6th Floor Super Bowl

Welcome to the .

Today's contributors are: Ann, Sara, Tabitha, Frank, Billy and Scott.

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.”

6th Floor Super Bowl Snacks

Welcome to the 6th floor.

Today's contributors are: Tabitha, Billy and Scott.

Subject: 6th Floor's Snack Post

I want to talk about something to you that's very important to me.” Billy says solemnly, looking at Scott and Tabitha sitting on the couch across from him.


What kind of snacks are we having on Saturday? And what type of food for dinner?”


Scott snickers.

Ann and I are going shopping tomorrow. We'll get a bunch of chips and frozen appetizers and the like.”


Get some of those little, wrapped hot dog things.”


Pigs in a blanket?”

Yes! Those!”


I saw this delicious recipe for Guinness brownies. We should make those!”


Beer brownies?” Tabitha makes a face. “That's on you.”


Well, first we'll need some Guinness.”


That's a given.”

One for the brownies, one to drink while you make the brownies?”


Yeah! I like the way you think Tabitha.”


I'm just hoping for good commercials anyway. Like last year.”


No changing the topic. Should we order food on Sunday?”


You know food always takes a decade to get here on Super Bowl Sunday.”


We could order early.”


Order at the start of the second inning..”


Quarter.”

Whatever. And then it should be ready for half time right? Who's performing this year?”


Springsteen.”


Springsteen? Geeze, they're sure playing it safe these days.”


Springsteen's good though..”


He is..but it's still safe. Just don't think that's the right reason to pick a band.”


Any other snack requests?”


No, I trust your judgment.”


You do?”


No. But I trust you'll shop early and I'll be able to bitch about your choices early enough to get more stuff.”


Tabitha rolls her eyes.
