sabills Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) It was a black/watermelon joke.....tinged in the fact the Eleven admits he works for a major law firm in Buffalo that deals with bankruptcies and your city's biggest accomplishments to date are 8 acres of mowed lawn to hold concerts on near a waterway that has been here since the dawn of age and food trucks. Not to mention the "revitalization" being proclaimed is pretty much the same handful of developers getting public money to RENT out units to the masses while less than 1,000 units have come public for sale.

SwampD Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Okie Dokie.... Allow me the next hour to search the forum for the 2 dozen derogatory comments on Battista and his Italian Heritage.... It was a black/watermelon joke.....tinged in the fact the Eleven admits he works for a major law firm in Buffalo that deals with bankruptcies and your city's biggest accomplishments to date are 8 acres of mowed lawn to hold concerts on near a waterway that has been here since the dawn of age and food trucks. Not to mention the "revitalization" being proclaimed is pretty much the same handful of developers getting public money to RENT out units to the masses while less than 1,000 units have come public for sale. Go F Yourselves..... Either take a joke for what it is.... or go F yourselves. What doesn't belong in an awesome thread is a law office grossing $70 million a year in revenues getting excited about $40 of free watermelon.... I'll make it easy for you.

That's why I'm tired and grumpy, but at least it's the real me, not the Juan Valdez version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Downtown is becoming awesome. I saw more development going on there this morning than two days in D.C. The harbour is marvelous, especially if you recall what it was like a decade ago or longer. Edited July 18, 2014 by sizzlemeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Downtown is becoming awesome. I saw more development going on there this morning than two days in D.C. The harbour is marvelous, especially if you recall what it was like a decade ago or longer. Absolutely agree. Yesterday I took a walk around the downtown area on my lunch break and from the Main St. revitalization/drivability renovation down by the theater district (which looks awesome now btw) and the canalside area including the new Marriott and water feature and obviously the Harbor Center, it actually looks like a place I will be proud to call my hometown. The next step is 'linking' the nice area by canalside to the business district by M&T Plaza/Lafayette Square area. Currently there is a huge hole of nothingness between Division streets and canalside (namely the empty HSBC building) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your rich, white jokes ready while you condemn jokes against pretty much anyone else. Absolutely agree.

Haven't been to the theatre district in a little bit, at least to walk around. I used to work in that area and have very not-fond memories. I have plans to be down there soon, so I'm looking forward to checking out what they've done. Opening up the roads to traffic is llooooonnnnngggg over due.

Opening up the roads to traffic is llooooonnnnngggg over due. Don't get me wrong the current construction is super annoying and is probably killing whatever local business has survived the Main St. wasteland, but the completed section in the theater district has really great walkability and greenspace planters to give it a nice look. It's still only a one lane road with side parking and a bike lane, but it looks great visually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Saturday mornings on Lake Ontario are fecking awesome. <pic> That really is awesome. Catch anything? Weed is awesome. (teehee) Today is the one year anniversary of my daughter's last seizure. She's had 2 or 3 staring spells, but nothing even remotely major since we started her on the pot. (teehee) Meeting with her neurologist on Monday to talk about starting to ween her off of the Pharma meds. Some are pretty strong and inhibit learning. Very psyched.

Glad to hear you've got something that works for your girl. 2. Went out looking for walleyes, would have been happy catching bass, had to settle for sheepshead. Did catch some bass too but the drum were really hitting. I'd rather catch walleyes for the table but 5-7lb drum are entertaining enough. And jeez, the morning was too beautiful to complain about anything anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are drum also called silver bass? And when they bite it feels like you just got hit by a car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver bass is a different animal. They look like 1-2lb striped bass. Fun as hell to catch but not very tasty. They finished their spawning run a few weeks ago. Caught a bunch of them at the time. Sheepshead are freshwater drum. I believe it is a fresh water adapted salt water drum. Ugly as hell and sometimes they make weird grunting noises when you get them out of the water. And the big ones do hit like a car. The first one today was all of 7lbs and damn near took my rod out of my hand when it hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught some silver bass as well, but usually when trying for smallmouth or lakers from shore up from Artpark. Gat Dam I have to move back. Thanx Bio.
