- vincent on tiburon1724’s “Bye Bye Buffalo?” It is a tough economy everywhere for the most part unless you're willing to move to the central mid-west like the Dakotas or Nebraska. Florida is no picnic either, I was down there twice in the last couple of months and things are kind of …
- paul on tiburon1724’s “Bye Bye Buffalo?” Sorry to hear that. Not having a job sucks. At the same time moving to florida sounds real nice right now.
- ladycroft on tiburon1724’s “Ingram” both my brother and sister worked there for several years and enjoyed it.
- noname on tiburon1724’s “Ingram” I have worked at IM for almost 3 years... It's a great place however I must say they are getting more and more "corporate" by the day. This will be the 3rd year without raises - they cut our 401k, forced time off in December (using your pe…
- jim on tiburon1724’s “Ingram” I worked there 10 years ago in customer service and probably have nothing really worthwhile to contribute.
- paul on tiburon1724’s “Ingram” e:terry and I think e:jim both worked there a long time ago.
- drew on tiburon1724’s “Reboot!” Even better (for the world, not the economy) is not buying as much, and when you must buy, buying a used thing. The world has plenty of cars already--we don't need to be making nearly as many new ones. I always buy used cars.
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “Reboot!” True, I think more of my Honda was made in the US than most GM vehicles!
- metalpeter on tiburon1724’s “Reboot!” I have heard that there is no such thing as "An American Car'. For example all the stero stuff and computer stuff isn't made here. I agree with you that captilism isn't working here. As a system it does work but the probelm (in my eyes at …
- vincent on tiburon1724’s “Reboot!” Things will be made here once again when energy costs get to the point that shipping something 1/2 way around the world is too expensive and it is cheaper to pay someone over here to make it.
- tinypliny on tiburon1724’s “Work work work” PSA - Prostate Specific Antigen? Good luck with the job hunt! Hope you get a less stressful one out of retail!! \m/
- james on tiburon1724’s “A Year...” Hey, you have to do what works best. Thanks for playing along in our first round. ^_^
- metalpeter on tiburon1724’s “American Live Action Death Note” Thanks for the info. I'm sure they are a way off but if and when they ever get made it will be interesting to see how it comes out.
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “snowflakes” yeah but it's not Winter....
- paul on tiburon1724’s “snowflakes” True, its even snowed on mother's day.
- metalpeter on tiburon1724’s “snowflakes” Um No It still Could Snow, the Flakes stay up till May 1, as the New Spokesman for Hertel that is what I declare, HA. I'm guessing with it now trying to be Little Italy that someone forgot to take them down. I think I saw an Irish Flag sti…
- paul on tiburon1724’s “snowflakes” That is so crazy that they are still there. Do they have something like the elmwood village association for hertel. I would call them.
- james on tiburon1724’s “Avant Part 2” It is great to hear that so many of them have been purchased already.
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “Avant Part 2” my bad, it's apparently the former Dulski building and I said Donovan...I think the Donovan is the one by the Aud. Anyway apparently some punk destroyed some shit over the weekend inside :/ http://www.buffalonews.com/437/story/632353.html
- metalpeter on tiburon1724’s “Avant Part 2” Nice pictures. I agree that it is nice that there was no NIMBYism with this project. It really looks pretty cool. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it is completely finished.
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “Avant Part 2” yeah I wish the weather was nicer for the pics. Sadly I'm not affiliated with Avant in any way, lol, I just love this stuff...this is actually happening, in Downtown Buffalo....no NIMBYs stopping it or anything, it's amazing! WNYers are WN…
- tinypliny on tiburon1724’s “Avant Part 2” Too bad it was a rainy day. *Pssst: You sound suspiciously like an agent for Avant. Spill it! ;^)
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “L movie” April 29 subtitled and April 30 dubbed at 7:30pm.
- metalpeter on tiburon1724’s “L movie” I had no idea there was just a movie about him. That might be pretty interesting to see. Since I don't know the when I don't know if I all ready have plans but a when and a where would be cool to know.
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “RadioShack!!” Maybe in some city stores it's because there are no other options, but RadioShack is typically in suburban malls and shopping centers, so a bulk of it's business may be in walk-in wanderers who get sucked in by high pressure salesmen? I do…
- metalpeter on tiburon1724’s “RadioShack!!” I still go back to the knowledge base. If you go to best buy it is some young kid who doesn't know what he is talking about. I think Best Buy is pretty cool myself and if I wanted a TV that is where I might go. "Hold on I have a call on my…
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “RadioShack!!” yes back in the day they had Tandy, Remote Control Cars, and were the only destination for most of what you've mentioned, but that's not the case anymore....they've done nothing to differentiate themselves in the market. They sell cell pho…
- metalpeter on tiburon1724’s “RadioShack!!” Not sure if this is true any more, but Radio Shack is where you get the techy stuff. If you have a TV that you want to hook up that is where you go to get all the wires and they will tell you how to do it. All those places with geek squad …
- jason on tiburon1724’s “RadioShack!!” Circuit City was very badly mismanaged. I don't know about the rest. Circuit City had nearly the same amount of employees Radio Shack currently has.
- libertad on tiburon1724’s “RadioShack!!” i don't get it either.

- tiburon1724 on metalpeter’s “THis HSBC Tower is stupid” Well the tower is old, as are most of the other buildings. I certainly can't blame them for wanting a modern building with modern technology, open floors etc...it'd be much more efficient. That said, an abandoned HSBC Tower won't be pretty…
- tiburon1724 on metalpeter’s “Ways to improve Facebook” Dislike button would be great for us, but not Facebook. What advertiser wants people to be able to post a big fat DISLIKE on there for them? And it's all about the $$$
- tiburon1724 on uncutsaniflush’s “Goodbye Bass Pro; Hello, IKEA” Sonic is a fit for the suburbs, not so much the city and definitely not downtown. It focuses on people driving there!! Their food is ok; we had it in Orlando. Once the novelty wears off after about two visits, it's nothing special. And it'…
- tiburon1724 on uncutsaniflush’s “21st voter” I'm guilty of being a non-voter myself. I really only vote in Presedential, Governors and Mayors races as I know nothing about the other candidates nor do I really care enough to spend the time to research it to be perfectly honest. I'm la…
- tiburon1724 on uncutsaniflush’s “Goodbye Bass Pro; Hello, IKEA” IKEA would be awesome!! I don't go to any in Canada now because I don't know the details of crossing the border with the stuff. And Pittsburgh's too much of a hike to make it worthwhile. The other ideas you guys have floated are great too …
- tiburon1724 on vincent’s “Smashing Pumpkins” eh, they're not really SP anymore. I went to Tampa last year as they were playing there on my birthday (and I lived in Orlando for so long)...it was HORRIBLE. At one point he was standing on stage playing the kazoo for a good 20 minutes. P…
- tiburon1724 on janelle’s “Fear Mongerer” Was it by any chance APX? They came to my door last summer, very similar spiel, conjuring up terrible thoughts....you're near the corner, there's a lot of rentals on the cross street...etc. I told 'em not interested. The people across the …
- tiburon1724 on enknot’s “Queen of Sorrow” pic? I'll give it a try reversing her fortunes!
- tiburon1724 on vincent’s “Apple Rant” Carolla does a Podcast that's really good. Check it out. (The Adam Carolla Show)
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “Reboot!” True, I think more of my Honda was made in the US than most GM vehicles!
- tiburon1724 on metalpeter’s “AZ shows how this country is backwards” I don't know why it's not as simple as...are you legal? Yes-ok you can stay. No-get the fuck out. Now.
- tiburon1724 on mk’s “Dear Buffalo Bills...” hey, losses are good. Losses equal higher draft pick! And the future may have a silver lining with Ralph stating he's willing to pay up to $10mill/yr for a Super Bowl coach.
- tiburon1724 on libertad’s “Know Your States” it pisses me off because i'll be like a few miles off and it still doesn't count!!
- tiburon1724 on james’s “Health Care” Greed is what makes Capitalism work. It plays off human nature. That said, it ultimately hits a wall where it self destructs, just as the human race will.
- tiburon1724 on himay’s “Tightly Wound” Overall I find drivers here to be courteous and respectful. The lack of traffic helps. You'd die in Orlando, I dreaded getting in a car when I lived there.
- tiburon1724 on paul’s “Christmas already?” yup Christmas has been flowing in from the warehouse for a month now. Have some out, no choice.
- tiburon1724 on paul’s “My first flu shot” it shouldn't hurt if they give the shot right :/
- tiburon1724 on paul’s “Snow Leopard Day” I don't get it. What I mean is why pay for this? Shouldn't it be a free upgrade? It's not like it changes the OS in any significant way..
- tiburon1724 on zobar’s “topic” I like Cage. I think he's accepted some really terrible scripts in recent years though. And Face/Off is one of my favorite movies!
- tiburon1724 on james’s “Change Buffalo” Unfortunately Brown will be mayor for quite some time. He's black. In Buffalo. He will only be defeated by another black probably.
- tiburon1724 on jim’s “The End is the Beginning is the End” I like the Smashing Pumpkins reference!
- tiburon1724 on libertad’s “When I die...” The thought of worms and other bugs crawling through and eating my body freaks me out and makes me want to go the cremation route.
- tiburon1724 on paul’s “Being chemical bombed” yeah, Erie County has a 24 hour neighbor notification law. Turn 'em in!
- tiburon1724 on libertad’s “The problem with Florida” Man, my parents need a sinkhole to swallow their house! They're stuck in it since the real estate market there has completely collapsed
- tiburon1724 on mrmike’s “Swine Flu” I LOLed!
- tiburon1724 on mrmike’s “Walls coming down” Very interesting! They've made it far since I last saw. Can't wait for it to be done.
- tiburon1724 on mrmike’s “Take me out to the Ballgame” That's really sad. The Mets are so bad and the new logo is one of the worst logos I've ever seen in sports. Poor Buster. We deserve better!
- tiburon1724 on tiburon1724’s “snowflakes” yeah but it's not Winter....
- tiburon1724 on mrmike’s “Pointless Sports Post” -I agree Lindy's a good coach, but Regier is a terrible GM. Someone's head has to roll to make a statement when you suck for two straight years. His would be the appropriate head. - EA is continuing the game franchise unfortunately unchang…
- tiburon1724 on mike’s “Spot Desserts” so go on over to Chocolate Bar :)
