HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

Of course it's gay, BSlim, that's why I watch it. Hot sweaty guys rubbing up on each other? Yes please!

That said, I could care less about the teams in this game. And with all the talk of lamer commercials because businesses don't want to be seen as 'cavalier' with their money during the recession, there really doesn't seem to be any point in getting excited about this. Except for the guacamole. Mmmmm....guacamole.

Mmm, quiche sounds good.

Um... go Cardinals. Cause... why not?

Because you mentioned the terror that is guacamole, I will say to you and everyone:

It's "couldn't".

Fuck, your right, Jay. Excuse me while I got poke my eyes out.

Gabs, quiches are especially good when you have farm fresh leeks and shallots and delicious turkey bacon and you know how to make a roux.

mmmmmm quiches mmmmmmm

Man, Estelle, you've got me stuck on quiche. I'm giving some serious thinkin' to running to the store and getting some. Which isn't a Good Plan, since I'm in the process of moving to a smaller place, so I need to be minimizing what I have, not adding...

Uh oh, were you taking Patton Oswalt's suggestion?

Oh, is there a football game today? Huh.

Is it just me, or do the ads suck so far? The Doritos ones have been mildly funny, the Clydesdales have been predictably adorable, and Pepsi offended me by equating Joliet Jake Blues with Jack Black.

GO STEELERS!!

I made brownies instead. I still want quiche, but not enough to make a 45 minute round-trip just for that. Ah well.

Why don't they get real Global Superstars to preform at the Half time show, Bruce Springsteen? They should get a real band... like the Wiggles!

Good evening,

Yes, Gabs, the quiche was delicious (as predicted), but your brownies sound like a good night ender. Where do you live? Does SEPTA go there, 'cause I've tokens and time, tokens and time, baby. And I'll bring quiche remains.

(South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority -- or Attempt, depending on the day)

PS - pandora has decided that I need to listen to George Michael and Elton John sing "Dont let the sun go down on me." This always makes me laugh in a 5th grader way...two gays dudes talkin' 'bout the sun (or Son?) go down on them...aahahahahahah (I think that's the quiche laughing)

ahh, 60 minute IPA from Dogfish is the bomb-diggydy, dog!

Super Bowl snoozer bowl...History International is pulling a "The Wehrmacht" all nighter.

"watch as the elite units of Hitler's army march all up and down Europe's ass.."

I liked the part where we got a face full of Bruce Springsteen's crotch.

Also, has anyone else noticed there's always a girl in the audience wearing a red top with huge tits? Started noticing it last year with Tom Petty because she seemed so out of place at a Heartbreakers concert.

Also, Glory Days is a weird song to play at the Super Bowl.

Holy God that last play! My dog is happy. She's dressed up in her Steelers gear and any time they make a TD, she gets a treat. :)

(I just needed to clarify that I don't normally dress my dog. Special Occasions. And she's wearing an old t shirt...my pittie doesn't have a wardrobe.)

AvB - Springsteen is Dutch, Irish, and Italian, as per Wikipedia. (I also ran it by my husband, a full member of The Tribe, and he says Bruce is not one of The Chosen People.)

Perhaps the faux-hubby is thinking about Bruce Springstein, a favorite at New Jersey bar mitzvahs. ;)

You want dull? Read "The Fall of Berlin 1945"

"The next day, the Red Army killed a buncha Germans. The next day, the Red Army killed a buncha Germans. The next day..."

Jesus, I couldn't even finish it.

"An Army At Dawn", that's the shit right there. Monty, George and that magnificent bastard who wrote a book. Damn right I took a picture of Monty's tank at the Imperial War Museum.

And again, "Enemy at the Gates" is totally underrated!! Stukas over Stalingrad! That's fuckin drama.

For the record, I've got a friend in Pittsburgh and don't currently know anyone in Arizona, let alone St. Louis, so I guess I'm backing the Steelers.

why are people interested in talking about such thing even though these are fake things? you may come to join the free rider cupid site called ~~~~~~~~~riercupid.com~~~~~~~the best riding place, come to share your hobby and interest with us

sorry, its ridercupid.com

So, the spambots are spelling their own stuff wrong now? Brills.

P.S. I remain generally unmoved by the commercials. The Heroes one was kind of funny. Perhaps it's because I've grown to believe that commercial advertising is the root of all evil...

What the what? Inside the submarine?!? I didn't see any shit like that nine years ago! Hmmmm. Nevertheless I was silently plotzing by myself standing in front of a Spitfire, having read about them for nearly twenty years. Oh it might've even been better than when HMS Ark Royal visited Port Everglades. It was only free the last two hours they were open each day so I went two days in a row after 4.

I did like the sorta life-size trench diorama thing. Using black and white film and only available light the mannequins look real in my pictures.

I didn't go to the cabinet rooms but I did visit the "Britain at War Experience" alongside a bunch of blazered schoolboys, which made it that much more vivid.

I'm a little full but if a quiche is cheesy and porky enough there's always a little room.

And have I mentioned here how cozy "The Hunt for Red October" is? People get emotional but they're not screaming at each other (Scott Glenn, Richard Jordan and James Earl Jones are all rather pleasant to listen to), whenever the camera is outside of a submarine it's overcast or raining, it's like those days where you need to turn on a lamp in the daylight and there's no real sense of what time it is, or that time's passing. Just floating in the dim light. Ahhhh.

Well, Empress, McTiernan did make a softly-lit film-grainy movie to begin with, so it doesn't POP, but it's still an improvement, sounds great, and almost no one sells these things at list price.

Ha! Looks like Warner was finally able to get past Jesus' call waiting.

Damn, that close it's interesting whoever's playing and I had to look. Nicely done.

Most. Exciting. Game. EVER. Yeah Steelers!

Empress of All the Russias, wasn't that commercial adorable? I loved when the guy's like 'is he coming after me?' and Polamalu just slams into him.

What the fuck NBC? I already saw the post game show, I don't need to see this local shit. Quit delaying the office and play that shit!

Oh--it was a nice surprise to see The Statham, but I can't say the commercial he was in was all that entertaining otherwise. Cash that check, Jason baby.

On behalf of the North American Advertising League, I'd like to thank you all for watching tonight's Annual Advertising Showcase 2009. With the recent recession, we all fell on hard times. There were 45% less scantily clad women, 100% less Pumpkin fucking, and 2000% less Jason Alexander with a Bag of Pretzels. Nevertheless, we persevered and we proceeded to produce some decent product on a decent budget.

I'd like to congratulate Hulu for making all of the night's ads available for instant replay. Some of these ads, while entertaining, clearly exceeded league guidelines. (Alec Baldwin was only supposed to have ONE tentacle, unless he was reclassified as a Classification 4 Sentient Humanoid with Tenticular Appendages. Sorry people, but there are rules and they must be followed.)

I'd also like to congratulate our MVP: Dreamworks for their 3D Monsters Vs. Aliens ad. I'll be at the IMAX theater with my glasses on come March! However, I must shake my head at GoDaddy.com, because they continue to play the Super Bowl Cocktease card, and it's about as tantalizing as your mom. (Trust me, she's not all that tantalizing. She barely passes boner muster.)

Other than that, it was a well played evening, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you all next year!

Mike R.
Commissioner, North American Advertising League

mmmmmmmmm 60 Min. IPA mmmmmmmmmm ...

Three weeks till pitchers and catchers report.

Dear Steelers,

Thank you for winning. My college career would not have been complete had I not witnessed several fellow students, completely obliterated, tear apart a bus shelter piece by piece. Or the others who climbed street lights to rip them down - in shifts, so that the cops never targeted a single individual. The classmates who now have license plates they will treasure the remainder of their college careers. The cars overturned. It almost made this city worthwhile.

You made it a six pack.

Love,
me

ps, thanks, also, for an excuse to start drinking at 2 in the afternoon. we appreciated that most of all.

Didn't we just have a Superbowl last year? People and their hobbies, I swear.

Adding "power slide malfunction" to the lexicon.

Hi people... :)
