Damn, all these years I watched boring superbowls (ok sort of watched) this year I skip it and look at what I miss.

I'm so bummed. How were the commercials?

I thought the commercials totally sucked. There was one semi-funny one with a fresh pet monkey (Flinty!), but I don't even recall what product was being sold, so I guess it wasn't that good.

The new Dodge Magnum, which helps you get the monkey off your back by getting a hot family car.

I don't think that was the one the ncs was referring to. There was another monkey commerical where a guy brings his date home and has a pet monkey. When he goes to get some bud light, the monkey begins talking and gets a little fresh with the date.

I actually liked the NFL players singing "The Sun Will Come Out Tommorow" the best.

And while I did like the look of the new Cadillac convertible, I just didn't get the whole desert, car in a big water bubble thing.

I completely forgot that ad. Clearly, it made a big impact.

Yes, two commercials with chimpanzees - which the Dodge commercial incorrectly called a monkey. I thought both were pretty lame. Chimps are so Internet bubble. And is the lack of a cool family car really an monkey on one's back? It was such a catchy concept (radical family car) that they could have done so much with it. Instead they just brought back vague memories of ETrade.

I liked the donkey/clydesdale commercial for Budweiser, and the American Chopper AOL commercials, but I think that for anyone who hasn't seen the show, they probably would be much less funny.

Ah! A variation on the Chewbacca defense. Well played!

Did it really take you all that time to think that up?

You're so pathetic it's not even fun anymore.

Numbskull. I didn't see what you'd posted till about a minute before I responded. I have a job. I'm sorry I can't reply to your posts immediately. My practice isn't just telling people to take it or leave it. I have to go see clients, and Judges, plus, especially on Friday afternoon I like to take naps.

Here's the response i "thought up" with time.


Thurgreed, you keep forgeting I'm a black woman only pretending to be a tired white guy. Of course I know your lexography.
When I said "sexrap" I was trying to sound like an out of touch white guy somewhere in the midwest. That's my traget style. So when you "insult" me by saying I sound like a tired white guy, you're actually complimenting me, see?
And, since you were trying to insult me, I think your post is a WHIFF.

Ollie wins. LFM was closest but he, being an honest soul, pointed out to me that he broke the rules when he bet after noon. Ollie was second closest, so he wins.

Ollie just PM me or something and let me know how you want the 25 dollar gift certificate sent to you, and from what site you want it.

so was the exposure of JJ's breast by JT an accident? If planned, who knew about it beforehand (possible choices -- JT; JJ and JL and their PR people; the network and JT and JJ and their PR people)

Had to be planned. She was wearing leather, but had one of those nipple dot thingies on. Besides, I don't think Justin has balls like that.

I enjoyed it. Thank God for Tivo.

Me from last week re: the mystery halftime guest:

I'd say somebody like Outkast, Justin Timberlake or Beyonce, though if there's someone with a Houston connection that could be a possibility as well.

What do I win? I mean, besides the freaky peep show?

Despite Janet's reaction, it was obviously planned. When you perform simulated sex acts on audience members on stage during your shows, you lose the benefit of the doubt...

Here's what Matt Drudge has to say about it:

"Top CBS executives approved a musical skit where Janet Jackson would expose her breast during the MTV-produced Super Bowl half-time concert, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The decision to go forward went to the very top of the network," a well-placed source explained from New York."

He usually has pretty good inside info.

It has to be intentional, unless she always wears pasties over her nips. Coltrane, doesn't that get a little uncomfortable?

Only when you take them off.

And I completely missed JJ's tit. We were busy watching the lingerie bowl*. Had I actually paid for it and not gotten it for free through my descrambler, I would have been pissed. Someone needs to kick Tracy Bingham's ass. It sucked. But they definitely weren't messing around. There were some real hits out there.

*we were fully expecting bras/underwear to come down/off when tackling ensued. Not so. No one could figure out how their clothes stayed on? Adhesive?

Gravy:
I placed a $10 bet on this prop:

(1) Jake Delhomme's 1st pass is incomplete - won
(2) Neither Manning nor Minter intercepts - won
(3) Panthers will not score in both the first AND second quarters - won
(4) Ricky Prohl over 15.5 receiving yards - won
(5) Rodney Harrison over 8 tackles (solo + assists) - won, and Rodney broke his arm on the last tackle.

$10 won me $140.

You bet on Harrison breaking his arm? Sicko.

I won over $3000 on an investment of $200 betting on the NFL this season (including a $450 payoff on the playoff pool). Football has been berry berry good to me. Of course that merely offsets blackjack losses over the last couple of years, so no income reporting is required.

Mr Man is happily tagging along on the planned Vegas trip we are taking with the winnings...

Next year I will likely suck at football predicting, but for today, I gloat.

I see. So, when I say you're a stupid, pathetic, unfunny loser, who couldn't draft a funny post if his life depended on it, I'm just reinforcing your "traget" style and complimenting you all the same time, right?
