So ever since I was little and had no clue what was going on I've been a Steelers fan. It's in my blood. For years I've seen Cowher almost lead the team to the Lombardi trophy, only to arrive at crushing defeats. And I had to endure quarterbacks like Neil O'Donnell, Kordell Stewart, and Tommy Maddox. I had to see us lose four AFC championship games. But finally, today, February 5, 2006, it has happened. We have won one for the thumb. WE WON THE SUPER BOWL BABY!!!
Man, it was just amazing. Willie Parker had that 75 yard touchdown run, and then there was that trick play with Antwaan Randle El throwing it to Heins Ward. It was just amazing, I have to say. Sometimes it seemed like the Seahawks were going to catch up, but we kept the lead, and we won.
Also, how old are the Stones anyway? I mean, Keith Richards somehow survived to that age. I have no idea how. Maybe he has an endless supply of those stars from Mario Bros. that make you invincible. Come to think of it, Mario Bros. does seem like it endorses drugs. I must investigate.
So is anyone else here exited as I am?

I'll hopefully be more excited when I find out how I did in my fantasy football league, but I'm feeling pretty smug since I picked Hines Ward as my wide receiver.  That was quite a game! |

Caramel and I went to a restaurant/bar where they were having a free buffet for the game, a large screen TV and all that. We naturally brought books to read, only looking up to watch the commercials. Football... eh.

I watched it at church. This is one of the times I laugh at other people's reaction... when I say that we watch the Super Bowl at my church (and actually watch the halftime show, unlike some other area churches) and we have a pool table in the fellowship hall... I get strange glances.
Anyway, I think we were all going for the Steelers. Good thing they won and all that.

Come to think of it, Mario Bros. does seem like it endorses drugs. I must investigate. Mick Jagger's 62, I don't know about Keith. My parents are among the biggest Stones fans in the world, so I was raised with a healthy dose of respect for them. They rule. Lady Luck points out (correctly) that I don't own a single Stones CD myself, and that's true (why bother, you can hear every song on the radio at least once a day), but still... respect for guys who are still putting out that much energy at an age when they could be renewing their AARP memberships. Start me up indeed. "This may be why Keith cannot be killed with conventional weapons." As for the game, meh. I'm excited for a couple of my good friends who are Steelers fans, and I certainly can't argue that the Eagles deserved to be in it, but it really was only a moderately exciting game. I probably got more entertainment out of the caveman FedEx commercial and the streaker at the Clydesdale game than from the game itself. -D |

I liked the one where the woman got tackled.
Heh.
Woman go boom-boom.

"This may be why Keith cannot be killed with conventional weapons." I believe I actually said this to somebody during halftime. They didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Heard on the radio: "In the event of a nuclear holocaust, only two things will survive: the cockroaches, and Keith Richards." |

Heard on the radio: "In the event of a nuclear holocaust, only two things will survive: the cockroaches, and Keith Richards." I read an interview with Keith, where this was brought up. He was then asked how he would survive in a post-apocalyptic world, and without missing a beat, he responded by saying, "I would eat the cockroaches." |

We must have heard/read the same interview.

Foul language abounds in this one, but I liked Penny Arcade's take on the Super Bowl. |

Detroit was very similar in tone, nothing but the 'bowl talk.
Teen to me last Wednesday: "So, who do you think is going to win?"
Justin, who is sick of Superbowl talk: "Me. Because I won't be wasting four hours of my life watching a football game."

And to what good use did you put those hours instead, fearless leader?  -D |

I think I read a book. And also tried to train my rabbit to perch on my shoulder like a parrot and repeat basic salty sea dog phrases. No go on that last front.

Personally, I played video games and started rereading "Pride and Prejudice." You know, the book. That does not contain any Hollywood actors.
And Ms. Jellybean, my church is almost that bad. One of our pastors wore a seahawks jersey through the whole service - over her fashionably midlength skirt and ridiculously high heels.

I played a videogame for the first quarter or so, then I went to the living room and flipped between the Superbowl and the Simpsons marathon Fox ran in competition. Mostly the Simpsons though.
