OK and on a more serious side..... Today I will watch the Superbowl...! Yes, I know. In a way it's like watching the CL final. 99% of the people have no affiliation with the teams playing. It's just the thought that one day that their team will play and win there. In our case we've played many times and because of the time we have won they had to have another cup made for the ones coming behind. Superbowl is similar but the game itself has taken a backseat with the hype and bullshit that goes before it. A survey last year pointed out that more people will watch for the commercials. In fact this will be the one game this year that I will not fast forward over this totally trivial trash. I probably will FF over the half time show. It's not likely that I'm going to get a flash of a titty again. Funny people who let their kids watch shows of mass slaughter still complain about how the titty flash traumatized their poor children. I digress. I don't really care who wins. Bronco's or Panther's (WhoTF) comes up with and insists on using these childish names. Let's just say Denver vs Carolina. At least until they both move to LA. I suppose I have to choose one just to make it interesting. I claim the right however to switch teams at the half if I feel the need. It's East vs West so I guess Denver is farthest west. My team, for today, Yeah!!! Cooking shows have been getting more air time of late than have the Pointy Ball show. What fare to serve up with the game. From fire breathing buffalo wings ( I'm still not sure that buffalo can fly) to the chip and dips with brown guacamole that was made the day before. Besides I much prefer potato or if you're republican potatoe, over mid western corn and my choice of dip is an artichoke heart mix from our local store. Just to be different (I know) I'm making a batch of Engerlish style sausage rolls. These do go fast. Like my last batch. So..... Have a fun day and hope for minimal brain damage. On the field that is.
I always go to the gym during the SuperBowl. I have the place all to myself. And I put the Puppy Bowl on all the TVs.
I was into that until Puppy Bowl VII http://www.theonion.com/article/puppy-bowl-marred-by-tragic-spinal-injury-19078 And then Puppy Bowl IX... http://www.theonion.com/article/puppy-bowl-overshadowed-by-leagues-rampant-heartwo-37908
Ok...where are we? I had the Chef fashion some Mortadella, Genoa, and Provolone into little wing shapes and the Maid peel and feed me grapes. I took a 2 hr nap and am now going from the Laverne & Shirley Marathon to the Make Room For Daddy one. Uncle Tonoose always cracked me up. Is the air still in the ball?
When I left the gym all the TVs were tuned into the Puppy Bowl. And all the remotes were hidden. It was a great success!
I just remembered that I have a tape of the '05 CL Final. One of, if not, the finest comebacks ever. Down 3-0 at half against a good AC Milan, Pool kept me on the edge of my chair til the very end.
Couple of ads freaked out some fans. One as a baby in the womb snapping at Doritos. One comment: I'll never eat Doritos again Then the freaky puppy monkey baby hybrid. I still don't know what company the ad was for. A mixture of Mountain Dew with extra caffeine and juice. Ah yeah. Quick Start. No great ads. No great football. I "might" have just wasted 5 hours of my life.
