This will NEVER be settled unless an arbitrator gets involved. Both sides are too stubborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 And they'd probably raise ticket and concession prices through the roof. 220191[/snapback] They charge $4+ for a large pop. The cup and syrup probably cost .10 cents combined. You're absolutely right, raise the concession prices. Whether at the movies or any arena event, concessions are a huge money maker for all parties involved. Excuse me, I'd like a bag of M&M's. Which one you say? The ones that cost me .75 cents at any store, that you have marked for $3+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 B word all you guys want, if these idiots can get together and put together even a 20 game season, the first thing I'm doing is calling DirecTV to make sure I get all of the Sabres games. Oh, and no one is forcing you to buy the $4 sodas or the $9 beers. Just like at the movies. You pay $5 for a bowl of popcorn that literally costs $.30-$.50? We've always said a shortened season is in order. Let's do it! God, I miss hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cup actually costs more than the syrup. At least it did when I used to deliver pizzas and the owner told us we could drink all the soda we wanted, but had to use reusable plastic mugs (that he got for free).

If you ever go to a BK and order a Value Meal, the cashier will ask "Do you want that Large, or King Size?". The funny thing is, the price you see up there is for Medium. Yet, they aren't being deceiving, they are just asking "Do you want Large or King Size?" Depending on your tone of question, that goes from sounding like it's your only two options to 'do you want to upgrade'. Anyway, you are still getting the SAME sandwhich, getting possilby 10-20 more fries, and a bigger cup of something that is as close to free for them as possible. I took a class in college, and the professor gave us the actual numbers, which I'm pissed that I forgot, but i believe a "regular" soda costs the fast food restaurant around $.03. Making it the largest size makes that go up to about $.05. Yet, you just paid another $.40-$.80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of popcorn, I learned the "secret" of movie popcorn. I purchased a Whirley-Pop popcorn maker on the advice of Fezmid, and ordered some of their "Real Movie Popcorn", which is a compartmented package of oil and popcorn/salt, like the old brand, TV Time. The secret is coconut oil - which leads the popular oils at a stunning 94% saturated fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
