My name is as Vanilla as they come...I've been using it since I was much younger at the old BBMB.  It was during the earlier years of the drought era but at that time the Super Bowl years didn't seem THAT long ago and I still would often watch the old highlight videos and read books about the Bills glory years etc so even though we sucked I was a prideful Bills fan....figured I would throw in the number 12 for good measure and I'm sure I don't have to give an explanation on what the number 12 represents.  I have thought about updating my name on here once in awhile but I also can't seem to bring myself to go through with it.  Think I might be stuck with it for life now!

I was at work in downtown Albany and I messed up & didn't capitalize the N & Y for N.Y. so it ended up Albany,n.y.

I was living in Guilderland at the time but Albany sounded better & was more recognizable.  

Thanks, now we can steal your identity😄

my daughter in law is from albany. Her parents both retired professors from SUNY Albany. So Now it's a family connection to albany. and Ulster County an hour away.  :-))))  I hope to visit your area with WNY as often as I possibly can 🙂

for one of our sons, I really tried to convince my wife that we name him Augustine (and then shorten it to Augie). I used to like this one song called Augustine’s Confessions (something more), and was a fan of St. Augustine. But alas, she overruled me! 
 

FYI, here is the song:

 

 

miyagi I saw this band as an after Padres freebe promo after the game concert at Petco Park. I found out they are local socal guys from I-5 North area arounds I think Encintias, La Jolla...Im not sure I'll google. Christian rock band that has solid careers in music. Good for them! 

 

EDIT: wiki says san diego/carlsbad. I was close.

yup— they are San Diego based. Been listening to them for 20 years. Just a solid group of guys and musicians. They had a documentary out a few years ago you may want to check out about creating their album— “Fading West”— lots of So Cal scenes and concerts.

It started as Groin then (d)evolved into this one.

 

As a tech nerd, I got involved in this programming language called "Ruby": mailing lists, code patches, going to conferences, etc.  This one person appeared on the mailing list using the name of 'bigmacturdsplash', and at first I thought they were going to ruin the mailing list.  And yet, they were super nice and helpful.

 

In that light, and not to say that I'm helpful, but...

My parents named me Kevin, but my brother who was 16 months older couldn't pronounce it and did the phonetic equivalent and said "Guffin" ("K" and "G" are formed the same in the mouth as well as a "V" and an "F") So instead of correcting him the family went with variations of Guffin, Guff, and since I am from the Buffalo area, for the board I just concatenated Guff and Buffalo.

Most Balvenies are fantastic. I love their 14yr old Carribbean Cask. I like just about everything that is not "peaty". 

 

My new favorite is the Glenlivet 14 Cognac cask. I can get in South Florida for $45  https://www.theglenlivet.com/en-US/the-collection/14-year-old


That’s a nice one; Balvenie price point is tough to justify most times. Have become a fan of Glenfiddich 15 year solera. Just picked up a Kirkland 24 year expression. Might get into it if the Bills get to the AFC Championship again.

Pete, pretty self explanatory.  Pre 2001 (around) TBD reload, where you had to reregister your name, I was Peter.  But upon reload a Bills fan Peter from Florida beat me to the name, hence why I became Pete.  Where did  Peter go?  He was on this board a long time, but I havent seen a post of his in a decade

I had seasons for years. Through high school with my family and then in college with buddies and my then gf, now wife. This was drought era circa 2005-2016
 

I came to the board around then as “AlwaysBillieve.”

 

They hired McD, I dropped my seasons, the bills broke the drought and now I’m emotionally unstable.
