Catching Up
Sep 11, 2008 Life, Media, NFL, NHL
I haven’t been able to post much, but here are a few things I’m reading:
Saying Goodbye to the Aud at Sabres.com, I can see the process of dismantling the building beginning outside my window at work. The outer walls are being torn down as we speak. The article has a great history of the Aud if you are (like me) unfamiliar with it other than as the place the Sabres used to play.
Bills news, minus all the Brett Favre crap for week 1. Thanks to the Dukes of Awesome.
Dr. Z moved the Bills from 16 to 9 in his rankings. The out-of-date movie references are free.
Media Day trash talk involving Marcus Stroud and the Jags. Like they needed to get him more amped up for this game with their patchwork o-line. Good luck with that.
Some guy named Brady got hurt, leaving sports punditry all aflutter at the thought of busting out their ’storming the Cassel’ puns.
Basic Instructions - How to Cope When You’re Feeling Old
Richard Zednik’s return is covered by James Mirtle…hopefully his mind is alright after the injury. What a year for sports injuries in Buffalo.
Oh, and before there is too much complaining about Quinn being a minority owner, check out this bit on Henry Samueli of the Ducks. Hopefully it’s the only time sex caves, Ecstasy and the owner of a hockey club are mentioned in the same place.

Buffalo Zoo and Erie County Fair

Yes, we were crazy enough to do both in one day…here are some pictures!
Tropical parasites, your carefree infestation ends here! Tonight, you swim in ointments of righteous hygiene!
The reference will make more sense if you are a fan of a certain cartoon, as I am.

All of which were taken either dropping my son off before heading to a wedding, or at the wedding. :)
This is NOT right
I missed free Slurpee day. Those punks know I’m there all the time, couldn’t they have mentioned it at least? NOT COOL, 7-11.

Buffalo Homecoming
Stepping away from the NHL draft and other nerdity for a moment, I’d like to point out (both for locals and potential visitors alike) that June 26-29 is Buffalo Homecoming, a yearly event to highlight what there is to like about Buffalo. June 26th is dedicated to the city’s varied eateries, and folks are encouraged to try one they’ve never been to. Later days including a Career Fair, the Buffalo Technology Entrepreneur Conference, tours of the various Buffalo neighborhoods (including South Buffalo, which starts at Tim Russert’s Children’s Garden). Add to this event the usual happenings (Wicked is at Shea’s, Shakespeare in Delaware Park), and you realize that Buffalo has more going on than Applebee’s and Dave and Busters as some would have you believe.

Attention S & R Greenleaf Landscaping
May 23, 2008 Life, They Said It
Hi, guys. You don’t know me, but I know you. Specifically, ‘Rob’. Rob left a positively joyous message on my phone, apparently mistaking me for someone who owes his company (the aforementioned S & R Greenleaf Landscaping) money. Trust me, pal, if my yard looked like it does now, and I owed you $240, I’d be the mad one. I don’t actually do any business with you, and it’s a good thing, as I can laugh off your voicemail calling me a ‘fucking douchebag’. I understand you may be upset that your customer has been paying you a dollar and change each month, but I don’t think the f-bomb is going to make him more likely to pay larger amounts. So, dumbass, the next time you are out insulting your customer base with your buddies at the bar and decide to start drunk-dialing them, make sure you dial the right number. The only reason I’m not calling you back to chew you out is because you didn’t leave a call back number, exhorting me to ‘look us up’. Well, seeing that you don’t have a website beyond your Superpages listing, guess what future potential customers who search the web for you will find?
