Chicken wings in short supply in western N.Y. before Super Bowl
Western New York, the home of spicy "Buffalo wings," is suffering from a chicken wing shortage in the days before Super Bowl XLIII, according to U.S. news reports.
The Lockport Union-Sun & Journal, a daily newspaper that serves communities in Niagara County, reported Jan. 14 that the snack enjoyed by football fans is in short supply at bars and restaurants in parts of New York state.
Feb. 1 is Super Bowl Sunday this year.
The shortage is reportedly due to two unrelated developments: Texas-based Pilgrim's Pride, the largest chicken producer in the U.S., filed for bankruptcy protection in December; and demand is great at this time of year as the U.S. prepares for the NFL championship game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals.
Kickoff is set for 6:20 p.m. ET, wings or no wings.
Buffalo is said to be the chicken wing capital of the U.S.

Cant Wait To Hear It...and the remixes!
Metric's fourth LP, Fantasies, will be in stores April 14.
According to Rolling Stone, the band is handling its own distribution in all other parts of the world.
"We just said, 'Oh fuck it, let's gamble,' took a deep breath and decided to put this record out worldwide our own way," lead singer Emily Haines told Rolling Stone.
"We might go down in flames, or it might be the best move ever," guitarist and co-producer Jimmy Shaw said to the magazine. "Either way it will have been on our terms, and that for us is success."
As per reports from late last year, Haines wrote much of the album's 10 tracks in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
"When I came [to Buenos Aires] I actually had given up on writing, which I didn't tell anybody that I work with," Haines said in a video interview posted on the band's site late last year.

Dear Oprah
Dear Oprah. Please stop talking and analyzing your weight. You are an accomplised, smart, (some might say) sexy, old broad that should be smart enough to realize that by this point, you arnt a skinny chick. You are a big girl. Love yourself and your curves and keep on bringing me more self help books and enlightening episodes that I cling to for weeks on end. I cannot hear my leader ranting on about weight and loving myself in the same week. Im confused. Can I only love myself if Im skinny? Please dont say its true, because if you are, well you are Oprah and I will believe you.
I write this as I am eating a rice cake but seriously eyeing up a box of chocolates on the shelf. ahhh you betch!
IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER!
If you haven't seen this yet, smack yourself.
Its one of my all-time ultimate favs.
IMDB Description:
The owners (and handlers) of five show dogs head for the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. A film crew interviews them as they prepare for the trip, arrive at Philly's Taft Hotel, and compete. From Florida come the Flecks: she keeps running into old lovers. A wordless ancient in a wheelchair and his buxom trophy wife who may have a thing for the dog's handler own the two-time defending best in show, a poodle. From the piney woods of N.C. comes a fella who wants to be a ventriloquist. High-strung DINKs feud loudly in front of their Weimaraner. Two outré gay men from Tribeca round out the profiled owners. The dog show brings out the essence of the humans. Who will be best in show?

Sucks!
JANUARY 6--In a bizarre incident that will surely lead to litigation (or an out-of-court settlement), a skier at Colorado's ritzy Vail resort was left dangling upside down and pantsless from a chairlift last Thursday morning. The January 1 mishap apparently occurred after the male skier, 48, and a child boarded a high-speed lift in Vail's Blue Sky Basin. It appears that the chairlift's fold-down seat was somehow not in the lowered position, which caused the man to partially fall through the resulting gap. His right ski got jammed in the ascending chairlift, and that kept him upended since his boot never dislodged from its binding. As seen in the photos on the following pages (which were snapped by fellow skiers), the Skyline Express lift was stopped shortly after the pair's botched boarding resulted in the man dangling from the lift. The exposed skier was stuck for about 15 minutes before Vail personnel backed the lift up and successfully dislodged the unidentified man from the four-seat chair. In a statement released this afternoon, Vail Resorts, which operates the ski area, reported that the skier was not injured after being "suspended for approximately seven minutes."
On another note, Fernie has 2 more inches of snow then Vail. 2 is a lot these days...

Attention all people running across Highway 3:BEWARE! I am not slowing down for your asses anymore. Im done. If you'd like to test Darwin's Theory of "Survival of the Fittest", then you go right ahead, cuz Im the one in the SUV.
Crosswalks People! And whats with you drivers slowing down to let them run across? You're fucking up traffic behind you and the opposite way. Do you want to see someone fly through the air? Do you want our insurance rates to go up?
And for all of you that want to call me out for not being "welcoming and friendly" to our tourists right now...Heres the thing:When I travel to their countries and cities, I respect and abide by their laws. So why can't I as a Canadian and a resident of Fernie expect the same courtesy in return? This is one Canadian that will not take it up the ass from foreigners, I'll leave that to the Feds in Ottawa.

What Boys Need To Know...
Hmm, ok, how do I begin this one, ahem, cough cough, sooo...The ladies are looking for some slalom "skiing". We like to take our time and really explore what the terrain has to offer and how we can both benefit from nature. Nice cruisey turns and smooth lines, all the fruits of the experience.Slalom Slalom Slalom, nice turns, niiiiice turns.
But you boys need to realize that its not Slalom, Slalom, mogul mogul, MOGUL MOGUL - (drum roll) BIG FINISH!! -at least for the ladies.Ladies arnt into just that, and if you do the same run over and over, that routine gets reallllly monotonous and boring. And theres rarely a big finish for the lady - so dont count on her wanting to ski with you again, let alone ride the lift with you.
So next time, take your time, Slalom, Slalom, Slalom, Slalom. And the results will amaze ...wait for it, wait for it...There it is..a 1080 Iron Cross to Alley Oop Flatspin 540 to Backflip Mute Grab!!!
Try something new even, a cliff jump here and there, a 180 frontside boardside, perhaps some backcountry exploration - what ever you feel comfortable "skiing".
Ladies you are welcome, gentlemen I hope you feel enlightened, please tip your server generously.
sidenote: Even tho many women absolutely agree with this slalom approach, yes I agree, sometimes...sometimes! ladies just want a mogul run.and goodnight
