I don't recall that song, so it's entirely possible. In my non-exhaustive search earlier, I did put in Karma Chameleon parody and didn't find anything. I suppose it could have been a radio parody someone did and it didn't survive the test of time. Like the "It's Friday I'm in love / I need to change my underwear" parody I remember on the radio in the 80s. Also not helping is people on youtube calling covers parody.

the autocorrect is strong with this one, unless Flowing lettuce is slang that I'm too old to get.

Youtube doesn't seem to know about it, so it doesn't exist.

Good point!

No kidding. What's the back-story on the Trump part? Someone throw a pair of xtra-small gloves on stage or something?

Are you saying Canada is a hipster?

You never know, the Sabres may end up picking #2 for four years in a row or something awful. It's not like Buffalo doesn't have a history of being #2 for long stretches. :ph34r:

Any thoughts of writing an Android widget so my phone can have a live-ish picture of the tower on my home screen? :)

I think mine prompts any time I pair with a Bluetooth device, but it's under Settings, Security, Smart Lock, Trusted Devices for me. Being they're both Nexus phones, it may even be in the same place on your phone! Hmm, this gets me thinking, I wonder if I could find a cheap Bluetooth or NFC device to attach to my bike so the phone would stay unlocked. Oooh, gadget, that would be interesting on my handlebars. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM75NL0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=Z0OCG2MACBL3&coliid=I1CAQ4HMHYIE84&psc=1

Off Topic OT - Keith Emerson ... ELP Has Passed Away
MattPie replied to Sabres Fan in NS's topic in The Aud Club
I saw them open for Jethro Tull at Darien Lake in the mid-90s. We were poor college (and HS) kids so we planned on sitting in the grass outside the fence and listening until one of my friends went up and found the exit door wasn't latched. We all walked in and took up spots in the middle of the grass "outfield". Great show! -
Furthering the point, If you look back through the drafts from 2006-2010 or so, you'll see some familiar names picking the top 5 (or at least 10). Tampa Bay, LA, Chicago, St Loius, Boston, etc.. You'll also see some other familar names, like the Coyotes and Atlanta popping up too, so it's not a sure-fire thing, but the teams that have been bad usually had other issues with budgets and funding.

I was really excited about safe places until RosePie went mobile. Now the lock screen is an essential part of her not messing up my phone. Also, turning off "brick phone after X attempts". :) The safe places when the phone sees a Bluetooth device is really nice for the car, though.

I did a PB pie last PI Day, it was good enough to make again (and easy).

NWHL Isobel Cup Finals - Boston Pride v Buffalo Beauts

I'm some bad luck, I flipped it on and 10 seconds later... -
I heard the news will be talking about Supreme Court Justice Smell any day now.

Western PA people, think Sheetz but I think the food is a little better.

That day and Pi day are the same day. Coincidence? I think not!

Wawa was founded in Wawa, PA as a bottled milk concern and has expanded a lot in recent years. Wawa is a Native American work for "goose", which you see in the logo. I know they're as far south as Norfolk, VA, but I don't know if they're gone further than that. They make a decent sub and have cheap gas and free ATMs.

Shoofly is an Amish thing around here, it's OK but sickly sweet to my taste buds. I'd describe it as pecan pie without the pecans (so moslty a gooey molassass-like pie) with some sort of powder topping. If I had to guess the topping is flour and maybe a little light brown sugar.
-
The convenience store chain? Decent subs, although if there's a Primo Sub wherever you are, you owe it do yourself to go get a Sharp Italian Sub.
-
What's weirder is they needed to add the little line on the bottom of the 7 to make it work. It's clever but I'd guess it's something someone noticed when looking at the numbers and not the other way around.
-
So Pi day is Monday, and even though PA has told everyone, "let them eat cake", I think I'm going to bake this weekend. What is everyone else making? I'm debating making my "usual" Maple Sweet Potato Pie, Key Lime, or something new.

A few notes to add: - If my Nexus 6 is anything to go by, you won't need as many cables around the house. It's rare that I run the thing out over the course of a day, unlike my old phone which I had to keep plugged in unless it was in my pocket. I keep a cord next to my bed and at work (even if I don't really need to keep it charged at work, it'll last the day), and rarely use others. This is even with doing things like having it stream Netflix or NHL for a couple hours while I'm working. I keep the fast charger in the living room in a box and plug it in in the kitchen in case I need it. - I've read the fast charger may (big "may") wear out the battery faster. I don't know if I believe it entirely, but since I had a bunch of normal chargers I use those for daily and overnight charging. - The fast charger is a Qualcomm standard (I'm assuming LG uses the same one as Samsung and Motorola), so there are a number of chargers that should work. Caveat emptor, but my Motorola charger works on my wife's Samsung and vice versa. It also works with various MicroUSB cables I already had. As I understand it, the trick is instead of sending just 5V (normal USB voltage) the phone can negotiate with the charger to send 9V (or maybe 12V) so there's more power available. It should work with any cable as long as the cable is wired right. - I have a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid (the really thin one that's essentially a strip of TPU and a clear plastic back) that's pretty nice, I've dropped the phone a couple times (most recently in the garage yesterday) with no issues. Plus my phone is gigantic so the slimmest case is good. - Enjoy the new phone!

I think once you get into the later second and third rounds on the NHL draft those picks aren't even that likely to stick in the AHL long-term.

FWIW, you're right that this is the example of when personal gun ownership works, even if it took the criminal a bone-head move (letting the wife go do something) for it to work out. I don't think most people advocating gun control would even argue. The counter argument, however, is that the handful of times per year something like this happens doesn't offset the thousands of people per year that are killed by guns even if you only look at the suicides and accidental deaths. That's why there's debate about the 2nd amendment. For example, gun activist mom shot by her 4-year-old son this week. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/09/us/gun-activist-shot-florida/index.html
