Thoughts?
It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I watch hockey almost constantly. I feel like this entry was a long time coming.
Here’s a look at the typical Erie Otters jersey.
Not too bad. Nothing outstanding, but that’s what makes a jersey good. Simplicity. I’m also a fan of their 2003 sweaters:
Perfectly plain. I don’t want to watch a bunch of dudes skating around in extravagant clothing while I’m trying to watch hockey. Kind of a given.
What human being, or group of human beings looked at the following jersey and thought it was a good idea?
This shebackle is from a few months back. I can’t find any pictures of them actually wearing them, because I’m pretty sure they burned them.
What the hell? Baby vomit.Doesn’t stick to color scheme. Weird gradients and swooshes all over the place. I have no idea. I’m speechless. I don’t need to rip into the jersey because for Christ’s sake just look at it.
I assume when the players put them on it was this:
After they wore them they went on to lose a million games, or something. I don’t have access to watch the games where I’m located, so whatever.
It’s not hard to find articles on the worst hockey jerseys ever. Take a look at this one or this one and tell me that these Otter sweaters aren’t significantly worse than all of them. Oof.
Happy new year and merry christmas and all that.
Not much of a story here. But you can imagine this photoshop I did who knows when to be Jeremy Brown laying the law down on him. (Pogue for backup)

Content is a little dated.
What cost $1500 in 1910 would cost $34653.95 in 2010.
Time to man up and learn about hay.
In South Dakota, hay prices were steady to $21.60 higher. Contacts report an increased volume of inquiries as well as how high will the forage products get. Out of state movement continues to be a factor. In Southwest Minnesota, hay prices were $5.85 higher, with good sales activity.
Not too bad. But in some areas it’s 50+? And there’s different qualities of hay? I thought it was just shitty grass in a pile or something. Count on YourBoro for your latest Hay information.

Current cost of a piano?
9,000 fucking dollars. But that looks like a nice goddamn QUALITY piano. I can only imagine how shitty Vose Pianos were. But I can’t say for sure. If you had a Vose Piano, please let me know about your experience.

Bruce Leveto purchased the diner for $385,650. He was the only person to bid on it, according to the Erie County Sheriff’s Office.
…
“From what I understand, (Leveto) wants to hold onto the property for now and then maybe look to lease it to someone to take it over as a diner or restaurant,” Lucas said.
This news is something like a month old.
In more recent news that nobody cares about:
http://www.goerie.com/article/20111206/NEWS02/312069895/Edinboro-police-seek-man-who-passed-phony-$100-bill
Borough police are looking for a man accused of passing a counterfeit $100 bill at a gas station in late November.
Police said the unidentified man used the phony bill to buy a $50 gas card at the Country Fair store on East Plum Street on Nov. 28 at about 9 p.m.
The man was described as a white male in his late teens or early 20s, 5 feet 10 to 5 feet 11 inches tall. He was driving a silver compact car.
I feel like this post is lacking, so the rest of this post will be an update on wrestling legend Ultimate Warrior.
This is what he used to be. Getting ready to send you to the principals office and call your parents. Doesn’t even look like a human being.
This is what he is now.
For more fun, here’s his unreal blog.
A lot of young guys write telling me they want be in the business or be like Ultimate Warrior, live like me, look like me, think and act like me. Last week I even had a guy tell me it was my responsibility to find a replacement Ultimate Warrior, train him and put him in the business. You believe that shit? When that kind of stuff comes into my email box the comedy of it allows me to forgo stomach work for the day because of all the sustained, deep laughter. Anyway, Ultimate Warrior was great. He was One-of-a-Kind. I know what the fuck I achieved.
Totally insane.
Here’s a picture I found on Google images of some guy in the Dinor. He likes to goto Dinors, I guess. Here’s another picture of him at a different diner.
I’d like to begin this post by saying that I’ve probably only eaten at the Dinor twice. Once in 2005 when I was visiting Edinboro for the first time. I got bad food poisoning. And once again after the new owners took over. I didn’t get food poisoning, but the food was pretty bad.
That being said, I think we all agree the Dinor is pretty, and it would be cool if eating there was a pleasurable experience and didn’t make you shit your pants.
According to this news article the Dinor is going to be auctioned off and people are doubting that it’ll be a restaurant. It might be torn down.
Back in December I posted this.
“Crossroads Dinor, 101 W. Plum St., Edinboro. (Old food residue, dishes or utensils found in hand-washing sink at bar; soap not available at hand-washing sink at bar; no single-use towels at hand-washing sink at bar; raw chicken stored above container of pickles in basement cooler; black residue and pink slime found on interior of ice-machine bin; food debris built up on blade of can opener.) Also 9 noncritical violations. Wednesday.”
Guess after that nothing much happened with it. Except more health violations about a week later.
To Summarize:
- November 5th: 5 critical violations, 8 non-critical violations. Reinspected the next day, and 6 non-critical violations remained
- November 12th: 4 non-critical violations
- November 19th: violations corrected
- December 3rd: 2 noncritical violations, 4 non-critical violations
I’m boycotting North West PA if this Dinor is torn down, and I urge you to join me.
