    Uh, droolin’ halfwit, here’s an answer which should serve as a que:
    “Sane?”.
    But, hell, that’s pro’lly’ too much to essspect.

    the superbore sucks but just for karen go steelers

  5.  Slimmins says:

    The other 200% believe the Flying Spaghetti monster’s going to fly in, rain marinara sauce into the stadium, and turn the football into a huge meatball. The winner, of course, will be whoever eats the meatball first, and the reward will be gift certificates to The Olive Garden. Henceforth, the entire event shall be known as The Pasta Bowl. `;))

    This will all happen, provided goddess Aphrodite doesn’t first come in, and fill the field with gorgeous nymphomaniacs. Henceforth, the entire event shall be known as The Super Whore.

    Who cares about the Superbore? I just don’t get you straight guys getting all whipped into a frenzy over sports…:-)

    Sports are a young male’s substitute for female attention. Naturally, with the onset of adulthood, it’s the only excuse to get a day off to bond with the guys.

    Of course, this is just my outside perspective looking in.

    My mum has already called me this morning to see what plans I had for a Superbowl party-she was of course joking!

    Losing quaterback:

    “I would like to thank the lord jesus christ for this defeat and HIS validation that we are unworthy of victory and that our opponents are our moral and spiritual superiors.”

    Hey, I can dream, eh?

    What’s a blog without a Superbowl thread?

    Ummmmmm…interesting?

    To paraphrase Chico Esquela, (Garrett Morris from back when SNL was actually funny):
    Foooht-eh-ball beeing bery, bery, boring to me! :)

  13. David Silverman dsilverman says:

    Aww come on! Does every post have to be relevant about Atheism?

    SuperWhore: I think I dated her in college. Nice cape.

    On a more interesting note, ;} what’s with the Recent Referer sidebar?

    Looks like someone has found a new way to spam the blog.

    Thanks udonman! :)
    I know it’s stupid, but I’m so excited! It’s been so long since the Stillers have made it to the bowl.

    Everything in life doesn’t have to be serious and urbane.

    Seeker
    I like your attitude about the Colts! :)

    GO STEELERS!

    Aaron Neville. Now THERE’S an ungodly singer. Not even in the same league as Aretha.

  18.  Deadly Doomham says:

    I think I ate one of the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s children at an italian restaurant last night. Does that make me a sinner or a saint?

  19.  karen says:

    OH YEAH!
    SUPER STEELERS!
    Not the greatest game, especially the first half. Some will question the officials’ influence on the outcome.
    Seattle did a better job of moving the ball most of the time, but Pittsburgh was able to capitalize on their plays more.
    And what a great gadget play!
    I’m so happy for the Bus and Bill Cowher especially. Too bad Jerome is hanging up his cleats.

    That’s one for the thumb; now we can start on the other hand!

    YIPPEE!
    There were a few pretty funny commercials too.:)

  20.  Cynic says:

    Look’s like god wanted the Steelers to win.

  21.  3E8 says:

    It was fixed! There were WAY too many unwarrented calls against Seattle…

    Worst superbowl EVER!

  22.  TXatheist says:

    Way to go Steelers. I liked the commercial where the lady was moving the from window aisle seat of the plane to the aisle and turbulence cause her to plop on the man’s lap. My wife liked the Bud Light ad where the sheep stripped and danced naked.

  23.  mryder66 says:

    I Tivo’d the game, and kind of watched it while doing other things. Congrats Karen – are you hung over today?

    I can’t believe that the game ran for 3 3/4 hours – and I still missed tivoing the end of the game. What they found to talk about in the 4 hour pregame show I have no idea. Does anyone actually watch those things?

    I also missed the commercials – thanks to tivo’s 30 second skip button. I did spot the air turbulance ad however and even stopped to check it out. I have no idea what it was advertising though.

    I did see the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger looks pretty lithe and fit for a 64 year old who has led a hard life.

    No, I’m not hungover. Not with drink -I don’t drink much-even forgot to have the Iron City Beer I was saving for the occasion. And not hungover from rapture from the game, cos it wasn’t all that “super”. I am quite contented however. Happy for the team and my home town.

    My favorite commercial was the FedEx with the cave men. It was great. Most of the beer commercials were pretty good too, especially the magic fridge one. The Diet Pepsi commercial w/signing a record contract sucked. I missed the other one.

    The Ancient Rockers looked and sounded pretty good at halftime. I didn’t see it all.
    National Anthem sucked too. Sorry Dave. Aretha was all right, but I don’t like the anthem as a spiritual. Aaron Neville…Ugghh!

  25.  The502 says:

    I agree with you Karen, the caveman commercial was my favorite. The Diet Pepsi commercials sucked, but so does everything else that Jay Mohr is involved in.

    When Aaron Neville sings, it sounds like the volume on the TV is faulty. Who signed this guy?

    The game was a little too boring, but it was still enjoyable.

    Oh no!!!! Creationism in a thinly veiled disguise..Think about it…dinosaurs & cavemen living together…straight from the answers in genesis group!

    Come back to the light!!!

    Yeah, I know it’s just a commercial, but how many others caught it??

  27.  mryder66 says:

    mxracer,

    Oh no!!!! Creationism in a thinly veiled disguise.

    It’s okay what chance does a commercial have to impact intelligent minds? I mean, stop and think: how could a 30 second commercial possibly impact American, sports-fanatic, TV watching, sedentry, …..

    Uh oh – we’re doomed! Doomed I tell you!

  28.  mxracer652 says:

    HNZ,
    Nah, I was just being silly on that occasion :P

    Sad part is, a lot of people tell me I just can’t take things to be humorous for the sake of humor, and that I have to pick apart the inconsistencies, or incorrectness. The curse of being a skeptic…

    Yeesh, all you folks talking about hockey.
    This thread IS about hockey, ain’t it?
    (Hee-HEE-hee).

    Yeh, I picked up on this. Had to remind everyone at work today that it was cronologicaly inaccurate.

    I thought it was a toss up between the budlight magic fridge or the budlight guys on the roof for best commercial. For the worst it was the diet pepsi one, man that sucked big time. Most unoriginal idea (again) those damn horses. Time to retire the old nags I think.

  31.  anadrol says:

    mxracer,

    I too am one of those annoying people who like to point inaccuracies in all things entertainment.

    Andradol:

    Yeah, me too, until I realized that most folks want their fantasies intact.
    Sounds in space. Hello? No sound in a vacuum? Beat up 12 guys in a bar fight? You go to jail. (Yeah, I still watch those things anyways.)

    & don’t even get me started on Disney & historical inaccuracies.

    Or the fact that the US was settled & colonized long before the Pilgrims ever set foot on Plymouth Rock.

    Oh, man, I could go on for HOURS.

    Might as well talk to myself.

    Few people like to have their delusions shattered.

    Yep. I caught it; it was one of the first things I thought about after I stopped laughing. But hell, it’s a commercial.
    There was the Hummer commercial where the robot mated with the hairy sorta-godzilla-y creature to produce the baby Hummer. That’s in the Bible too, right? “…and all things that creeped or crawled and exhausted fumes upon the earth…” heheheh…

    I almost ruined a good keyboard, spitting out food, laughing at that comment. Nice one :)
