  1. We don't have Monday off (we have tomorrow off), so I took Monday off.  I only wish I had taken Friday as well, then I'd be off for 5 straight days

    I heard there's a nasty bug going around at about 6:00am on Friday morning in the Baltimore/DC area. Just a head's up.

  2. Well, I'd say we are second only to Joe Robbie Stadium (or whatever its called now).

     

    Did you see it last week? (I go to a bar, so i catch a few minutes of all the games during Bills commercials, etc).

     

    About 50,000 people were dressed up as empty orange seats.

     

    It was pathetic.

     

    Anyone know where I can get an official attendance count for NFL games? Because this past Sundays Dolphins game HAD to have been less than 15,000.

  3. I have been asked before who I would pick if i had to, the Bills or the Sabres. It used to be a tough question.

     

    When the sabres went to the cup, me and a friend weight for 17 hours outside for tickets, and didnt get a single one. But, I was still crushed when they "lost" the cup to Dallas.

     

    But now, I know the answer, clear as day. I hadnt even thought about the Sabres until the other day when someone was bitching about hockey on the radio. If September ever rolled around and there was no football? Holy crap, I would go insane.

     

    So, sorry Sabres, and all you GREEDY, GREEDY players who can't figure out that your entertainment simply isnt worth as much as that of the NFL (due to TV contracts), but I really don't miss it all that much.

  4. I interviewed with a position in the CC HQ last week in our merchandising department.  The staffing person told me I might hear some feedback by early this week.  So I called her today and did not get a warm fuzzy after our discussion...."we have some more people scheduled later this week..." ..."I have gotten very little feedback yet, but they enjoyed meeting you..."  I am composing a letter to the 2 people i met with and plan on laying it on pretty thick.  I also have 5-6 people in the HQ that I either have worked with in the past, play cards with regularly and or are very good friends with.  Should I impose on these people to maybe do a drop by to say "hey I heard you interviewed The Poojer....".  Its not gonna kill me to not get this position, but Dognabbit I would love it.  What would y'all do?  any suggestions as to how heavy I should lay it on in the letter?  thanks in advance, and yes I know what to do here, i just want suggestions and advice.

    I don't know about writing a letter at all, but as far as people you know/play cards with? The saying ALWAYS holds true... its not what you know, its who you know. It might not be "fair" but life isnt. Ask them for a favor.

  5. Whatever we come up with, I'm in!

     

    Can we put together some sort of internet petition?  How about a petition thread on the board, getting as many names as possible.  Then, we bring this to the attention of the media (assuming folks here having such contacts).

    Im sure someone can get Howard Simon to talk about it. And Howard has to have contacts SOMEWHERE in a bigger media conglomerate than Empire.

     

    A Little work could shed the much needed attention on this.

  6. Ok, I'll say it again, and this is really to help you...

     

    Everyone saying "you'll be fine" and "it's not that bad" is good and all, but when you're in there, white-knuckled, you'll still be nervous. Call your doc, make a trip to see him, and he will happily give you a Rx for 3 or 4 mg or Xanax. (and 3 or 4 mgs should last you 6-8 flights, unless you are REALLY bad). People do get hooked on Xanax, but those are people who take it for everyday attacks, and use tons every day. If you were to take half of one mg, you would feel much better. A full mg? You'd be comfy as a bug in a rug.

  7. We are not to talk about that.

     

    Go knock on some wood, throw salt over your soldier, cross your fingers (on one hand), etc.. etc..

     

     

    Just kidding (kind of). Good question. Last week, he seemed alot more confident on it than he has in the last two games prior.

  8. Do we have anyone that could get us a first rounder that we would be willing to let go?

     

    I think this is a viable option:

     

    Trade Henry for a late 2nd rounder (hopefully).

     

    Then, trade both of our then 2nd rounders for a first round pick, hopefully getting us either the drafts nastiest OLineman or DB.

     

    Besides that, I dont see anyone worth trading to get a 1st rounder. Moulds? Hell no. I wouldnt trade him right now for a 1st and a 3rd.

     

    Ideas?

  9. I still don't understand what people mean by "fake boobs". Its a concept i don't understand. My theory:

     

    If my hands can touch them, they are real.

     

    I dated a girl in college who had breast implants. But believe me, her boobs were real. I could phyisically touch them, and they were fantastic.

  10. One word:

     

    Xanax.

     

    And I'm not kidding. Go tell your Dr. what you told us (minus maybe the sledgehammer and the needle) and he can give you a very small Rx for it. Just a few pills a month for such situations. Really, you wont feel loopy or drugged, just relaxed. I have this ridiculous fear of the dentist, and I take just one of those and Im good to go.

  11. Couldn't see the 3rd down catch by Lee Evans at the end of the game. All the Jests were in the way. Was the catch good?

    109311[/snapback]

     

    The toes of his second foot "bounced" off the ground.

     

    An objective opionion:

     

    Catch was good.

  12. Dave got SCREWED by Ricky.

     

    Imagine going into a season with 90% of your offense on the shoulders of one guy. That guy quits, but not in enough time for you to get a viable replacement (see: anyone but travis minor).

     

    from NFL.com

     

    "In his four seasons, has led the Dolphins to a regular-season record of 41-23 and a pair of playoff appearances."

     

    That's more than i can say for any Bills Coach since Levy.

  13. "Would you say there are a plethora of pinatas at my birthday party?"

    Yes, El Jaupo.

     

    Jefe, do you know what a plethora is?

     

    No, El Jaupa.

     

    Jefe, how can you tell me that there will be a plethora of pinjatas at my party when you dont know what a plethora is??!

     

    (that's from best memory, didnt want to just google it, but i LOVE that movie):

     

    "Signed, The infamous El Jaupo."

     

    "What does infamous mean?"

     

    "Dusty! Infamous is when you're more than famous!"
