stevewin Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 What kind of hell-spawned balloons were these? - not only caused the original blackout but took out the backup as well? Sunday, officials quickly switched Ralph Wilson Stadium to a backup system, but the balloons also got caught in those lines. Later, a utility pole caught on fire, creating a third delay. This item also conjurs up all sorts of mental images: Tammy Turnbull, of East Aurora, left the game around halftime, after her husband, James, had his socks and shoes soaked with urine in a pitch-black men’s room. WTF? What the hell were those people doing in there - just whipping it out and pissing on anything that moved? Did anyone else who attended the game get urine-soaked?

OCinBuffalo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I only caught a slight splash of piss...but it was on my friggin elbow? Then I realized the guy next to me had some fire hose action going on, and he was hitting the top and side of the pee trough = blow back. Fortunately most of it was hitting him and not me. But, I was lucky. There were people yelling out about getting pissed on all around me. As I left and walked back into the sun, I felt like a survivor...

That's what I was going for, and that's exactly what it reminded me of, kinda like dealing with artillery, you just find a spot, stay there, and pray you don't get hit, because one spot is as good as any other.

TheLynchTrain Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This calls into question the limits one will go to support your team. Everybody knows your fanhood (and manhood) is called in to question when you leave a game early. Jim Kelly proposed, and made it a Man Law Crime, to leave the scene of a game early. But with urine soaked shoes and socks? Tough one there. But (bear with me here) how many of you would allow someone to piss all over your shoes and socks if you were guaranteed to watch a game like the one that happened on Sunday? Guaranteed! I'm sure there are some here who would eat sh*t if they knew the Bills would win a game in that fashion. As sick as it sounds (and embarrassingly), I think I would be the first one to sign up for the pee on my leg proposition. The sh*t eating might go too far though. I'll reserve that for the Super Bowl. In other News, how pissed (haha play on words) does Mr. Trumbull have to be at his wife after opening the paper and reading about how she airs his dirty laundry (LITERALLY!) to the rest of Western New York. I'm sure he's getting ribbed about it at work as we speak. But he should be! You never leave the scene of the game until its absolutely over. Jim Kelly says so. It's Man Law. Jim Kelly's word is the final say. Therefore, it is a punishable offense. Since this guy probably planned to leave early anyways (and since he shows a propensity to leave) he got what he deserved.

Niagara 66 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I went at the start of the 4th qtr after the lights were back up, judging by the state of the floors and walls I don't think people were very concerned with what they were hitting....the place was damn near flooded.

Interesting points - I didn't really consider whether leaving because of urine-soaked clothing would be considered a shameful act or not. Perhaps whether it was self-imposed or not should factor in...the article isn't clear on whether James Turnbull actually wet himself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 gentlemen...what a fantastic thread this is turning into! i'm sorry i missed the game, but i am really glad i didn't get pissed on from my ass to my elbow, or whatever, in order to watch it...i suppose if it had happened i would have wandered out into the sunshine and just waited for it to dry. it can't be toomuch worse than some of the hose-downs i've gotten from our baby over these past ten months.

Albany,n.y. Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Tips for not getting peed on: Use a bathroom with 2 doors-the one door bathroom is too dark for any man to be around other guys with their Jaurons out. Most important-get to the end of the urinal, aka the corner. You only have 1 guy next to you and you can keep a pretty good distance. Plus you can use you legs to help position yourself. Don't try to use the sink to wash your hands-guys are peeing in there because it's closest to the door & they can see where they're going. If you really want to be safe & see-go ahead, pee in the sink. I used the bathroom once during the blackout and came out unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a safety tip, if you suspect someone is pissing on you, move. How about this for a safety tip , put emergency lights in the restrooms so nobody gets hurt or catches a disease from the unsanitary conditions. How hard would it be to get emergency back up lights in the bathrooms? Or get a generator going for the two locker rooms at half time? Who is in charge of the stadium operations? What a joke, geeesh, everyones lucky there wasn't more serious injuries and lawsuites filed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duey Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Scott...I hearby nominate this tread to the TBD Hall of Fame. Rarely in one place have so many astute observations and classic one-liners been uttered. Tammy Turnbull, of East Aurora, left the game around halftime, after her husband, James, had his socks and shoes soaked with urine in a pitch-black men’s room. “We didn’t feel safe,” Tammy Turnbull said. So many questions...who wanted to leave after the soaking incident, Tammy or James? And if James was the victim, why the heck is Tammy doing all the talking? Has James been so traumatized by the incident that he's been rendered speechless, or is he too busy wringing the piss out of his socks? And lastly, why is this Tammy the only person who complained? She sure does have a lot of bad things to say about our Bills. And what of the reports of Tammy and James walking around before the game with a big bunch of mylar-coated balloons, only to have them "accidentally" released when James was startled by a small dog peeing on his leg (trouble seems to follow this man everywhere).
