PTS Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Let me start off by saying the fans were UNBELIEVEABLE last night as they have been throughout the playoffs. <rant> However I have a bone to pick with about half of the people in my section. I sit in 112 20 rows up. 75% of the fans are great and the other 25% have this "high class" mentality like they are too good to be fans. 1. When they hand out t-shirts for you to put them on, PUT THEM ON. I can understand if you have a jersey and you want to wear your jersey instead BUT if you're wearnig your cashmear sweater, put the damn shirt on over it. 2. 3-4 flakes around me were more interested in playing with their cell phones and sending e-mails than watching the game. 3. How the hell can you leave a one goal game with two minutes left? Are you freaking kidding me? To these people who think there #%^$#! don't stink, do us all a favor. Save your money and stay home and watch American Idol, or at the very least give your tickets to someone in your family that cares about this team. </rant>
Stoner Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Classic. Thanks for the laughs. Speaking of "Idol," can I make a little off topic rant? The judges, especially Simon, handed Taylor Hicks the title on Tuesday night. WTF! That is low. This is my first full season watching the show, and I now suspect the whole thing is fixed. Katharine has more talent in that magnificent ass of hers than Taylor has in his whole body. But good luck, Hicks. I just wonder about his career -- can you dance on a CD?
SDS Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 3. How the hell can you leave a one goal game with two minutes left? Are you freaking kidding me? My wife, who could care less about hockey, watched the last 3 minutes with me - and even she was clutching on to my arm with her eyes as wide as cue balls... You have to be dead to not have your heart racing during a fiinish like that.
inkman Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 ...can you dance on a CD? Well, if I ever see a copy of his "American Idol" cd, I'll dance all over that piece of crap. p.s. sorry for the hijack but I didn't initiate
Stoner Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Kerry Fraser tells inkman to get in the box! Two minutes for hijacking a thread! They always see the retaliation...

Kevbeau Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Yeah, and if wasn't for those sacks 'o @#$% we wouldn't have those freakin' nets. :D

If you think 30 pounds of junk stuffed into a 5 pound bag is magnificant....
apuszczalowski Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Magnificant?? If you think 30 pounds of junk stuffed into a 5 pound bag is magnificant.... Look, there is only one way to settle this, post a bunch of pics of her and her @ss and then judge :D

I can understand if you have a jersey and you want to wear your jersey instead BUT if you're wearnig your cashmear sweater, put the damn shirt on over it. Don't understand the "whiteout" here...back in the day, when NHL teams wore white at home (and I still think they should, looks better with the colored pants), this was logical (thanks, I guess, Winnipeg)...but now, the enemy wears white...so, if anything, Sabres shoulda handed out BLACK t-shirts...or better yet, blue and gold. <_<

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 Magnificant?? If you think 30 pounds of junk stuffed into a 5 pound bag is magnificant.... The word to describe this is: blivet or 10 pounds of sh*t in a 5 pound bag. :D :D Sticking with the theme of this thread... Kinda also fits the pompous arses that won't put on a shirt: Blivet is by far the better known of the two words and dictionaries of American slang suggest it dates back to American servicemen in World War Two. It is frequently said to be any small, useless, unnecessary or superfluous thing. It looks like a mixture of blip and widget, though your definition suggests that it might instead be from blip plus rivet. It?s often described as ten pounds of horse manure in a five-pound bag (though the quantities vary between tellers) and the excuse to retell that ?explanation? to a naive onlooker is often the reason for using the word. I am told that in the 1950s the term could be used to describe a person who was either self-important and full of himself or grossly overweight, for whom this description was all too apt. When this piece first appeared, many subscribers mentioned that they knew blivet as the name of an impossible two-pronged trident thingy, otherwise known as the Devil?s pitchfork. It is sometimes said that the name derives from ?believe it?, which I don?t. Other subscribers remember blivet as a military term for rubberised bladders that were used by various air forces for holding fuel at temporary locations, usually small airstrips. Once drained, the bags would go flat and be easily stored until required for use elsewhere. Don't understand the "whiteout" here...back in the day, when NHL teams wore white at home (and I still think they should, looks better with the colored pants), this was logical (thanks, I guess, Winnipeg)...but now, the enemy wears white...so, if anything, Sabres shoulda handed out BLACK t-shirts...or better yet, blue and gold. <_< I was thinking that too! I also wondered if there is some technical advantage to it?... Kind like centerfield in baseball being blacked out with the absence of fans sitting dead center... This makes the batter distiguish the ball and it doesn't allow people in the stands to "shine" in the eyes of opposing batters... I wonder if having all white in hockey helps a team?... Like you said, maybe years ago, but now the uni colors are reversed with dark being home... Why did they reverse the color? So... Shouldn't the fans were dark colors of the home team then? Again, wondering if there is any techincal advantage for the home team... ie: "seeing" the puck, shooting against an opposing goalie, and what not, etc... :unsure: :unsure:
ddaryl Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 for some reason I don't think those "Snob" fans actually post here. but I know exactly the type of fan your describing. I use to get that icky feeling when I was sitting in the lower sections. They just radiate snob-ness
Corp000085 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 Why did they reverse the color? marketing. The 3rd jerseys of teams are all dark, so this allows the teams to wear the 3rd jerseys exclusively at home. It also saves on travel, as the road team only brings its white jerseys, instead of dark jerseys for road games played with home team wearing regular jerseys or white jerseys if the home team wears the dark 3rd jersey.
inkman Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 Look, there is only one way to settle this, post a bunch of pics of her and her @ss and then judge :D Ummm... :unsure: ...okay.
apuszczalowski Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 I think the idea behind the white out is to show the unity between the fans for the team. When the players look out into the crowd, or the cameras pan the crowd, all you will see is a sea of white showing support for the team. As for why they use white, I don't know, coud be cheaper to make the t-shirts (white could be cheaper then a colored shirt) AS for the American Idol girl, she is pretty good looking
Orange Seats Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 In 99 they did all red for the first home game. White shirts are probably cheaper, and they get to make the obvious Buffalo snow pun... whiteout.

I take "white outs" are common along that stretch of northern prairie... Just as it snows in Buffalo... Pretty cool thing to do with a local connection to the type of climate in both regions...
inkman Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 AS for the American Idol girl, she is pretty good looking She's a looker, but her hindquarters are not exactly assets. Her assets More assets junk in that trunk badunkadunk Booya! p.s. If my boss knew how much time I spent finding this crap, I'd be fired on the spot.
Fallsnative Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 These are the same jack-offs who used to sit in the "Gold" section back in the AUD days and would get mad and tell those of who were yelling and rooting on the team to "Be quiet" because "they are trying to watch the game". Give me a break! I have actually had the ushers brought to my seat because I was "yelling at the team too loud" for these people! WTF? These people should stay home.
