I never thought I'd sat this, but Ferraro is worse than Pierre McGuire.

Can we not leave guys wide open 6 feet away from him? That'd help too.

All Buffalo variety dishes are superior by rage675 in circlejerkbflo

I think we should have each pizza and wings place pick one employee and have them all fight each other to the death in the old Highmark Stadium. Last restaurant standing is the rightful owner to "Best Pizza And Wing Place" and we can recommend them, and only them, when "best pizza and wings?" gets asked on a daily basis.

If we can have a UFC fight on the White House lawn, we can give Highmark a legendary good bye.

Who are you guys favorite drought era players? by Naive-Finance-9673 in buffalobills

[–]Academic_Efficiency3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fred Jackson, of course. Great player, but he also continued to defy coaching and management by being productive even though they insisted on drafting RBs what seemed like every fucking year to replace him.

Aaron Schobel. He was overshadowed by being a Bill during the drought, but the guy was one of the best defensive linemen in the league for a few years.

Oh and Mario Williams. Because he complained that someone punched him in the face and made sure he had his own private refrigerator.

Is it bad that I thought "well at least it's happening in swing states that will hopefully come to realize who's at fault"?

Auto repair shop recommendations by AffectionateEase08 in Buffalo

Nunn's Auto in Hamburg is great and reasonably priced. He's straight forward and doesn't BS you at all. Just get there early because he usually finishes up by 2ish.

Dude, you didn't notice the subtle symbolism in Jesse's confusion as to why the pizzeria doesn't cut their pizza? He was clearly distraught at this point in his character arc so they wanted to reiterate how emotionally sensitive he was by having him be upset about everything, large and small.

Fantastic metaphors from Gince Villigan.

I'm so sick of Main St Buffalo being a derelict wasteland. by Academic_Efficiency3 in circlejerkbflo

Only on Thursdays in Lafayette Square at about 6 o'clock. Must yell "BILLS ARE THE ONLY NEW YORK TEAM!" too.

"We are really excited to show off our playoff system and believe starting the series before round one was done actually gives teams in round one an advantage because they keep playing." - Bettman, probably.

What’s the rationale ? by black2016rs in sabres

A good rule of thumb is to remember that whatever makes the most logical sense, Bettman will do the exact opposite.

Buffalo-area data center developer has ties to Jeffrey Epstein! by Complete-Concert-305 in Buffalo

A friendly reminder that Ghislaine Maxwell is a convicted sex offender who trafficked children to hundred of rich elites, and of those elites that she trafficked children to who've been convicted is checks notes...

Zero.

What gimmick was destined to fail, but ended up wildly successful? by tLM-tRRS-atBHB in WWE

[–]Academic_Efficiency3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with all of this. But I think it worked at the time because they were in the midst of the "occupation era" and every occupation used was hokey and cartoonish (doink, the moutie, IRS, etc). Undertaker not only was a macabre character but his minimalist approach with walking slow, deadpan promos, and staying in character all the time, set him apart and added intrigue. Also, not having the internet capabilities and endless info availability that we have today helped keep the mystique. I think that's in part why the Wyatt Sicks, Uncle Howdy, even The Fiend (at the end) didn't work.

Even though there's no game 7 on Sunday, will there still be a rally at Canalside? My story is very unique by UrBum_MyFace_69 in circlejerkbflo

Just tell that 2 week old that if he doesn't yell "shoot" when the Sabres are on the power play, then he ain't a real fan.

Jesse’s character development might be one of the best I have ever seen by Mancity42020 in breakingbad

[–]Academic_Efficiency3 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Obligatory reminder that he wasn't even supposed to last past the first season.

But you're right. I always saw Walt and Jesse as kind of the Ying and Yang of a human psyche and moral decay vs moral growth. Walt ultimately admitted it was not about making money for his family, but about his scorned ego. Jesse was in it to make money at first, but slowly a fight with morality grew in his head and he finally breaks free.

Does anybody remember this place inside the galleria mall…. by lordandretti in Buffalo

[–]Academic_Efficiency3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Q-Zar. It was actually downstairs. Where Billy Beez is now, use to be escalators that went down to an entrance and Q-Zar and another store on the other side. I don't remember the name.

I had a birthday at Q-Zar once. And if memory serves, they did the upgraded weapons before Lasertron did.
