Complain about anything you want. 1 complaint, 20 complaints, who cares? No one is really listening anyways. My complaint for this week... Fast food workers who are miserable beyond belief while on the job. If you hate your job that much, do something about it to better yourself in life. Go back to school or do whatever is needed to find a better job. In the meantime, if you continue to stay in your current position, suck it up and put on a happy face. http://forums.sabrespace.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gifM

Has anyone else seen this? https://www.wgrz.com/article/life/food/best-pizza-cities-american-wny-buffalo-us/71-05139e3d-aaa1-40cc-b620-2ef18f7c53fe

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it. A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening. He got it for his kids to watch in 2010. It was really good, surprisingly enough. A hockey themed tooth fairy tale. Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

I stopped attending big concerts about 20 years ago. Still hit bar-sized concerts and free outdoor shows, but I just figured my big concert days were behind me. And then a funny thing seemed to have happened. My son got interested in music and is old enough to attend some shows. And for the most part he listens to music that I can really dig. I got my feet wet again last Summer at Artpark but the real fun came when my (then) 13 yr old son started begging me to let him go to the Uproar Festival at Darien Lake last August. Eventually I relented on the condition that I go as well. For the most part the bands weren't bands I would ordinarily listen to but the headliners especially weren't bad, and since I am a reformed (sort of) metal head the last two bands in particular were pretty damned enjoyable. So this year the kid is already begging me to go to a concert with him, and frankly, I was looking forward to the Summer's concert schedule for my own enjoyment. Looks like a pretty fair concert season coming. This is my concert plan for the coming year; June 29 Buffalo Place- Grace Potter and the Nocturnals This band puts on a great show. They have a fantastic old school rock vibe to them. And Grace Potter is darned nice to look at too. If you are not familiar, look them up on youtube. Fantastic rock performers. Darien Lake- Allman Brothers and Carlos Santana Taking the wife to see this one. Two of my favorites from the bluesy end of rock. Darien Lake- Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper Re-living my junior year in high school. LOL Actually, I won't be buying tix to this show. I'll be a volunteer. I am involved with one of the not-for-profits that man the beer kiosks at the venue. I'm already signed up to dish out $12 Bud Lights to the head banging masses. I won't get a look at the stage most likely but I'll be able to listen to the show. \nn/ Darien Lake- Slipknot/Slayer/Motorhead/Anthrax This is the show my kid is bugging me about. Yeah, we're gonna go. I've never seen Motorhead or Slayer in concert so I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure my ears will be bleeding by the time the show ends. And 3 out of 4 of those bands are up my alley. First Niagara Center- Rush Now this one *will* have me re-living my junior year in high school. Going with a longtime friend. I can't wait until October. Anyone else ready for Summer concert season?

This thread is inspired by this video: http://FunnyOrDie.com/m/25mm If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.

It's never too late for a bedtime story of good vs. evil. The short story is that "Sheev" is Emperor Palpatine's first name. I suppose he needed a first name in one of the books? Or one day someone asked, "What's the Emperor's first name?" and George Lucas looked at a nearby "Hi My Name Is…" nametag sticker and said… "Uh, Steve… Sheev. His name is Sheev. And it always has been." The real story is: A long time ago on a franchise near, nearby… The Sabres Franchise hired an ambitious milquetoasty young Senator assistant from the Naboot-licker Carolina System named Sheevyn Adams to help Grand Ruff [Tarkin] HC. Eventually, it was time for the Grand Ruff to go off on a special assignment to begin construction of a new Death Star Stanley Cup with another franchise or two. The pursuit would take many unexpected years…. At this time, the Sabres enacted a new course of action for their Trade Federation Coaching Staff: a winning blockade the Sabres University. With Daultray Dofine HC Roltray Rolstine behind the bench leading the bureaucracy, Sheevyn had to find a new role. In helping the Grand Ruff turn Matt Ellis into the Matt Ellis of Matt Ellises, Adams had caught the notice of the mysterious and reclusive Darth Pegulas the Wise. Sheevyn was given a task by Darth Pegulas. When the University struggled, Sheevyn helped gain approval of a Vote of No Confidence in then-Chancellor Valorum Tim Murray GM Timis Yarorum. Sometimes going under the name of Darth Sidious Adamious, he moved behind the scenes and found himself named the Sr. VP of Business Administration. When Darth Pegulas needed to enact Order EEE, he knew whom to contact. Sheevyn was a willing apprentice. Replace the then Supreme GM Count Dooku JBott and be able to help get things Economical? You betcha! That's pure Business Admin 101. Need to maintain your current lifestyle but you're spending too much money on Clones? Clone scouting? Minor League Clones? Cut, cut, and cut. The Great Jedi Purge was finalized. Sheevyn Palpatine was then named Supreme GM of the Franchise, having taken only about 10 years to enact his coup (just like the real-Star Wars Sheev Palpatine from Episodes I-III). And that's the story of Sheevyn. So far.

Sabrespace Fantasy Football League is now full. Good luck this year boys. We can use this thread or league board for some trash talking! Don't forget the draft is Thurs Aug. 28 at 10:30 pm. If you can't make it don't forget to set your pre-rankings.

I really envy you northerners. Here it is almost mid-December and it's 82° outside at 7:45PM. It has dropped below 70 for a total of two hours in the last 11 days. I don't care where you live, the AC shouldn't be running this close to Christmas at 3AM. In the last seven weeks we've had .3" of rain. What's the weather like where you're all at?

Let's have at it. No politics. Just good old fishin and huntin talk.

While this forum sure likes sitting on their computers or phones wasting time talking about food, beer, liquor and sometimes even sports, I can't imagine we're all maintaining a sedentary lifestyle. :unsure: So let's have a thread about it. We can discuss what we do for exercise, our fitness goals, accomplishments, failures, questions, etc. As for myself I'm an active cyclist, beer league hockey player, and I run when the tendonitis in my knee isn't acting up. Thanks to my job and all of the running I've been doing I'm down to 208lbs this summer, which feels pretty good. I managed to set a new average pace record on my bike yesterday before the crankset blew up, and I'm almost down to a 9 minute mile for running. A far cry from my highschool days, but that was a long time ago. My goal for the rest of the summer is to get my 3 mile time under 25 minutes and upgrade the gearing on my old roadbike to allow me to ride a faster average speed, since I'm maxing out my old 53/14 gearing with my normal cadence. What do you guys and gals like to do?

Spinning off of the hobbies thread, it looks like many of us spend time with a good book (or three). So what are you currently reading? For work/school: Just finished CCTV and Policing by Benjamin Goold (2004). A study of how camera center operators make decisions about who to target for surveillance, and how CCTV has affected police work. In queue I have Theorizing Surveillance: The Panopticon and Beyond and Surveillance Studies: An Overview, both by David Lyon. For pleasure: In progress: The Last of the Plainsmen by Zane Grey. One of the 1930s editions of his 1908 novel. One of the great writers of the American West. The Boys of Winter by Wayne Coffey, about the 1980 Olympic team. A First Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness by Nassir Ghaemi - A great look at how some of the most influential world leaders such as FDR, JFK, Churchill and others were able to use their mental illnesses to their advantage. Last book I finished was Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig (1974). A study of the Metaphysics of Quality as framed around a cross country motorcycle trip with his son. A lot of focus on religion, the study of rhetoric, greek philosophy, and the way people think about machines and technology. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I found Jacques Pépin's recipe for Eggs Jeannette. Basically a glorified, seared deviled egg in some sort of french mustard-y sauce. I wonder what the recipe for Eggs Jeanneret would be.

What is your favorite PLAIN potato chip?

I know we're all sick and tired of dealing with SIP orders and being stuck in our houses. So, why not lighten the mood with SFWAF comedy? By all means, guys. Share with the rest of us what makes you laugh. I highly encourage video clips. Or, you could tell us all a really funny thing that you observed. Here's my initial offering: https://youtu.be/ptbs5G-xXRg

Ok, guys. A lot of us are starved for sports, and some of us can't work, shop, or go out to eat for obvious reasons. So, what are you doing to pass the time? Please keep it clean.

A lot of us may know about Hunter's Hope from Jim & Jill Kelly. Here's a similar organization started by Sabres alum Curtis Brown and his wife Ami. https://www.theaubribrownclub.org/ Check it out. We all may know others who need the help.

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been in this world. We all have stories to tell about our favorite places in the world to see for one reason or another. If something comes to mind later, share that too! Feel free to share pics, if you like. The ones that stick in my head are US Route 30 in Lancaster County, PA and the I-26 corridor from Johnson City, TN to the mountains of South Carolina.

Hi everyone - I found this jersey at my local goodwill and am trying to figure out whose autographs are on it. I think the one near the eye is Randy Burridge but I can’t figure out the one near the horn. Any insights?

Well it is that time of the year again. I thought about a club but I doubt there’s enough interest for that so here we are. My wife planted the raised bed garden this year. We have kale and celery that came up from last years roots. The kale actually never died off. We had growth way back in early March. Today’s PPE was simple and comfortable! This little dandy is my irrigation station. My well water has a ph of 10 or higher so I run down to Bristol and get Canandaigua Lake water for the gardens. Under that upside down trash can is a jet pump with built in pressure tank. The banjo fitting for the tank is plumbed with pex through a back flow valve to keep the pressure on the tank. I just plug it into an extension cord and water away. The pool hose there also has a banjo fitting so I can easily and quickly flood the new trees in my little orchard. I’m trying a scarecrow in my unfenced garden in desperation. The crows have pulled hundreds of seedlings right out of the ground to get at that succulent endosperm. The popcorn and sunflowers were decimated so I replanted and put up the Ogre doppelgänger. These crows seem pretty smart so I’m hoping that this looks so much like a trick to them that they over-analyze and think that it’s a trap! I just need enough time so the roots are developed enough that they can’t pull them out. We leave you with the sun setting over Baileyshire.
