Title: On this National Holiday.............
Post by: Grandpa Shooter on February 06, 2011, 10:33:20 AM
I will be safely on our new property setting up the dog run we took down yesterday at our remote property, and setting up the horse corral panels we had stored out there. =D  LadyShooter dragged the area of the dog run and horse corral with the garden tractor we found on Craigslist and then we tore up the linoleum in the kitchen and took out one corner cabinet which was useless to us.

At no point will we be sucking down beers and gorging on fattening snacks, nor will we be hung over tomorrow.  I know that is somehow considered Anti American, but............... >:D

That's odd. Usually on Sooperbowl Sunday, I have to endure the preacher carping about all the other churches having Sooperbowl parties. He didn't mention it this morning. He'll no doubt hit that theme in the evening service.

There's soup in a bowl?  Of course there is!  What else do you put soup in?

Bread!

Specifically, a hollowed out sourdough boule. 

The world's perfect meal is chili in a bread bowl.

I've forgotten the name, but I think it involves people gathering around some moving picture device, often with alcoholic beverages and tasty snacks, to watch a showcase of advertisements that are often interrupted by images of large men in tight pants  chasing each other around a field.

Goshdarnit.  I was going to celebrate the holiday today by spending several hours in a near-deserted gym, working out without all those pesky "other people" in the way.  But I forgot the impetus behind the extra-long gym session today, got busy with kids and other stuff at home, and never got there.  Darn.

Had to work today, got work truck stuck in mud, accidentally cut myself, yeah today sucked

But now I'm home and have two days off to rest and recover...I've got stuff to do around home, but not a damn thing is going to get done.

We should start a club.

I was at work, but even if I hadn't been I wouldn't have been watching it. Not even for the commercials. Not a sports person.

Nope, he didn't mention it at all.  ???

I'd get more personal satisfaction shoveling a pickup load of manure onto my garden than I would watching the stuperbowl.

Actually, before this last snow storm covered us in evil white stuff, several members of the farmer's market I sell at were planning a manure hauling day for Sunday.

I heard the President was rooting for the Steelers, so by default, I was a Packers fan.

Game defintely had its high points.  But it seemed for most of it that the Steelers weren't there.  They tried to make a game of it a couple times.  But not very hard.

So THAT's why they lost.

I jested about soups and bowls, but I went to a trashy bar in Tempe where the college girl waitresses wear football jersey tops and bottom-hugging shorts, to watch the game with some friends.  The Steelers gave the game away, IMO.  Lots of interceptions that just bit them in the *expletive deleted*ss, over and over again.

I saw the Aguilera screw-up on the Anthem and pointed it out right away.  Only half the people I was with even caught on.  Disappointing state of patriotism in my social circle.

Why the hell even bother singing the Anthem if they are going to *expletive deleted* it up? And I really, really dislike the stylized bullshit "singers" do with the anthem (going really high pitched, for one)...just sing it plainly, honorably, and don't *expletive deleted*EDITED OUT

Great cheese-filled Buddha! Can you not show one ounce of respect for a pop singer! I mean it would be one thing if you were taking God's name in vain, but that's Christina Aguilera you're talking about, there! Mohamed on a matzo ball!

There is a line between calling you like you see it, and being just plain obnoxious.  Calling someone a crack smoking slut pushes came across as lacking tact and taste to me.  I closed the other thread.  Get over it.

Hippies? Where?  [popcorn]

Wallace, Wallace gave away the game. Effer missed two perfect and crucial passes. I think they also got a bad call on that "incomplete" thing, The dude had control of the ball. It was tucked and he had a hand on each end. They stripped it.

Of course I couldn't care less either way. I just tuned in after half time and always root for the underdog anyways so I was wanting to see them make a comeback and at least tie for crying out loud.

All I wanted to see was some good football.  :'(
