I drove a golf cart 40 minutes down a potholed, crocodile surrounded dirt road to a place called Secret Beach. It felt like the edge of the earth. There was a bar there, though, called the Blue Bayou. I walked in to get a drink, and what greeted me, prominently displayed on the thatched wall? A custom made, full sized flag, with the Bills logo and the words "Blue Bayou BLZ. World's Biggest Bills Fan". We are everywhere.

RochesterLifer Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I know of a Bills fan who used to be in Athens. I lived there from '86-'88. It. Was. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Crete several times and Rhodes once on deployments back in the 2000s and both were amazing places. I would LOVE to get some fried goats cheese in Crete or the souvlaki pita in Rhodes again... highly recommend either 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was up in Greece Ridge Mall area I was harshly confronted by a gang of track suit wearing Jersey Shore look alikes for the offense of simply asking directions to the nearest gabagool. The kid with the blowout and wife beater informed me that I should not mess with him because his cousin Antony is a "friend of yous", which I understood to mean he is connected with some sort of criminal organization, and he will come whack me off upside the labonza. Understanding only about 5% of that exchange, I attempted to diffuse the situation by giving them all coupons for Spray Tan and complimenting their girlfriends mustaches and made my departure. A charming Snooki looking gooma tried to throw her tampon at my car as I drove away to a more civilized part of town. I returned home without gabagool and several coupons poorer.

Nextmanup Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 In May I was in Germany for a couple weeks. We were in Kiel, way up in the north on the Baltic Sea for a few days doing a boat ride. Some kid on a cold, gray, windy day wandering around near the harbor area was wearing a Bills baseball cap. I looked at him and said "Buffalo Bills!" with a thumbs up. He smiled and gave me a thumb's up. I really do think these fans are lurking everywhere. God only knows why! Well, at the moment, we do have a very exciting team, when we're really on. Playoff Josh 2 year ago was devastating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
