I was Beef on Weck but changed when I saw the team coming together in their Blue Jerseys - aka The Blues Brothers. Loved the movie and Actually saw Belushi and Akroyd as The Blues Brothers in Red Rocks Colorado when visiting family as a high schooler. 

Red Rocks Amphitheater morrison CO. GREAT Venue. Living in CO I saw many shows there. The Blues Brothers live OH MY that is about as iconic as it gets.

Never heard of him. But now we all know!

 

 

Played for the Bills for a year, maybe.  And he wasn't 88 or 98 (whatever Goat's icon is wearing). So I'm thinking he is busting our chops.

I go wayyyy back to the BBMB. early 2000s.  Bad the same name there  My name is quite original.  TB for Tampa Bay. Bills fan, because I'm a Bills fan.  So clever

 

 

Ever been to the Buffalo City Bar and Grill in St Pete?  I was there several years ago and had a good time. Do you know if it is still there/good?

I believe it is. I'm a bit north of Tampa now so st Pete is a solid hour drive so I don't really spend very much time there. I love obriens in Brandon so.if anyone is in the area for a bills game, check out obriens!

Excellent tip. Thanks. I plan to hit TB Downs at some point, so may turn it into a weekend and catch the Bills somewhere out there.

Are you old enough to remember Clip doing Wegmans “Let’s Go To The Races” TV show?

Clip Smith and Wegmans … can’t connect that… I feel Wegmans wasn’t in Buffalo yet while Clippy was around … I must be wrong on that

O'Briens is right around the corner... been going there at least 15 years, for sure the place to go out and watch the Bills if in the area.

Many years ago, Jeremy White on WGR used to frequently talk about "the fun police" when those dreadful Bills teams would win a game or two but fans would say "yeah, but..." and not buy into it. 

 

We all remember the arguments "look, Jauron is 5-1. Scoreboard." vs "Jauron is a fraud and the record won't hold up" 

 

I just thought the phrase was funny sounding, and needed a screen name, and now I'm just used to it.

Originally "$2Donuts" to sort of show surety of opinion.

 

...then someone here referred to me as "Two Dollar Donuts" which sort of showed I went too far on a a name that I thought up in just moments and was too cute by half.  Not helped by the fact this person was a good friend of mine of this board.

 

modified it to what it is today.  I am honestly indifferent to it.

I'm pretty late to this thread because I took the weekend off from football, but...

I started out many years ago on the BBMB as Goganious, named after unremarkable Bills linebacker Pete Goganious. I think I just liked the way the name rolled off the tongue.

At some point, I had login issues with the name and the whole song and dance I was going through to get into my account didn't seem worth it, so I decided to start a new one. 

On the one hand, BBMB was pretty awful at that time. Poorly moderated, filled with trolls and idiots and doom-and-gloomers and awful, illogical takes. On the other hand, I love philosophy and logic. Aristotle, Plato, Kant.

So, Logic seemed like a good, simple, well...logical name to take on. My goal at that point was simply to make some logical, even-handed posts to counter all the over-the-top nonsense at BBMB. I kept the name when I came to this forum just so I could keep track of people that migrated here with me, and vice versa.

Mine comes from a Jimmy Buffett song. I may live in WNY, but my heart/ mind is always in the tropics. The tunes lyrics pretty much sum it up! 

I have a 21' Crownline and live in the FLX. Big ass Bills flag flyin' off the back. Your screen name is my favorite by FAR :)

Love the lakes, love a cold beer, and love my Bills :)

 

Josh is from Firebaugh, which sounds like Fireball, so.....it's my way of honoring #17.

I chose the name during the drought years because I was a fan in better days of late 80s when the SB teams were being assembled. The drought years and the utter dreck we were forced to put up with (including the nadir of the Bills in Toronto) made me long for a team with great players and quality and a coach who knew what the hell he was doing!! Lately though, Ive been loving "living in the present"!

I was a big fan of the Continental Basketball Association back in the day.

That was my nickname on all the CBA teams message boards we had a lot of fun on them.

People knew me by my nickname and called me that in person. Lol.

 

Glenn Hagan is still my all-time favorite basketball player.
