That Aud Smell

i went with this "stank" gif because dude sorta looks like Tage.

ahhite. thanks. seeing the quote in full context, i'm now more convinced than i was before: those are just the words of someone in a lame duck administration. they're all on one-year deals. maybe you agree. maybe we were talking past each other? also, i still sorta think your 2 versions of that quote (clipped above) put a bit of stank on what was actually said. #stank

I've always been asking you: Did Karmanos actually say the things that you put in quotes? I apologize if I was unclear.

These are the quotes and associated stank to which I referred. Did Karmanos actually say those things?

Admittedly, I mostly do a poor job of keeping track of regular posters' various message board peccadilloes. Also, I think I mostly wanted to use the word "peccadilloes" there. I'm not sure it's an apt use.

Where's his direct quote? You've put a stank on what he "said" a couple times (using different words). It's just seeming more like everyone's on a one-year deal right now. If the team doesn't perform, everyone will be gone.

Yeah - looking back on it - this seems like a fart in a bottle. Now - that bottled fart is skittering and clinking around the titling deck of the Titanic as it lurches to its final resting place. But it's a fart in a bottle all the same.

Is it rumoured that Peterka's been looking for brighter lights, bigger city?

i'll assume this is substantially true. and man does it suck. (also: who's the prematurely grey slightly porky guy? frank? i recognize him. but i have no idea who he is.)

I'm headed to Beak and Skiff next weekend for 2 shows. The Avett Brothers are having a mini residency. These will be shows 13 and 14 for me (weather permitting!). Anyone been to this venue? It's fairly new. The reviews seem generally positive.

helluva story. one worth telling to the grandkids someday.

I may need to unplug the message board and then plug it back in.

No, not really. Hard Knocks offers zero upside for the team’s football operations. The best we can hope for is that the project isn’t a distraction and competitive detriment. I’ll catch clips on Twitter/Instagram. But I don’t give a hoot about the show as a whole.

Good teams figure that sort of thing out. Which most likely means that the Sabres have no chance of signing the guy. (Btw, I don't think he'd come to Buffalo anyway.)

The portion of the online Sabres fan base that doesn't want Marner because he allegedly underperforms in the playoffs is unfathomable to me. I would throw my back out doing a nekkid happy dance* if the Sabres were to somehow sign that guy. And, imo, you would be able to book the Sabres for a playoff berth. *In the privacy of my own home.

I remember hearing that, just prior to that hit, Reinhart had wired a wrister off Stolarz's (sp?) mask. It may be that he was concussed, was trying to play through it, and then the Bennett contact sent him over the edge.

this anthem is belatedly coming to mind for this topic's title.

Lol - I think it means, essentially, "you are way too online - go outside, get away from your phone, breathe fresh air ... and touch grass."

As my kids would say (although they're increasingly far from "kids"): "Go touch grass."

An absolute wagon.

lol - that’s a good one. definitely a slack jawed Howdy Doody mufugger. I generally go with “Opie.”

I won’t tune in. I might stumble onto it? Otherwise, I’ll rely on Twitter to update me.
