Yeah, the oven step is awesome It's unfortunate more places don't do it. Or the celery. Or carrots. Or fingers. Or the napkins. Sunnabich, I need to get to Buffalo, like now.

Java is fine, there's a whole host of JVMs for Linux (and Windows) to choose from. If I were doing it, I'd probably be writing it as Java webapp for Tomcat (that seems to be popular around here). That's speaking as an IT guy that's only do some very simple web work.

I've had wings on a grill before which were pretty good. I was sceptical but my friend dumped a bag of (I think frozen) wings on the grill on high, closed the lid, and left them other than stirring and turning occasionally. Plastic bowl of sauce like usual and they were pretty solid.

You beat me to it!

The fewer wings per batch the better. If you dump a ton in they'll drop the oil temperature down too far and they'll just be soaking in grease until it comes back up. (Disclaimer: I don't fry much of anything due to the mess, this is academic knowledge)

I didn't watch, so I can't comment on his play. With 36 points in the regular season, he's something like 38th for RW, so 2nd line material (basic stats). He'll probably get $4-5M, and that's probably too much for a 3rd liner.

If you guys want to set this up and SDS doesn't want to bother, I'd be interested in setting up Amazon hosting (or something) for it if Wildcard is writing it in a Linux-friendly format. If there's not much traffic there might be very small hosting costs which I'll cover. If it gets expensive I'd take a cut from the pot or something.

He's better than 3rd-line in basic stats, and gets paid far too much to "only" be there. Maybe on the second line with Samson and Moulson.

To expand a little: generally, NFL arenas are only really used for football and concerts. The NHL plays in more mixed-use environment. Also, it's easy to say: don't book on these weekend dates in January. The NHL needs: don't book too much in the latter half of April, all of May, and most of June. The NHL might need to squeeze 3-4 games every two weeks that you won't know the schedule until a day or two before it starts. I'm now wondering if the arena is required to leave days open no matter what. Does the F'N Center have a bunch of dates empty in June in case the Sabres went to the SCF this year? (OK, maybe Buffalo is a bad example since I'd guess the center isn't that busy, but somewhere like MSG...)

It's e. e. cummings, damn it! But then they won't get to crow about how bad they made the other one look (while we just roll our eyes). The only thing that bothered me about the exchange is that someone things GoDD has a bully pulpit and not a sandwich board on the street corner. We had cups with strings. :)

Shouldn't it have been a German car? So many questions.

Hopefully there's a 1% margin of error in there. :)

When was the last time the league expected Buffalo to be good?

So what's the negative for the board? They make a dangerous decision and the two outcomes are: they get away with it and profit, or the company gets sued, they get fired, and receive their fat parachute compensation for driving the company into the ground. After a year or two they repeat the process. It's a sticky situation trying to figure out who knew and who was criminally negligent, but we can't just go with "it'll hurt them in the pocketbook". Getting back to Chip and Bob from a couple days ago: the point (to me) wasn't that you give Chip (the rich guy) or Bob (the fry cook) $100. We should be talking about giving Chip $1000 in tax cuts or 10 Bobs $100 each. Those 10 Bobs are going to spend every penny locally, Chip might dump that money into a wristwatch or the East-Asia Fund in his IRA. To go a step further, the owner of that McD's, Tina, gets a corporate tax cut of $10000 on her business. She's not going to run out and hire a new worker if the current staff is doing the job. While she might lower prices (although I have a tough time seeing that), she's going to take that as a bonus to herself and she's in the same situation as Chip: she can spend that money anywhere. Maybe she'll put that money back into the business by buying an automated fry making machine and fire Bob.

Sorrentino's is closed, there's a sports bar in the location. My parents are livid, they can't understand why someone would do that to them. :) They tried it but said it wasn't good but I can't say for myself. My wife is from South Wales so her's is a Pasquale's family so that's what I've had for the last bunch of EA pizza. Sad thing is, I'll probably always remember the number for Sorrentino's: 655-4646. Yeah, I've given up on finding great wings around here but I don't want to deal with the mess of making my own. Once in awhile I get BBQ or some other odd flavor wing so I'm not comparing them to true Buffalo style the whole time. Fried scrapple is pretty popular around here. It's almost the same thing. :)

Isn't Lucic a LW? As was discussed in the other thread, if he were a RW he'd be intriguing. As a LW, I'm not sure you give up much with the Sabres current list of lefties.

With no slug and a more traditional buffalo, I don't hate them. As is: oh no. No, no, no no no... no, no no.

Garth Snow? :devil:

Thanks Obama.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but there's something to be said for a player that can feed off other good players. Like good centers. Buffalo has a fwe of those in the pipeline, right?

Strachan wasn't bad when he skated with Myers, but I don't know if that was wonder-twin synergy or a glimpse into his potential. I guess the real question is: does he beat out Mike Weber for 3rd pair tough guy?

I don't think it's a terrible idea, as long as it's reversible. However, the Libertarians and Conservatives would like flip the #### out about government-forced sterilization. Actually, I think everyone might flip out, and rightfully so. It's a slippery slope to sterilization of "undesirables". Maybe a government freebie would be a better tack: "Two kids and on assistance? Get snipped for free and collect a $50/week bonus."

You're welcome to the the name I was going to use if I had a boy: Torque Ripcord.

It was in the playoffs the last time I saw, possibly going in the Sabres favor. I'm thinking pre-2004-lockout though.

I was curious, so looking at the last 6 years (wikipedia before that isn't listing playoff rosters well for the teams) there's a former Sabres' name on the winning roster 4 times of the 6 (Satan, Campbell, Paille, and Regher). For the two missed years (2012 and 2013), Bernier, Tallinder, and Zubrus in 2012, and Paille in 2013 played for the losing SCF team. So a former Sabre in the finals each year. All going by "playoff" roster, it's possible some (Tallider) didn't actually play in the SCF.
