It is not how the lake effects snow; but rather how the lake affects snow...

I was having fun posting on FlyerTalk ever since I first joined back in 2002 — long before I became a moderator; and long before there was an OMNI/Games forum.

One look at this discussion shows just how much fun we were having at one point amidst controversy and adversity...

I think it means that being trapped inside by lake effect snow for days on end made Dovster very hungry, and hence extremely aware of sandwiches, i.e. sub-conscious, but not sure why that would cause one to move to Israel. Can you even make a decent sandwich with matzoh?

I believe that all of the sand which is there in Israel counters your argument for how the lake affects both snow and the Dovster.

Wouldn't it be easier to just shorten this to ILABSOBWIWIMT ITTLESCMASTTECTMTI?

Are there many occult practitioners on the beaches of Israel? Otherwise I do not understand why you are bringing up sand witches in response to my remarks.

Anyway this talk about sandwiches is making me hungry. I don't like Subway, and I could not find a mobile app for ordering hoagies, but this "Grindr" looks promising.

p.s. this is my 500th FT post, which makes me a FlyerTalk Posting Centi-Legend!

If you lived a bit south of Buffalo, does that mean you are familiar with a buffalo's southern regions?

I thought it was a bunch of Roman numerals.

The Lounge™ may be about to buff a low — perhaps even buff a new low — with what is becoming the most quoted content on FlyerTalk.

Are you certain that it wasn't a subcutaneous trauma?

It could have caused the itch to move.

I didn't realize until looking just now at Google Maps that there is a Boston, NY south of Buffalo. Were you between Boston and Buffalo, maybe north of Boston but south of North Boston?

I fear we may be scraping the bottom of the barrel in Buffalo, and in danger of plunging that barrel over Niagara Falls.

Your post reminded of a post in another thread:

You must be good friends with Canarsie considering that he makes some rather confusing posts.
