There is an A-hole driving through Cheektowaga with the vanity plate, "THE-DARC".


I was behind you tonight and you better thank your lucky stars I didn't plow into you just for sport. Not only are you a D-bag for 3rd personing your name and actually spending money on it in order to point out to the rest of the world what a prick you are......but you might as well be named Hitler, and have the plate, "DAS-DOLPH"


I hope your 3 inch ding-###### gets chafed every time those tiny little fetal alcohol syndrome hands of yours attempt to self-climax your putrid being.

I think it was the Sabres' GM ... "THE-DARC"(y).  It all adds up from the description relayed by GoDD.

Saw Les Miserables with Jo tonight. What a phenomenal film. My high school was one of the first to do the student version and it meant a lot to see it in this way and hear all the music again. Every grown man in the place was teared up at the end. Powerful. Go see it.

Ugh. Rihanna just makes me want to throw myself off of a bridge. "Diamond" might be one of the worst songs of the last 15 years, which is played every 30 minutes on my boss' favorite radio station. Brutal.

The Twilight Zone.  The series was canceled before man set foot on the moon and it's commentary on the human condition here in America still holds up.

Plus, it's funny seeing people smoke in hospitals.

Touring thru the Northern part (including the River Kwai, heh). Doing a side trip to Cambodia to Angor Wat.

Awesome.  My wife and I went to Thailand on our honeymoon too (and Hong Kong).  It was just terrific.  And if you like hot food -- they can really bring it.

If you're going to be up North and have time, Chiang Mai is really nice.

Congrats!

We saw it too.  I've read the book, seen it in NYC and now this.  A truly remarkable movie.  They can extend the visual in the movie that a play just can't.  The Fantene scene at the end was chilling..  I thought all the characters were well casted.  

This year 's Oscars will be very competitive.

An article about sledding at Chestnut Ridge in The Boston Globe of all places.  Brings back great memories of sledding and tobogganing there as a kid.

Quote

Our ballparks and arenas no longer allow us a single thinking moment. The NBA is the lead offender, blaring some form of music or scarring beat amid the action. More and more, the game feels like an extended intermission. MLB, the NFL, and the NHL (when it’s in business) are somewhat more moderate, but they all deal in their ragged, annoying forms of audio-porn. Our senses are constantly under assault, our sensibilities desensitized by life’s incessant woof and hum.
Ah, but to be there atop Chestnut Ridge, with life’s volume turned low, its pace slowed, the world minimized to the pleasure and task of blending sport with gravity . . .
So simple, yet tremendous, as simple so often is.

Do they still have the toboggan run open?

Yeah they refurbed it a few years back..

Flying down the sled hill on those old runner sleds was always a thrill..  We had a souped up ten-seater tobaggan with extra cushioning.  That thing routinely went all the way down the toboggan runs and forced us to deliberately crash it to stop it before the end..  I remember the hot chocolate too..

They looked incredibly dangerous on Saturday.  The toboggans were jumping all over the place.  A few people barely made if off the ramp before they fell off.  I never did ride those when I was little even though we did have the toboggans.  Now that I think of it, I can't even remember if those runs were even open back then.  I know they shut them down at some point (before re-opening them recently), but I have no idea when exactly that happened.

Not sure when you were a kid, but I remember doing them once or twice when I was little. So, mid-80s or so.

I used to spill hot chocolate on myself all the time at Chestnut Ridge when I was a kid.

I've been telling the gf we need to go. I think it's gonna have to happen now

Yeah you could really get going on those things.  I also remember an ambulance always parked on the top of the hill on busy days.  My friends and I always tried to take each other out when we went there as teens.

Congrats, but about a week to early to get one the Sabres baby blanket and Certificate from TP (assuming you had it in Buffalo)

I saw the article about it yesterday and told my wife, she now refuses to go anywhere near the Border with me around her due date. She still thinks the baby is going to be a Leafs fan like her........
(We did have discussions about having to come to a compromise that the Baby will be neither a Sabres nor Leafs, and may have to be a Red Wings fan)

They must have been open when I was younger (I'm 31 now), but since I never rode them, I guess I never noticed or cared.
