You choose wisely! “Clipley’s Believe it or not!” … only a face a mother could love… Irv is the man!

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

My nickname is a combination of several factors. First, my wife's nickname at work was "the woz." That was a shortened version of "the great and powerful woz," which was a riff on the Wizard of Oz's "Oz the great and powerful."

Throw in the late 1970s, early 1980s pop band Was Not Was, and it was only natural that I would be known as "notwoz."

I cannot let this slide by without comment. Don Was is  not only a musician but a Great producer. This is his select discography. I mean who hasn't this guy played with, produced for. And many probably have never heard of him on this board. awesome man!

Guys, c'mon...

 

Who was the greatest offensive lineman all time for the Buffalo Bills?

 

Andy Levitre??

 

In all seriousness, Billy Shaw and Joe DeLamielleure are the only two Bills offensive linemen in the HOF. Maybe it was Jerry Ostroski, as he is the only one who had "ski" in his name? Or Reggie McKenzie, where the end sounds like "ski"?

Back during Jimmy Griffen's time in City Hall, they paid a artist to do a neon sculpture installed by the entrance of the Kensington Expressway. It was supposed to be a "dancing figure to celebrate life." It was called Green Lightning.  The artist said it was a parody of Mr. Peanut. Instead , once lit, it was an animated dancing penis in a top hat. Jimmy wasn't amused and had the power cut and ordered it bulldozed in the middle of the night. The artist stood on top of the work and got a court order to stop the demolition. Fun time to be a Buffalonian. The piece is in storage now in Cleveland.
