This bloke decides to throw a party and invites lots of people, telling them to bring their friends too. On the invitation he puts: "Fancy dress party - come as a human emotion." On the night of the party the first guest arrives and he opens the door to see a bloke covered in green paint with the words N and V painted on his chest. "Wow, great outfit, what emotion have you come as?" the hosts asks. "I'm green with envy," the guy answers. "Brilliant, come on in and have a drink," replies the host. A few minutes later the next guest arrives and the host opens the door to see a woman covered in a pink bodystocking with a feather boa wrapped round her most intimate parts. "Wow, great outfit, what emotion have you come as?" he asks. "I'm tickled pink." "I love it, come on in and join the party." A couple of minutes later the doorbell goes for the third time and the host opens the door to see two black Jamaican guys, stark-bollock naked, one with his penis stuck in a bowl of custard and other with his penis stuck in a pear covered in 'sex wee'. The host is really shocked and says, "!@#$ me, you could get arrested out on the street like that. What the hell are you supposed to be?" The first guy replies (in a strong West Indian accent), "Well, I'm !@#$ing disgusted and my friend here has come in despair."

so so wrong.

I see nothing from Merz yet to indicate he can unseat Fowler. Butler looks to be more of a Tackle, and might become our swing OT, but not a G. There is no reason for us to go to Nall. Now or ever. Royal is definately not an H-back type of guy. I like the idea of making wholesale changes, which I think we just did with the OL. As for the other positions, we do need SOME continuity for development purposes so leave them as is and we'll develop the guys we have there. I do think we need to have an eye on a big bodied WR for the FA period/draft. Marcus Colston at the Saints is the kind of guy who would benefit this offence right now. Using Royal/Everett at WR might help us, but we need a full-time big WR from somewhere, so we need to look for a Colston type of guy.

I'm with you - I like both of the Manning brothers. I get a kick out of watching them play, not just because they have the best Surname around.

I'm with you dear.... The Bills make me want to SHOUT!

Also an underrated album that I love (albeit from last year) is: Gemma Hayes - The Roads Don't Love you.

Actually - I always liken TBS to Thrid Eye Blind... I never heard anyone describe TEB as emo. I wouldn't describe TBS as emo either.

from Wikipedia: Taking Back Sunday is an alternative rock band with punk/hardcore/emo influences[1] from Long Island, New York. The classification of bands as "emo" is often controversial. Fans of several of the listed bands have recoiled at the use of the "emo" tag, and have gone to great lengths to explain why they don't qualify as "emo". In many cases, the term has simply been attached to them because of musical similarites, a common fashion sense, or because of the band's popularity within the "emo" scene, not because the band adheres to emo as a music genre. (The revulsion of some bands from the term emo is not unlike the retreat from the genre by the bands in the indie emo scene near the end of the 90s.) As a result of the continuing shift of "emo" over the years, a serious schism has emerged between those who relate to particular eras of "emo". Those who were closely attached to the hardcore origins recoil when another type of music is called "emo". Many involved in the independent nature of both 80s and 90s emo are upset at the perceived hijacking of the word emo to sell a new generation of major label music. Regardless, popular culture appears to have embraced the terms of "emo" far beyond its original intentions. So - I have to take back that TBS 'aint' emo... But I don't think they are not exclusively emo, but have an influence in the emo scene as well as the punk/pop/hardcore genre that seems to gave gone so much more mainstream today. TBS as emo would make them firmly rooted in the indie, off beat music scene, whereas in reality, they are part of the mainstream who can be related in a music sense as stemming from the emo origin, but being far enough removed as to not deserve the tag of emo over, say, punk-pop.

That's just gay! Men shouldn't touch the celery until all the meat is gone, you have ensured there is no meat clinging to the bones, and you have used all remaining edible portions of food on the plate to remove excess dip. Only if dip remains should men turn to the celery.

he might at least give us directions....

hahaha - i AM a nutcase. Any opportunity I get to come out there I take it... Not real easy to pick good years out when you have to buy flights up to 18months in advance to afford it.

Bravo. Gotta agree. If we could get an OL that can block, you'd see we probably have an above average TE corps.

I was at a game in the 3-13 years - the close game against the Panthers (one of the only teams worse then us that year). I was going mental cheering and yelling. Most Bills fans were so Blah. Wish people in the stadium would quit being so fricken metrosexual about it all, grow a pair, and start going wild for the Bills - whatever the outcome.

The Bills lost because I changed up my (losing gameday jersey - a McGahee replithentic away) for a Spikes hat. To make things worse, I actually watched the game live (0-4 for the year, 2-1 when having to follow in the internet, or not able to watch). Then, to compound the problem, I ate a jacket potato at halftime, whereas I would normally save eating dinner for after the Bills game (1pm kickoff). To add insult to injury I started to think that 14-3 at halftime wasn't an insurmountable deficit and that JP would dig us out of a hole. Future karma note: I am 2-1 lifetime for Bills games watched live at RWS on the first weekend of December. But 2-2 overall live at RWS. When it snows, when I am there, in December, we are 2-0, so start praying for Snow on Dec 3. When I am accomanied by a rookie football watcher I am 2-0, but 0-2 with a repeater. This time I am bringing a rookie. Sadly, the Bills have failed to get above .500 in any season where I have been to watch.

One play Merz came too far inside to help out Fowler, and didn't react quickly enough to the Blitz/stunt which ended in a sack. Over all he was OK. Gandy didn't exactly shine, but he was light years better than previous weeks, but he still struggles to lock down that outside edge. Villarial took his turn to blow goats today. Really poor display in the passing game. Fowler. Mr Matchstick arms. Can we get a solid OC from somewhere? Peters - hot and cold, but mainly hot.

Now you are talking... Y'all should definately pick up his new LP - which is a cut up/amalgamation of three EPs he made last year (or the year before). Really great stuff. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Supersunnyspeedgra...2219826?ie=UTF8 I've been a Folds fan for ages. Seen him maybe 8 or 9 times since his time in the Five.

NO NO NO NO NO NO and NO again. Try to tell me what Nall has shown that is better than JP - you'll come up with nothing. JP has to keep starting every down this year while he is healthy. Give him an OL that can pass block and he'll be 100% better.

NO NO NO NO NO NO and NO again. Stick with JP every game. Since when did Nall prove anything to anyone? This is reactionary crap.

how unlucky can we get? Poor JP - No Line, only 1 WR with any talent. Hardly the tools to succeed.

i really con't be pissed with the way we are playing. the only exception to that statement is our revolving door approach to pass blocking. can someone please bench chris villarial and mike gandy?

dammit yes! sorry - will edit. just frustrated. anyone know how to at least listen online without field pass?

Friggen XXXXXXXXXXX doesn't have the Bills game, but has 2 ATL games and 2 Bucs!! grrrrrrrrrrr

that rocks. Yes Van definately is The Man.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen Van Miller around lately? I hope is health is OK and he is going strong. I met him last time I was in Buffalo - he was a blast. Have been writing to him every now and again since I met him, and he always writes back... I wrote him the other day, but I am impatient, and wondered if any of y'all have seen him round Buffalo?
