Feeling A Bit Homesick »

I came across two awesome websites for us Buffalonians.
One is a great site for Buffalo sports called The Buffalo Sports Museum and another, for those of us that have moved from the Queen City, Buffalo Ex-Pat.
I love this quote from the text of the latter:
“Now in the same way that Dan Quayle is no Jack [...]

Buffalo Sabres, like Bills, being rewarded for mediocrity »

Two weeks from today, the Buffalo Sabres will be in their second day of training camp. In a rare quirk of scheduling, they will begin camp before the Bills have even played their first regular-season game.

The Other Side Of Socialism »

Found this on Peoria.Com today:
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Rorschach’s Journal »

I love this stuff:

Rorschach’s Journal, October 12th.
Dog carcass in alley this morning. Tire tread on burst stomach. The city is afraid of me. I have seen it’s true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains [...]

OK, Here’s A Poll »

Since I wouldn’t know how to make an actual poll, the question is, how many people think it’s a mistake for me to use my blog to vent about or detail my problems with Brdget?

My Absolute Favorite Movie Of All Time »

Everyone has been asked what their favorite band or movie is. And usually, you have to pick the first thing that comes to mind, which is probably influenced by whatever mood you’re in, with the disclaimer that you don’t necessarily have “a favorite” but a lot that you really like.
But, I have to admit, I [...]
