Seems like there should be a thread about this.  So I started one. 

Was fairly entertaining game.  That last quarter though, if you are a New England fan, was like one of those cliche scenes in an old-timey cartoon.

You know, the one where a character is standing there watching something come at them in slow motion, and they are there waving their arms around saying "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

On the plus side, the game concluded very conveniently right at my bedtime.

I watched it. I don't know anything about/care anything about football, but I watched it. At this age, it's difficult to avoid it, and even though I was home sick, Pickles had a few mutual friends over, so I was social with them. Plus, food.

There are some benefits to the Superbowl party. You don't really have to watch the game. The commercials are usually pretty good and you get to laugh at the trainwreck that is the Half-Time show.

Actually, the half-time show is funny, because they always choose pop music entertainers, and though the Superbowl draws in a diverse demographic, I don't really see your average football fan enjoying it.

I'm just wondering what team was playing the Giants, because it sure as hell wasn't the Patriots.



And, Madonna's half time show was the most interesting one in recent memory.

In other news, our superbowl party lasted late into the night, and I'm only semi conscious this morning.

They, the Patriots, did seem to be a little less than inspired.

You sure? It looked exactly like the Patriots. You know, the team with the league's worst pass defense, the league's most predictable offense, and the team that only won ONE game against a team with a winning record all year, and only because of a shanked field goal.

Even so, it was worse than usual.

Perfectly bookmarked, as well.  I mean, an intentional grounding safety on the first play, and then Welker botching an otherwise completely normal pass at the end?  that goes beyond the pale, if you ask me.

I will have to thank The Twid for teaching me about this Magical Mystery rite.

It certainly was interesting. It's seemed incredibly... what's the word...

She was brought in on a throne preceded by and carried in by a Roman legion. It's a hell of an entrance, but come on. And that song that L U V Madonna in the lyrics?

Most of Team Vodka concurred that the new single isn't that good -- It was basically a vertical integration vehicle for Niki Minaj's rap. 

But as far as sheer spectacle, she really knows how to work a crowd.  The entrance was basically her telling Gaga to go fuck herself, and the arrangements of her past hits were spot on.  Plus, those video screens were pretty awesome.

Bonus points for kicking LMFAO to the curb after a couple of choruses.
