I'm guessing '86 Chevy Celebrity Eurosport.

Maybe an 87 Olds Delta 88?

[rockyi]

^Close, it's a 1988 Buick Park Avenue. It was Virginia's car and it finally bit the big one about two months ago. (thank God)
I did LOVE those cushy, velvet seats. They held up better than the car body did.

[Buckeye Native 001]

Sweet.

On an unrelated note, my car survived the 388 mile trip from my house in Orange County to my parents' house in Phoenix.

She's a beaut no doubt. But I still swoon over my first car: a 1966 baby blue, Valiant station wagon. Got it for $100. What a gem. Had a leak in the gas tank (which I never did find), so I ended up pushing it every once in a while. I was in a lot better shape back then.:yes:

[HomeInMyShoes]

^And gas was cheaper. :)

I'll bet it was sharp....Baby blue, huh?
My first car was a 1970 Bronze, Chevy, Chevelle. It was only six years old when I got it. I beat the crap out of that car but I sure would love to have it now.

Here's a black version...

Buffalo's loss is Birmingham's gain (or something like that).

Congrats Justin, I know you weren't happy in upstate.

[DallasTexan]

I love my Sheraton :hug:

It feels good to be back in the 21st century. Ironic, considering I'm in Alabama, but Buffalo really is stuck in 1977.

Let's just hope I get this job tomorrow.

[Michi]

Hoping you get this job tomorrow!

[rockyi]

The Sheraton Four Points here in Rock Island will be converted to a Holiday Inn soon. I thought perhaps the Sheraton chain was going under.

My God!!!

You mean there are places worse than Detroit? On well, at least we made it to the late 1980s with our bootlegged Mandalay Bay Casino.

And it isn't even cold yet... pussy!

[CGII]

In a few weeks I'd say with University Club's completion Milwaukee will finally be in 2006 and free from the 1990's vibe, but woe, in less than a month it's 2007. :(

[Buckeye Native 001]

How does one have a 1990s vibe? :shrug:

[CGII]

Vh1

[Buckeye Native 001]

Ah.

[SuburbanNation]

Ive been driving between kansas city and st. louis at least once a week for over two months in a mustang 5.0 with 160,000 miles. this has ended.

soon, i will no longer own a ford (or an "american" car). she was a good car, but i'm sorry detroit... :(

[Buckeye Native 001]

[Buckeye Native 001]

So we kind of hijacked the picnic thread, yeah?

[Ex-Ithacan]

Guess we got our hands slapped too, eh?

[Buckeye Native 001]

'Twas fun, though.

[Cleveland Brown]

^ With all the whores and booze, if it weren't then you definately needed a refund

[rockyi]

What I want to know is...how can you hijack a thread with the title "We're having a picnic?" Were we supposed to take it seriously?

Well they can't touch us here......can they?

[rockyi]

Ha! I just read the picnic "reprimand" (been having a hell of a time getting through lately) I see the thread is back to two pages. Oh well, it's the most fun I've had here in a while.

Next years picnic theme.....OK, hear me out.....lasagna, belly dancers and napalm....huh? huh? huh?

[Ex-Ithacan]

^ I'm there. Can we please invite my new love: Jan Terri?

[Buckeye Native 001]

We'll need an effigy of Squiggy.

[rockyi]

You can invite whoever you want, Ex and we'll, uh....hmmm.....wellll, looky who's on the guest list for the "other" picnic snotfest...
updated guest list:

1. GR2NY
2. Steely Dan
3. spyguy
4. The Nerd
5. Buckeye Native 001
6. Circle33
7. harls

Well la-dee-da...'scuse me while I go play my grand piano.

[Ex-Ithacan]

^ Uh-oh, who'd a thunk HE'd turn into goody-goody 2 shoes?:rolleyes:

[rockyi]

Well, EX, it looks like it's just you, me, Jan Terri, the belly dancers and loads of naplam.

[Ex-Ithacan]

I love the smell of napalm in the morning (not to mention Jan Terri:naughty: )

[Buckeye Native 001]

Well, Steely deleted the post, but I told GR2NY that I was dropping off the baked potatoes as a peace offering and then heading back to the whore/PBJ/rolaids/Tina Yother's puke party. Its the post that prompted Steely to issue that warning. Honest to god, I swear!

[Cleveland Brown]

"Napalm"... hmmm is that edible?

[rockyi]

OK, Buckeye, here's the thing, you'll be our "mole"...OK, since you already have your invite, you walk in to the "other" picnic, replace their potato salad with the "Tina Yothers Puke Surprise Potato Salad" and perhaps bring a big jug of our special "Ernest Borgnine Dirty Underpants Sun Tea" and any other sabotage you can think of then you can be back in the club.

[Buckeye Native 001]

Hmm...what if I send Dustin "Screech" Diamond to their picnic to deliver a forty-minute long telegram discussing the pratfalls of Reagonomics?

I'll pick him up. I could ride my bike to his forclosur'd house.


Anyway, we need to start a kickass picnic alternative.

Kickass and Midwest only go together in Chicago. Kick_Ass and Midwest go together in the roughest parts of Detroit, St. Louis, Cinci, Cleveland, Gary...

Don't worry, he gets to be dragged from the bike via bungee cable.

[Buckeye Native 001]

Haha, we're so evil.

[rockyi]

Oh, I dunno. Dragging Screech on a bungee cord sounds like a good thing for all mankind.

[Buckeye Native 001]

I'm drinking a Diet Coke right now and itching to discuss world politics with Borgnine.

Whether or not he'd be drinking a Diet Coke is irrelevant.

[Ex-Ithacan]

After "the picnic" incident, did you feel a little naughty?

[Buckeye Native 001]

No, I've been slapped on the wrist before for much worse.

Why would anyone after that. Naughty??? Hell, you guys didn't even have to use safe words. Now, that's naughty :whip:

[rockyi]

Earlier I was watching the Food Channel. It was interesting. They make good food. It makes me hungry. Rachael Ray has a rather large butt.
Seriously, now I know why she's always behind a counter. When viewed from the side, from the waist down she's shaped like a map of Africa.



.....not that I watch her show or anything, you just can't escape her lately, she's everywhere!!!!!!

[Buckeye Native 001]

I prefer the Italian girl (the one with the big head) but I have no idea what's her name? :shrug:

[Ex-Ithacan]

^Giada Delaurentis - I love her, but my wife says I have no chance.

[rockyi]

OK....Rachael Ray and Giada De Laurentis in an all out, all girl food fight......take your pick...

I'll go for Giada

[Ex-Ithacan]

Giada (since the smilies aren't working , picture the drooling smilie here)

[rockyi]

Hmmmm...... I was just thinking......You know, Ray could club De Laurentis over the head with a big ol' leg of lamb then sit on her face with that titanic mega-pooper and suffocate her.........I'm changing my vote, Ray it is.

[Ex-Ithacan]

C'mon rock, Giada has "Our Thing" backing her.

[CGII]

Word of the year=mega-pooper

[Buckeye Native 001]

Giada over Ray, definitely. :slob:

Several friends went up to Torrance yesterday to see Ray at a book signing.

Also, word of the year is "Refuckulate" for those of you who've seen Trailer Park Boys.

Great. I'll use it for warmth!

[CGII]

Give it China. They'll need it in two decades.

[rockyi]

Who just farted?......Nerd, was that you?

[Cleveland Brown]

^ This fart occured becuase I succumed to the evil desires of suburban chains and had a burrito for Taco Bell. Of course had I chosen to have dinner in the city, I wouldn't have to about unhealthy food and my farts would smell like a field of flowers.

Of course when you avoid suburban chains and eat in the city you piss Chardonay and shit chocolate truffels ;)

Dear Justin,

Thank you for your interest in employment with BellSouth as a (Corporate Account Executive -BIRMINGHAM, AL- 9199 RR) 1/2/07 in Birmingham, AL. After reviewing the excellent qualifications on your resume and the completion of a successful phone interview, I would like to invite you to an onsite interview as soon as possible.

[DallasTexan]

PLEASE JESUS, PLEASE.

Let me get this.

[rockyi]

Maybe you'll be out before the next 12 foot snowstorm.

[DallasTexan]

Oh no! Too late!

[Buckeye Native 001]

Good luck, Justin

[Buckeye Native 001]

I have worked at least one of my three jobs every day since November 30 without a day off and I'm losing my mind.

[Cleveland Brown]

PLEASE JESUS, PLEASE.

Let me get this.

Good luck! Jesus??? I'm shocked!!!

You know Trading Spouses had a Buffalo wife swap with her Miami counterpart. I couldn't help but think that the B-lo woman was a hick. She was shocked that women go out, without their husbands socially with other women.

Of course this doesn't reflect the entire city, but that's kind of backwards even by lowly Detroit standards.

[DallasTexan]

Fuck, Buffalo is hick... and that's pretty bad, considering that it's worse than where I just moved from (Alabama).

[HomeInMyShoes]

You haven't seen where I come from.

When's the on-site interview Sulley?

I'm seriously bored today. All the skybar threads are lame. I think I'm going to take some photos while going to grab some lunch. Where should I go? University City? Down the street? South Grand maybe? Downtown, no wait, there's no place to eat downtown. Maybe the Hill? But I don't think Monday lunch is possible in the Hill unless I'm nabbing the BK on Hampton.

Any ideas? I'm leaving in about 35 minutes. Maybe I'll base it on whichever direction train comes first.

[Hayward]

So I'm sitting here in my university's main computing center (yes we technically finished the semester last week, but I chose to turn in a paper later). So anyway, I turn around and get up to retreive my paper from the printer when I see some dude in the other cubicle over here on SSP. I didn't say anything to him. But I thought it was kind of weird. I mean you divide up the number of U.S. members across the number of cities, and it's not that high. Small world.

[Buckeye Native 001]

I'm freezing my ass off here in California.

We're actually colder than some of you in flyover country.

[HomeInMyShoes]

^Hahahhahaha. Oh wait, it's colder here this morning. Come enjoy the 37 with rain this morning. Damn, and I've got stuff to do today.

[CGII]

[DallasTexan]

Welcome to Buffalo.

I'd probably be warmer and oh-so-trendy if I lived on the 91st floor of the Hancock.

[Cleveland Brown]

'The FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everytime I turn of the TV, Johnny Mathis is on the screen. Seriously PBS, a Johnny Mathis special 4 of the 7 days this week???? Oh, and just when I thought I had a break on Sunday, there you go, CBS airing a Sunday morning interview with Mr. Mathis. When I tune into the Christmas radio station on my computer, Johnny Mathis three times per day, EVERYDAY. Picked up a random magazine, the fuck, Johnny Mathis again.

Seriously I've never like Johnny Mathis music and no, evil music conglomerate, I don't think any amount of indoctination will make me run out and buy "Chances are...."

Bah-humbug!!!

[Ex-Ithacan]

Awwww c'mon Nerd, Johnny Mathis is one of the greats. Such a smooth voice. I love the guy (not as much as Dean Martin of course).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsuTDVbVjc8

I think one of the reasons he's been all over the place lately is beacause he's known for his Christmas albums and he's in his 70s now. I know Tony Bennett had a resurgance a couple of years ago. I guess us baby boomers realize a lot of our great voices from the past are leaving us. :(

[rockyi]

Yay!!! My new computer (Hewlett Packard) that I got this past spring is on the blink and is being repaired already for God knows how long. I've been without it since last Saturday afternoon and I want it back NOW!!!!!

Yay for modern technology!!
Yay for cheap crap made in China by 8 year olds!!
Yay for it going out at Christmastime so it will take twice as long to repair than any other time of year!!
Yay for my crappy luck!!
Yay, Yay, Yay!!!!!

I'm now at a friends home and they are letting me use thiers.

[Ex-Ithacan]

I know the feeling rock. It's hard to go cold turkey.

There's plenty of great singers, but Dino was so cool and made it seem so effortless. Just great.

[rockyi]

I know the feeling rock. It's hard to go cold turkey.
Yep, this is my entertainment since I rarely watch television anymore. I don't know what to do with myself when I'm at home now.
I should just go down to Best Buy and demand another computer since I can't trust this new one I just bought. They might fix it but the warranty will be running out in March and that's probably when it'll screw up again.


Now I'm at my folks house using their unbelieveably slow computer.

[Buckeye Native 001]

Happy Holidays, yall.

[Ex-Ithacan]

Right back at ya BN001, and all you other rascals as well.
