Dave Dryden Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 Well, if I get a call.....I'll know who pointed it out. At least you were smart enough to use a screen name. This guy shows up out of nowhere and starts insulting many posters that mind their own business. If someone has a beef with me, that's fine....I'm a big boy. But don't insult decent people because you don't agree with them. I may be old school and use off color remarks at times, but I think anyone here would tell you I go after the organization....not the posters. I'll only throw a few playful barbs at posters when their obvious white-collar personality shines through by their views on certain things. Although if spndnchz is actually a 20 year old, 110lb, blonde female on relative low doses of anti-psychotics........I owe her an apology. This board is usually lightyears ahead of the football one when it comes to behavior and quality. I used to like getting the regulars riled up about things, but in time pretty much everyone came to the conclusion I had. Now I am just like the dumb jock visiting my old high school for a while after my early shift at Arby's. Me too. I have as many concerns about the Sabres as everyone else, but I guess I am positive by nature and hope for the best. I also accept things for which I have no control--no sense getting in a snit about stuff others do, like management. So I like to come to the Board for news, etc., but sometimes the constant negativity is hard to take. People who have accomplished I don't know what in lives who nit pick about players and management who have accomplished far more in their lives than the board critics likely ever will. But I don't have to read all of this s&^t, so it's my own fault if I get aggravated. I think I may just go back to lurking, this takes up time and energy I don't really have. But it's like when you play hockey, when you get pushed my instinct is to push back twice as hard. Old habits die hard...but I think this is an exercise in futility. Like giving facts to right wing diehards--they just don't matter.
inkman Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 All over the floor. One foot short of completing the impossible 90-mile, 5,245-foot dream. It could only happen to a Buffalo sports fan. I love that story. Sorry if it was anyone's lunch break. Haha. Not nearly as entertaining but a few years back I was having some real difficulty at work. I was dizzy, my equilibrium was all over the place adn I felt like my brain was outside of my head. I came to the realization that I hadn't pooped for days, like several days. My body was in toxic shock. Needless to say, that situation was alieviated in it's proper fashion. Another work story, the old company locker room bathroom was constantly flooded. Toilet water, mud from outside, leaky pipes...all the above. I walked into the bathroom one day and ended up horizontal. First, about 4 feet in the air, then squarely in the 1" of "sludge" that was on the floor. Luckily, I had clothes to change into, but I wanted to take about 10 showers after that.

Like giving facts to right wing diehards--they just don't matter. Problem is.....people can do something about it. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON AN INFERIOR PRODUCT! I used to be a season ticket holder. I didn't get rid of them because the team was bad.....I got rid of them when Quinn, Golisano, etc. went into the bunker and didn't take any responsibility for the clusterbomb that took place. Quinn to me is a sociopath. He is a good marketer, he is intelligent, but he could run you over with a car, not flinch, then tell the cop with a straight face he was at home when it happened. There is a difference between what is legal and what is ethical....I don't have to explain that to you. Once it was obvious the team was under the control of a madman....I bailed. That's OK, I enjoy football much more and that sport, the Bills in particular, have gone downhill in such a hurry as well. Really, there isn't much left to take in with a clear concious. I almost hope the Bills sign Vick so I have an excuse to dump those as well. I don't blame people for wanting to "stay positive", but all too often it is DENIAL under the guise of staying positive. That is the biggest thing I have learned about humanity from these message boards. DENIAL is our biggest problem. You are a good poster......Tom Smith is insightful. Let the next month play out on the ice and see where it is headed.
shrader Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 Sabres-Flyers, Game 4 at the Aud, 1995 playoffs. Eric Lindros destroyed someone in the corner, took the loose puck away and fed a teammate in front for a goal. I could have shat. I wanted to. I had to go, badly, the whole night. But I have issues with public restrooms. I might (might) be able to do Number 1, if there's a stall, if my back teeth are floating. Number 2? No way. So I managed to survive. The Sabres didn't. On the way home, the cramps are coming in waves. This is labor pain. (Sorry, ladies, I know it's ridiculous for a man to say that.) But the timing of the cramps is such that I think I can make the two hour drive. But the intervals are shortening. (Also can't do the outside dump; besides, no TP, and the Goal Magazine was three bucks.) I do make it. Rush into the house, shedding jacket, pulling out shirt, up the stairs, hat goes flying, ticket stubs raining like confetti. Into the bathroom, pants down, turn around, down go the skivvies. Safety! All over the floor. One foot short of completing the impossible 90-mile, 5,245-foot dream. It could only happen to a Buffalo sports fan. I love that story. Sorry if it was anyone's lunch break. I just finished my burrito and then clicked on this thread. There's never a dull moment around here.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Posted March 1, 2010 I know someone who has the best #2 stories happen to him. You can't make it up. He is sleeping in a chair in a hospital room overnight to keep an eye on someone. There happens to be someone in another bed who is a little confused. That person gets up in the middle of the night and proceeds to mistake the chair with a person in it as a commode. Whammo! Raging runs.... all over him as the person goes to sit on him. He wakes up in mid blast to find himself covered head to toe. He threw out all his clothes and went home in a hospital gown I believe. Second time.....even better. Once again, somehow at a hospital. He is in the regular men's room in the only stall. Some other guy walks into the room, pulls on the stall door to find it locked, and then starts begging "How long are you going to be? Please...I gotta go real bad. I don't know if I can wait." So he finishes up as quick as he can, all the while this deep voiced guy is booming, "Hurry....Please!" The guy is almost crying at this point....so my friend jumps up from the seat without even pulling his pants up and opens the stall door. As he is trying to get out, the other guy who is a giant black man in a hospital gown, tries to get in at the same time. Here is the best part......just as they are squeezing through the stall each way, one with pants still down, the other with a 2 size too small hospital gown on, yelling "Oh Jesus!" in agony, a 3rd guy walks into the men's room....sees the other two.....is shocked in horror at what he sees looking like a deer in headlights....then runs out as fast as he can as my friend is yelling "He really has to go to the bathroom!" in order to save face. The other guy hit the target and the two of them laughed so much when it was over.

inkman Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 I'm just waiting for inky to reply asking for exact measurements. I think his act is a little tired... :thumbdown:

Stoner Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Favorite episode.....with "The Opening" with the chef being a close second. :thumbsup: Given the frustration with the board's new filter, maybe we should have a pinned thread where people can go and randomly curse, as a form of release.

spndnchz Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 You forgot the drugs; what about the drugs?! :bag: Just when I thought no one cared about a woman's hockey opinion. Whatcha got?
shrader Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Just when I thought no one cared about a woman's hockey opinion. Whatcha got? Is this a slight Alice in Chains, "Junkhead" reference?
spndnchz Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Is this a slight Alice in Chains, "Junkhead" reference? Never heard that song.
shrader Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Never heard that song. "What's my drug of choice? Well what have you got..." It goes a long way in explaining why Layne Staley isn't with us anymore. You were headed down those lines a bit there. But enough of these distractions. This thread has turned away from it's far more entertaining direction yesterday.

nobody Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Sorry, didn't want to shite on anyone's parade. That's a different fetish group.
