  1. Agreed. But it's not just a WNY thing, IMO. A segment of the population has always been hard wired to be "against." It doesn't matter what [fill in the blank] is. But the more [fill in the blank] is touted as a positive, the more "against" they are. In WNY, the collective voices of the "against" are more distinct / less drowned out by the white noise of daily living found in bigger/faster growing places.... Here's the Olmsted masterpiece being lamented: It amazes me more people haven't been killed on those islands over the years, given the direct access to the water. Edit: This is priceless...Here's the "About Us" page of the OP link: http://niagararises.com/about/ We recognize that we can not look to the past and say any longer “we miss the good old days”. They are gone, we are left with what is. Inspired, we are doing what we believe in. We are painting a picture of the future and we are heading there. If you want to join us, come on along… Complainers, Negative Nellies and those stuck in the past be warned, what you find here may just change your mind about the future of Niagara Falls. Don’t like it, then get involved and be part of the change in Niagara Falls! Check the sidebar for the next meeting.
  2. OH NO!! How long before we see a "Gilmore Skipping Mandatory Mini-Camp" thread....
  3. Perhaps easier to game plan against as well. Schemes get stale, players get older, the opponents get smarter. It's the natural law of the jungle / NFL. That said, I'd rather our defense play like old tigers than a young rabbits...
  4. Sad example of the superficial cultural imperatives we live with today. OT: Couldn't help cringe over the first sentence: "Family photos paint a picture of a beautiful woman who decided to get buttocks injections." Ah, what great writing skills they're teaching in J-School these days....
  5. Don't hold your breath...
  6. Especially if he's on blood thinners for a heart condition. If you've ever seen someone on Coumadin or Plavix get a cut, it's like the Julia Child skit on SNL...
  7. Tight end.
  8. If we were gasket salesmen, we'd be rich...

  10. Neat story. Malkovich was supposedly having a smoke, which is why he was nearby when it happened. I guess the Ohio guy's really lucky, since John apparently just took up the habit again recently: "And alas, he also recently "stupidly started to smoke again," he said. "Yeah, not terribly clever," he chuckled. "Ah, such is life. I never pretended to be clever." http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/John+Malkovich+says+Casanova+probably+prolific+predatory/8470800/story.html The fact he declined to talk to the press probably means he doesn't think it was that heroic as well...
  11. Yeah, that's what I thought as well. It's a lazy column that does nothing but attract click throughs.. OTAs are glorified gym class. The 'tell' will come once training camp opens....
  12. No pics, but a good layman's description of the procedure: http://www.ouh.nhs.uk/patient-guide/leaflets/files%5C110120maxillectomy.pdf
  13. Word... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/4570847014_60b45cb017.jpg
  14. Weird resemblance: https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/1500672768/h7679FF14/
  15. then... https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQLQeX2X8rQnMCqe7EZKzMXcoHHeTgbrmpP_ZvkpwQaHzUS8FIV now... http://blogs.houston...driga-mar22.JPG Big improvement, actually! ...
  16. Then: http://fanart.tv/fanart/music/47c8f88b-987a-4b64-9175-2b1b57809727/albumcover/billy-idol-50016625050b4.jpg Last Night at Artpark: http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?NewTbl=1&Site=BN&Date=20130605&Category=PHOTOGALLERIES&ArtNo=605009999&Ref=PH&Item=1&Maxw=602 (actually, for a 57 year old guy, he's in great shape--and put on a good show--although Steve Stevens almost stole it) http://s3.evcdn.com/images/edpborder500/I0-001/003/666/766-3.jpeg_/billy-idol-66.jpeg
  17. No love for the Big Bang Theory? Surprising omission...
  18. That line about "seeking a tryout" was clearly a "throw it against the wall and see if it'll stick" Hail Mary coming from his (or his buddy's) attorney. So's the intent by Kaiser to enter the Coast Guard, as criminal charges (filed or pending) would disqualify him from joining. And we wouldn't want this fine young man to be barred from serving his county, would we....
  19. Funny that it's a male moose he coming on to. I think he needs a few more talks with dad. Or how about this one from the same news source: http://www.9news.com/news/article/111490/337/Woman-injured-in-sex-toy-mishap?odyssey=obinsite Ouch!
  20. Yeah, I think that every time I visit a message board, TSW or otherwise...
  21. For the love of God, NOT another Gloria Allred story..... ..
  22. Noew that they've got a read on the in-house candidates, I'd expect the FA visits to start back up again...
  23. Strong work ethic... http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/crime/woman-i-figured-i-would-turn-a-trick#.UaptjECsh8E
