How Often Do You Go To The Movies?
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Considering the price of soft drinks at those places, I haven't even begun to look at the prices for alcohol. I went to one of those places once, Star Cinema is what it's called here in Texas. Don't know how big the chain is. It was a movie I really wanted to see, and it was the only place with a showing that fit my schedule. I had just had a big steak dinner with family, so I can't speak for the food. They do a decent job of not bothering the other patrons. But I don't like it when I'm trying to watch the end of a movie, and they're having me close out my tab of a Coke Zero and some popcorn. -
How Often Do You Go To The Movies?
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in Off the Wall Archives
That's the reason why I go out of my way to know the least about entertainer's personal lives as possible, especially. Even if I find out something I like about a person, say we share a political belief system, I don't want to know how they feel. When I'm watching a movie, I only care about the character and their life. -
Christmas Movie All-Time Recommendations
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Comedy in general is like this. Comedy is some that relies on the absurd and unexpected. So when you've seen it multiple times, it isn't that funny. -
With Netflix, Hulu, etc, I rarely go to the big movie theater as just a date night or something to do anymore. If I go to the theater to see a movie, it's because A: I can't wait to see it, or B: It's a movie that would be more enjoyable on the big screen. This year, the only thing I've seen at a major theater has been Solo, Bohemian Rhapsody (in IMAX), and Creed II, because I REALLY wanted to see it. Otherwise, I wait for the dollar theater by my house to show it, which is only 50¢ on Tuesdays. EDIT: I also saw A Star is Born, but that was because the movie theater was recently renovated and gave out free tickets as a promotion. The renovation was behind, and it kinda sucked because the only working concession stand was one of the small ones on the opposite end of the theater we were in.

Do you or your family save Christmas Cards?
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
The only time I save, hell, really the only time I read any sort of card is one with a personal message written to me. I got a ***** ton of wedding cards sent to me. Unless they had something meaningful written in them, they all got tossed right away. I don't even waste my time reading some sappy poem that as put in there by someone else. -
Your Concert Experiences
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in Off the Wall Archives
So yeah. I figured my wife was getting me Stones tickets. And I'd have been ecstatic to sit in the nosebleeds. She got my whole family to pitch in to get me on the field. Literally cried when I opened the gift. -
Yeah. I brought a copy of his live album and it was almost all black, so I made sure to bring a silver sharpie. He signed the one white section of the whole thing. Glenn Parker stole my dad's pen at a Bisons game once. I had no idea who he was at the time. Speaking of political figures, my aunt's ex husband was in the Secret Service. He got a personalized autograph from Ronald Reagan. My uncle was there when he signed it, so we know it's not a fake. He keeps it in his closet because he's a staunch conservative Democrat. I think it's kinda dumb. I lean to the right but if I had a personalized autograph from Carter, Clinton, or even Obama, that would be in a frame somewhere. It's just a cool thing to have.

Not an autograph, but in the early days of the Sabres, my grandmother used to work at the Aud. Whenever a stick broke in practice, they'd just throw them off to the side and get a new one. My grandma would take them home, my grandfather would tape them up and play with them. My uncles never had to pay for a hockey stick, and always had genuine Sabres sticks to play with. I used to work for the Bisons. San Diego Chicken came to town, but the game was rained out. Contractually, he could have just left and collected the paycheck anyway for showing up. Instead, he had an autograph/photo session for about an hour and a half. Brought him and his crew a bunch of leftover burgers that had just been sitting in the warming tray since the stadium was open, and they were forever grateful. Hung out with him for about half an hour waiting for a ride. Really nice guy, and even let me wear the head. Used to play minor league hockey back in the day. Watched the first ever Little League World Series video review with him.

Draft "misses" by Buffalo
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Actually, yes. I forgot to bring my phone to work. It's a slow day, and I can only go to unblocked sites. Lol. -
I was at a Bisons game once, in early April, so nobody was there. I had just gotten into a car accident, so I had a cast on. There was a player in the autograph stand with no line. So I walked up and put my cast up to him, he just shook my hand and was confused. Lol.

You always hear about the players the Bills have passed on in recent (20) years. But how many of them would have even had success in the team that we had at the time? Biggest names we hear are Brady (Who was a diamond in the rough that every other team passed on 6 times) Gronk Could have traded up for Big Ben Russell Wilson Just to name a few.

If I recall, that specific scene was actually recycled footage from a Curly episode. -

Pyramid scheme or MLM?
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to Not at the table Karlos's topic in Off the Wall Archives
A guy I work with was raised in a literal cult growing up. Said he got the same eerie feeling when he was invited to one of the "meetings." -
Pyramid scheme or MLM?
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to Not at the table Karlos's topic in Off the Wall Archives
In the case of my friend I mentioned earlier, he was making a considerable salary before he was laid off. From what I could see, his desperate situation made him that way. -
Pyramid scheme or MLM?
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to Not at the table Karlos's topic in Off the Wall Archives
"Almost every job is a pyramid scam. You have a boss, and he has a boss, and he has a boss above him." Yeah, Chad. But I didn't give my boss an $800 check to allow me to work here. -
I almost forgot Weird Al Yankovic.

Pyramid scheme or MLM?
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to Not at the table Karlos's topic in Off the Wall Archives
There's also this weird hero worship. Not just of the founder, but even of the more successful members. I knew a woman who was very mildly involved in one, and went to the national convention. She happened to room with one of the most successful women in the company, and they sat next to each other, and the whole convention they kept getting stopped so someone could take a picture of/with this lady. And if you ever get a chance to watch/listen to some of their training material, its usually just self help, believe in yourself BS. -

Probowl selections - No Bills Selected
The Real Buffalo Joe replied to One Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The thing about special teams players, at least with fan voting, the average fan doesn't know anybody more than Vinatieri, and their own kicker. Plus, Hauscka had been missing a lot during the voting. Those of us who know, understand it's mostly the new holder, but most people just see the misses. -
Does your office have grab bag gifts?

Joke's on you. A hooker would be cheaper.
