Subject: Super Bowl Sunday

Quick note before I get on with the post. I've connected with a domain, so now the official link of the blog is www.ceetar.com/6thfloorblog. Likely switching to wordpress, but working on getting the starts of an acceptable theme setup, so as of now, that link redirects. But it won't. I've commissioned Sara to start tweaking some stuff, for instance, the width of the site. It was stupid and small prior, and I always felt like things were getting squished. I should've done this a while ago. I also need to fix the header graphic now, as it looks tiny.

“Vegas was a blast, but I'm glad I got the red-eye and am here for Super Bowl Sunday! Woo, go Steelers!”

“I think I'm going with the underdog story in the Cardinals.”

“I'm just hoping it ends. Some cool commercials, like last year, couldn't hurt.”

“Good football, good snacks.. That's all I need.”

“I've already resolved myself that football is over, and there is no way the game will be as good as last year.”

“Baseball season! Baseball! Pitchers and catchers report in like two weeks!”

“Rather giddy aren't you? You'd think you'd have learned by now, yet every spring you get your hopes up, and every October you're a miserable wreck of a person for two weeks.”

“Bah! This year IS the year. You just wait and see.”

---------Football Game----------

“I dunno Scott. That game was pretty exciting.”

“Last year was better.”

“Two Super Bowls for Ben Roethlisberger now. Are we going to get Eli-Ben comparisons again about how the Giants should’ve taken him?”

“No, I think Eli’s fine. I’m sure some idiots will bring that up on WFAN, but Eli won last year, he didn’t have a great post season this year, but I don’t think anyone’s worried.”

“So, how lame was the 3D glasses thing?

“Hated it. The commercials weren’t bad, the the idea that they actually sent out millions of glasses around the country?”

“Would’ve been lamer if Tabitha hadn’t spotted the glasses and picked them up for us.”

“That’s true. Kudos Tab. Maybe I’ll even watch Chuck tonight to make the most use of them.”

“There were some funny commercials..but in general I think this year failed. Maybe the economy caused the ad agencies to let some of their people go?”

“You’d think they’d be smart enough to keep the funny guys though.”

“You know what the big-wigs thing is funny, and what’s actually funny are usually completely different things.”

“It’s the old adage: Most people end up doing the job that’s one level above what they’re good at.”

“That can't be true. It implies that most people are doing things they're not good at.”

“Explains the state of our country though.”

“Hard to argue that.”

Super Bowl Sunday

After spending the day proclaiming myself the premier Giants fan in the apartment, Ann demanded that I write this post after the game. Frank's a Panther fan, Sara and Billy like the Jets, Ann calls herself a Bills fan, and Tabitha, when I demanded she pick a team, chose the Browns because she thought it was a silly name for a football team.

Action continues at the end of the fourth quarter.

“There is still one second left! Get off the field so we can finish this!”

“Why bother? Do we really need to go through the process of Eli catching a football to finalize it? He's not going to drop it and then have the Patriots recover for a touchdown, that's just stupid.”

“League rules though.”

“They've already hit Coughlin with the Gatorade, that's good enough for me.”

“Some good commercials though.”

“Hey, let's bask in the glory of the Giants championship a little before we discuss mundane advertisements.”

“The last time the Mets won the World Series, it was after the Giants won the Super Bowl.”

“Aren't you jinxing it a little bit?”

“Nah. Come to think of it, the last time the other local football team won, the Mets won the World Series also.”

“Well, maybe the Mets win and then it's the Jets turn next year?”

“That's definitely a jinx.”

“Anything in association with the Jets is a jinx.”

“I liked the Thanksgiving balloon commercial with Stewie and Underdog racing for the bottle of coke.”

“Oh fine. Let's discuss the commercials. It was a little surprising to see Charlie Brown of all people prevail though.”

“Brown never prevails. He's like the Jets.”

“Stewie is usually foiled too...and Underdog by nature is not favored to win.”

“Good point.”

“The Garmin ad where the reenacter shamefully hides the electronic device after he uses it to get there was funny. I like the catchy song too, Garmin, Garmiiin.” Sara sings.

“Somehow I don't think it'd find that forest though.”

A Geico caveman commercial comes on, where the cavemen mock the Caveman tv show.

“Did the Geico Cavemen just mock the television show?”

“They sure did. Even they know it sucked.”

“That Doritos commercial was awesome! The one where he baits the trap for the mouse.”

“And then the giant mouse leaps out of the wall and beats the crap out of him? Classic.”

“The Sales Genie commercials were pretty bad though.”

“Yeah, they lose. Worse than the Patriots.”

“I kind of enjoyed the Diet Pepsi Max with ginseng commercials. The one where they're all head-bobbing and falling asleep.”

“The best part was seeing Joe Buck falling asleep. I guess he bores even himself.”

“No no, the best part is right at the end where the guy yells 'Stop it!' at the two girls.”

“That was one of the best Super Bowls ever, but now I'm going to hit the hay. Early shift tomorrow.”

“Hit the hay? I don't think anyone actually uses that phrase anymore..unless you are headed out to a barn.”

“You should convert your room into a hay loft. That'd be pretty cool.”

“Maybe tomorrow. Tonight I'm going to 'go to sleep'. Better?”

“Kind of boring, but I accept it.”

“Good, goodnight.”

“Is it too early to call in sick so I can attend the parade on Tuesday?”

“Not if you're working tomorrow..I'm sure George will accept that you somehow know you're going to get sick after your shift tomorrow already.”

“You're right. I'll wait 'till Tuesday morning, but you better remind me. George always yells at me for forgetting to call in.”

“Aren't you supposed to get someone to cover for you anyway? You could ask at your shift tomorrow..”

“Hey, you're right! I could do that..Bernice owes me a favor anyway. She'll like this better than the other thing I keep suggesting..”

“You know, one of these days your going to get sued for sexual harassment doing stuff like that.”

“All I meant was burn me a couple of DVDs from her collection. What were you thinking you sicko?”

“I'm sure that's all you meant.”

“Sexual innuendo? Me? Never!”
