  1. At least the guy proposing this seems to have a better idea than the old one. A much smaller boat (1/4 the size) for one thing. It won't carry cars. Lower price point. And as a 'Sibley', he's got a family background in marketing & sales (Sibley's department stores) and transportation (the family started Western Union). He's got to have buy in on the other side of the border to make it viable - it can't just be New Yorkers going to Toronto. If the new boat won't take cars then he's got to have cars available over here - you can't get anywhere from Charlotte without a car. The good news - it will be 100% private. The news said he hoped if he could get everything set up it could be running next summer.
  2. Well Abby did go to Our Sisters of Mercy high school here in Rochester...
  3. They pay me to stay on Earth.
  4. I am always amazed at how good Abby Wambach is in the air. She gets so much higher than anyone around her and has such timing and control to get up to the ball and then put it where she wants it with her head. To be able to continually do that when everybody knows that's the plan is a testament to her tenacity and skill. And she's from Pittsford
  5. Starting to look for tickets now...
  6. I'm liking what I've heard from Manchester Orchestra so far.
  7. So far the family seems reasonable. They say they won't sue, and that the guy died happy, doing what he loved and wanted to do.
  8. I work with someone who is married to a sherriff's deputy who was on the scene. Here's a summary of what that person had to say: It looks like they brought the guy up to the ride via the handicapped access ramp and helped him into the front seat. He made it past the 2 big hills/drops. At some point after that the guy's baseball hat blew off and it appears he may have reached up to grab it and that's what released his grip and got him elevated enough to be thrown out. He went over the front of the car, which then hit him at top speed. I guess the other people in the first few cars were covered in body parts. The ride operators, who had no idea what had happened, let the next train go through the ride. I'm not sure on the physics of how someone would get thrown forward in that case unless it was just as the ride also hit some slow-down brakes or something.
  9. a bit of an update: http://news.yahoo.com/questions-swirl-vet-falls-ny-coaster-213420471.html
  10. You only need tickets for night practices.
  11. I have half-plates
  12. That was Mary Tyler Moore. You're thinking of Grace Kelly, the singer for Jefferson Starship.
  13. or a gulla-bull
  14. I think that's on me
  15. And yellow mustard.
  16. Compared to her contemporaries, she was the hottest thing out there. Navratilova, BJK, Margaret Court, Virginia Wade, Evonne Goolagong... I always thought Pam Shriver was cute too.
  17. I dunno about crying, but Whitney Houston's Star Spangled Banner still gives me goosebumps. I may have cried a bit in the Stadium when she performed it before SB XXV.
  18. Webster Hots is doing some AWESOME plates. Way better than Empire or Bay. The tater tot option is a nice addition, and my new usual is a philly cheese steak plate with peppers onions & mozzarella, with tots & mac salad, mustard onions hot sauce (ie everything).
  19. Better than a Kinks concert I would guess.
  20. Which he did again as the Bills kicker against the fish a year or two later.
  21. Video of the segment: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d82083034/Jim-Kelly-to-Bills-fans-Hang-with-us
  22. Wallace Francis 101 yard kickoff return against the Eagles.
