Never cared for Seinfeld , the guys voice annoyed me.
Loved Mash!
But Threes Company, Cheers and All in the Family were my favorites.
Honorable mention to the Jeffersons.
There were plenty of good programs back in our day.
The junk on television now a days is just that, junk.
I never watch anything on television now besides Sports , my dvd collections of the old series I just mentioned and a few reality tv programs.
My favorite that I can't miss is The Deadliest Catch , Gold Rush and Extreme Loggers.
I watch those programs because I obviously respect a hard working man and I certainly respect them boys on those three programs.
Those boys on those crab boats are some of the hardest working mother bleepers you will surely ever find.
I know what I do and have done for 27 years now and how hard I have worked on major construction sites (mentally (running them) and physically) , not sure I could do what they do on those crab boats.
Not sure if I could hang with them and that's after chasing concrete for 27 years which is one of the most physically demanding jobs I have ever come across in my nearly half a century of life.
Tis why I have ENORMOUS respect for them.
A local #111 buddy of mine (the Macedonian madman I call him) wants us to go to Alaska one of these years and give it a go just to see if we can do it.
Perhaps we will one day, I would love to try it and work along side some boys that are very easy to respect.
Show I detest ?
I want to rip every single morons face off on that Duck dynasty show.

Eh, I don't post much unlike some others that are here like it's a job.
So I post in spurts.
I'll post some of my poetry from time to time to provide some culture here.
Concrete guy that will be having a book of poetry published soon.
Who would have thought?

Im a factory worker with a very small following for my music project (see: Dynamic Threads) so its not too far-fetched. Congrats on being published.

Just wrote this poem last month.

The life of a concrete man

Hurry..hurry..hurry, everything at lightning speed.
Concrete waits for no one,
not even Jesus Christ himself.

The harsh relentless sun beats you down into the very ground,
the very ground that you wish to pave.
Exhausted, dehydrated most days, you the concrete man,
you've been here before many times.

Rain, wind, sleet and snow,
also make things harder than they already are.
Day after day mother nature brings a challenge in some way,
wearing down and already ravaged body.

Hands resembling and elder senior.
Dry and cracked like the floor of the most arid desert.
Calloused and full of lumps.
Fingers that can only bend to form a claw.

A shoulder that misses it's cartilage that once lived there.
A back that stiffens after sitting down,
nothing a 20 pace walk can't straighten out eventually.

A lower back that brings THE pain ,
a gnawing pain....everyday,
everyday I ignore it to push through another day.

Knees that are numb and have no use for knee pads any longer.
Hernias that I count as I push them back home at work days end.
Feet unsure of whether they can walk another mile tomorrow.

I even hurry my sleep...I know.
A sleep so tortured and restless from the nightly head to toe pain.
Broken ..broken up sleep.
Yet I awaken to accept the challenge once more......

David Michael .............

Life of a factory worker...

"New Support For the Brackish":

http://www.last.fm/music/...+Support+For+the+Brackish

Heart beats faster
As I'm staring down the line
Breathing slower
And I'm thinking about the time

When in my life
I can finally feel alive
Feel like I might
Just try to better make the time

But we are living
In a world so frail
Where we would more than often not opt for a loss
But often fail to break it even

Well, grasp let slip to leave an empty hand
A loss to let me know just where I stand
I'll process a reaction once I've left
Right behind the part where I reflect

I am now starting
Got an image in my head
And I was once heading
In directions left unsaid

I'll manifest
The process of a thought
Solidify
My ideas how I want

And I will take a new direction let it focus, focus
With a lack of all discretion
And a hope for motion

Well, grasp let slip to leave an empty hand
A loss to let me know just where I stand
I'll process a reaction once I've left
Right behind the part where I reflect

Agreed on all.

Al rules, you cokcsucker!

Ok bills people. Rumor is that eli manning may be available next year. Thoughts?
- zdp1189

He's better than anything else likely to be available through FA or trades. Bradford is also likely to become available. I'd take Manning over Bradford.
It will depend on the cost, unless Giants are looking to jettison the contract as a money dump..
We know Orton nor Manuel are the fixes...so yes, I'd go after him and then shore-up the O-line to maximize the value.

In a heartbeat. Spiller, Robert Woods and a 4th round pick.

When that video package aired before the game I turned to my brother and said "this isn't funny at all; people died in that storm". It was completely idiotic and I apologize on behalf of the Florida Panthers' organization... I know I'm a nobody but hey, doing what I can.

Sorry that video was classless . People lost their lives . I don't get upset about that stuff. Just showed total lack of class
What is funny is that even with that storm we would have more people in the arena than they do when their weather is beautiful.
Next time they have a bad hurricane that people lose their lives in . Do you think the fine folks from Buffalo will try to joke about it?
- Maximum Signal

Easy bud. Apologies have been made. Oh, and we aren't forecasted to be hit with a hurricane for a long while.

Thank you DK.
I love writing.

Edit: The small royalty checks my children will receive are nothing to live off of, of course.
It just gives them something to smile about every time they receive one.

Option #4 Stop letting your bloggers have auto play video's in there blogs and I might whitelist the site. Clean up your own house 1st.

the irony, asking to allow adds to make them money after the senseless stuff done over the years to their fans


priceless

IMO one of the best scenes ever written in a sitcom.


Also one that hits home for some of us drinking folk. (3:17 mark)

not sure he makes the position any better

I'd rather they sign orton for 1 more year, bring in a young qb with upside, locker, mallet, foles if available

Mallet looked awful in the couple games. If we get a chance to get Eli Manning you take it

- homiedclown

Hes already signed a 2 year contract but i like the foles idea. I still havent given up on manuel, i really would like to see the progress by next season. The arm he has and the escape-ability hes shown is too promising to just get rid of him without him getting a second chance. Especially, the fact that hes only played 14 games. Im not an ej fan boy, i just believe he may be able to be a decent qb in the future.

Apparently the Panthers showed a video poking fun at our recent snowstorm and just checked twitter out and GMTM and Pegula are furious about it.

Mike Harrington @BNharrington 12m

So GMTM and Pegula clearly being annoyed at video and demanding apology.


George Richards @georgeRichards 27m

GM Dale Tallon said he didn't see the video but was told about it.

John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl 33m

A little between periods press box meeting between Sabres GM Tim Murray and Panthers GM Dale Tallon and Sabres owner Terry Pegula.



Garth has the video on his blog. Classless.

To be honest, I really wasn't offended by it. It was eye-roll worthy, but nothing more than that. The people in this city, including myself, often just need to grow thicker skin and move on.

Oh and by the way...

Also , for the people worrying about losing that very first pick (Generational type player).
Allow me to remind the posters here that we have three 1st round picks and two 2nd rounders .
That is a ton of ammo for Murray that if he wanted, he could package to get back to the top of the draft board next year.
A combination of those first 5 picks in the first 2 rounds and perhaps a goalie to a team (from our stable) may be very interesting to some teams.
A surplus of picks (building blocks for the future) may be what some teams would want in place of just ONE player.
If Murray really wants McDavid or Eichel it is not out of the realm of possibility that if we continue to win now and lose one of those first 2 picks that Murray can not put a package together to still get up there.
Having that many picks in the first 2 rounds can get anything done in my opinion.
The way the rest of this season plays out and the deals done at the deadline (giving away some of those picks or sitting on them) will tell me 100% what Murray may have up his sleeve when it comes to next years entry draft.
So just stop worrying about the winning and just enjoy your Buffalo Sabres.
- BuffaloHardHat

The general managers that end up with picks #1 and #2 in the NHL draft are not going to move those picks for anything, unless they are intentionally looking to get fired.
