February 2008 Archives

February 4, 2008

Supah!

4:58 - Nice to see some people that are proud to be Americans. For a change. (sniffle.) Reading the Declaration of Independence = a little weird, but still.

5:06 - F*ck Randy Moss. Oops, was that bitter? Go Giants.

5:08 - Idol Hollywood Week. *drool* How much does that one kid look like Jimmy Fallon? (Yes, I'll mostly be blogging the commercials.)

5:12 - Tom Brady always reminds me of Sporty's meester. Something about the eyes, I think.

5:14 - Ooo. Jordin Sparks.

5:17 - Matt Hasselbeck, re: Brett Favre's mail. Hee!

5:20 - I'm one of the freaks who always stands for a color guard. Even in my living room. Weirdly, I got that from my uberliberal parents.

5:26 - Tails. Giants receive.

5:35 - February always makes me nostalgic. Anyone remember when they first started putting the first down line on the screen? Must've been close to ten years ago now. It was a huge deal.

Ouch. Two men down for the Patriots.

5:36 - Ability to breathe fire no longer available in Bud Light. Ha! (Love DVR)

5:37 - Audi/Godfather. Twistedly awesome.

5:44 - Field goal, Giants!

5:46 - Diet Pepsi Max, with nodding heads. Cute!

5:48 - WTF? Fifteen seconds of game, and we're back to commercials again. I mean, I love the commercials, but it's a football game, kids.

5:49 - Bud Light cheese party. Meh.

5:58 - Bridgestone, with screaming animals. Hilarious! What can I say, I love the anthropomorphized animal schtick.

6:01 - Touchdown Patriots.

6:03 - Wanted. Oooooooooo.

6:06 - FedEx carrier pigeons. Hee! Especially that it's his own car (he turns off the alarm). Aren't carrier pigeons extinct?

6:07 - Tide talking stain. I actually thought that was hilarious. Sometimes simple works.

6:09 - You know, I think Burress had that, before he was hit. Nobody contested the call, so whatever.

6:10 - Outstanding catch, Toomer. ("It's not a Tooomer." Sorry.)

6:12 - Asante Samuel always makes me think of the song from the Lion King.

6:14 - Budweiser, Hank in training. Awwww. Especially the high five at the end.

6:15 - F'ing DUDE. Iron Man. Dude!

6:18 - Little fight here. 15 vs 87. Ow. He just smacked that guy across the face mask with his bare hand. That had to hurt.

6:18 - Corolla, sleeping badgers. Awesome.

6:20 - Garmin with Napoleon. Eh. Cute little car though. Is that an old Volvo?

6:25 - LifeWater. Thriller with lizards. Is that Naomi Campbell? If so, they airbrushed (photoshopped) the living hell out of her. She hasn't looked that good in fifteen years.

6:29 - Yukon. I hate that that was a car commercial.

6:30 - Bud Light, accents. Hee.

6:38 - Prince Caspian. Ooooo. Wait, are the Pevensies even in that book? For like five pages at the end, I think. Why are they in the commercial so much?

6:39 - T-Mobile. Hee. Ok, not that funny, but I still have a lingering, ancient crush on Sir Charles, and I love that he can laugh at himself.

6:40 - Again, ten seconds of game and back to commercials.

6:41 - Pepsi with Justin Timberlake. Not clever, but beating the hell out of Justin Timberlake amuses me.

**6:42 - Doritos, with the mouse. Beautiful. That's my favorite so far. I love the staging and music, like an old Fellini film or something.

6:54 - Aaaargh. So CLOSE.

6:54 - Halftime

7:04 - I wouldn't call myself a fan by any means, but I have a soft spot for Tom Petty. This freakishly young audience seems to know his songs too. Huh.

7:31 - Wow, Hodgins from Bones, doing a cars.com commercial. The writer's strike is really starting to suck.

7:31 - Sales Genie. Wow, could that have been any more painfully un-comedically un-PC? Indian = five kids, Asian = panda. And crappy stereotyped accents at no extra charge! Way to alienate your market!

**7:32 - Vitamin Water - Shaq as a jockey. Outstanding. Seriously, that was beautiful. The details were so sharp. "Chunk of Love." "Half-Clydesdale on his mother's side." And the ass-smack at the end.

7:33 - The Terminator robot jumping out and beating the crap out of the NFL robot. Priceless.

Joe Stalin, phone your office

Suddenly, the Truthers don't seem quite as stupid...

One in four Britons don't believe wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill existed, according to a recent survey.

Churchill is compared to Florence Nightingale and Sir Walter Raleigh, seen by many survey respondents as a mythical person, the London Daily Mail reported Monday.

The survey, conducted with 3,000 respondents to test their general knowledge, reported other historical figures such as Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, Cleopatra and the Duke of Wellington were made up for books and films, the Mail reported.

The survey, by UKTV Gold, also found that Sherlock Holmes was a real person.

I'm speechless.

Aches, etc

So, we got 6-7 inches of snow last Thursday. In the 40s over the weekend, and in the 70s on Monday. Now we're back to low-30s and rain. Snow predicted again today.

What does this mean, in terms I can use?

Ow.

Jaded

Anyone care to place a little wager? Think we'll find out that tearless-eyed Asia'h was having a Johnny Fairplay moment, with respect to her father?

I liked the kid at the end, though. The one who was living in his car.
