Mad

Well, the Super Bowl is finally here (after 2 weeks of the media insisting on making everything involving the Eagles about Terrell Owens playing; they did just fine without him). Who's excited? I know I am. I'm rooting for the Eagles (my favorite team from back in the 1970s), but the Patriots look very tough. I'm thinking it's going to be either the Eagles winning a close game, or the Pats blowing the Eagles out.

I'll also be keeping track of the commercials like I did last year (last year I posted a poll as to the funniest commercial; I'll probably do that again this year). However, some of the good ones (i.e. making fun of "wardrobe malfunctions") got axed. However, one of them did slip through (for one of the dotcoms). Also, they nixed one involving a priest lusting after a truck after doing a sermon on lust (with all of the scandals, they decided that was in poor taste). My answer to both is to quote Bill Cosby: "if you can find humor in something, you can overcome it." However, there are always those that get offended easily, and are vocal enough to make a stink about it.

Since today is the big day, I just thought I would start a thread and see what people had to say about the big game, the commercials, the half-time entertainment (also neutered like the commercials this year, IMHO), etc.

Who knows, maybe Ashlee Simpson will make a surprise appearance and sing... (joking!!!)

I wonder if Bill can find any humor in him being accused of sexual assault. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

LOL...I guess he better find some humor in it, or the only laugh to be had will be from his cellmate!

Brad finally decides to take a vacation. He books himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeds to have the time of his life - until the boat sank.

He found himself swept up on the shore of an island with no other people, no supplies... Nothing. Only bananas and coconuts.

After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to him. In disbelief, he asks her, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" "I rowed over from the other side of the island," she says. "I landed here when my cruise ship sank." "Amazing," he says. "You were really lucky to have a rowboat wash up with you.

"Oh, this?" replies the woman. "I made the rowboat out of raw material found on the island. I whittled the oars from gum tree branches, I wove the bottom from palm branches, and and the sides and stern came from Eucalyptus tree "But ... but ... that's impossible," stutters Ed. "You had no tools or hardware. How did you manage?"

"Oh, no problem," replies the woman. "On the South side of the island, there is a very unusual strata of alluvial rock exposed. I found if I fired it to a certain temperature in a kiln, it melted into forgeable ductile iron. "I used that for tools and used the the tools to make the hardware." Ed is stunned.

"Let's row over to my place," she says. After a few minutes of rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf. As Ed looks onto shore, he nearly falls out of the boat.

Before him is a stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, he can only stare ahead, dumbstruck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Sit down, please. Would you like to have a drink? "No, no thank you," he says, still dazed. "Can't take any more coconut juice."It's not coconut juice," the woman replies. "I built a still.

How about a pina colada? Trying to hide his continued amazement, he accepts, and they sit down on her hand-woven couch to talk.

After they have exchanged their stories the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor upstairs in the cabinet in the bathroom. No longer questioning anything, Ed goes into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet, is a razor made from a bone handle. Two shells honed to a hollow-ground edge are fastened on to its end inside of a swivel mechanism. "WOW" ! This woman is amazing," he muses, "what next?

"When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but vines strategically positioned, and smelling faintly of gardenias. She beckons for him to sit down next to her "Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've been out here for a really long time. I know you've been lonely. There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now, something you've been longing for all these months.

You know..." She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what he's hearing! "You mean ...", he swallows excitedly.

"We can watch the Superbowl from here?"

LOL...A bit long, but still a good one nonetheless.

Not too many responses. Either people aren't logging on or aren't interested (or just don't want to post about it).

Well, all Americans are probably sitting in front of the TV, eating popcorn and drinking beer, and the majority of Europeans, Asians, and Australians simply couldn't care less.

I plan to watch the SuperBowl - unless it becomes a blowout. But I have no interest in the 8-hours of pre-game hype the network is showing. So I'll be tuning in as close to kickoff time as possible.

I'm rooting for the Eagles, but the Patriots will be VERY tough to beat. I also think Terrel and his freaking mega-ego are going to be a HUGE handicap for the Eagles.

I hope the Eagles win, simply because I'm tired of seeing the Patriots win by field goals. Kudos to them if they actually win this one with a touchdown, but if they can't, yeah I want the Eagles to win it.

Marines get free tickets to the Super Bowl

Some of the tickets that cost $500 and $600 each were passed out to stunned Marines on Friday at Camp Lejeune, the East Coast's largest Marine Corps base. Tickets also were given out at Parris Island, South Carolina, Reserve Command in New Orleans and Central Command in Tampa, Florida.

The lucky Marines will sit around the 50-yard line.

It will be a blowout with the Pats winning by at least 21.
