Just because he’s chronologically of age, that doesn’t it any less creepy. I present you with Super Chicken: methadone for the modern day pederast.

I just came across these awesome HD timelapse videos taken by an Ontario resident, of Niagara Falls and the Peace Bridge. I’ve driven past the Falls when it was all lit up, same as the Peace Bridge… and never gave either enough time to take in just how beautiful they are bathed in lights. Check out these time lapse videos after the jump, shot with a Nikon D90, and quit yer WNY whining for a second.

An old parking ramp collapsed this afternnon with someone stuck in it. Right now emergency responders are trying to enter in through the chimeney for a rescue attempt. #snap Here’s what happened:

(Via WGRZ) Buffalo, NY – A section of the first floor of the former Hertz Parking Garage at 75 West Huron gave way under the wieght of a 6,500 lb. piece of construction equipment, operated by a 46 year old male who sustained only minor injuries in the incident.

The equipment operator, however, spent approximately 90 minutes trapped before firefighters were able to safely extricate him.

The scene has been secured and is being examined by investigators from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is owned by Buffalo developer and restauranteur Mark Croce and is part of a proposed hotel and residential complex.

First off, the Mash Bash was nothing like it was last year (or the years before). The budget was severely hacked this go around and it showed. For 50 dollars, you get in with only 2 drink tickets. Sure, you can eat all the pizza, sausage dogs, and hot dogs in the world, but taking away the free beer just isn’t right. Things were different… there wasn’t the crazy rush for beer, the lines and frat boys (ok, me too) running with six cups of tepid Labatts every fifteen minutes…

Congratulations Tony on making the top 20 on So You Think You Can Dance!  Since the local news hasn’t yet caught on, I’m going to be focusing on Mr. Bellissimo as he makes his way through the competition. Hip-Hop dancers are always my favorite, and Tony’s hilarious style will bring tons of fun to this Season.

Here is his official bio from the SYTYCD blog:

Tony Bellissimo
Dance Specialty: Hip Hop
Hometown: Buffalo, NY
Currently Resides: Buffalo, NY
Age: 20

Bellissimo has been dancing for most of his life. He is a graduate of Frontier High School, and played on the school’s soccer, football and lacrosse teams. He likes to write short stories and poems, and his favorite professional dancer is Barry Lather.

Tony is also on twitter! Follow him up (@YnotBfunkY) and wish him luck!

thanks to everyone for your love! i wont let you down and hope you enjoy!! Tony- (via twitter)

I started watching So You Think You can Dance last season and was hooked. I don’t watch Idol, I could care less about who’s Got Talent, but SYTYCD manages to keep me interested. The boyfriend DVR’d it for me and even he was sucked in last night. This year, we have a local Buffalo boy in the competition, and he held his own in Vegas, despite having to “dance for his life.” We’ll find out tonight  if he makes it to the final 20.

His name is Tony Bellissimo, lives in Hamburg, and has been dancing since he was a little kid. He attended the Future Dance Center in Buffalo, and was instructed by Denise and Gino Vaccaro. He also belonged to Tremaine Performance Company for a year or so, and his specialty is Hip-Hop.

Tony has a lot of potential. He has a great body, he’s tall and lanky, and full of humor and personality. His solo piece in Las Vegas snagged the judges when his routine exposed various mugshots of Nigel Lythgoe to the tune of “Somebody’s Watching Me.”

Hip Hop dancers sometimes have trouble when it comes to Jazz and Contemporary but Tony breezed through most of it.  After a bit of gut-wrenching suspense from the Judges (not even SYTYCD is free from crafted commentary from the judges), Tony exploded in emotion and joined the top 32 after wiping his tears on Cat’s shoulders, who has a thing for boys with feelings (or is it boys she can feel up?). 12 people will be sent home tonight; I hope it isn’t Tony, I’d like to see this local boy make it.

The other thing that’s awesome about SYTYCD is that the music doesn’t suck, with routines set to Black Eyed Peas and the Ting Tings… it only gets better as the season progresses.

Last year, I used a now shutdown service called Red Lasso to display clips from the series. Since that went belly up, I’m still looking for a legalesque method of showing my favorite clips…

Bonus! – Check after the jump and see Tony make an appearance in “Pinch,” a local short film comedy making a tribute to Star Trek.

UPDATE:: Thursday night comes and goes, and Tony makes the Top 20!!!! Way to go Buffalo!!!

Buffalo, N.Y. – The 2nd annual Stiletto Run, hosted by Elmwood shoe store, ShoeFly and Celebrate Buffalo Inc., will take place on Wednesday, June 24 at 7:00 p.m. Registration starts at 5:30 p.m. A portion of the event proceeds to benefit The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. Pre-registration for the event is $25 or $30 on the day of the event.

The Stiletto Run welcomes all fun shoe wearers, whether you are a walker or a runner. In order to be eligible for placing prizes, runners must be registered and complete the race in a shoe with a minimum heel height of three inches. First, second, and third place prizes will be awarded to the first three to cross the finish line.

Sue Marfino, owner of ShoeFly/Clutch, started The Stiletto Run in 2008. This year Marfino partnered with Celebrate Buffalo owner, Adam Wilson to form The Stiletto Run LLC to help grow the event in 2009 and beyond. Marfino says, “The Stiletto Run brings people down to the Elmwood Village to support a great cause which affects thousands of women in the U.S. each year [ovarian cancer]. The event also separates itself from the rest – it’s not every day that you get to see both men and women running a race in high heels!”

According to The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance’s website, “Each year, approximately 20,000 American women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and about 15,000 women die of the disease. In 2008, it is estimated that 21,650 women in the United States will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 15,520 women will die from the disease.”

The race starts at the corner of Bidwell Avenue and Elmwood Avenue and ends in front of ShoeFly and Delish Bakery on Elmwood. The race is limited to 300 runners/walkers, however, onlookers are invited to cheer on participants and join in the after-party for great food, music and drinks provided by Elmwood Avenue vendors.

Several stores and restaurants between the Auburn and Lafayette block of Elmwood will also be staying up late and giving 10% of their sales to Ovarian Cancer cause along with all funds donated online.

For additional information about The Stiletto Run, participating store locations, or to register, visit www.stilettorun.org or stop by ShoeFly at 801 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY. Donations are also accepted through the website. Volunteers for the event are also needed, if interested e-mail, shoeflyny@verizon.net.

E-tards: the lovable sweaty, twitchy messes that pop pills and proceed to give the public a show. A telltale sign of an E-tard is the unconscious desire to grind one’s teeth to the roots, random giddiness, and generally being a hot pole mess. Exhibit A is below…

Bonus!!!! – Check out the hot mess underwear contest after the jump! NSFW if you can’t watch a bunch of gay and questionably straight guys strip down to their skivvies.
