Stoner Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Write a post about the Sabres. Use a fancy schmancy word. I'll be damned if Marvin is going to swing his big dictionary around and get away with it. 7 1 1 Quote
bunomatic Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Not sure I’ll watch the Sabres tonight as it usually puts me in a lachrymose state of mind. 3 2 Quote
Believer Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 A Sabre fan might wonder why this rebarbative team doesn’t get more attention from its owner, Terry the Terrible. 4 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 The vicissitudes in emotions of our poor suffering fan base is most palpable now as the sun sets on a seasons that held high hopes and made Sabres fan as happy as a dog with two tails. Oh blithesome October, where hath thou gone? Our dreams of a Dylan Cozens scoring forty, Owen Power looking like a mighty redeemer, and Levi, raising to eminence. 5 1 Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 I wish Granato and Adams would Abdicate their positions as this team is filling us loyalist with Vitriol. 6 Quote
#freejame Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 The entire organization needs to embiggen their expectations. To think these results are acceptable is anything but cromulent. 6 Quote

Marvin Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Here is one that I got from Part Two of the Doctor Who story, "The Caves of Androzani". Fecenine means "feces-like", so I use it in place of $#!++✓. Two points: 1. The only reason that I have a larger active vocabulary than most is because my wife reads so much. She reads Dostoevsky and Dickens for fun. 2. A couple of my ex-co-workers said they noticed that I uncork the thesaurus more often when I am angry as a way of venting politely. Starting with The Tank, the Sabres have given me a lot of reasons to be angry. And the more upset I get, the more that you see the fruits of the trips to the dictionary that my wife forces me to do. 5 2 Quote

Pimlach Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 I am phlegmatic about this hockey team, so I decided to take my wife out for Valentines Day instead of staying home to watch them. 4 1 Quote

Less than sanguine, for sure. And this team could use a player who's truly bilious. I always enjoyed references to the auld quack science surrounding "the four humours" (blood, "phlegm" (not what we would call phlegm today), and ... 2 kinds of bile (yellow and ... something else)). 3 Quote

Big Guava Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 I've been feeling very melancholy about this team lately. 2 Quote
K-9 Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Watching the Sabres tends to make me morose and lugubrious. 2 Quote

This one must have something to do with one of the two forms of "bile" (or what they thought was bile 500 years ago or whatever). One of the forms of "bile" would tie into being choleric. "Words. Words. Words." - Hamlet Edited February 13 by That Aud Smell 1 Quote
Stads Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Kevyn Adams has proved to be pusillanimous is his handling of this team. He never likes to take chances 1 2 Quote
SwampD Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 The Sabres trying to get back to the playoffs this last decade+ has certainly seemed a Sisyphean endeavor. 3 Quote
