  1. Saw this in the Sunday paper. I suppose it was inevitable but I think this is very bad news long term. I have no idea how big a mess 6 lbs of explosives make.
  2. I assume you know Layden was coach at Niagara Univ. during the Murphy years. If so I have to assume he talked with you about him.
  3. Very cool video, thanks for posting the link. I wonder how high the water level has risen? It can go up quite a bit. If that is the Canadian side, I have to guess the wind was from the south. Thanks to bdutton also.
  4. You didn't say whether it was on the column or the floor. I have never driven a manual on the column, so I don't know the pattern. Also, you should have asked how many manual drivers had to go up a steep hill with a stoplight on it. Always a joy. I did have on experience where I rented a car in France in 1977. The girl said at the counter said "Oh your an american, so you need an automatic transmission. Of course I said, "no I can do a manual." So I got in the car to drive it and it took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to get it into reverse. I thought all cars were the same and assumed it was like my Opel. The Opel had a ring on the shifter just under the knob you had to pull up. The rented car did not. I must have pushed and pulled on every knob and switch in the car with no luck. I finally pushed down on the shifter. Voila.
  5. Someday you will stop receiving calls. You should make the best of it while you still can. And if you like to see them Skype or Viber. Maybe that will cut down their frequency and they would probably enjoy it more.
  6. I just watched a documentary on alcoholics, which if I remember correctly was on HBO. It was quite the learning experience. I didn't realize that the body could become so dependent on alcohol, that it would actually kill you if you abruptly quit. It is best done under the care of a physician.
  7. MTV does but you have to pay extra to get it.
  8. McDermott uses clapping to signal plays. He just happens to do it immediately after the play.
  9. I find a little bit of humor in the fact you posted this on a Tuesday.?
  10. I think the saying " perception is reality" works good here. So people think George isn't on it, so that makes him not great. He is obviously great enough to pull off the songs he played on with and without the Beatles. That would seem, at least in my mind, to make him great enough. So really what makes a "guitar god." Speed? Interpretation? Originality? This guitar god thing is about like saying what your opinion of what the greatest song is. BTW, I was writing this as you were posting your above post.
  11. What so amazing? I heard this was the same guy who "killed him a bear when he was only 3"?
  12. First one, yes they get all back together. Yes, they do new material. World tour? Ask Row. I don't know how the individuals felt about touring. Maybe if people listened instead of screamed, yes. Second, Epstein brought his own issues. I don't think it mattered. See above on touring. When one of them went, they were done. They were burned out at the time as a group. This is a lot like speculating on who the Bills will draft, but you never get a solution.
  13. This happened with every item that became a collectable. It even happened with Hummel. I was talking to a lady who was in Germany with her Army husband during the 60's. When they moved back to the states in the 70's she sold most of her Hummel collection and bought a house with it. Today Hummel is close to worthless.
  14. You should have posted this in the thread about signing free agents. There are people who think this is the normal winter in Buffalo.
  15. He was looking for the juke box. He wanted to play a song by "Alive and Kicking." You can see him warming his dance moves before he got there.
  16. It never gets old!
  17. If you run out I can send you some.?
  18. I started watching it late one night. I made about 4 or 5 choices, then fell asleep about midnight. It was still going at 4AM when I woke up.
  19. Let's hear the real reason you wanted to crawl under the table.?
  20. Besides playing the position well, he was one of the best tacklers on those teams. And that is saying a lot.
  21. I have never heard that. I was referring to the fact he was the main sponsor of the invasion there in WW1.
  22. Back then I had a joke with my friends. Name the two best teams in College Basketball? Number one was UCLA, number two was the UCLA bench.
  23. Every time I watch either of these movies, I get really pissed off. I still can't believe Churchill recovered from that mess. TIL!
