Is there anything considered very Buffalo you don’t embrace?


Another Fan

Recommended Posts

I’m from New Jersey and never got into Springsteen, Bon Jovi, the Sopranos, and the shore to some extent.  Heck I root against Rutgers football more often than not…. Stuff considered very NJ by many.

 

 

 

Are there things considered very Buffalo you don’t care for?  I guess if you use this site the Bills aren’t one of them.  But I never seek out eating wings.  The Goo Goo Dolls I tried but couldn’t get into their music

Dude the Sopranos is one of the greatest shows of all-time!...and wings would def be a bigger priority if you lived in the Buffalo area lol

 

 

I definitely don't embrace the "table-jumping Bills Mafia" aspect of being a Bills fan

I agree with you that the Sopranos was a good show, but OTOH, I so wanted Tony and his crew to get killed in a torturous way, EVERY TIME I watched the show, because they were heartless killers.
 

Also agree with you on your second point.

1+2 - anti- Polish?🙂

 

The Poles have been conquered by so many people it is hard to be anti-Polish unless you are anti- self.

 

A joke I remember as a kid and no I am not Polish but my step siblings are half polish (Pokojski)

Try Monster Magnet and The Feelies- the two best things out of NJ that I can think of.

 

and no, I love everything about Buffalo.

I'm Polish and live in Cheektowaga. I love these two old jokes. 

 

Q; What do they call the elevator in the Cheektowaga town hall?

A: A ski lift!

 

Q: Why didn't they build the stadium in Cheektowaga?

A; Every seat would be behind a Pole!

I don’t embrace the term “Super Fan.” Just because you dress up in a costume and draw attention to yourself does not make you any more of a fan than anyone else. I have not missed watching a Bills game, be it in person or on television, in over 50 years.

 

Furthermore, there are many fans who have made all of the road trips for decades and taken in every Bills game in person. Those people are super fans. In fact, anyone who has stuck with this team, despite the Super Bowl losses and throughout the drought years, can rightfully call themselves a super fan.

Cheektowaga.   Land of the crabapple.

 

When the US embassy in Tehran got taken over by lunatic Iranian folks, I was serving as an attack pilot on USS Kitty Hawk.

We were in Subic Bay, the Philippines, leaving in two days for the US at the end of a long cruise.

Instead, we were directed to the Indian Ocean to make ready for a rescue.

 

Some school in Cheektowaga sent us a giant poster wishing us good luck and prayers.

The ship displayed it on our transit.

Thanks is all I can give.  Wish there was a salute icon instead,

Not far from the truth🙂 .In the 80s, the town supervisor and 6/7 of the councilmen had Polish last names. The one that didn't said his mom was Polish.

Blue cheese on wings.

 

I like my wings crispy and without any dipping sauce. Just shaken in a good wing sauce (Frank’s red hot is the best!)

 

I also laugh at all of the drama over Blue cheese vs. Ranch. I’ll never understand why it’s such a big deal to some people.

Because ranch sucks. It's like putting ketchup on a Chicago hot dog. 

 

On that note... I never really embraced Sahlen's hot dogs.  Skinless all-beef, kosher are taste way better.

The same reason it’s a big deal to people… Is the same reason it’s a big deal that you need Frank’s red hot

But it’s not a big deal to me if people don’t put Frank’s on their wings. I really could not care less what someone puts on their wings. I just mentioned that I like franks. But I also like lots of other wing flavors. Honey mustard wings made with honey and Carolina tang sauce (that’s the secret ingredient in a lot of the honey mustard wings in Buffalo) are another favorite of mine. BBQ are too.

UB college athletics. When I came from Germany to Rochester in 1990, Rochester embraced the Bills, but "our" NCAA affiliate was Syracuse (although I was never a very committed fan of the Orange). After moving to Lubbock, where college athletics are much more important, I turned to the home team, the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Now, that both of my kids attend(ed) UT and my son even played in the Longhorn band, my college sports allegiance is split.

The name “Bills Mafia”.  Never liked it and never will going forward. 
 

Weber’s Mustard.  🤢

 

The amount of time it takes to get things done in Buffalo. Canalside and the Outer Harbor should be done by now. 
 

WNY winters suck!

We grew up on the little weiner packs like Oscar Mayer. Those are truly terrible. So naturally when introduced to Sahlens, what a huge difference!  Loved them for years.

 

Lately, can’t stand them. Was turned on to Nathan’s all beef recently.  What a difference all beef makes.
