  1. Make sure to PM a picture to d4rk.
  2. Wow, that's really F'N freaky. Don't tell the nuts. For that matter, I might get rid of the phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toynbee_tiles The documentary was on Netflix streaming, it's a cool watch. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/resurrect_dead_the_mystery_of_the_toynbee_tiles/
  3. Who? :)
  4. I say "the" for the 90, 190, 33, and 290 offhand. Not "the 198" (Scajaquada) or "the 5" (Route 5). I think it's a distinction between highways. For fun, say the "Youngman Expressway" and wait for the confusion. My wife referred to US30 last night (a highway near my house) as "the 30" and it sounded really strange. :)
  5. Fixed that for you.
  6. It's funny how that works. Remember Perkins restaurants, and how they disappeared back in the 90s? Central PA is littered with them. I thought they disappeared entirely.
  7. To be honest, I thought it came out more like paella than jambalaya. Thinking about the recipes, they're actually similar, which wikipedia confims: "It is also a close cousin to the saffron colored paella found in Spanish cuisine.". There was a bunch of spices that approximated the andouille (thyme, marjoram, garlic, etc.), but not as strong as what seeps out of the sausage.
  8. Vegan Jambalaya, not bad. The main problem is I really needed to use a larger pot, the 4-qt was really full by the end. The meat dish was pork tacos in the slow cooker. Cool recipe, take some peppers (jalapeno, poblano, and habanero), blend them up with onion and oil. Cook the sauce for awhile, add broth, then dump that over 4 lbs of pork shoulder in the slow cooker for 5 hours. Mmmmm.
  9. Iroquois represent! :)
  10. I'd avoid professing your love to Chz, that didn't go work for the last person that tried it. You'd probably have some people obsessively checking the thread with one hand though. :)
  11. Having a small party to watch the Eagles-Saints game and cook tomorrow, that'll be fun I hope. I'm not really an Eagles fan, but it's easy to root against the Eagles natural rivals, the Giants, Redskins, and Cowboys (notice a common link between those teams?). There's almost enough snow here to really snowshoe, but it would be more like hiking with stuff on my feet.
  12. Nah, the cadence is all wrong. Massive! Yahoo! Mail-outage-going-on! Fooouuuurrth*! Straight day! * Fourth said in a somewhat sing-song voice.
  13. There's probably a matter of degree in there. If you had a deal all drawn up ahead of time then *maybe* the NHL would be upset. If PLF just says, "We're trading you, but please don't sign anything in UFA until you've seen our offer." would seem to be OK.
  14. Just one of those things, I think. I still say "the 400" or "the 90", but I don't refer to any of the routes here that way. "The" is just part of the name.
  15. Man, I'm such a crap stalker. I just can't get anything right.
  16. No no, my mom has only lived in Buffalo (Imson St.), Cheektowoga (near the mall), or Elma. My boss is from Hazelton and says youse regularly. This seems to fit into this thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sMI2jb16eo "Heyna" seems to be equivalent to the Canadian "eh", in that it converts a statement to into a question.
  17. http://www.theregist...utage_day_four/ "Massive! Yahoo! Mail! outage! going! on! FOURTH! straight! day!" (in this case it's a joke on Yahoo's "Official" brand being "Yahoo!") The overuse of caps is a UK tabloid thing that's creeping into other stuff. Also, if you're in Northeast PA (Hazelton) or talking to my mom. I don't know where my mom picked it up, as she's never lived anywhere other than South Buffalo (off Seneca St.) or Elma. My dad grew up on the next block and doesn't say it.
  18. Sorry to hear it. Wasn't she fighting back problems before this too?
  19. Who's Kate Upton?
  20. Two things, lately. Bought some Bulleit Bourbon (they were out of rye), makes a nice Rusty Nail (I'm trying to use up some year-old Drambuie). Also bought a bottle of Sage. It smells more "sagey" than it tastes, I get more of an Anise taste when drinking it.
  21. I think one four below Premier (league 2). I spent a couple weeks in Portsmouth awhile back so I thought I'd represent. :) Ran into a bunch of Arsenal people on the train that were going to see them at Pompey on that trip.
