Jim in Anchorage Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Nothing new. When I worked at the Ford stamping plant in Hamburg in the 70s that was a standard lunch. would head down to Woodlawn beach and pound a few then back to work.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 At least they are honestly on booze. Years ago, people on the line would purposely mess up to get OT. Like JiA said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 So !@#$ing up on booze is somehow better than !@#$ing up on purpose? It is a weakness, it is an addiction... Some can't control themselves, so they hit the bottle. At least there is an excuse. You think it is the other way?... They are both on purpose, one has a better excuse.

plenzmd1 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I always thought Trico made good wiper blades when they were still in Buffalo..more than a few guys had their lunch with the Bionics at Slomba's if I remember correctly at 3.a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Obviously not my words BUT: The old adage “Buffalo is a drinking town with a sports problem” is undeniably true. Late last year, Buffalo was listed among the top 25 drunkest cities in America, based on statistics compiled by the Daily Beast. Perhaps that has something to do with the information revealed in a new Trulia study: there are 6.8 bars per 10,000 Buffalo households. Of the top metro areas with most bars per 10,000 households, Buffalo ranks No. 7, just after not-too-far-away Syracuse. Maybe that's another reason that I switched from Chevrolet/Buick to Nissan in '83, and don't miss Mr. Goodwrench!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 In the early 80's I worked during the summer for the company my dad worked for. The company made machinery to cut / form sheet metal. One of the first observations I made was how a few guys would literally run across the street to the little bar. I asked my dad about that and he said that they shop guys only had 30 minutes for lunch and the bar owner would have the "drinks" pre-poured and sandwiches pre-made. It amazes me that the shop did not have more accidents / missing appendages considering that some of this equipment (mills, lathes, hobbers) was HUGE!!

Actually... You know what is a great blade? Those "Rain-X" blades... I literally have NOT changed them in 5 years! Really... And I got a spare set because they were BOGO! Wow... This the kinda poop that puts companies that depend on consumables under! Obviously not my words BUT: The old adage “Buffalo is a drinking town with a sports problem” is undeniably true.

Where did Milwaukee and the State of Wisconsin fall? That is one lush area! hope you're wrong. we decided to give "american" cars another try. cars are now much more international in origin. the buick we just got is a rebadged german design (opel) made in oshawa, ont at an assembly line with historically good quality products. so far, so good on the build quality... Oh great... Nothing like a couple quick Molson Canadians to start your afternoon on the line off! ;-) :-P I will remember that when I am tooling around in my new lacrosse! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as anal retentive anymore... Look, we got citizens in Mercer, PA getting into their vehicles that can't stop their heat from going off and through their child's chest. We are slipping as a country... You what it is... "Just turn the key cars." LoL... Just imagine if I had to reiterate everyday to my wife what the winter starting procedure is for a carbureted vehicle... I would go further out of my mind!

Chef Jim Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 We never worked with very sharp knives and hot boiling oil while high, drunk, stoned, bombed or polluted. Never!! <------------ Well there was that one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
