Friday Links!

For those of you who came here Friday morning expecting my Bills preview for the weekend, I apologize. I am going to put it up on Monday. I am exhausted and really didn’t have the energy to write a lengthy Bills preview last night. Big week for the boys here at FTLT, though.

Last weekend was the bloggers nerd fest, which was a blast, and Talkin_Proud and I went the the Sabres game on Wednesday where I showed him how to efficiently walk through packed corridors in between periods. Seriously, I am like the Wayne Gretzky of hallway walking. I see a hole and I hit it hard, bobbing and weaving around people of all ages. If you ever get the chance to see it, well, I hope that you are taking notes. It takes a talented guy to go to the bathroom, smoke two cigarettes, buy four beers, and be back in time for the start of the next period. I usually try to be modest, but I am really awesome at moving quickly at sporting events. Enough bragging though, onto the links-

• Today might be the saddest day in the history of the internet. You see, my most favorite website ever has decided to call it quits.
• My birthday is next weekend. This gives you plenty of time to order this for me and have it in time to hand deliver it by then. I thank you in advance.
• The Roost has a very well done write up about about Tim Connolly. First and foremost, I am a Buffalo sports fan, and any one who does anything to hurt the chances of my teams winning, well, I dislike them. But Timmy, well, I am really just starting to be terrible for him, too.
• If you are a fan of the item listed above, here is a nice piece about the man who made it happen.
  

  It's after six Lemon, what am I, a farmer?

• I love bad puns more than I love bragging about my ability to walk quickly through a large crowd.
• I went to Toronto this week to see the Hold Steady. If you are not into them yet, well, I don’t know what is wrong with you. This album is a good of a place to start as any.
• Did anyone else notice the shot the Bob Dicesare took at Harry Neale in the paper this week? (third from the bottom)
• Obama is a comic book collector. If you knew that before the election would you still have voted for him? I can’t help but think of the episode of 30 Rock where Jack is trying to become the CEO of NBC/GE and Steve Buscemi finds out about his cookie jar collection. This is bad Jack, very, very bad.
• It is better to be a Buffalo Blogger than a Burmese Blogger. No doubt about that. Then again, if I started to post some of the poetry that I used to write to girls in middle school I, too, might deserve to be imprisoned.

That is it for us. Expect a couple of Thomas Vanek Goal Watch write ups over the weekend, other than that, it is going to be a nice relaxing weekend, free of the Buffalo Bills making me want to rip all of my hair out. That can wait until Monday.
