lagilmanThere are few thing as bitter as Giants fans watching the Superbowl...
Fortunately, this also allows us to enjoy every play; the good, the bad and the ooops.
We have some non-football people here who wondered if the rain would call the game. Once the laughter died down, we started discussing the various and sundry snow bowls of yore.
(This is also my first experience with a Superbowl on DVR. Very weird, not having real time viewing. But useful when stopping for wings and chili....)
Best commercial so far: the "connectile dysfunction" ad for Sprint is winning the poll... (although I like all the diet coke ones so far). ETA: okay, the Budweiser crabs are now winning (with honorable metion to the Blockbuster 'mousing' ad, which was horribly brilliant).
Halftime show decisions: the only instrument actualy plugged in on that stage was the tambourine. Prince is the gayest straight man ever (there is some debate if he is actually human. The fact that his voice can make pigeons go 'whaaaa?" is entered as evidence). And WTF with the Mets fan colors? Prince should be wearing lace and black, 'k? And the dancers probably were supposed to be a little more energetic, but they took a look at their heels, then took at the wet stage, and said "nuh-uh."
(and across the nation, the water levels go down with one massive wave of "fluuussssssh.")
"Australian rules football there for a minute."
on the facemask call: "was it HD, or was that really obvious?" It was really obvious. Dude, at least try to be subtle when you grab!
"I wonder what this game would have been like it if wasn't raining."
"Dryer."
"THANK you."
