Okay. One of those is totally inappropriate, but I'm not saying which.

No child should ever be forced to sit through Christopher Plummer singing again. Aren't three generations of scarred children enough?

my main thought is what the fuck is he doing going to South Carolina within a few months of when he took over the world? I'd have played it differently.

My thought was that I wouldn't pass my bong* to a dude with that kind of lung capacity. 1 rip and you're repacking the bowl.

*By bong, I mean a water pipe used to smoke either prescribed marijuana in a state that allows such things or tobacco in a state that does not.

Sounds like he hit it pretty hard.

“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

Great game (Fourth-quarter lead changes were reminiscent of last year's game)

So-so commercials (Anytime the e-trade baby is in the running for best commercial, you know it's a weak year. Same goes for making Danica Patrick the main course of cheesecake.)

Was surprised that President Obama was on the pregame show with Matt Lauer.

Here's to a future Superbowl broadcast with Cris Collinsworth doing color. There does not need to be that many studio analysts. There probably doesn't need to be half that many studio analysts.

I wasn't critizing. I just said he seems like the kind of guy who might enjoy cannibis from time to time.

It was allegedly performance-enhancing for poor Ross Rebagliati. Which I never understood.

I don't like Annie or The Sound of Music, but my daughter watched both with her soon-to-be stepmother and loved them.

Generally the commercials were not memorable. The Mean Joe Green Coke remake was pretty funny. That was the best way to make a nod to the classic commecial but not just remake it for the sake of updating it.

I only watched the last 3 minutes of the game and the halftime show. The rest I taped and fast forwarded through to the commercials. I got excited when Larry Jr. (Larry Sr. is a sports reporter here) made the touchdown with 2:35 to go. Sad the Cards defense couldn't stop the Pittsburgh offense though that was some excellent football.

Great ideas, guys -- thank you so much!

They may not be the greatest movies but boys often like Hook (it's the whole kids beating adults deal) and George of the Jungle (the Brendan Fraser one)

I second BnB's recommendation the the classic Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies.

So, I had two sheets with Superbowl boxes. One with 0/6 (Steelers/Cards) and one with 6/3 (Steelers/Cards).

Three minutes to go. Cards pin Steelers on the 1. Holy crap. If they get a safety, final score could be 20-16, giving me a large payoff. Sure enough, safety!

Now, I just need a hold. Come on Steelers Defen...wait. No! Don't throw to Fitzgerald! Fuck. Tackle him. Noooooo! Shit. Now it's 23-20.

Okay. If the Cards hold the Steelers to a field goal in this last drive and it goes to overtime, I have a great chance to win on my second sheet.

Awesome. Big Ben is driving them down the field. Don't get too close. Crap! Huge gain. Now they're at the 10. I just need three stops. Come on Arizona D!

Holmes almost pulls my heart out with a leaping catch on the left side of the end zone. Damn, that was close. Okay, two more plays and I'm rolling in ca...FUCK! Holmes makes a crazy catch on the other side for a touchdown. What do I gotta do to win some damn money? Damn.

Okay. If they just miss the extra point...

A little. Not in judgmental way, I could go for a hit of that bad bong too, but more from the olympic/olympic calibre athletes I have known over the years, most tend to be fairly straightlaced on non-alcohol based substances, and even on the booze most are fairly tame. Nature of the beast....there are not many down days and its tough to put in a 3...4...5..plus day at a high physical effourt after a night out. And constant excess levels of dopamine are good on their own.

I had occasion to watch the play version of SoM about 20 times in January, and let me say that the play's version of 16 going on 17 is the most sexist, double entendre, piece of shit song I've ever seen performed on stage.

Other than that, it's a good show.

Didn't he get his medal back after they realized that it wasn't performance enhancing?*

*Although with snowboarding I imagine that it is, just like you're supposed to ace your exams if you study high and then take them high.
