Yeah. Rick Martin is dead now.

It's silver. 😉

The Stanley Cup is a different Story. The SC was built on disrespect! It was originally disrespected and used as a "peanut bowl" for many years. That's the tradition. The original Ottawa Silver Seven (Senators) got drunk after winning it... And tossed in the Rideau Canal...Upon waking up the next morning, they realized their disrespectful actions and went to look for it. Good thing the canal freezes over in Ottawa during winter because it was right there in the lock chamber of a flight lock in Ottawa... On the ice! NOW you know..."Tales from the Canals" Special Shout-out to my BFFs: @BringBackFergy @Gugny @Beerball @Seasons1992 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/sports/hockey/how-the-stanley-cup-wound-up-in-a-canal-or-didnt.html "The Ottawa Silver Seven, forerunners of the Senators, with the Stanley Cup in 1905, around the time that one of them is said to have kicked the trophy across, or into, Ottawa’s Rideau Canal.Credit...Bruce Bennett Studios, via Getty Images" Tom Brady needs to stop co-opting other's traditions. What a cheat...

Go @Gugny Go @Gugny Go Gug... It's your birthday 🎂🥳🎉 It's your birthday 🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁! 😆🤣 Ain't every day Gugny's birthday? It sure feels like it!

^^^This Kid gets cake that looks like an ass... And I get boopkiss. 😆 Some have the life! /smdh

If you know you're gonna fail... ALWAYS refuse the breathalyzer. Why give them evidence to use against you. Every minute is your friend...

This is redundant, but HFBD. Mods will be by surely to clean the mess up in Aisle 11. 😆 😉😜

Why can't we merge this with @Johnny Hammersticks thread? It was my birthday first. Anyho... Thnx... Can I celebrate it year 'round like @Mike in Horseheadsdoes? HappyF'ingBirthday Mike! Frozen. Cold. Ground up and in a freezer!

The reason I am exiled. I am a blue collar guy. Buffalo was a labor town. Most headquarters were elsewhere. When a company retracts, where does it go... ?? Back to its home base. During that industrial decline there were simply too many people in the area that were brought in during the boom years. The War years... The area couldn't sustain that labor population... Hence, the exodus.

The "Black & White" album by BoDeans is a good one from '91:

Definitely not "salt of the earth." LOL... If You live in Williamsville, laborers get rid of the snow for you. What's it really matter? 😆🤣

I think they say like 90% of people live within 100 miles of their birthplace. And... 9/10 Canadians 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦 live within a 100 miles of the USA🇺🇸... 😆🤣

Not me. Blame the Kentuckians!

Old story. You're decades behind,, keep up with the trends. It already got a different name 11 years ago: https://www.organicauthority.com/buzz-news/asian-carp-gets-a-new-name-kentucky-tuna "Kentucky Bluefin" Have they no shame rehashing 11 year old stories?

Thank the A-Bomb. Without exploding it, we would have never known it existed. See... The bomb is good for something! 😉

I was sleeping 😴. Just got UP. Actually... Stayed UP. 😉

Wow, that sucks it got really hard for him to leave. He should have planned on breezing in and blowing out. Next time jack a: It will be easier for him to get off and going. I wonder how much he tried to make off with before losing that wad.

"...And there's winners and there's losers But they ain't no big deal 'Cause the simple man, baby Pays for thrills, with bills, with pills that kill..." I am stuck spinning my wheels between the last two posts... But hey... Can we have a stimulus so people can make their summer home and yacht payments! In a way, who doesn't like sticking it to the rich. But the house always wins, this is like launching nuclear waste at the sun, you just know it will blow back at us.

Been using Sony S-Air for like over decade now. I forgot when the heck I put it in. Can play off the computer, etc...

RIP... The "Bullet Bra" will never be what it used to be! https://www.demilked.com/bullet-bra-vintage-fashion/

The FG before Half was right call. But, things should have changed after they matched on opening drive of 3rd... At that point it was clear, they weren't stopping them and dice had to be rolled more. An 11 point game is not out of hand even in the final 5 minutes of a game.

Why didn't the Chiefs invite him over. To be standing so far away and alone?

All been rendered obsolete by one thing we all have now:

Actually Arthur 2 looks like he had pleasing rhinoplasty... Got the Hollywood appeal all over his original self!

"Float On" by Modest Mouse, 2004 ^^^ Oops, didn't see this... What they said ^^^
