Eleven Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 If a learning institution doesn't think it has a responsibility to the community then that learning institution is f*cked. Yeah, that's UB, all right. Medical campus or no, it has been a bad community partner since 1960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 This is from 2010 and not Buffalo. It got mentioned on that last bastion of journalism, NPR, this morning. If Hamburg is Buffalo then Amherst is Buffalo. Careful, The Queen City Defender is on the loose tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Now this, this sux. Sorry, man. At least you got a room. Enjoy the froot loops and orange juice tomorrow? I guess? Thanks man, I will ravage the continental breakfast to all of my ability. Anyone have any idea when they may open the 90/219. I don't care if I can't get my car for a few days, I have a subaru back in springville, I just need a way there, which doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon. I'm spending more money on a hotel in buffalo than I did in Orlando this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 This is from 2010 and not Buffalo. Well, I copied it from the #lakeeffect twitter feed and whoever tweeted it referenced yesterday's storm. So I just assumed he was in the southtowns somewhere and took a picture. Not like I'm trying to perpetuate some grand twitter hoax upon the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 If his parents are in the area it sounds they are, no snowblower is doing a damn thing. I called the town to get an idea of when they'd start clearing the street, and they essentially said "wait for it to melt." You're in Cheek? I am and am incredibly pissed off at our town govt. Actually all levels of govt. This a disaster that we've never seen before. Grass at one persons house an d65" at mine and yours. Makes the fact that there has been no communication from the town what so ever even more damning. Insulting too that the equipment isn't needed in half the town and yet here we sit still waiting them to show up for the first time. Pay the highest taxes in the land for this too. Freakin ######. When it comes out that the five people who died from this storm were 60-100 pounds overweight and never exercised, and had heart attacks while taking a cigarette break from shoveling thousands of pounds of snow, can I stop being so PC, feigning concern, and go back to thinking this storm is awesome and wishing I was stuck in it? I don't get this man? Awesome? Really? Do you really want to go off and say something like those fat ###### deserved? Maybe I'm misinterpreting your comment. I can say this though, at least I don't smoke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 UB officially caves to public pressure and cancels classes tomorrow. Too little too late.

If you live in [the greater Buffalo area] and die because of snow, then you are an idiot. There really isn't much that is awesome about this. 65" yesterday and another 24-36" tomorrow. Roofs collapses are going to be Thursday and Friday stories. This event is right at the limit of what all those 1970's Cheektowaga ranches will stand.

I wish I could be a part of it. swamp gets it I do too. I get a kick out of thriving in those conditions. I like to brag about the events. But I've also got a retired father who won't see his street plowed until this weekend with 6' of snow on his roof and 3 more coming. I've got a sister with 3 small kids whose dad can't reach them. It's not fun for a huge chunk of people involved. It's not awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love it as a kid, but now it's just a hassel and the dark is just depressing. Hopefully when I get done with uni I can move south. Only things I'll miss are the sports and my family. Oh and the food. Edited November 20, 2014 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Except there's still just as much proof as before. Nada. How many dead and how many roofs to collapse before you think there is enough proof to not think it's cool to be wishing you were in it? I get it too...like Weave said....nature is awesome and there is great wonder. Meanwhile you have posters here with grave concern and it probably isn't the best time to be jerking your weather stick.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I keep talking about moving South and all I hear from people is "oh you'll get sick of the heat" etc etc.... But I won't, it's wonderful walking around at 2am in 80 degree weather. This crap happening now absolutely sucks, it affects jobs, families, people stranded everywhere, carbon monoxide poisoning, hypothermia, you name it. Sure a nice thunderstorm is cool with some lightning, but when snow is coming down at a pace that can't be kept up with, approx a month before we really expect it, thus extending our already long winter..... Then yes it sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not wishing ill upon anybody harmed by this storm. My heart goes out to them and I am grateful that I don't have to live with that fear. Maybe it's foolish to have adventurous longings, and I'm sorry if I offended anybody. But equating that with your frequent assertions about Pegula's knowledge of Sandusky's activity is crazy. Bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Defecting Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I used to make snow here in ski-country. Snowmobiles, snowguns, highpressure air lines, and water. I've made some epic piles of snow at ski-resorts. Those were baby mouse turds compared to the gargantuan output of this storm. It's like... I made this little pile. What mother ###### made THAT!?

TrueBlueGED Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Seriously, if you're not here and saying it's awesome, and calling dead people idiots, you can go ###### yourself. Lost wages, inconvenience, possible injury clearing out, walking 4 miles to get more food, possibly collapsing roofs...###### anyone and everyone who thinks this is remotely awesome. This is not a normal ###### storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers. Let's put it this way.....if you and Swamp were Saints fans....and frequented their message board......and you lived in Arkansas....and Swamp lived in Iowa......and when Katrina hit, multiple posters were talking about loved ones stuck in the Superdome and the 3rd Ward.....and then had to listen to people saying..."It's just some water....anyone living under sea level should STFU".....and...."Oh how I'd love to be in New Orleans right now...it's glorious!".....don't you think that's f'd up? You and Swamp are cool......I don't think you know what the F you are talking about right now. This is the biggest snowfall in the history of the city in a 24 and 36 hour period. Mocking people at this point is like saying...."Who gives a Sh!t about Wayne Gretzky....the Oilers have tons of Hall of Famers"....... Awesome as in inspiring awe, rather than cool dude, was my intent. I hear you....I don't think he nailed you. I am in awe as well. Think of the heaviest snow you've been in.....and then it happens for 12...18 hours. I'm too busy talking to you bastards :) to even look out my window right now. I don't want to know. I'm amazed power has stayed with everyone for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
