Both sides look completely reasonable to me at this point. I think Savoie's late assignment to the Amerks last month is an ill omen for my side of the bet.

Ya, I don't remember talking about Graves but it's possible. I don't think he's the direction we go so I might have said that before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 2 hours ago, MDFan said: I have to say, I watched my father die in front of me when I was 15, so I feel for you. However, I cannot even imagine how that creates a reason for a total lack of empathy for other people. Your explanation for not wanting to ever give to any charity is absurd. I cant really speak for nil and don't understand his thought process completely. I definitely understand the possibilities of medical incompetence and skepticism of some or even many charities But I do know that the heaviest users of this word in my life are currently gloating that a submarine full of people is either crumpled or slowly starving them of oxygen at the bottom of the ocean, and are generally vicious and contemptible and ugly inside and out This doesn't have anything to do with you or nil, I am just triggered by the word empathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will ever get a cent out of my pocket ever again I will buy you liquor if you want So that explains why you never paid off our wager. Not that I ever really expected to see a dime from you. For the record Buffalonill and I had a $100 to the charitable organization of the winner choice bet during the 2022-23 season. If the Sabres were to exceed 77.5 points, then I was the winner. 77 points or less and my worthy opponent was the winner. As can be seen by the above statement, worthy opponent may not be the best use of the term.

You could buy a pair of skates for an underprivileged kid. Maybe one with a rink nearby so they don't need a ride to go use them. Maybe one with a hot mom, that you could charm with your upbeat charismatic personality. I used to work with a single dad who told us he would wear our company jacket to his kid's soccer games. Funny guy. His words: "To the dads, this says {our company name}. To the single mom, this says Dental Plan." 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Who besides @Buffalonill will take this bet … $25 Charity bet. I think the Sabres will win more than 42 games for the 23-24 regular season. What about this one. $25 Charity bet. I think the Sabres will win more than 5 games in OT for the 23-24 regular season.

Do shootouts count? If yes, it feels like you’re betting that the sun will rise tomorrow. Honestly, even without them it still feels like that.

That may be one of the weakest takes I've heard on this board in over 10 years. Also, many rescue squads, especially in rural areas, are staffed primarily with volunteers who drop what they are doing, dash to the squad building, then drive to the scene - for no pay. We do it solely for the benefit of our communities. Thank you for your support, nil. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make it easy for you 'nill... whatever charity you and Liger decide on, just add my winnings to the donation. One check for $200 and done. Or do it online and get some miles from your credit card to defray expenses for the next trip back to Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
