  1. yeh fl nite club oof scary.
  2. Newt is a blow hard pseudo intellectual that cheated on his wife, divorced while going thru serious cancer surgery and remarried a woman written up in a Capitol Hill Rag as "Handsome in a Capitol Hill Sorta Way". Calista is, was a homewrecker that Newt cheated on for many years before it came out and was kept as an office manager in the House Agriculture Committee... please
  3. Dick Morris is a serial liar and makes Hillary's obsfucations seem squeeky clean please. This doesnt pass the smell test, but spotted at least 2 out and out lies, not sure about the rest but given the source... hand over mouth a bull shiite.... cough....
  4. Whatever happened to the Eagles Nest in Williamsville
  5. Amen brother what I was trying to tell LGR4GM all along...
  6. RIP great ambassador for the sport, if only there were more and Bettman knew how to market them. Gordie did it by himself.
  7. Psycho Trump Q'est que C'est?? Fa Fa Fa FA FA....
  8. . Seriously my 11 year old pun intended is already 5'6" not to make you feel small. but I too thought you were 6' plus
  9. Also Nelson is no shrinking violet, tough and tall, needs weight, but he maybe a future 1 or 2 in my mind, not saying dont go D but I still think Sabres need a scorer 1st and is harder to come by later in the draft.
  10. Agreed, but at the time it wasnt always framed that way. I too born in '64 grew up in Vietnam's shadow. My Dad was an EOD Frogman who left the service in '62 to go to Berkeley for his PHD. My folks despite my Dad's service hated the Vietnam war and literally I grew up in the middle of the first protests where the speakers were suit jackets and ties. Then to Buffalo in '68 where the Police were rioting. Ali was a central figure and symbol of folks upset by the way things were being run and the civil right movement melded with the free speech movement. In Buffalo it hit home with the 45 group of professors arrested on trumped up charged because they were sick of the police picking fights on campus. http://www.buffalo.edu/ubreporter/archive/2010_03_10/flashback, However this story is void of a number of facts. The faculty upon arrest coordinated a strike that shut down the whole NY university system and Nelson Rockefeller had to be called in to pardon the proffesors and kick the police off campus unless a specific crime was committed. The group and teacher strike was organized at our dining room table by retired and honored military service members. At least that is the way I remember it. Ali's statements and example was always a central icon used by these men as motivation. Definitely an incredible figure during interesting time.
  11. Great thread needed the slang up update aint got no skills. PS just found out in gaming 07 means salute, not sure abt 007 other than the obvious.
  12. On the surface yes, but behind the scenes its more about how to take credit for a good idea and prevent the other side from doing so... bit of a circle jerk I will admit, but if you are talking during a campaign Id agree.
  13. I disagree, maybe short term but in long run depending on the issue and the candidate, I think folks are more open minded than the shiite they spew. I know when I am arguing a point I rarely admit I am wrong but after a time will look at the other side and do some reconsidering or look for a happy medium.
  14. Darn where did you get the made up political talking points from LMAO, but I guess that is your point, you can say anything about anybody politically regardless of the truth. PS It was worse during the 30s muck raking era. Agreed.
  15. Craiglist ad
  16. By the way it is interesting that during Republican admin stocks go down and under dems they go up. Historically true.
  17. I heard that rumor last nite from a wings fan and agree would be willing to trade most of our current D minus Risto for him.
  18. Luv it that is hysterical.
  19. Disagree if Sabres are building a champion, they need to hit on one this year and develop at least two into future.
  20. But for different reasons. Bush mangled the economy and started a war. Obama didnt know how to deal with Congress and governed largely by fiat not engaging with them because he couldnt deal with the constant political vitiol. Reagan and Clinton imo are the only ones that had a handle on how to manipulate washington while maintaining a tin ear to the chattering classes.
  21. I would add, unelected gain even increasing power from sheer knowledge of law, how to make things happen and relationships in DC that effect how and legislative changes are made. Still 3-4 terms for senators and 5-6 terms for Representatives sound like a decent compromise imo.
  22. Interesting Analysis but I would expect similar results for forwards, the key is finding late bloomers like Nelson either thru draft and develop or thru college euro ufas.
  23. Yeh it is. I have some pics somewhere of 20 ft waves hitting the breakwall in Moro Bay, here are some pics from Cal coast including Oceanside Harbor and an Otter in Moro Bay as well as a seal near Hearst Castle. I am sure I have more. PS That is a surfer getting closed out in that weirdly lighted wave as fog lifted. https://fischerwilliamsphoto.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Southern-California-Beach/
  24. The year I came over from TBD, formerly yellowlinesandarmadillos.
  25. Agreed my eyes are further damaged each time I click on a thread PI participates in, kinda like radiation effect... is there a lifetime body allowance that gives you a warning to prevent further damage.
