Patriots fans on suicide watch notwithstanding, this was the BEST S**** B*** game I’ve seen in my lifetime. I do not care that my prediction on the game was wrong; most people in this country seemed tired of Patriots dominance and are glad of the result.
Tonight I went to a S**** B*** party, where everyone was rooting for the Giants. For the longest time, I was worried that the worst possible result would occur: the Patriots would win by 11 or fewer points, meaning the Mascot was right about the game’s spread AND his original pick of the Patriots winning it all. But the Giants’ stifling defense (no way Eli was the game’s MVP) pressured Brady all night, limiting the Pats’ record-breaking offense to 14 points.
So mucho congrats to the New York Football Giants; after winning 3 road playoff games and knocking off the 18-0 juggernaut, they’ve more than proved themselves to be worthy champions. After some discussion, we believe that Giants management is satisfied with coach Tom Coughlin’s job performance and will allow him to keep his job.
Most of the commercials were insipid or mediocre. Bud Light’s first commercial with the firebreathing was a complete ripoff of the Sonic commercials, and not even as well done.
My favorite was the one with Shaq as a horse hockey jockey, which was senselessly hilarious. He won because of Vitamin Water, or something like that.
I fully expect the Mascot’s favorite was the Life Water one, with the dancing lizards and, most importantly, a hot dancing chick (he’s busy right now on GoDaddy looking for the “viewer discretion advised” ad they couldn’t show on TV).
Tonight, I smoked for the first time. It was with something called a hookah (see picture), and the stuff I smoked was apparently some concoction consisting mostly of molasses, with some flavoring and other random stuff including a bit of tobacco. When I smoked too fast, I got dizzy, but mostly it didn’t seem to have much effect. It’s the kind of thing I’ll do to show willingness to be social, but not go out of the way to look for.
WOOOOOOO! Pats lost! 🙂
i seen those in guatemala, we went to a turkish/arabian/some kind of middle east restaurant and they were on each table. Not sure what the attraction is, but I declined and forbade carlos to try it too since there were tobacco components.
That was some crazy shiznit tonight. What a catch! And I don’t even know squat about football!
G-Men! Gotta love that finish. I figured for sure they would cover the spread but I was hoping they would win. True that the defense was the MVP but you can’t really give that to an entire defense.
I’ve smoked a lot of hookah, I think I started in Israel but it’s getting really popular and I pretty much see it a lot. It definitely is mostly tobacco though (although I’ve smoked non-tobacco sheesha but it was awful).
The ETrade baby commercial was my favorite of the night.
Also I don’t know if you were aware of this but KFC made a challenge to the players of the Super Bowl, I read about it last week so I was wondering if someone would take them up on it. (No one did.)
Which one of the baby commercials? My favorite commercial was the one where he underestimated the creepiness of renting a clown. I think the previous one was better for them in terms of making money though. IMHO either that one or the one with the car, talking about giving classic style or some such thing its notice, will make the biggest positive difference in terms of making money among the products or services advertised.
The Iron Man thing was cool, I only caught the last bit of it, but it would have made a lot anyway. Has anyone else seen the original preview for it? It is on the Transformers dvd and was last I checked on the iron man website, very cool. I hope they can make a descent “Flash” movie, but green lantern would be cool too. I’m irritated by the direction the next batman film is taking after its prequels coolness. Hmm, getting a bit off topic. Super hero movies are something I get real into.
I liked the 800 pound gorilla. I should put him on my blog the enext time I do a King Kong post. The mascot rocks!! He had it right again.
The online GoDaddy commercial was lame. Something about beavers.
Sniff sniff.
BTW… I never put molassses in my bong… and tobacco? It puzzles me. But then again I don’t have much recolection of those daze.
It was a great game of football, whoever won…if it was a movie, I would have said the ending was a little hard to believe.
AS far as smoking, I’m with Blunderprone–who brought out a stash that consisted mainly of molasses? I’m happy to say that I haven’t smoked anything but a couple of cigars over the last quite a few years, however, if we go back to Super Bowls numbered in the low 30s…
Eww, I’m not a smoking fan. Er, fan of smoking.
Same pragmatic approach you take toward some enviro issues – regardless of what the latest studies say, common sense tells me sucking burnt residue into my lungs is not gonna be good in the long run.
Oh – Donnie – gotta wrap up the prenup. Can I run whatever bio for you I so choose? My suggestion is in your dusty email box…

@Derek&Donnie: The prenup is great!
Looks like it’ll be easier to respond to topic rather than person:
Re: commercials. Did not hear about the KFC hot wings, but that was just a lame-o attempt. I didn’t hear the commercials l3ruce mentioned because everyone else was talking too loudly.
Re: hookah. My friend claimed the concoction was “1% tobacco and mostly molasses”, but this was probably distorted facts so that I’d try it. Agreed that common sense indicates it’s not that healthy. No withdrawl effects.
Re: prenup. Sorry, Derek, about my poor e-mail checking skills. The bio was good, but probably I’ll read the suggestion in your e-mail and say it was better.
I was scared that the assembly code would be screwy. Derek wrote the BASIC code, and did admirably for a non-programmer.
Which reminds me of the time IM Rizzitano said to me with great earnestness: “No really, you played great for a class A player.”
