I love how I knew you were going to try to hold a mirror up to me by making an analogous post to mine. Actually I didn't know that, but isn't this fun?

I love how you're making fun of the looks of a woman that you would have ZERO chance with, even if she wasn't married to Ferris Bueller.

Surprise, Surprise....

I usually like your posts dude, but I think you should shut off your little witch hunt on this guy...just because he doesn't see the Pats* as public enemy #1 like most of us here doesn't make him any less of a Bills fan. Just sayin... -

That doesn't make much sense. The game hinged on a field goal attempt. So since Norwood missed the field goal, that means the team did not play a good game? But if Norwood DID make the field, that suddenly means the team DID play a good game? I understand, and agree with, your point about winning being the ultimate goal...but I think your logic is a little bit screwy on this one. Good efforts often fall to great efforts. Wouldn't you say the Cardinals played a good game in this last Superbowl? -

Fair enough, I suppose. I still think he's great, and most of his stuff really speaks to me. I'll agree with you on Born in the USA, his worst album by orders of magnitude. He was bordering on John Cougar Mellencamp territory right there. But his two most recent albums (The Rising and Magic) have been a HUGE return to form from what you may see as his more commercial days. As to your general theme regarding "selling out"...who the hell hasn't? What popular musician never sold his soul a little bit to cash in at the bank? There are very few pure musicians out there, and we probably haven't even heard of most of them. I'll be impressed if you can conjure up more than a couple recognizable names who never made slightly sub-par music that would appeal to audiences a little bit more and make them more dough. Hell, the entire foundation of the freakin BEATLES was that crappy bubblegum pop I Wanna Hold Your Hand. -

20. And what? I'm not allowed to appreciate music that was before my time? They make these things called CDs that you can listen to in your car and elsewhere...I've heard all of his stuff and been to 3 Boss concerts, and I've found all of it magnificent. He's a great performer, a great songwriter, a great lyricist, and a great musician. What more can you ask? I'm not trying to pick a fight, but how exactly did I demonstrate the Boss being overrated? Just curious... -

The Boss is one of the greatest performers in the history of ever...who cares about proficiency? By the way, he IS proficient. And if Born to Run doesn't speak to you, then what does? Also, listen to his 2002 album The Rising, if you haven't already...and then tell me how he's not proficient. -
Touring Buffalo- What to see and do?
SageAgainstTheMachine replied to DDD's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree, Bocci's is not good. Not god-awful, but not good either. If you order a regular cheese pizza from Bocci's, it's fine. But once you delve into other toppings, the pizza becomes an unwieldy Frankenstein monster. I remember we ordered a Cheese Steak Pizza from Bocci's and you could barely see the cheese through the onions. Disgusting. To me, it doesn't get any better than Picasso's. I would literally kill a man to get the recipe to their sauce. Only problem is their wings blow. No meat on them bones. -

How in the hell would you know if he's a d*ck or not? What has he ever done even remotely distasteful? Give me a couple examples, or you're just being a hater for the sake of being a hater.

Ok, everybody. I know that we have lots of different tastes in music around these parts, so I'm curious...what are your top ten favorite albums of all time? Now, remember, these are the albums that YOU, personally, like to listen to. Not the top ten GREATEST albums, not the top ten most influential, just your top ten favorite. Pretend you're going to a desert island where nobody else can listen to these albums and judge your taste in music. If all ten are The Beatles, that's fine. If all ten are Hannah Montana, that's fine too (though I wouldn't admit it). By the way, I'm not looking for a 10-1 ranking, just your ten favorite, no orderly countdown necessary So here's mine... Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run Queen - Sheer Heart Attack The Doors - Strange Days The Beatles - The Beatles (white album) The Killers - Sam's Town The Fratellis - Costello Music Green Day - American Idiot Jethro Tull - Aqualung Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

6% see obama administration as pro-Israel
SageAgainstTheMachine replied to erynthered's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So then why don't you understand that you can't extrapolate sample size validity in a linear fashion based on population ratio? Do you know the Law of Large Numbers and how your argument is completely fallacious due to it? -
Man, I try to block that out of my memory. Even after not recovering the onside kick, ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS GUARD THE SIDELINES! THEY HAD NO TIMEOUTS! THEIR ONLY CHANCE WAS TWO QUICK OUTS TO THE SIDELINES AND WE GIFT WRAPPED IT FOR THEM!

SageAgainstTheMachine replied to erynthered's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You don't have a very good grasp on statistics do you? If I live in a town of 3,000 people and I poll 1 person, by your logic I'm using a valid sample size because that's the proportional equivalent of 100,000 if my town was the United States. -

Derek Jeter is also NOT overrated It is so in vogue to say that the guy is overrated but anybody who watches the Yankees every day knows how ridiculous that is -

(OT) Gary Papa RIP
SageAgainstTheMachine replied to John Gianelli's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's a veteran of WVBR, the Cornell radio station I currently work for. I met him at a couple of alumni events and he was the nicest guy. I just got word of his passing through an email and it shocked me. RIP Gary -
Don't get me wrong, it's great that you've befriended a little person. I just don't think it's necessary that you accompany the little guy to the bathroom.

Yeah, I'm thinking about some fish for dinner.

How about Mike Weir? I don't care how much easier the course is today, 4 under at Bethpage after 7 is damn impressive. Let's see how he finishes out the round. After he The Masters, I figured Weir would be a staple in the top 10 for years to come, but this is really the first we've heard from him since.

Though peanut butter and celery is quite tasty. I applaud you on actually stomaching all the other stuff.
