  1. Peter Donatelli, who represents Jimmy Vesey, had this to say about the Buffalo Sabres acquiring the rights of his client from the Nashville Predators: "In our opinion, the only thing that has happened is now the Sabres have stepped into the shoes of Nashville for exclusive rights [to negotiate] until Aug. 15. However, at this time, it doesn't change Jimmy Vesey's intention to become a free agent on Aug. 15."

    100% saying the right thing to protect the Sabres and his client from the perception of tampering. He'll be a Sabre within the week.

  2. True Dat. :D

     

    Okay, so I've been on 3 dates with the same girl in the past 2 weeks. We met on match.com. Our dates were flawless. Totally into one another, similar interests, similar tastes, similar pasts, similar place in life. Here is the thing: When we aren't together, things feel WAAAYYYY different than when we are together. Maybe she's not a big texter, maybe she doesn't express herself well outside of face to face contact, but I'm bouncing off the walls trying to figure out what the deal is.

     

    I should probably just take cues from our interaction together, and proceed like everything is kosher but something makes me leary about the whole situation. She's pretty secretive about what she's doing when she's not with me. I don't want to pry, but I just left a situation where the girl I was dating had a boyfriend. The feeling is eerily similar. Maybe I'm overreacting but I'm going nuts.

     

    Dude, you are the chick of the relationship after 3 dates? Start running...now.

  3. Been waiting all week for this. I spent 3 hours in the ER Wednesday night after someone thought it was a good idea to smash a beer bottle on my head. I get the stitches out today, but unfortunately I'm not going to attend my work x-mas party this weekend as I don't want to explain to the CEO/Owner that I'm a retard that gets in bar brawls and ends up in the hospital. Then again, he probably already knows this...

    Let me guess....North Tonawanda?

  4. My mouth feels like a week old ashtray full of stale beer. I've eaten two of those processed meat packet thingys, taco bell (nachos, pintos & cheese, double decker taco, & volcano taco), two large brad's cookie nook CC cookies, and a bag of Doritos and I can't shake the damn taste!

    How big a boy are ya?

  5. Just about everyone has had a lousy job during their youth - it is how well you perform it (and act as though you love it) that prepares you for later life. My first job paid pennies more than minimum wage and was about as bad a job as you can get (think "Dirty Jobs" on Discovery Channel - I won't even mention what it was). Not only did I do it, I acted as if it was the best job on earth. After a while - bingo! A promotion. I wound up being head of the department before I left.

     

    My complaint is that many of the young folks in these fast food-type jobs don't even bother to try to communicate properly (or don't know how). I went to a drive-through a while back and instead of, "Hi -welcome to Jiggy's Pork Rind Emporium! May I take your order?" I got, "Yeah?" How does one respond to "Yeah?"

    Did you just quote a post from a year and a half ago? Has it be eating away at you for that long? :lol:

     

    How do you respond to the guy who says "yeah?" at the drive through? Very politely or just move on....sounds like a guy who is looking for a reason to put his special topping on your burger.

  6. I work with a guy who literally screws up every report he compiles. It has gotten to the point that my boss does not trust any of the stats the guy comes up with. So now, I get to review all of this guys work and check it for accuracy in addition to my own work. Good times. I am so far behind now, I barely have enough time to check for Sabres updates.

  7. Indeed. The key moment involved a product made in my neck of the woods!

     

    crusho, I know what you mean. But a happily ever after ending wouldn't have been right. All old Walt was trying to do was give the kids a chance.

     

    But, yeah, I kind of think it would be tough to get a conviction on all of those thugs -- witnesses would have to testify, you'd have the self-defense theory etc. And wouldn't another gang just move in to fill the void?

     

    Loved the movie though.

     

    PASabreFan, have we met before?

     

    Back in 1999, I was in Amherst buying tickets for a movie I was very excited to see. You were leaving the threatre as I was pulling my money out and you loudly exclaimed to your buddy, "I can't belive Bruce Willis was dead the entire time!"

  8. Ok, I'm not a big capital punishment guy, but fir this I can make an exception...

     

    ANY web publisher who puts up a picture of a product, a place, a person, etc... and has an "enlarge" link - better make damn well sure the picture that comes up is SUBSTANTIALLY BIGGER!!! If that thing is only 10% larger it makes me very, very angry and anyone who does that should DIAF.

     

    Your post sounds like a Smiling Bob commercial. I'll take a 10% increase any day!!

  9. I picked up the new Ghostbusters video game the other day. I was playing it yesterday and my roommate decides that he wants to ask constant questions during each cut scene. You know, maybe I want to actually hear what the game is saying so I understand the story. Plus, with Murray and Aykroyd, I don't want to miss a second. He does this all the time. The rare times where I'm actually watching something that I enjoy, he has to start talking, annoying the hell out of me. Then there's the times where he'll start mocking some show I like while I'm watching it. Hey idiot, you own sex and the city dvds, so don't go ripping on me for watching 24.

    Sounds more like a wife. If these things annoy you, don't ever get married.

  10. On a positive note:

    My brother's friend was squatting at my house but found a different job in a different city so he will no longer wake the house up in the morning when he re-enacts the running of the bulls every morning. Yay more sleep.

    Is that anything like leaving a topper?

  11. I am closing on a house in a couple of weeks. One minute, I am happy about it, the next minute I am miserable. One minute I love the house, the next minute I hate the house. The prospect of writting that check for 20% and then signing my life away makes me want to puke.

  12. Complaint #2: I got a coupon for a buy-one-get-one-free new waffle sandwich at Dunkin Donuts, so the wife & I proceed there for breakfast this morning. She gets a ham, egg, & cheese, while I order a bacon, egg, & cheese. They throw them in the bag and we go our separate ways to work. Upon arriving at work, we both find out they're croissant sandwiches....not the waffle sandwich we ordered. :censored: Too late at that point to go back to DD. :censored:

    On a positive note, your heart and colon are happier.

  13. Well mind you that while I pride myself on eating every morsel of meat off 'dem bones, these aren't the meatiest wings around. (Although.....decent. Fatheads is the best I've had in Pittsburgh; this was at Buffalo Blues.) I actually ate 51 wings on my birthday back in September. So last night, somewhere between Wing 32 and Wing 37 I had ordered another half dozen while also recalling the trauma I had suffered during my 51-wing performance. So I decided to spare myself a little misery and smuggle them out for another day. It wasn't really that hard... they were served in a little cardboard basket, so I used the previous basket as a top for the one I smuggled out (you might be able to tell that I'm a Mechanical Engineer ;) ), and my housemate made sure they didn't spill while I drove home.

     

    And for the doubters, I have also been known to consume 1.0 pounds of pasta in a sitting, as well as a disc of beer (4.5 to 5 beers total) in 1:09. But the real reason for all the room in belly is that I drink a ton of water -- typically five quarts a day during the season. (I play ultimate frisbee... it's not too popular in WNY yet...) Curious... anyone else on here play ultimate?

     

    How big a boy are ya?
