  1. I didn't steal it. Clearly, mine is better, as I have one more Bills logo. It's even stated in the avatar, and has a different background. Don't be jealous of my logos. You're mad at the paki cricket team, not at me. I forgive you.
  2. Could this possibly be a coincidence?
  3. CGF already got her gift from us, Matt Cassel. Sorry, no refunds or exchanges.
  4. Next game, 12-13-15. Notice how they count in order, skipping of course, number 14. 14 days = 2 weeks. This is the 2nd week, that we play an NFC East team this year. Coincidence? Bills=win.
  5. Nah, just need a job with less down time.
  6. For Beerball and Gug.
  7. A new patch for CBF.
  8. Fergy's old one is starting to rust, so I got a new shiny one.
  9. What are your favorite and least favorite accents? My favorites are a slight southern drawl, or an australian accent. Least favorites are Bahston/New England and NYC/New Joisy.
  10. In all honesty, I love the Beatles, but I do feel they're over rated. Great song writers, but from a musician standpoint, George was above average, Paul and John were ok, and Ringer was below average.
  11. I picked Chip as a coach, however this is under the assumption that he's not the GM, or doesn't have the roster power that he has.
  12. Thank you Beerball. I'm glad that you're sticking up for my safety.
  13. The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved. For most of their career the Beatles were four mediocre musicians who sang melodic three-minute tunes at a time when rock music was trying to push itself beyond that format (a format originally confined by the technical limitations of 78 rpm record). They were the quintessence of "mainstream", assimilating the innovations proposed by rock music, within the format of the melodic song. They were influential, yes, but on the customs - in the strictest sense of the word. Their influence, for better or for worse, on the great phenomena of the 60s doesn't amount to much. Unlike Bob Dylan, they didn't stir social revolts; unlike the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead they didn't foster the hippie movement; unlike Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix they didn't further the myth of LSD; unlike Jagger and Zappa they had no impact on the sexual revolution. Indeed the Beatles were icons of the customs that embodied the opposite: the desire to contain all that was happening. In their songs there is no Vietnam, there is no politics, there are no kids rioting in the streets, there is no sexual promiscuity, there are no drugs, there is no violence. In the world of the Beatles the social order of the 40s and the 50s still reigns. At best they were influential on the secret dreams of young girls, and on the haircuts of young nerdy boys. The Beatles had the historical function to serve as champions of the reaction. Their smiles and their choruses hid the revolution: they concealed the restlessness of an underground movement ready to explode, for a bourgeoisie who wanted to hear nothing about it. They had nothing to say and that's why they didn't say it.
  14. Lol. I've never heard it called that before. From what I've heard talking to people who were at the old Cowboys stadium, Dallas fans are disapointingly boring and reserved in the stadium.
  15. Maybe you shouldn't have campaignedso hard for it then.
  16. When going to watch the Bills on the road what cities have the best fans to tailgate with and have fun with? I've only been to two. New Orleans was awesome, the people were extra friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Houston twice, and their fans were just neutral. No trouble, but not even a lot of fun back and forth banter/trash talk.
  17. Don't even get me started on that damn Bob Dylan. With all of the gramatical errors in his lyrics.
  18. I'm going out on a ledge to say this opinion is sligtly bias.
  19. Pay your bill.
  20. Is it an iPad Mini? Those things can't fit Windows 10 because of how small they are.
  21. Honestly, if I thought he had any realistic shot, that's a good investment. A president's autograph is worth about $1,000.
  22. Simple, tell him its this way, or your siblings pull their financial support. Beggers can't be choosers.
  23. You could take them home and make the two lists into a drinking game.
