MattPie Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Wait, what? Where was this? I can't wait for Ghost of Ghost of Dwight Drane http://forums.sabrespace.com/user/1555-ghost-of-dwight-drane/ (that should be the post history, just look at the last few) Quote
Stoner Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 It's nice to see so many visitors dropped by to pay their respects (rubber neck). There's a 78.2% chance Joey B. finally had chz off the dude, literally or figuratively. Or nfreeman. The whole mod thing was probably just a smokescreen so nfreeman could do it. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Someone brought about two dozen watermelons in this morning. Uh oh....is the city finally going bankrupt and you guys are trying to woo the mayor for the account? .... It was a black/watermelon joke.....tinged in the fact the Eleven admits he works for a major law firm in Buffalo that deals with bankruptcies and your city's biggest accomplishments to date are 8 acres of mowed lawn to hold concerts on near a waterway that has been here since the dawn of age and food trucks. Not to mention the "revitalization" being proclaimed is pretty much the same handful of developers getting public money to RENT out units to the masses while less than 1,000 units have come public for sale. Go F Yourselves..... Either take a joke for what it is.... or go F yourselves. What doesn't belong in an awesome thread is a law office grossing $70 million a year in revenues getting excited about $40 of free watermelon.... This is the awesome thread. Not the sh*t on Buffalo/Joy-sucking/Racist Power Hour Thread. Take your bullsh*t somewhere else. I think I will. JFC. I like having Ghost around, but that stuff right there? That is a bunch of nonsense. I reconstructed this because I became curious over allusions to Ghost taking a break. (I know he can't quit us.) My two cents: Reasoned and fair-minded people (a group that excludes Fuzzy Zoeller) living in the year 2014 don't just "take a joke" about black folk lovin' them some watermelon. And please don't make the "But, but ... Battista ... Italiano mob defamation" point. Just. Don't. Them thar is apples and oranges, mon ami. Or perhaps that oughta be watermelons and grapes. Whatevs. Quote

Whatevs. I like having Ghost around here too. But I look at it like this: If I couldn't say it to a co-worker at a job, I'm not going to say it here. And I hold others to that as well. There are hundreds of members of this forum, and hundreds more who lurk. What if the first post they read is a long standing member making casual racist comments? Maybe we just lost Mike Grier as a reader? Quote

Eleven Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 All I wanted was to celebrate the awesomeness of free watermelon on a hot Friday morning. Quote
shrader Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Oh that was the end. I did see all that. Relatively tame to cause a walk away. Oh well, you know what is awesome? Movers who give you an 8-10 am window but still aren't here. Oh wait, that's not awesome. I could go for some free watermelon though. Quote

darksabre Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I'm so ready for a Mad Max revival with Charlize Theron Quote
Eleven Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I'm so ready for a Mad Max revival with Charlize Theron I'm ready for anything with Charlize Theron. Why does Mad Max have to be involved? Quote
SwampD Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I'm ready for anything with Charlize Theron. Why does Mad Max have to be involved? Because there is no such thing as an original idea anymore. Quote
Eleven Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Because there is no such thing as an original idea anymore. In my mind, there are plenty of available, original plots if Charlize Theron is involved. Quote
darksabre Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Because there is no such thing as an original idea anymore. I'm not too opposed to a revisiting of the Mad Max series. Considering it's the work of the same man who made the originals I think he's allowed to have some fun with a cult classic. I mean, let's not take Mad Max too seriously :lol: Quote

I mean, let's not take Mad Max too seriously :lol: Yeah, I guess as long as it isn't a remake I'm fine with it. I just can't take another remake. It's just a little sad that the most creative sifi movies in the past 15 years have been associated with Keanu Reeves and Vin Deisel. Quote
Eleven Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Besides the Wash Post article this week, and the two NYT articles in the last three years, and the Toronto Star article (13 or 12?), we now have this: http://thoughtcatalog.com/lauren-modery/2014/03/move-over-austin-buffalo-is-the-new-it-city/ This city is ###### on fire right now. I am so, so glad I came back. Quote
Stoner Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 I'm trying to figure out where the author, Lauren Modery, is from. (I grew up in a small, economically-depressed town two and a half hours southeast of Buffalo). It wouldn't be my small, economically-depressed town. Hornell? Quote
LastPommerFan Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Book of Faces says she's from Cortland /stalkerface Quote
inkman Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Book of Faces says she's from Cortland /stalkerface -10 Internet points for PA. You get 0 for knowing how to use google or Facebook Quote
Stoner Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 I get the 10 points back for making my minions do my research for me. bwwwwahahaha Doesn't "economically depressed" here or there get a little old? I mean, yeah, it is. But depressed is a pretty strong word. Maybe I just don't notice it anymore. I can't think of a time in my lifetime that this region hasn't been let's say recessed, or recessed-feeling. But, jeez, it's not like it's Calcutta. We're not all eating dirt, and liking it. Quote
