  1. About 20 years ago, I was working in Seattle for United Airlines. We had a DC10 arriving that had a lavatory leak. It's called a "blue ice" problem! What happens is the lav waste goes into a holding tank on the plane but if there's a defective seal at the lav service panel, where the lavs get serviced, the mostly blue fluid can leak out. When that happens, blue ice quickly forms at -60, and will either break off in flight, or in this case, accumulate. So the ice chunk gets big, and the airplane is descending for landing. Once it gets low enough where the outside temp is warmer than the ice, the ice melts and can fall off the plane. So this maybe 20 lb piece of frozen stuff falls off the plane. It's Sunday, and some innocent guy is watching football, and the ice hits his house. It went through his roof, and into his TV room. Scared his cat so much that it went through his screen door! Imagine dropping a bowling ball from 6000', and you'll understand what can happen. Of course, the ice will melt, it's all liquid because that's all that could leak, but still may not smell too good! SOOO if the toe fungus was part of the ice chunk, the story could be true!
  2. Most states allow a 24-36 hour period for you to cancel. You can: contact BBB, consider small claims court to recover your money-pain in the as* but you would likely win, or take it to your local TV station that is big on consumer advocate stuff. If they get behind it, that's better, because the typical car dealer hates bad publicity. Sounds like the finance guy was a real snake!
  3. Double secret probation for him??
  4. Are Beavers & Kangaroo related??
  5. Witnessed a Mob Hit in Miami in 1968, ended up in witness protection in Buffalo.
  6. What they left behind looks like the result of an out of control pool party.
  7. Somebody stole the pretzels AND the video!
  8. Cut Cassel, pay Dereus, and let Tyrod & EJ fight it out.
  9. We were in Kona Hawaii, a couple of years ago. Very volcanic, not many beaches. There was a Seafood restaurant there that gathered all the dinner scraps, and took them down to a make shift pier, and dumped them in the ocean. There were a lot of scary looking fish that came up to fight over the scraps. I'm sure the County health department wouldn't approve but it did have a certain entertainment value for the tourists.
  10. How did they answer the "do you have anything to declare" question, at the border.
  11. I think Jim is still on TV somewhere. Maybe he's "rehabilitated?"
  12. Well $400 Canadian is only about $303 USD, so maybe we'll all feel better now?
  13. You would have to take Niagara Falls Blvd., the bridges are all f'd again.
  14. Money for nothin! Anything song that was banned in Canada deserves consideration.
  15. IF we were to cut EJ, I have a feeling we will regret it. Just a feeling, but I can see it coming back to bite us when he's suddenly successful somewhere else..
  16. Does he really like the game? Is he anxious to watch a live game on TV? If he is, go for the real game. I know it's expensive but it could turn out to be one of those special memories for him. If you're really not sure, then give pre-season a try. A 12 year old boy can be a hard read sometimes.
  17. That's OK, I'm planning a movie about myself, called out of South Buffalo. Chances are, they'll be more white people in that one!
