• A Question Of Motivation

    First, the Sabres…from John Vogl over at the Buffalo News: “We didn’t compete,” captain Craig Rivet said. “We didn’t compete at all. They played a playoff game and gave everything they had, and we looked like a bunch of guys that wanted to wait and hopefully win a hockey game. “It’s pathetic. It’s very upsetting.…

  • Mayville Ice Palace

    We recently took the kids to see the Mayville Ice Palace on the way back from ‘camping’.  I’ll have pictures and stuff about that later, but check this out (and yes, we walked out on the ice to visit the ice fishermen):

  • Trade Deadline Day 2010

    It’s that day again, the day Sabres fans have been conditioned to complain about.  Darcy Regier usually does something on Deadline day, but never a big earth-shattering move like many folks want.   There are a ton of rumors, many names in play that ‘we’ have decided can ‘help’, but usually the Sabres don’t want to…

  • Movie Review: The Book of Eli

    I saw The Book of Eli on Sunday (edit:  now on DVD and Blu-ray), and enjoyed it. However, I wasn’t planning on reviewing it officially until I read this story, that requires an FJM-style takedown. I will have a go at that after the jump, as there will be MASSIVE SPOILERS.

  • Fun With SPAM: Most Important!!!

    As a slightly popular blogger, I get a good amount of spam comments, though most is caught by the filters. The rest vary from ugly linkfests to sneaky-sly advertising. Here’s a recent favorite (note, may be some swearing): name: step ladders Hello, Mr. Ladders! The lowercase name is edgy. And ‘step’, your parents were unique.…

  • Time Warner Raising Rates…Fight Back!

    Many of you have probably heard by now, TWC is raising rates, as much as 12% depending on what you have. You can point straight at crap like the recent Fox nearly being pulled due to pricing negotiations running right up to the deadline, and (locally) the Channel 4 craziness. So what can men do…

  • A Bit Of Housekeeping

    Just a heads up: If you normally browse HIYLJ from a handheld device (and I am impressed at how many of you do), you should now get a much more small-screen friendly display thanks to the WPTouch plugin. If you’ve seen the Willful Caboose via a mobile browser, you’ve got the right idea. buried movie…
