I got one of those a few years ago at a stop sign in my neighborhood for rolling through. He was there because people often didn't even roll stop they just considered it optional and would fly right through the damn stop sign. My day care was one block past the stop sign so I didn't get pulled over until I was out of my truck and getting my kids out to drop off at day care. He jumped out of the car and yells at me to get back in my truck, I thought he was about to actually pull his gun on me. A total douche. Anyway, so I take my ticket and decide even though I deserved it that I'm going to use the legal plan I have at work and fight the thing with an attorney hoping to at least get it reduced to a non moving violation. My attorney kept getting my court date pushed back until finally one day they called me and said it had all been dropped and they sent back my deposit. Didn't cost me a dime.

Another Steel Panther song from their brand new album. "Just Like Tiger Woods" Classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU-8X9GVIWk

I caught these guys when I was in Vegas a few weeks ago. They are a hilarious 80's hair metal parody band (with a shredding guitarist), and I can't get this one out of my head. Definitely NSFW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra9DwnexkF0

Oh how I long for just one day to sleep in until 8 am again, because come 6 am tomorrow morning I'll hear my 3 year old daughter yelling "Daddy, I wake up...come play with me!!!" Those saturday morning wake up calls really hurt after having a few extra pops following a Sabres victory the night before.

I needed oxycodone for knee and eye surgeries. The knee surgery was the worst pain I ever felt in my life, I guess that can be expected when the doc drills straight through your tibia five times though. Anyway, I was popping them like crazy after that surgery and felt the wrath of the most undesirable side effect of those pills......constipation. Absolutely brutal. Moral of the story, if you can handle the pain don't take them.

Looking forward to this, especially after Breaking Bad just ended. If you aren't watching Breaking Bad you are missing what is unquestionably the best show on TV right now.

I'm very sorry to hear that, my condolences. Hang in there.

I'll have to check out the new Chickenfoot. I'm listening to the new Wilco album right now, it's their best since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot I do believe.

I've never had below the belt surgery, but I did suffer the idignity / pain of being catheterized on three ocassions before and after various surgeries. :death:

People are a-holes. I had a very similar incident happen a few years ago outside of work, except it was geese not ducks. The roads are filled with selfish a-holes who display very little concern for their own safety never mind the rest of us who need to share the road with them. :censored:

I feel for you here, it gets old really quick being laid up like that. A few years ago I was laid up after knee surgery (the five screws they drilled in remain there today), but at the same time I also had surgery for a detached retina. To keep the retina in place they put a gas bubble in my eye and to keep it properly positioned on my retina I had to lie face down 24/7 for 3 weeks. That sucked beyond words, all I could do to keep entertained was sit up and lean over face down to read a book or watch a movie positioned below me on the floor. I guess this is a retroactive complaint since that time in my life sucked so bad, but at the same time the accident that caused it probably should have killed me. Anyway, I hope you're back on your feet soon. :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about your friend. I've had six ultimately unsuccessful eye surgeries and they are no picnic as you might imagine. Here's hoping that things begin to turn around for your friend.

That would be sweet, plus if Pegula is using the Red Wings as his model franchise the Wings rode "One Little Victory" as their intro song to the 2002 Stanley Cup.

What a fantastic game. I was in 113 right behind the Raiders bench among a sea of Raiders fans. WTF with season tix holders selling their seats to the home frigging opener??? Anyway we shut them all up at the end. The best game I've attended since the Houston comeback (yes I stayed for the entire game). GO BILLS!!

I'm flying up to Buffalo tomorrow with my son. I'm going to the Bills game and he gets to hang with his cousins (He's 6 and I'd never bring him anywhere near the Ralph). Looks like good weather is in store for WNY this weekend. :thumbsup:

Suicide will tear a family to shreds. My cousin committed suicide around the same ago, it's just devastating.

:lol: I wish that I could, I really do. The guy that sits across from me just came into the office and heard the signing, and he let out a big sigh and a loud "you've got to be f#@%ing kidding me!!". I think he just may take care of this for all of us. :thumbsup: Ironically this is the same guy that has the geico pig weee weee weee ringtone that I mentioned a few weeks ago on here.

Everyone has a co-worker that annoys them to some degree, but I'm here to tell you I have the most annoying co-worker ever. Bar none. Everything this woman does is annoying to everyone. Talking constantly about herself, interrupting you constantly in meetings and one on one conversations, excessively over the top dramatic reactions to the most routine matters. I loathe every second that I'm forced to interact with her. But recently it has just gone too far. My office area sits directly outside a laboratory and the above mentioned co-worker has recently moved into that lab space and has spent a great deal of time in there working over the last week or so. As she works she listens to her ipod while singing along AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS!!! Not regular singing like one who realizes they don't have a good voice might do when alone, but overly dramatic loud singing like she is on an american idol audition. My ears feel like they may begin to bleed at any moment and I forgot my own ipod / headphones today so I can't drown out this noise. It is totally beyond me how anyone could be so oblivious to their own annoying behavior. :censored: :censored:

Everyone in my office area was talking about it when I got back to my desk, but I didn't feel a thing while working in the lab.

I've been on TSW wall for a long time, but I'm kind of a hit and miss poster like I am on here. I know many long time respected posters over there have left in recent years due to some of the childish behavior that goes on. It's unfortunate, but there is still some great info to be gathered over there if you have the patience to wade through some of the nonsense.

I'm right about where you are. It's almost like it's my duty to watch on Sundays and endure the eventual kick to the nuts each and every week. This year I truly called with the intention to cancel, not fake cancel like in previous years to get a better price. When they offered it for free I figured what the hell since I usually have the Bills game turned off by halftime anyway and I just watch an actual competitive game or the red zone channel.

I have had it for 9 years and I just called the other day with the intention of canceling not only the ticket but my entire Direct TV service. They ended up giving me the ticket for free plus other discounts that added up to over $500 in savings for the year. So now I'm on the hook for another fall of miserable Sunday afternoons, but at least it's free. :thumbsup:

FWIW, I picked up my 12 pack of deconstructed at Consumer's on Transit Rd. I haven't seen it at all down here in NC.

I think Sam Adams isn't respected enough for what they do for the craft brew and homebrew community. They always have a large presence at the NHC each year where they have new beers that they plan to release available for sampling and voting. This year I believe they had a Maple Pecan Porter and and oak barrel aged ale. Both were very good. When I was up in Buffalo earlier this month I picked up a 12 pack of their special release Latitude 48 IPA "Deconstructed" at Consumers. They took their Lat 48 IPA which is brewed with five different hops and brewed five different batches with the beer hopped with each single variety. A great idea and a real treat to sit down with the fully hopped version next to all the single hopped ones and appreciate how each hop contributes to the beer. SA also sponsors the longshot competition where they invite homebrewers to enter and potentially have their beer brewed and distributed commercially. Some craft breweries near here have followed suit and are sponsoring similar compettions. SA also launched the Brewing The American Dream program
