Billy Mays' Death Attributed In Part To Use Of Cocaine.
BillsWatch replied to Steely Dan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If coke was legal he had a perfect product to sell - not only would he recommend it, he sampled it and used it. -
We turned our 1997 van into a car (easiest way to get the full cash is downsizing) but we have been considering doing it for a while anyways. If not for CARS program we may have just kept it for errands since we probably would not have gotten too much in rebate so we government got it off the road. 115K in 12 years with very little issues and it was made in Detroit. I hope car bought is as reliable as old van. My wife objected every time salesman called it a clunker.

Do they have a webcam? I need to work 2nd shift meaning I miss tailgate. I'll also miss the HOF presentation and game but at least my wife can tape those. Well maybe they will put people at exits and refuse to let people return. Would not be first time NFL has done this. They will pre-write story and just call in whatever differences or quotes they want. They can write a more in-depth one later. Felser probably already has submitted his editorial before event.

You put that together and get a sick red panda with blues ..... If people are interested in logos take a look at previous year pictures to see how well they have been done in past. Watch out though T-shirts shrink - my wife wears the one I bought 10 years ago because it does not fit.

what is your burning software of choice?

German companies do well in this frankly (insert smilie here) because it fits well to them. While US is known for creativity and individuality, Japan for long term outlook and group mindset, the Germans are type who thrive on extremely detailed oriented improvements with lots of patents on these type of things. A German company was first for example to lease rights to OCR algorithm I invented for Hughes understanding immediately how to utilize the process changes I came up with. Read paper on patent 5970171 [Apparatus and method of fusing the outputs of multiple intelligent character recognition (ICR) systems to reduce error rate] if you need help sleeping. Doesn't help me since I helped write it unfortunately. They are also sticklers for spelling and creating new words which is great for some things but terrible for some new ideas. -
If the Senate approves the additional money, it's likely to lead automakers to increase production and bring back laid-off workers. Many automakers reported low inventories due to increased sales from the program at the end of July. Already Hyundai Motor Co. has added a day of production to its Montgomery, Ala., plant, and Ford is considering increases. Among states, Michigan has taken most advantage of the program, requesting more than $44 million in vehicle vouchers. California dealers had requested nearly $40 million in vouchers, and Ohio had sought nearly $38 million. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_cash_for_clunkers I am sure Ford & GM were fully marketed to employees & unions as way to get more work once inventory on lots was cleared out. Fellow Bills Backer working in import, un-unionized auto plant in south (I forget which state, Tennessee or Alabama) told me management was going around reminding about program and some got fliers on cars in corporate parking lot.

If you need a reminder just ask someone to call you. Someone is usually at tailgate by wakeup time even for a late game. I am going. Boss said I got time off now I just need to keep job. I got a cheap flight on SW going up Saturday returning Monday to BWI. Now if I can just find where I saved my details. Unlike SDS I do not need tickets - I need ticket, just one. I may try the wait until after kickoff with scalpers this year since I am paying for rental car and plane rather than driving.

Not complaining just wishing I could see him again. -
If they are going to change it just be original and sell name - team, stadium, parking lot, field house, internal roads, etc. Will blow out any other team stadium deal and is very NFL classic since many teams started with corporate names.

Even worse it is more incompetent than DC Tom believes and it has nothing to do with political parties.
-
If they are going to have two rookies start they need to make sure they have a solid backup who can play either line position and does not need a lot of reps. It would also help if they can find a player who can perform as 6th lineman in cases where we need extra blocking who would know which player will need extra support based on defense/yards/down. I hope that McKinney or Scott could do that.

LV Ladies' Lingerie Contact Football teams already has that name. I think you meant 'The LapDancers'.

How would Bills have taken Harrington (who was drafted at #3) and Mike Williams (who was drafted at #3) in 2002 in order to have a double bust? it is even more unrealistic. it is still Fantasy GM trying to label Bills as double bust. You could make a case that Bills would have selected Harrington rather than Williams if Millen did not but that does not make it a double bust. You could argue that Bills may have chosen a bust with 4th pick either way if things turned out same way but it is still supposition.

At least honest trolls admit not being Bills fans; many of Nancy Reagan's tea party admit to not even watching Bills anymore and just using stats from websites.

so, is marshawn still waiting for a suspension update?
BillsWatch replied to nodnarb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Haven't you heard? Vick's sentence should be commuted to time served. it does not matter that he could not play because he was behind bars. Somehow participating / organizing a interstate criminal organization is something which should be ignored. Remember Godell is JUDGE AND JURY and is punishing not just on convicted crimes but supposed crimes; in Vick's case he ignores all of the crimes authorities decided not to pursue. -
I doubt the Bills would have drafted a QB in 2002 AND 2004 hence no so "double bust" except in fantasy football. if Bills HAD drafted Joey Harrington in 2002 our draft position would likely be different as well. Hypothetical "what ifs' rarely work except in SF movies. Joey Harrington is still in league as 3rd on depth chart. I have never heard one NFL team bring Losman in for interview since being let go. That is not a good sign for him.

Haven't see a John Valby concert in almost 30 years. Too bad they did not schedule it Saturday before Bills game when i was in town. -
Who cares about PITA? Or his fans that word polls so it is caring about PITA or signing a QB who has not played a down in two years and wasn't effective at time as QB. Since you did not state as QB or not I voted yes - hire him to pick up after Buddy. If you want a true poll don't make editorial as part of poll.

Well OK then. TSA confiscates Disney toys
BillsWatch replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
TSA is too inconsistent with their rules. In DCA I put my shoes into the bin which had an advertising regarding the antiseptic coating on bin which killed the germs. It specifically was targeting shoes being put into it which made sense. In LAX when I was returning I was told specifically to take them out of the bin. It was not a date change thing but an individual TSA office thing for when I returned from DCA 5 days later again it was no issue in DCA but it was in LAX. -
Organizations often file phony names with USPTO which are used as ways to track internal discussion 'betas" to finally copyrighted names. Not saying this is the case this time but just because they put in a copyrighted name or logo does not mean it will be used; the Bills have done same thing on unused logos.

Did car shopping today to take advantage of CARS program
BillsWatch replied to BillsWatch's topic in Off the Wall Archives
You could have gotten clunker money if you had bought another minivan. Program rules are different for minivans and cars which we found out when doing car comparisons. We went to one dealer who was willing to do $15,300 for car we wanted ($15,000 was our price before our $300 GM credit card rebate) but car was red and my wife did not really want a red car. I called original dealer back and said my wife was going to sign and buy another car. Sales guy talked to manager again and managed $15,750 with $3000 on credit card (not GM credit card) which was close enough for my wife to buy the moon blue car. We always pay off credit card so basically it is a free loan while we reorganize accounts. The smaller dealer is closer, includes oil changes for 1st year and free car washes for life so while we paid a bit more my wife is happy. Dealer has accepted car so getting money from government is dealer's issue. Oh and we found out GM credit card rebate was $218 not $300. The GM credit card rebate program sucks which is why we switched cards years ago. We also found out that dealer who offered $15,200 has been taking in a lot of CARS program cars before program details were finalized and may have to eat costs. Not a great idea but it kept sales going in. -

Did that last time with Edmunds.com when I was looking using a unused e-mail address and new phone number. Neither was getting junk messages but after I did I was getting all kinds of junk mail and messages including very specific mailing address typo matching what I provided. Either Edmunds.com or someone paying for addresses as a dealer (I do not imagine it is very difficult to register as dealer for them) was using it for spam harvesting directly or for resale. It does not surprise me since many places put you on default marketing list automatically require you to opt out and then saying it will take 10 days to a month to remove you. May try again but it may be easier just to do web searches myself and make some phone calls.
