A friendly place for friends who drink

Ya guys don't have to make light of it.. it's an opportunity for free beer. You don't have to participate if you don't want to. The biggest part is "why you like the picture you picked" which there isn't much of yet... if its just a joke, we can end it now and go about the normal rambling.

 

Hey mine were serious. That's a pretty unique building that I haven't seen anything remotely close to anywhere else. And the Tesla monument is just awesome.
I'm for serious on trying an Irish Breakfast

 

Friendly friends make friendly banter, CAD. Seriously though -- nice of you to do a giveaway. I've never been to Buffalo so just taking the piss.

 

Did you read the description link? They compared the smoke to hints of bacon. That's duffman hook line and sinker lol. Haven't opened the bottle I picked up for myself yet. Might share it on Easter with friends. Always keep their special releases for a nice occasion. I need to make it up to see Tesla once the weather breaks.

 

I saw a PBS special that toured the Martin house and complex and really enjoyed it. His architecture doesn't appeal to everyone, but I am very much drawn in by it. One of the few things I've seen or read that would entice me to visit Buffalo (in addition to Ralph Wilson stadium) Thanks for the generosity of the share and pride in your town CAD! (I didn't elaborate at first because of stupid conference calls.)

 

Mine was too dude...I think Buffalo is probably a bit like the twin cities...except for the snowmaggedon, yikes

 

That bottle has Duff written all over it lol
The Canadian side actually has the cool museum for Tesla you can visit. I don't know when the NY Telsa museum will be ready. I think they reached their crowdsourcing fundraiser goal for it, though

 

I know the Oatmeal pushed the funding to buy that site way over the top. I hadn't heard that funding for building the museum had been hit as well. That's definitely a place we'll take a weekend trip to visit.

 

Looking into it now, there haven't been a whole bunch of updates beyond the push to sell inscribed bricks to help with the fund raising, which ended on 12/31

 

No problem dude you know you're good. FLW was just forced upon us in every single architecture class, which I hated. I get it. He did big things. I understood that in 4th grade. Let me decide who I like now I'd love to visit Fallingwater though, have you been?

Just a drive-by. Definitely would like to visit properly. And totally understand something being forced down your throat. That's how I came to hate the Cowboys. America's team? Really? When did we have that vote to decide?

 

I like historical facts. Buffalo was the first city to build street lights around 1886 due, in large part to the falls. Found out that this drove much of the innovation around the city in the early days. For more information http://ethw.org/Early_Electrification_of_Buffalo

 

I have no idea what's going on in here.

FWIW, there are no particularly cool looking pubs/brewpubs here.

 

That place is about 2 minutes from my work. Never seen the inside of it and have driven past it at least a few hundred times.

 

Glad to be of service.

Educating people one post at a time... take that Gavin.

 

While lesser known than the iconic falls on the nation's border, Buffalo's greatest water/fire combo must be the Eternal Flame Falls in Shale Creek Preserve. Legend has it that the fire has burned since the Ice Age, when ancient Buffaloonians were drawn to its constant source of warmth and light. They keep the fire burning in their hearts to this day. Legend also has it that the light has never been extinguished, although in truth, occasionally a park ranger will have to sneak under the falls with a Zippo in the middle of the night.

@TheCADJockey - have you been?

 

Don't have much to add, I know very little about Buffalo. Jim Kelly was a great competitor, and beat cancer. I think he's a good role model for people who like sports. People like iijakii.

 

My grandfather took me once when I was little. It's cool as funk

 

More coffee.

And a 50pack of Timbits.

 

I'll just leave this here...

Not going to reply this time...

 

How many morons get hurt there every year? Last year it seemed like a lot more than usual. I still haven't been there.

 

GAH, couldn't resist.

 

Must...not...post.

EDIT: aaaand @Psylocide went there.

 

Bahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha

 

Thanks for the heads up.. I'll get my popcorn ready. This funking guy.

I'm a fan of stupid people getting hurt, as long as they don't hurt others or get places shut down. Natural selection and all that. Dude you ready for some kickass weather or what??

 

@TheCADJockey here's a cool pic I found on Google. I just think it was a nice picture of a winter city. We don't get snow here, but I love winter and cold.

*If this isn't Buffalo my bad, I just googled "City of Buffalo Pictures."

Rofl this cracked me up.. you're good. It's funny when I realize our city hall isn't as recognizable to everyone else as it is to me. Right in the middle of your picture.

 

Chuckle OL there.

I wonder too.

They are good pictures and text. I appreciate the googling and organisational effort that went in here. I'm just jealous of your excellent entry.

CAD. I didn't mean to make a joke out of it. My aplogies. I think it's a stellar display of friendliness, generosity and home-pride.

I know nought about Buffalo save for what you have educated me on. My only interaction with and knowledge of the The Nickel City/City of light is the bits and bobs you post here in HBT and the cool links you have shared in the past.

I though it thusly fitting to post your right foot/sneaker, a fine looking stout in a Spigelau glass and a BIAB brew in progress. The latter 3 being things I have a passion for (one should not infer a dislike of your foot and sneaker).

 

Poor owly. Dealing with an infection must be awful. Ive never had one as I'm a great brewer.

 

ftfy

I owe you beer as it is, but not until I make something worthy enough to grace your halls and be in the presence of crystal clear pristine lagers :rockin:

 

Sorry not trying to spam or flood the place with junk, just wanted to bump this for anyone that might be on their lunch break and not keeping up.

 

Just when I thought I was gonna be productive today...

 

Wouldn't have expected to actually be entered, but to be fair, I did go through the trouble of getting a pic of the Ben Franklin bridge. Basically made your sig a reality

 

Left foot. Damn.

You owe nothing CADsnow. Gifts are gifts

Too kind mate. I think there is a blushing bitmoji thingy but I won't do that.

 

"Blushing is for plebians and other poor, undesirables" - Gavin

 

Most definitely. Too bad the next 3 nights will have my time spent in a hockey rink as my son tries out for travel hockey for next year.

I think it's almost time for lunch.

 

Time for hops, what a nice day View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1457372635.472932.jpg
I went there and sure to be deleted.

 

Spent the night puking my guts out. Still working and even logged in early for mandatory o/t. Washing some plain toast down with ginger ale in case I have to purge again so I'm not just dry heaving. Lovely Monday, eh friendly friends??
