Sweetwater 420 Pale Ale. I'm fairly certain it's not available in your neck of the woods, but if you make it down for some pillaging this season I'll buy some for the tailgate. :thumbsup:

As 'ole Roby would say..it's hotter than a dogs breath down here in NC. Temps of 100+ F in the forecast the next three days and heat index of 112+. It's absolutely brutal. The summers here in the south are the only times when I begin to seriously think about moving back to Buffalo.

Yep, La Unica / Montesino were my go to "everyday" cigars.

I don't smoke cigars nearly as much as I used to, I'd say I'm at like 5 a year now. But when I used to keep a humidor and smoke more regularly I preferred robustos. A. Fuente, montesino and romeo & julieta were my go to stogies usually. Has anyone ever been to the JR outlets down here in NC? I've been to the one on I-40 in Burlington a few times, the walk in humidor is massive.

Bloody stool? If yes it's almost definitely E. coli but more likely salmonella or campylobacter which are much more common.

My complaint is that I am leaving Buffalo tomorrow morning for the 720 mile drive back to Raleigh.

I was in your same position last week before heading to San Diego for a beer conference. I got back on Sunday and I'm still feeling the effects of last weeks over indulgence.

Yes, it's the second date of the second leg of the Time Machine tour. I'm pretty bummed, I've seen hundreds of rock concerts over the years and Rush easily puts on the best show out of the dozens of bands I've seen live. I have family and friends coming to town this weekend and they had already delayed their arrival from Friday night because I was going to be at the concert. I wouldn't be a good host if I left them all to my wife. Rush are coming to Greenville, SC in June, and I have already targeted that show now as my opportunity to fake an illness cold and go. :thumbsup:

On Tuesday the Rush concert in Greensboro was moved from Friday to Saturday night due to "unforeseen circumstances". Now I can't make it and had to get my 8th row floor ticket refunded. :censored:

Knee woes suck. I feel for you guys. My knee was shattered in a car accident a few years back, and I still have five screws in there holding it together. Even though my docs said that I have recovered as well as could possibly be expected, I'm still looking at a total knee replacement before I'm 50.

The same thing happened to me when my Sirius radio was stolen. I guess Sirius didn't believe me that it was stolen though as I still get emails asking me to reactivate it. My radio , among other items, was stolen the last night of a beach house rental at the Outer Banks. The rental company said it was common for thieves to walk onto properties from the beach access on Friday night before Saturday morning checkout. This year we are going back and I will be pulling an all nighter lying in wait out at the pool on the last night. I REALLY hope those bastards try it again. :censored:

You people are sick! :w00t:

I won't ruin it, but that spoiler thread over on the stadium wall gives some information that could clear up why 'slow' zombies could take over and even defeat a modern military.

If you don't like spoilers, then don't read the Walking Dead thread over on the stadium wall. There is a guy there that has read the books that the series is based on and he gave many potential future plot twists away.

Even if it was a weak shot by Horton (which it certainly was not), I still wouldn't place much blame on Miller as that was an absolutely brutal turnover.

We've seen this movie way too many times before. The Sabres are coming off their best game of the year and Ottawa is struggling as of late....you know the rest.

Same here. I now hate my favorite team. F you Darcy/Quinn/Golisano. F you all.

Yes. I couldn't care less about eavesdropping on the conversations of strangers. I don't care if you are talking on your cell phone, to someone sitting right next to you or to the wall, if you are talking louder than conditions dictate then you will annoy others. For some reason though most people find it necessary to yell into their cell phones.

I work for a large medical technology company. This woman was interviewing for a research position so there was no way the bluetooth device was in any way appropriate. I really couldn't believe it. I appreciate technology as much as the next guy but in my opinion for some people its gotten way out of control with the ipods, blackberrys and laptops. People need to find a way to sit quietly with just their thoughts every now and then.

Exactly, there is a huge difference betwen normal conversation face to face and the idiot that can't grasp the concept that their voice is amplified into the ear of the person they are speaking with on the phone. Annoying as hell. :censored: Another annoying cell phone habit is the people that wear the bluetooth ear roach thingies at ALL TIMES. We had a girl show up for an interview with one of those in her ear. She wore it for the entire interview. Are you freaking kidding me?

My HOA giving me grief about the man cave that I built in my backyard. :censored:

My brother and I are irish twins. I was born 355 days after him. It wasn't until I had kids of my own (3 years apart) that I came to realize the hell that my parents must have went through upon my arrival.

I'd be really disappointed if they got in. I'd hate to see their accomplishments tarnished by being grouped with some of the previous inductees.

I did that the first year I was here in NC. Then the "yellow death" of pine tree pollen hit. One day of leaving our windows open in early spring had everything in the house covered with a thick yellow residue. You can always tell who the newer northern transplants are in the neighborhood by looking for houses with their windows open during pollen season.

And that's the truth! Most of their fan base has returned to the local hick population, back when they had their cup run they had a lot of team swappers amongst all the other transplants around here. All those fans have gone back to following their hometown teams.
