 Every day is a drinking holiday in Buffalo. Naming the day just provides accepted reason to get absolutely pissed in public 


 

 


If I remember correctly, there are more bars per capita in Buffalo than anywhere in the U.S.  Why?  Because there is nothing to do in Buffalo but drink.


If one had to constantly watch/root for the Sabres and Bills, I can see how that would lead to the need of around-the-clock drinking.

Also what the mother fuck.  Explain this Pete:

 


Buffalo
The world's largest organized Dyngus Day celebration occurs in Buffalo, New York. In Buffalo's eastern suburbs and the city's Historic Polonia District, Dyngus Day is celebrated with a high level of enthusiasm. Although Dyngus Day was celebrated in traditional Polish neighborhoods of Buffalo dating back to the 1870s, modern Dyngus Day in Buffalo had its start with the Chopin Singing Society. Judge Ann T. Mikoll and her late husband Theodore V. Mikoll held the first party at the Society's clubrooms in the Buffalo Central Terminal. The Society left the East Side in the 1980s and moved to new clubrooms in nearby Cheektowaga, where the festival attracted a new generation of revelers. In recent years, the focus of Buffalo's Dyngus Day celebration has returned to the Historic Polonia District in the form of large parties at the Buffalo Central Terminal, St. Stanislaus - Bishop & Martyr Church, the Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle, and at many family-owned Polish taverns. The World's First Dingus Day Parade, inaugurated in 2006, makes its way through the Polonia District from the Broadway Market to Buffalo Central Terminal. In 2008, the parade attracted more than 25,000 people.[9] In 2012, it was reported that more than 50,000 revelers attended Dyngus Day events.[10]

In 2006, two-time Grammy Award nominated Polka band Jerry Darlak & the Touch recorded the "Everybody's Polish on Dyngus Day" polka. "The polka is meant to capture the uniqueness of the Buffalo Dingus Day celebration," explained the song's composer, Ray Barsukiewicz. Lyrics include references to pussy willows, the sprinkling of water, polka dancing and parties that last until daylight. That same year, Lenny Gomulka and the Chicago Push released the "Dingus Day in Buffalo Polka" to recognize Buffalo's time-honored traditions. Gomulka is regarded as one of the nation's premiere polka stars, having been nominated for 11 Grammy Awards.

In 2007, the world's oldest working fireboat, the Edward M. Cotter, received the honor of being named the "World's Largest Dyngus Day Squirt Gun". "This could explains [sic] why the Cotter is painted red & white," said Marty Biniasz, alluding to the colors of the Polish flag and the Cotter's current livery. "It's only right that The Dyngus Day Capital of the World should have the World's Largest Squirt Gun. We are proud to now make Buffalo's most-loved ship part of our Dyngus Day Buffalo tradition."



 

Smingus Dingus is the name for Easter Monday in Poland and the diaspora. All countries practice a unique custom on this day. In Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic[3] traditionally, early in the morning boys awake girls by pouring a bucket of water on their head and striking them about the legs with long thin twigs or switches made from willow, birch or decorated tree branches. Another related custom, unique to Poland, is that of sprinkling bowls (garce) of ashes on people (starts men on women) or houses, celebrated a few weeks earlier at the "półpoście." This custom is almost forgotten, but still practices in the area around the borders of Mazuria and Masovia.

 

I remember growing up in Eastern Europe and all the teens would drop buckets full of water on passers by from apartment windows - especially young girls. Its one of those days to have a bit of fun once the traditional Easter days are over. You might think this is an odd custom but the same could be said of Europeans thinking Aussies are a little weird too- "People enjoy outdoor sporting events, such as the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival in South Australia, Australian Three Peaks Race in Tasmania as well as the Stawell Gift." Racing Carnivals during Easter? WTF?!


Eastern Europe eh?

I actually did order one during the public sale, but not for me.  I think it was #1, but I'd have to check.  I have a buddy who is travelling and wanted one (despite my advice).  I haven't gotten anything after the initial confirmation email that came right after I ordered it.  Never checked the credit card.  I'll post on here when the status changes.  I am interested in seeing it personally, but have no interest in owning one.


Was there an indication of shipping time once the order was put in? Should be something between three to six weeks, depending on international or not, right?

I imagine that if you have an order confirmation, then there's a very good chance the order has gone through.

The Tool merch guys are notoriously slow at responding to emails sent to them, which is sad, and this situation doesn't surprise me.  Patience may be required here though, as I expect they are getting quite a few emails at the moment.

Just checked the status of my order (purchased #5 durring public sale) seems it is still processing but cannot do anything to my order because "it has shipped or in the last stages of processing",charge has not hit my account yet. Have not gotten a shipment email just initial sale invoice day of purchase. I'm not having the issues started earlier from others about the item not showing up. I did pay for the express delivery which is probably a joke now, I will post more updates from the public sell regarding what I'm seeing if nobody beats me to it. Regardless I'm not worried, just being patient.

Your situation scares me Bogart as it is almost identical to my own. I received an order confirmation that had just a shipping charge for $7 on it, though the order receipt shows the correct order total of $159 and change. I have yet to hear from them asking about what the order was for so hopefully I won't run into the same problems as you. Maybe it has something to do with the time you placed the order. Did you buy during the pre-sale or during the public? I bought a series 5 during the presale when they came back on sale after selling out earlier in the day.

 

And to anyone interested my order that was, again, placed during the presale has not shipped. So I wouldn't hold my breath if you bought during the public.


 

I bought mine during the Toolarmy presale. I received 2 emails after I made the purchase; one had just the shipping cost on it, the other had the shipping plus the cost of the EP. My order history on TA just shows shipping; it doesn't say anything about the EP. Another interesting note was my bank account showed the purchase after my order; now it is not displayed at all.

I hope you're right hellboy. I guess one thing that worries me is it seems that everyone that ordered from the Toolarmy presale got a confirmation email that their order has shipped; I of course haven't received anything. I would hope mine hasn't went to someone else and they are able to see I made the purchase during the presale.

How do you check the status of the order?

My credit card hasn't been charged yet. I have a confirmation letter and number though.

Oh well...they did say "six to eight weeks".

You must have ordered during slow times.  When they have something major like this, it takes awhile.  Hell, when I joined TA it took six damn months for my membership kit to arrive.  I had long forgotten about the money at that point.

"membership kit"?? oh do tell, what was included. was it handcrafted by pagan elf warriors like the Opiate Re-issue? I'm just busting balls, but really..what was in the kit......

I won't be forgetting about $150. I just hope it gets resolved sometime soon; at least a reply back to my multiple emails to ensure I'm getting the EP.

I don't even know that I should recount what happened when I first joined. Haha. As others have said, they're a very small organization. Too small for such a big band, probably. But if it's that or some horribly corporate bunch of bullshit, I'd take this I suppose.

 

They really do their best though to make it work and they're nice people.
