  1. I was thinking how to do something like this, and it's being done perfectly. Should we sticky this?
  2. I don't think I'm overreaching when I say that we're all eager to challenge eachother here, usually respectfully. At the end of the day, we're all on the same team. Try not to automatically associate the day-to-day heat with hate.* Congrats on the new path forward. The city needs educated, hard working people like you. *I imagine an unfeasible scenario when we have a forum picnic IRL, we all meet each other, and when we all figure out each others' usernames, we point and laugh and shout "you ######!" And then smash drinks together and have a jolly time. If you had guessed that I've been drinking, you would be correct.
  3. That's so stupid it just might work. I love it. Seriously though, there is nothing stopping us from having an outdoor game every year now. Nothing.
  4. For myself, and likely ChileanSeaBass as well, that song is forever ingrained in some of our greatest memories. http://youtu.be/veHQMaxiOmg
  5. I'm pretty sure Myers' nezmins don't win.
  6. What really happened: Shaw spears Myers, refs miss it, Myers clocks Shaw, refs call Myers, Blackhawks score on powerplay. Tankin'.
  7. It was a really good right hook.
  8. The 1.4L in the Fiat 500 makes it a rolling dishwasher. Until you cover the damn thing in Scorpion stickers.
  9. Draft's a good time. Should be a great weekend for the city. I'd rather have the ASG in about eight years when Sabres players stack the ###### out of the EC All Stars.
  10. Razorism: "Situlizations."
  11. I'd like the Sabres to win the opener and Reinhart to put some points up. I'm also looking forward to a completely retooled defense. The tanks are deployed in defensive positions.
  12. GDT Tanking Etiquette that I prescribed to last season: 1) Declare desire to tank, if any, before the game starts. 2) Watch and enjoy the game for what it is, as normal. Personally, I not only enjoy watching the kids grow up and play their game, I also enjoy watching teams we hate be embarrassed by a team they think they should beat. Lots of good stuff to keep an eye on. 3) Don't antagonize the non-tankers. To make it through the season, people will need to watch and cope according to their own Sabres religious beliefs. 4) Declare tank victory or defeat tastefully when the game is over. It's perfectly good for the Sabres to win, especially at home against teams we hate. A defeat in battle is not a definitive indicator of defeat in war.
  13. No, don't doubt yourself. This, combined with drunken Super Bowl declarations, does indeed make you a real Bills fan.

  15. Dealerships here in LA almost refuse to stock manuals. There's either no demand or there's a perception that there's no demand, probably because of traffic or something. It's insanity. There's a lot of insanity in the LA automobiling experience.
  16. Is that the $1.4 Billion in the suitcase? I got bored, here's some math. The largest denomination of US currency ever printed was the $100,000 bill (with Woodrow Wilson's face), printed from 1934 to 1935. It would take 14,000 of those bills to pay the $1.4B for the Buffalo Bills. How much space would 14,000 bills take up? Well, some kid paid his $14k college tuition in one dollar bills, so that's what that looks like. It's close. 100 stacked bills is 0.43" thick. After some math, you could arrange 4.3" stacks in two rows and seven columns in a suit case to make up the 14,000 required $100,000 bills. The only drawback is that there are only seven known $100,000 bills left in existence. The highest denomination of US Currency currently printed is the $100 bill. It'd take 14 million of those, which would be a pile of $100 bills that weighs 14.28 tons.
  17. Seeing how much of the country can't even do pizza correctly, there's no way I'd expect them to develop this advanced pizza technology.
  18. Terry's text to Jessie this morning:
  19. If the kids are ready. Is Connor McEichel ready to go out of the box? Maybe. Are the other picks? Maybe not. Will we have the cap space to spend to get veteran free agents that can get us competition-ready? Probably. Are all the veterans we need going to be available in free agency? Probably not. The draft is just one piece of the puzzle, albeit a large one. And we're surely gonna be hungry for wins when next year starts. And it probably won't take us until 2018 to be relevant. But I'd be genuinely and pleasantly surprised if we're in the 2016 NHL Playoffs. We got a long ways to go.
  20. Since when is this a thing? Why is this a braggable skill? Have I been in LA (land of almost entirely automatics) too long? Why I would think that's interesting enough to bring up in conversation? Anyways, I drive a manual and wouldn't have it any other way. When I drive compact automatics, I feel like I'm driving a go kart. Gas. Steering wheel. Brake.

  23. 1 Enroth shutouts . 3.5 over/under 2. Matt Moulson goals - 24.5 over/under 3. Sabres Total Points - 68.5 over/under 4. Sabres total goals scored 195.5 over/under 5.
