The Super Bowl was a pretty good game last night. The celebration afterwards with Drew Brees and his son was the best! Makes me want to hug Liam every time I see any of the pictures.

The ads were okay. There seemed to be a lot of naked men, not sure when that came in vogue. The Denny's ads were fantastic, if only for the sheer ludicrousness of them. There was a great comment on Fark after viewing the Vizio ad, in which dozens of internet memes were seen flowing into the TV: "So, Vizio created Hell?"

The halftime show sucked. I've never been sold on the Who to begin with, and the concert only confirmed my suspicion that they are incredibly boring. Roger Daltrey looks like an old woman, and Pete Townshend looks like a sexual predator (oh, wait, he IS). It's interesting how as I age, I start to realize how silly a lot of "classic" rock is. Honestly? A song about pinball?? That's one of the Holy Grails of rock? Bah. It's like when you listen to Zeppelin and realize 90% of the songs are about fairies and trees.

This kinda neat - there's tribes of humans on earth that have little or zero contact with any outsiders. It's amazing that even in 2010 people can remain so remote. I would think their life gets pretty boring, as most of the groups have less than 200 people.

One of the most interesting to me is the Sentinelese, who live on North Sentinel Island, off the Indian coast. What's crazy about where they live is it's kinda sorta in political limbo - they're like an independent nation under Indian protection, yet have no contact with any government from India. So they just kinda float in the sea never knowing what a humongous world exists outside! That just blows my mind. Any contact has usually ended in attack or death.


"I ate Gilligan!"

If you get bored today, check out the Wiki and read some of the links - one site even has video. Kinda freaky. It'd be fun to bring a very large computer there, and see if they'll start worshiping it, like in the one Twilight Zone episode.

I love SuperPoop:

Oh, this is just what we need - Anti-Energy Drinks. Although I think it's great that people are trying to slow things down a tad... I'm not sure I want to be driving behind the guy who just chugged a big can of melatonin.

If you had 2 Red Bulls, then 2 Dranks, would you be completely level then?

They call it "liquid pot"! And Red Bull is like legal crack... I wonder if we'll ever have a happy alternative to crystal meth or heroin. "Honey Nut Cheerios! It's like crystal meth in a bowl!"

No, not that Administration! I'm talking about Nick Jonas' new band, The Administration!

Why am I writing about it?



Because, it's Prince's old band, the New Power Generation!!!



Mayte doesn't seem to be involved yet, but it's only a matter of time before N-Jo is banging her.

I only heard one song by them, it wasn't awful, but a little too bland. It was like a Huey Lewis song - perfect for background music at a bowling alley, but not something you'll be humming in your cube.

Liam's trying to be brave in his new room, today he was clutching Mr. Doggy and his bottle tightly.



Awww, I wanna hug him :(

Last week was Liam's first time in the big-boy room at daycare, aka Toddler 1. The problem is, in the morning, I have to drop him off in the Toddler 2 room (because the Toddler 1 lady doesn't come in until about 8). Liam hates it. He cringes as soon as I touch the door handle. Every day I've been sitting in there for about 30 minutes, but as soon as I stand up, he grabs on to me for dear life. Eventually I just have to get up and leave, and I can hear him screaming at the top of his lungs as I walk back to my car. It's the most heartbreaking thing ever :( I hope he gets over this soon, it's hard to start off every day feeling like the worst father in the world! I'm sure it's hard for him thinking I would abandon him. I hope this doesn't screw him up later.

The founders of Google are handing over the reins. Mark it! The beginning of the end of Google starts now.

Stim brought up an interesting argument tonight about the Health-care debate - Social Security is never argued about, yet that is socialized government... why no anger about that??

I was thrown off guard, but now I'm drunk and on my couch and can think clearly.

Social Security has been in place since 1935 and is accepted. It had its arguments at the time and was a bitter fight, much like today's health-care issue.

The problem is Pres. Obama said he would not raise our taxes 1 penny. I'm not sure a new medical tax would accomplish that promise. Yep! It's the exact opposite.

It's hard to get people behind your tax hike when your campaign was focused on no tax-hikes.

It's not that the Right is against health-care reform... they're just against another broken promise by Obama. Over here in CatholicRacistMan-World (where all Republicans live), we think that a.) the President does not make laws and b.) we can't believe how many on the left are afraid of radio talk-show hosts, and c.) Reform should come in smaller, meaningful bills, not a giant reform that changes nothing.

I will not raise your taxes, period.

Also, Scott Brown's daughters are wayyyyyyyy hot

This guy has an interesting idea... build a gigantic jukebox-shaped building next to the Rock Hall.

THE ROCKOMETER



Apparently, Frank Jackson and Steve Jobs are really good friends.

All we have to do is convince the Coast Guard to demolish their base down by the airport. Sounds feasible.

My only complaint is that in his pictures, the Rockometer dwarfs the Rock Hall... and I'm not sure Cleveland needs a building shaped like a jukebox.

I wish they would get rid of the airport and the Coast Guard station, and build a whole entertainment complex. Live music, live beer, the band Live (like they have anything going on).

There's this kiosk in Great Northern mall where they sell personalized t-shirts, coffee mugs, and more. I love walking around it every time I'm there because there's always either some absurd grammatical errors or just plain creepy-looking items.

Some samples:

WHAT?? Read that again - "Hi Grandma - I Love You Better Than Grandpa"??? That can be read in two terribly awful ways. Does this mean she prefers grandma, or that she is a better sex partner than grandpa?? Then it goes completely all over the place by adding "Daddy's Girl / I Love U Mommy". Who is this shirt even for??? Phil?

I suppose, based on the cartoon, this alludes that the child would be sexier if she were naked. I'm not going to argue that, but it is a tad disturbing. Again - WHO would you give this to as a gift? Look how coy the cartoon baby's face is! And the bear next to him is like "fuck yeah, I'm gettin' full-on baby ass!"

Side note: Another great example of "found racism", yep, the next item over is a photo of a black family with the title "Our Gang". Lawdy!

Side side note: That baby's not sexy, she's covering her tits.

What the hell is this? "Oh, Jose, thanks! I always wanted a wall calendar with your face on it! I LOVE giant faces surrounded by giant birds!"

This was my favorite because it numbs the mind on so many levels:



Not one, but TWO completely uncalled-for spelling errors in a seven-word sentence. Plus, what is the intent of this mug?? Everytime I sip coffee I'm supposed to think of my long-lost love? "Ah, yep, she's still in my heart. Man, coffee makes me poop."

I noticed this mug is only for lefties, as a right-handed person would never see the message, they'd only be broadcasting it... which is even funnier if you think about it. You could be sipping it at work, winking knowingly at your supervisor.

I can't wait to go back and get more. There's a very disturbing one that says "I Love Chickens", which features a bikini model with a chicken's head... but by that point the shopkeep was wondering why I was photographing all of his merchandise.
