The Swamp

:D i know - my girls and i had a blast last night hooting it up in the Pittsburgh/enemy territory hotel room. the youngest (Pitt freshman) said "Go Bills" to all the workers wearing Steelers gear at the Pens game :D (all in fun obvs) *extreme local WNY reference warning* so our drive to Pi...

it's always a "fun" crapshoot as to who gets hammered....but yes: it's always Hamburg. :) I still can't believe the localized weather events. I still about the day we had 36 inches of snow in one day on campus, then driving off camopus the next day and a mile away there was one maybe 4 inc...

Syb- ugh. Echoing everyone else in here, just awful - sorry as hell to read all that. (i'll note but not complain about my basement getting water seeping up from the ground in 2 big spots. i sprinkled some baking soda on it, i'm sure that'll take care of everything #professionalhomeowner) - - - am m...

I actually don't think i've been to Mints since ~1992? yet somehow it's comforting to know it's still there :D (and i agree, the idea of eating there is incredibly skeevy. Last one i was in - somewhere on Lundy's Lane (IYKYK) - there were tables of guys fully eating food. it's a dichotomy i could no...

i enjoyed this one :D (but why not both goddammit - i'll let it slide) The main bridge from Canada to Buffalo has been closed since last night because of the storm. No word on when they'll reopen. So you're saying some players might not be able to get to the game from the Candian strip clubs? Ballet...

so i got suckered into going to the Sabres v Canucks tomorrow afternoon. counterpoint: on Monday i'm (supposed to be*) driving down to Pittsburgh to take my daughter back to Pitt and have tix for us to see the Pens v Kraken. Have never been to a game in Pittsburgh and am probably going to cry seeing...

OH. i see.

(also i love boneless wings. which are not wings, of course. #confessions?)

MaxWebster

i hear nobody around us is buying anything made of steel until next Monday. Suck it, yinzers.

also they're never called Buffalo wings anywhere near 716. just wings.

moved 10+ years ago after having been there for ...fk...25ish years and it already feels like a different lifetime. Funny that Somerville/Allston divide - truth. Needed a car (which i didn't have for a while / college) to traverse that boundary. Seeing the Green-E line go past Lechmere does not comp...

2 of my friends / former bandmates were often more into disc golf than new songs :P so i got sucked a little bit into their cult and it's a blast... but every single time i played my weakass arm was sore for about 3 days after best course: Grouse Mtn, North Vancouver random image from reddit here - ...

when Cook dropped that easy TD catch last night I started yelling RONNIE HARMON at the TV.

goddammit...here we go....

MaxWebster

2-0 Finland about halfway through

I don't know how anyone uses these sketchy online streams for anything - if i'm fortunate enough to a) find a link to a game and b) get by the myriad awful popups - inevitably every stream will briefly hiccup every 30-45 seconds.

MaxWebster

honestly this still kills me and IIRC - and I'm pretty sure I do having been obsessive in those days - i remember that mfker blaming Kelly for a high throw after the game. Since we didn't have interwebs n shit back then I think it wasn't until that week's SI came out with an article on the (objectiv...

bought yesterday in Toronto - not sure when (if) I'll even drink it. Henderson's Rush Golden Ale.

MaxWebster

boy i miss watching these games. it would be nice if they made this easier to watch in the States.

MaxWebster

I'm gonna need your address. Also found a connector to hook up the Atari to a modern TV for $6, so I ordered one in case the TV is the problem. Too many games to list, but I'll give some highlights. My friend's Atari broke at some point after he had Nintendo, so he gave me all the games he had that ...

7:30pm tonight at our house but you're only allowed to look in from an outside window, sorry.

this is goddamned perfect. Definitely sharing w the fam today as we're on the final night of our annual Extended Trilogy watch. yes: 3-4 hours each night, all guests are kicked out of the house before we begin. We'll accept no slander nor questions from so-called "friends" or "family....

it's nuts isn't it? i mean i know i've seen green christmases in the past but not so many in a short span. i know i can't just throw out last year's local snow hurricane but assuming i do, last winter was jack shit for snow as well. even with the what 6+' that fell we were back to bare grass in a we...

yet another 50F late December day in Buffalo. documenting the last year in local weirdness from a Western NY weatherblog - the area has gone from most snow [and 90% of that was just from 2 storms (noting of course that one was the deadly xmas storm...)] in a year in local history to the 2nd-least ov...

this entire description kinda excited me. I'm still floored at and will never forgive myself for gifting my 2600 (and original playstation...) to a friend as we moved to Vancouver 10+ years ago - I could jam on a little Adventure (level 3) right now... that problem seems so familiar - it sounds like...

one thing that's really difficult for me in middle age is to not be overwhelmed with how much music is "out there" and how much of it has grown huge and I'll never know. Noah Kahan I'd never heard of before September when my daughter started sending me daily links to his music, demanding ...

not sure how relevant but i last went in winter 2006 on a hockey/drinking trip. Bring skates - honestly. Hell, throw a few sticks/pucks in the car as well. Finding a few outdoor skating areas / rinks right near the wall is my best memory (other than seeing a few games at Le Colisee). Anyone know any...

maybe MISTER Pegula could co-hire them to run some shit across town for the Sabres. i.e. that "other" team he bought and forgot about. (entire organization has turned a former hockey crazed city into one of complete and utter apathy. I have watched 1 sabres game this year and don't even th...

yeah and related (and i feel like i may have brought this up before, apologies) is i can't have anyone call me "mister webster" - first of all, it's not my name, and second .... no. please please call me max ffs. idk i know even with my relatively-young parents in the 80s it was considered...

LOL exquisite timing for that tweet - i have to watch that video again now (actually now that I see it again that "delivery" is more akin to a knuckleball, but honestly they should have CGI'd someone else into that scene...) a billion times yes. MTV played the fk out of that video - that's...

:( goddammit, Johnnie. I'm so sorry. This is tough for me because whenever you move base to base or eventually retire from the military, they all kinda disappear.

i've never rooted for a soccer team in my life that has played a game like that today. so that's what it's like - fk that was fun. Could (should) have had more than 1 but 1 was enough.
