    What makes me upset is that you have to put coins in a machine to get air for your tires. Having to pay for air is an outrage! Recently, I had to put air in my tires. I put 6 quarters in the machine that had a short time limit. So unsurprisingly, the machine didn't work. No air. I went into the gas station establishment to get a refund. The person working in the enclosed glass area told me that the machine was not owned by the establishment so he couldn't reimburse me. As everyone here knows very well, I'm usually a mellow fellow. I went berserk! I started screaming at him like a maniac. He told me he would be willing to give me 75 cents back. I went even crazier on him to the extent that he backed up with fear in his eyes. He then opened up the cash register and gave me $1.50, a full refund. 

    The question I pose to the members here is: Did I act in an unreasonable manner?

    Yes. You took it out on someone whose fault it was not (damn you Darth). Better to butter that person up, bc he can help you. Presumably there's some procedure to get your money back through the vendor. I dunno, I've been there done that (minus the maniac part, I hope). A buck fifty ain't worth it.

    The Quinn example is a good argument for why both optimism being warranted and caution when projecting out for next year are both apt. When considering team building in the immediate future (in the name of achieving a goal, presumably playoffs), i don’t believe the issue is one where said optimism strictly applies for the better 

    Re: Quinn: we aren’t (see: shouldn’t be) in the business of development years anymore. It’s great Quinn appears to be coming along, im optimistic on his future, but it doesn’t change the fact we were counting on him for a full season of production in the name of helping facilitate a playoff berth: that was supposed to be the goal. Obviously his season in totality has fallen drastically short on that front. So we have to look at Quinn both in the context of an individual level and what the team expected of him. The latter is a management flaw. 

    We can be optimistic about Kulich, but in the spirit of addressing the thread supposition, I think counting on a full season of solid production from Kulich next year in any kind of important role is negligent team building, optimism/pessimism neither here nor there 

    Keep fighting. Don't ever give up. Fight in the GDTs. Fight in the draft threads. In the random thread and on some mods' birthday. Never never never.

    Your day will come. Mine did re: TP. Now I sit in my reclining chair with a shawl on and drink my Boost.

    From the 70’s and 80’s on through the 90’s and 2000’s I have never felt more confident, more certain, than I do now about 1 of our pro franchises.

    50+ years of misery, of ripping the heart out of this fan bases chest moments will not sway what I feel about this current team. I feel it more than at anytime in all those decades.

    Destiny Calls, and our Buffalo Bills will answer that call.

    I love this and you haven't been wrong yet. My hot take was if the Bills could get past the first playoff game they would win it all. Now with more details: the SB ain't gonna be close.

    What you just wrote... that's what Mr. Brightside is all about. Nice guy is about to finish first.

  23. Good whisky/whiskey

    in The Aud Club

    I am not a drinker but I had a shot of whiskey once. Don't ask me what kind. But I had driven pretty much straight through to Florida for xmas some years ago. After hours on I95 with crashes and backups every 10-15 minutes, when I finally reached my destination I jokingly asked for some booze. I really liked it. I liked it so much I decided I better make that my last, and I haven't had one since. I'd be a good alcoholic. I read something once about how people with sweet tooths are at greater risk of alcoholism.
