Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 What are the 3 other horsemen? Lindy actually sounded happy as well. Maybe it's all going to hell in a handbasket. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that Lindy signed his extension this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 My other complaint is that the Connolly II thread was closed. And it was just starting to get really good. Oh, and I want to complain on behalf of the country of Japan. With yet another massive earthquake today, I'm sure the prevailing sentiment right now has to be "Why us?"

Buffalo Wings Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I have a solution to this one. Don't pay so much attention to Justin Bieber. Which is what we should be doing to Charlie Sheen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Why is Carolina still in the playoff hunt... Why does the NYS Government suck... WHy does the federal government suck... Why am I going to get flagged for terrorism for posting this... Why do people have droids that automatically post on facebook where they are ( I am really not that interested)... How are my roomates still in pharmacy school when they can't even get up for a class at noon, let alone one at eight AM ( you should really double check your Rxs if they are going to be your pharmacist) Why do some people cross the street extremely slowly even though they know you have a green light... And that is what grinds my gears.... Add this to your list as well. I remember when they tried to get the public to buy into "Gasohol" back in the 80's. Well, it didn't fly, so they nixed it. Now, they figure that since they can't do a hard sell, they'll force it on us. Typical Communists. (No, I will not back down from calling them that. When one of my fellow truckers tells me that he came to America from Romania back in the mid-80's to get away from Communism, only to discover that they've implemented it over here now, I totally understand him. This is not the same country I grew up in and I know that there are board members on here who are older than I am who know this all too well.) IIRC, more corn used for fuel means less corn on the dinner table. Plus, more fields devoted to corn means less wheat and other essential crops grown. This picture is just completely messed up.

frissonic Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 My other complaint is that the Connolly II thread was closed. And it was just starting to get really good. Oh, and I want to complain on behalf of the country of Japan. With yet another massive earthquake today, I'm sure the prevailing sentiment right now has to be "Why us?" not to get all geographical and stuff, but .... the islands formed from the interacting of the asian and pacific plates. there have always been massively large earthquakes/tsunamis in the region; i think the reason we're so shocked by the last month's events is the fact that we actually have front-row seats due to the leaps and bounds jumps of technology that brings instantaneous news feeds from literally anywhere in the world. even when egyptian government had shut down their entire internet infrastructure, people were STILL getting the message out about what was happening in tahrir square. we had real-time, instant news feeds from various vantage points in japan; virutally real-time video of the devestation of the earthquake and tsunamis. BUT this isn't new to them. sitting in the ring of fire as they do, and specifically japan because of its geographic location on the asian/pacific plates ... they're going to get hammered with earthquakes and tsunamis. what's different is our ability to get notifications and the depth of that coverage from practically anyone at any time.

Cereal Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Drivers don't typically stop for stop signs where they are supposed to stop. If there's no white line to show you where to stop, you need to stop BEHIND the sidewalk! Oy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Got my last run in tonight before my company's 5K (Saturday morning) and my run absolutely sucked tonight. No juice at all and couldn't get loose until the end of the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even when there is a line, everyone stops halfway over it instead of before it like you're supposed to. If I'm stopping behind you and I'm on the white line, you're doing something wrong.

FogBat Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Chief complaint of the week: the number of people who are falling for this guy's "prophecy" that the world is coming to an end on May 21, 2011. IMO, more than likely we're all still going to be here on May 22nd and in the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Gotta say that the big Game 1 win is making me not even dread my my monthly "why do your numbers suck/what are you doing to fix it" meeting tomorrow. Or not nearly as much. Two other complaints, though - frigging allergies and sinuses. The windy days last week really ramped up the allergies, which fired up the sinuses, which means head pain, runny nose, all that fun stuff. And my 5K time on Saturday was not good. I have set my sights on another 5K in June to see if I can improve my time some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 My boy has a cold... But, at 18 months old mind you, I just went into his room to settle him and i told him that the sabres won and he yelled. He's asleep now, so there's nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile!

Cereal Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Been saving this one up since last Friday evening. It's actually three things, but they're very, very related... (1) Female housemates. (2) Terrible television. Specifically: Teen Mom 2. (3) People who don't understand that the significance of watching sports in real time (as opposed to DVR'ed) is much greater than the significance of watching crappy reality shows in real time. Now that the playoffs have started, I think I have laid down the law. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much recycled garbage and the people who do reality shows give me the impression that they actually like the attention they're getting. As Neil Peart wrote in "The Big Money", It's the fool on television/getting paid to play the fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Help Nathan Fillion Buy Firefly! I heard something about him trying to do that. I hope he can pull it off. The right people were cast for the show. It would just be a matter of getting the original cast members back on the show. Firefly was definitely a unique show. It didn't mess with anyone's heads (although River's head was messed up by no fault of her own). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Open for business. 3rd week in a row with a sore throat due to allergies. But, the Sabres won, my brother is coming here tonight, and my house survived the storms here. Unfortunately, my wife's new school did not. Here's an article about the students' return to "school" http://www.fayobserver.com/articles/2011/04/21/1088377?sac=Home My wife won't start till August, as she is finishing out her time at her old school. However, I am personal friends with a few of the teachers currently in that building, 1 happens to be a die hard Sabres fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm33064 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 A few Thursday whines: 1. Tim-mah. Meeeeeeelions for what amounts to a PKer. Don Luce was better, and barely made enough to keep his perm looking hot for road trips to Studio 54. 2. It would be interesting to see how things might be different if local elections could get the same interest level from the public as, say, voting for a kid's karaoke contest on FOX. 3. We're currently paying for over 2,400 F-35 Joint Strike fighter planes, at an estimated project cost of $323,000,000,000. I think few, if any, are actually in use - and it seems like nobody even cares. Republican, Democrat or other, that is almost too redonkulous for words. 4. South Florida summers are the worst. It's getting humid down here already; hurricane season isn't far behind. Buffalo winter > South Florida summer. Buffalo people are infinitely > South Florida people. Whine over, but it felt great. Go Sabres. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Got drunk on Jack Daniels Maple Syrup last night. Went to bed around 3. Rolled around feeling like I was going to die for four hours. Just got up. Now putting together a presentation for class at 10 feeling like death warmed over. :doh: Gonna nap so hard this afternoon.

MattPie Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Got drunk on Jack Daniels Maple Syrup last night. Say what now? Is this home made or something you buy? I have so much to do, I don't know how to keep up. And, I'm going to miss parts of the second and third rounds, and maybe game 1 of the SCF for work. Damn them!

And, I'm going to miss parts of the second and third rounds, and maybe game 1 of the SCF for work. Damn them! Home made. You basically just put Jack Daniels in a jug of Maple Syrup and go. There are fancier ways of doing it that remove some of the alcohol, but we're men, and that wasn't going to happen. Chugging it seemed like a tasty and fantastic idea at the time, but rolling around in pain at 5am made it somewhat regrettable. Nothing that day old black coffee and some breakfast can't fix! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
