I learned the weird truth from a food documentary on TV. Some little chicken restaurant in Buffalo was once invaded near the end of the day by a large group of customers, all demanding chicken. All they had left were the useless chicken wings. The chef whipped together some special spices that would make anything taste good, put it on the wings, and fed them to the crowd, claiming that this was the restaurant's specialty. That lie became the truth when the people came back for more and brought friends. Then other restaurants in Buffalo started copying the recipe, and the city of Buffalo became known for it's unique use of chicken wings. The wings became known as "Buffalo Wings." Nothing whatever to do with bison.dkotschessaa said:For years I had no idea either. Until just now when I read this.
Awwww! I thought a Buffalo could really fly:L...zoobyshoe said:I learned the weird truth from a food documentary on TV.

For more food trivia, you'd do well to read up on the invention of the potato chip. Same thing: specific restaurant, funny reason.collinsmark said:It wasn't until a night at pub trivia not too terribly long ago that I put the two and two together in my mind...
Potato chip history is awesome! :wzoobyshoe said:For more food trivia, you'd do well to read up on the invention of the potato chip. Same thing: specific restaurant, funny reason.
You ought to order a case of Irn-Bru from Scotland to go with.collinsmark said:Potato chip history is awesome! :w
Years ago (a decade and a half ago?) I used to get Tayto crisps (the original flavored potato "chips") shipped over from Ireland. Yes, it's kind of over-the-top having potato crisp/chips shipped across ocean and continent, but Tayto's are so delicious. :)

An extremely compelling story. It's the marriage everyone dreams of: lasts into old age with life ending for both at pretty much the same time.Astronuc said:English ‘soulmates’ die just 10 minutes apart after lifetime of love

No I have a facebook account, and I am glad it was just a fantasy.

Yeah. :( I can see it helping some people if they forget who the OP is in a long homework thread or maybe some other important discussions where they need to know who started the thread without clicking on the first post to check, but in the lounge, it's not really needed. I mean, who jumps into the end of a long thread on a single topic about something important without checking out the OP and reading at least some of the posts first? (ok, a lot of people)Borg said:So this is what you get when you start a new thread? oo)

It just bothers me every time I see it on someone's avatar, I'm sure I will get over it in a year or two. :)RonL said:Just get over it...you look fantastic in burnt orange:w:D
The only one that has had an affect on me is Monique's avatar, she has such a beautiful eye, (I just accept the thought that it is her real eye) the banner is just too close to the blue.Evo said:It just bothers me every time I see it on someone's avatar, I'm sure I will get over it in a year or two. :)
I guess you didn't notice that her previous avatar had a green eye with green eye shadow surrounding it.RonL said:The only one that has had an affect on me is Monique's avatar, she has such a beautiful eye, (I just accept the thought that it is her real eye) the banner is just too close to the blue.
As for the banner, it is so much help, maybe something as simple as a big star.:)
No, I guess that was during my hiatus from PF:)Evo said:I guess you didn't notice that her previous avatar had a green eye.
Ah, I see now. I thought that it was permanent for all pages like some sort of Thread Starter badge. Thankfully, it's just for that thread. Our avatars are getting more and more crowded with green online status, post counts and now this covering them.Evo said:Yeah. :( I can see it helping some people if they forget who the OP is in a long homework thread or maybe some other important discussions where they need to know who started the thread without clicking on the first post to check, but in the lounge, it's not really needed.
