Possibly the wrong thread, but definitely the right idea.

Swamp, I like you, and I know you, and I want to keep you as a friend, but maybe don't come into this thread. 82-year-old mom or not (I've got some ottos myself). You're not getting it, and you're being a jerk.

No good German gives his kid a Russian first name. And what kind of last name is "Quapp"?

Yeah, three twitter posts.

May Lysell take penalty shots the same way during his entire Boston career.

They were able to get the Bills into town. I NEED A SABRES GAME TO TAKE MY MIND OFF OF STUFF DAMMIT

1. Who is "we"? You don't live here! And the City has plenty of sno-cats, just not the giant ones that someone *other than me* suggested. And the point isn't to save people who flout the law; it's to make it possible to have shorter driving bans. 2. Yes it is. It already has become more frequent. Just wait for the floods at the end of this week...oh boy...

Unless every essential worker lives just north of me, I can assure you all that very few people are obeying this driving van. It went from about four cars per minute on Sunday, to eight yesterday, to just regular traffic today. And I'm not sure how many essential workers drive tricked-out Mercedes SUVs, but I've seen two of those in the last hour.

Good for you. Maybe take a step away from this thread and get off of everyone else's backs. You've spent more time complaining about us in here than we have spent complaining about the situation, now.

Because it SUX. It doesn't have to be innocents in the Ukraine being shelled or loved ones dying of cancer for people to want to kvetch about what's bugging them. We have a whole thread for BS complaints, you know? Do I wander in there and announce that others' complaints are petty? I realize this doesn't affect you in New Jersey because not even bad weather wants to visit New Jersey, but for those of us who have been locked in for 96 hours now, it's a good place to lay off steam. There are hundreds of other threads available...

I think we're all entitled to vent a little on this one.

Canada can't pass tonight. Not that it matters; it's just their first step in the normal plan of blowing the first game and then winning every other game for the remainder of the freaking tournament.

You're not wrong here. Starting the driving ban at midnight Friday (and announcing it Thursday noon) would have been the move.

Well, tell or don't, but the rest of the county is opening up by 7pm today. Buffalo isn't.

Finally some breathing room.

I'm not sure what more the county could have done, but the city's response has been ridiculously poor.

USA plays at 4 ET correct?

Somehow I don't think so

So out of complete boredom last night, and because I kept seeing the same two generic SUVs heading up and down the street, I checked to see if Uber was running in Buffalo. Sure enough, I could get a ride to bars on Elmwood if I wanted to. (I stayed in.) Operating right under the driving ban.

There are pictures floating around of them digging out their cars at Prior Aviation.

You have an interesting definition of fun. You must be friends with the gal I dated back in 2001 or so.

Love ya bud.

OK. I'll try a couple of lines: Merry Christmas everone Except Taro, screw you

There are at least two unconfirmable theories connecting Christmas with Saturnalia (which is improperly named because it was the festival of the Mediterranean sun god and not Saturn)--either or neither may be correct. But when was the first recorded Christmas celebration?
