  1. i'm not really sure who she is, but she looks nice in that dress.
  2. i noticed in both videos that when they were finally subdued, the perps both said they were unable to put their hinds behind their backs. anyone know why this is? or were they just lying?
  3. you are right...the royal blue has been sorely missed....you know i don't mind when teams want to change their unis, but i hate when they mess with the colors! (golisano, are you listening? i think that it is the reason i tolerate our current road unis better than most people: at least they have SOME royal on them!
  4. the standing-still bison is not my favorite, but i so grateful that THEY LOOK LIKE THE BILLS AGAIN that i don't really care. hopefully we'll do like the jets and just KEEP the throwbacks next year.
  5. the other thing i noticed i that gallery is that billy shaw looks like he could still play!
  6. omg, kelly ann! ...i think it moved!
  7. i'm not a syracuse fan at all, but i like those uniforms...especially compared to the ones they replaced.
  8. wow...that is sweet. can we just ditch the navy ones once and for all?
  9. i think i've done this before, but i still gotta give a call to roxy's and the old wooden nickel in olean...two places that miraculously let me inside their hallowed walls to get righteously cocked before i had even turned 16. i still have an old cardboard coaster from the nickel stuck up on my fridge (apparently i had been using it as a bookmark in one of my college textbooks- when i finally got rid of the book, the coaster went on display). back in the days when the drinking age was 18, the boys and i learned how doctor up expired paper PA learner's permits with razor blades and a few specks of glue...you would LITERALLY cut and paste the numbers so that you would be born in 62 or 63 instead of 64 or 65. and then, when the first generation of photocard driver's lisenses came out, we taught ourselves to use make-up, mascara and a needle to paint the 5s over to look like 3s. then if, god forbid, you needed your lisense, you just smudged off the make-up before you gave it to the cop or whomever. anyway, the ritual was this: we would load up a car at 8 or so on a saturday night, drive the half hour north from PA, and get the night started at Roxy's. the bartender there was this gray-haired guy named "Corky" who had a reputation for serving ANYBODY who had the balls to sidle up to the bar and actually order something. 5 or 6 35-cent drafts later, we'd head to the Nickel to catch West, Fat Brat or one of the other 1,000,001 cover bands that seemed to be circulating among the same WNY bars at that time. god i wish i could remember the names of some of them...we are talking '81-'83 here. anybody? anyway, we would get all liquored up watching kick-ass cover band rock'n'roll, and then merrily drive home at 2am. i don't have any idea why nothing bad ever happened. we never wrecked, and the worst thing i can ever happened was that my buddy got pulled over for going 56 in a 35 zone heading into portville, blowing a .10 into the breathalyzer with a carful of minors, and being let go with only a speeding ticket. i guess times have changed a litle since then.
  10. i think i found the problem...
  11. hope he doesn't run for anything i can vote for- it'll break my heart to have to vote against him...
  12. i suppose if you can make it up for a single historic performance, frank deservs it...but i think bennett and hanson deserve it more.
  13. someone please give her a sandwich.
  14. i drive 5-6 hrs each way 2x per season on average...a few times i have gone up and back on the same day. i honestly don't mind geting up at 4am to make a tailgate, but that drive home after the game is miserable under any circumstances... i have on occasion gotten a room, but usually gas, food and parking is all i buy outside the stadium.
  15. sign him and trade him for a left guard!
  16. sure did! obviously i'm a bit of a renault fan so i was not unhappy with the result...but i felt bad for kimi...that was some harsh luck, even if it was a bit self-inflicted. also, i have to admit alonso comes across like a tool sometimes...like shaking his fist last week whilst being fast by a much faster car that he had been shamelessly blocking. honestly, i wish fisi would get it together and star running up front again.
  17. she made some rookie mistakes, but that's what happens to rookies. all in all, it was a great drive.
  18. uh-oh...contact under caution...jeez she wrecked herself trying to keep her tires warm under caution. ouch. ...too bad you can't change a nose cone in 5 secs like you can in formula 1.
  19. exactly. i don't care what you call it, it's still great to me.
  20. wow she really looks awesome...aside from the fact that she lost 10 spots by stalling it in the pits, she still is in complete control of the car. it's not often you get tagged in the left rear at 200+ without losing it.
  21. p.s...robby gordon's an ass. danica is at a disadvantage because even though she's built very very strong, she doesn't have the muscle to resist the g-forces that the ment do. as i type this she's running around in the top 15, and while i hope she does well (i don't care who wins), don't be surprised if she puts it in the wall sometime in the final 1/4th of the race. driver fatigue is always an issue at indy.
  22. you are wrong about women and ultras. people have used the superior ability of women to metabolize fat (a critical source of energy for races longer than 20 miles) during sub-maximal exersize to justify that claim...but you don't burn fat for an entire 50 or 100 or even the 135 mile badwater ultra...you burn fat and carbs simultaneously, and in an ultra you consume a ton of carbs to make up for what your muscles are incapable of storing. in the meantime, the superior heart size and muscular strength of men would make them better over the longer distance too. so if men are better, why did pam reed win the overall title at the badwater ultra?? not to be disrespectful, because she is a fantastic athlete, but the truth is, no really good runners do ultras. the best runners in the world of both genders are doing what they have been doing forever: running marathons, world cross-country, and the olympic 5k and 10k- because that is where the only opportunities to make running your full-time job exist. maybe pam reed has earned enough notoriety by winning the badwater to be a pro runner, but the next man who beats her sure won't. ultras are still little more than a curiousity in the world of elite distance running. i promise you that if the badwater ultramarathon paid as much to win as the london marathon, it would also be won by an african man.
  23. i'll say it again....my o my, you are one CRAZY dingo!
  24. it may be, but that's phil spector- he's always had some kind of bizarre getup working. it's a shame he's such a wacko...he is really a talented producer. "death of a ladies man" by leonard cohen, which spector produced, is one of my favorite albums of the moment. also, that "wall of sound" thing is for real- the old recording of "river deep, mountain high" by tina turner supposedly has something like 40 or 50 musicians all playing simultaneously with no overdubbing. how the hell do you pull that off?
  25. roscoe parrish = rj
