  1. Did you ever consider a career in Politics? You could be the next Anthony Weiner! Nice pics., by the way!
  2. The guy was a Student Pilot and very lucky! That maybe explains the crunched landing gear. Hope he has a bunch of "renters" insurance!. He had 2 on others on board. When I was learning to fly, about the time when that airplane was new, you couldn't fly with passengers till you actually had your Private License.
  3. It's always been about the money. They have it, and Ralph wants it. Rogers is calling all the shots, and since they recognize that their time and facility have better profit potential without the BILLS, I expect there to be an amicable exit announced. As a Fan, I will be happy to see that!
  4. If Ceramic Squirrels are outlawed only outlaws will have Ceramic Squirrels!....Wait, that might work. The comedy value alone may deter violent crime.
  5. That's payback for Tom Flores & Art Powell!
  6. Snyder took "cheap" lessons from Ralph!
  7. No doubt it's the Economy. But also, given the choice of hi-def by the fire, or freezing your as* on the Frozen Tundra, it's not a difficult choice!
  8. The BILLS organization said that all would be looked after 1/1/14. Well, it's only 1 day past that. I at least give them to the end of January to complete their review and announce any additional changes.....Toronto included!.
  9. If you liked Dick Jauron, you'll LOVE Norv Turner.
  10. I keep looking for the Star over Lackawanna.
  11. Till I see some TAILGATE PROOF Laptops & Tablets, I don't see this happening in BUF. IF the terrorists ever perfect a Laptop/Tablet bomb, you won't be able to get them through security.
  12. Haven't seen a Headline like that since Irv Weinstein retired.
  13. Would that be for us or them? I've been there a few times during the past seasons and it's difficult to even get any scores much less find a Bills Bar.
  14. You overlooked the Toronto game.....18-1.
  15. Arrogance in NE is NOT limited to Sports Radio!
  16. As a life long (suffering) BILLS and SABRES fan, I can honestly say that a play like that is exactly the kind of crap play that normally would go against us. IF it was the Stanley Cup finals, it may even have healed all the previous wounds!
  17. Maybe that's why I'm confused between this and Dingus day?
  18. Merry Christmas to you & US too!
  19. IF we run the ball a lot, and keep Brady on his back (another 6-8 sacks would be great!) we can win. IF we try to beat Brady with our QB's we will not win.
  20. That's true! There was a Holiday Inn right at one of the Rochester Thruway Exits. I saw at least one of the AFC Championship games there. There must have been 10 of us in that little room watching on 19" Color TV. Not everybody had color TV then, so it as big deal! I remember the whole place erupting when Stratton hit Keith Lincoln. The hotel parking lot was unbelievable after he game.
  21. No matter where they play, it's during the winter season and there will be a weather risk. Look at the fiasco in Atlanta a few years ago. Domed Stadium, southern climate, no worries BUT then the ice storm hit. If winter is that big of a deal either move to the Southern Hemisphere or move the season to the summer and drive MLB out of business.
  22. The only way to deploy an airliner Emergency Chute is if the Slide is "Armed." You may recall hearing a cabin call to set doors/exits for departure, or arm slides-usually when the plane is pushing back from the gate. Likewise on arrival something to the effect of; set doors for arrival, disarm doors, or set slides to "safe" etc. Any airliner that is parked, either at the gate, or the hangar, will have the slides disarmed. If a slide is mistakenly deployed, depending on the plane, it's several thousand to to replace the spent slide and replace it. Not a good thing to do in today's job market! All the Boeing's have slide packs in the doors. There's usually a girt bar on the base of the slide pack that attaches to the floor of the cabin when the slide is armed. When they're dis-armed, the girt bar gets removed from the floor latches and usually snaps to the bottom of the slide pack where it's out of the way. Some slides are armed simply by the process of attaching the bar, while the wide bodies have a handle that arms the slide. Some of the Airbus's have slides outside the cabin, under the floor, below the door. You can't see the slide pack in the cabin because its actually under the floor and if deployed comes out it's own door on the side of the plane; This passenger that fell asleep was stupid. He had a short flight from Corpus Christi to Houston. Maybe 20-25 minutes tops. It's not like the seats in the lawn darts are that comfortable. He already knows he has to make a connection in Houston, for God's sake man stay awake for :30 and be responsible for yourself, just a little!
  23. There are no locks on the doors. People who don't know how to open the door may perceive it as "locked" but it's not, because there are no locks. Having said that, getting from the airplane to the ground, without stairs could be a challenge. No doubt the crews are at fault. First the cabin crew who is responsible to see that the plane is clear before they leave, and then possibly Maintenance or Ramp, whomever powered the plane down at the end of the day. Both are supposed to walk thru. Mostly to look for any left behind personal items, or security issues, but in this case, to make sure nobody is on board.
  24. That's usually said by people with a low number!
