  1. Summertime, an' the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high. Oh, yo' daddy's rich and yo' ma is good-lookin' So hush, little baby, don' you cry.
  2. I think this is good advice. An important aspect of New York winters other than snow is clouds. My son in law is from Connecticut, and his first long term experience with being away from home was a few years in Ithaca. He didn’t mind the cold or snow, but he said the fact that the sun didn’t shine for weeks at a time in the winter was really tough. I can’t imagine people from California suddenly finding themselves in a place with no sun for weeks at a time.
  3. For some stupid reason I read through this entire thread. I guess I’m a gluten for punishment.
  4. I think if you play man to man against the pats, you will lose. They use the rub/pick/offensive pi techniques to separate the DB from his man very effectively. I think it has to be some sort of a zone approach.
  5. That's the night that the lights went out in GeorgiaThat's the night that they hung an innocent manWell, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer'cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
  6. It may have been my imagination or wishful thinking, but based on when the crowd got loud or quiet, I felt the Bills had as much if not more crowd cooperation than the Jets. Loud when the Jets were on offense, quiet when the Bills were on offense.
  7. You're motoring What's your price for flight In finding mister right You'll be alright tonight
  8. It's not a big motorcycle, Just a groovy little motorbike. It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys, That two-wheeled bike. We'll ride on out of the town To anyplace I know you like. First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster) Faster, it's all right.
  9. My wife was over paid for several weeks because of a clerical error at work. They let her pay it back over the same time period that she received the extra pay. I thought that was decent of them. If I found $120K in my account, I would tell the bank. If they don’t fix it, I would hold off using it for quite a while. I would also make sure I could liquify some assets to pay it back. I am financially able to do that, but not everybody else can say that. I would bet that the people in this story who blew the money on toys don’t have assets they could easily liquify to pay it back, other than the toys they bought with the money. Reminds me me of those stories of people who win the lottery and are broke within a few years.
  10. It sort of makes sense to me. For a touchdown, if it touches the white line, it’s in the end zone. Therefore, to not be in the end zone, it cannot be touching any of the white line.
  11. The entire ball has to get over the line. From the replay, it wasn’t clear. Too many bodies blocking the view.
  12. I learned APL as part of a linear algebra class. It was a one semester novelty. Only a few computers in the computer lab had the special APL keyboard, which occasionally caused some added stress if none of the special keyboards were available. APL used special symbols for vector and matrix functions about 30 years before MATLAB came along with similar intrinsic functions. APL = A Programming Language.
  13. Bambi - ground up and in the freezer. Oh wait, that was Mario. Bali - a place far away, which is where he should go. Beri beri - a disease that results from a lack of vitamin B-1 (thiamine)
  14. I never used COBOL, but I programmed for engineering, not business. Basic, FORTRAN, C, C++ (a little). For the past ~ten years, MATLAB has dominated. Python for open source.
  15. Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away, I should've walked away It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
  16. Gronk used to overpower the DBs two or three times per game and get big yardage. Now AB will break free two or three times per game and get big yardage. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Shrug.
  17. I read an article somewhere that mentioned the idea of a sitcom based on this couple. I haven’t gone out of my way to watch a sitcom in several years, but I might actually make an exception in this case. At least once.
  18. Each month when my wife and I pay our bills I (usually) grumble and say ,”Why should we pay them, they haven’t been playing very well?” So maybe they should be the Buffalo Money Owed. Maybe the logo can be a dollar sign with wings to signify that the money is flying away. Since every game broadcast includes the obligatory scenes of chicken wings and Niagara Falls, the name should be the Buffalo Wings and Falls.
