Teufel off to Buffalo

[Benjamin Grimm]

Associated Press wrote: BUFFALO, N.Y. � Tim Teufel is working his way up the New York Mets organization after being hired to manage the Buffalo Bisons, their Triple-A affiliate. Teufel has seven years experience managing in the minors, and had a 66-76 record in his first season at Double-A Binghamton last year. He takes over for Ken Oberkfell, who was promoted this offseason to be part of Terry Collins staff in New York. Teufel was a member of the 1986 World Series-champion Mets. He has a 403-480 record in the minors, and broke into coaching in 2003 by managing Brooklyn of the New York-Penn League. The Bisons also announced Friday that Ricky Bones will return as their pitching coach. Mike Easler has been hired as hitting coach.

Good for him, just curious. What kind of wages would a guy like TT get for that gig.

Now that's a headline.

Thread title of the year.

Great thread head.

We can just use random alphanumeric characters to title our posts from here on out. Perfection has been achieved.

I'm blushing!

Grab yourself some Unger Gum. You've earned it.

Um , I am not getting the reference.......I'm not cool I guess.

Shuffle off to Buffalo

Now that we have had the rice and flowers
The knot is tied
I can visu'lize such happy hours
Close by your side
The honeymoon in store
Is one that you'll adore
I'm gonna take you for a ride

I'll go home and get my panties
You go home and get your scanties
And away we'll go
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Off we're gonna shuffle
Shuffle off to Buffalo

To Niag'ra in a sleeper
There's no honeymoon that's cheaper
And the train goes slow
Ooh-ooh- ooh
Off, we're gonna shuffle
Shuffle off to Buffalo

Someday, the stork may pay a visit
And leave a little souvenir
Just a little cute "what is it"
But we'll discuss that later, Dear
For a little silver quarter
We can have the Pullman porter
Turn the lights down low
Ooh!
Off we're gonna shuffle
Shuffle off to Buffalo

I am almost certain getting this take on the reference is what makes one not cool.

To say nothing of those who disseminate it in the first place.

I only get it because my father used the phrase a lot when I was packing to go to college in Buffalo.

How long did that take to quit being charming?

I'm surprised to learn that the song is about having sex on a train. (Or, more accurately, about preparing to have sex on a train.)

He had the Teamsters wearing hair nets.

Back in the day, that was not done.
