I'm reporting ALL of you motherfuckers for your repeated and brazen use of the term "S*per Bowl" without express written consent from NFL Football. It's called "The Big Game" now, dammit!

Which is yet another reason, as if you needed one, not to watch this fucking thing. I went to dinner at my mom's house and we played with my 1 1/2 yr. old son. When I got home my wife was watching the Halftime show. All I have to say is, thank GOD Tom Petty didn't have a wardrobe malfunction.

I work downtown (across the street from Ground Zero), which is where they always have the sports related parades when NY pulls out a win. Today? I couldn't get out of my office building in order to go to lunch. All four streets surrounding our building were completely blocked off with solid walls of people. Luckily there's a Starbucks and a newstand in our lobby - so "lucky me" wound up paying $8.00 for a little yogurt-sized cup of chicken salad from Starbucks and a bag of chips from the newstand. My co-worker was the smarter one of the two of us today - she thought ahead and brown-bagged it.

In other news? Our lobby was also filled with people sporting mullets and Giants jerseys.

Awww, man! Your lobby was filled with mullets? Now I'm jealous! been awhile since I saw a good Tennesee Tophat or Kentucky Waterfall.

If my dad were physically able to, he'd definitely be there (he's fighting off a relapse of pneumonia - the Giants win made him happier than he's been in weeks). He has no mullet, though.

Nobody asked me who I was rooting for this year, which was kind of disappointing. I always enjoy the blank expression of disbelief when I tell them that I don't know who's playing. Sometimes I do know who's playing, but I say it anyway, just to see the expression.

My faith in humanity is restored. I'm glad I'm not only one hates sporting events with a passion.

On Monday morning I about made one of my co-workers cry when he asked if I lost any money on "the game" and I said, 'nah, I hate that shit.' I could have told him I fuck babies instead and his reaction would have been the same. Fuck the Sheepeople.

I never know who's going to the Superbowl, and I never know when it's shown. Yeah, I could care less.

Because if you hate pro sports, going to a party with Sports as the central theme is a boredom beyond belief. Not hard to understand.

You shouldn't need something as shallow as the SB to enjoy yourself at a good party. Enjoy the people, not the event.

I'm sure the Skinheads throw a good bash too, but I'm not going to that party either.

Yes, yes, for a brief time today, our work lobby was Hockey Hair Central.

The first actual mullet I saw today was on a woman, by the way - sporting the Femmullet.

So it was like a Bon Jovi concert, only for people with jobs.

Here in Seattle, the lesbian community was on the cutting edge of the mullet movement. When I first started seeing it show up in other places, I thought of it as a lesbian thing. I didn't hear the word "mullet" connected to it for some time.

Well, it was my office building lobby, and *I* have a job. But just because these people were in our lobby doesn't mean they have jobs. They were "parade squatters" looking to come in from outside, get snacks at the newstand, have some Starbucks, and bug our security guards to see if there were public restrooms they could use (There aren't. Now LEAVE). In fact, they looked pretty unemployable, unless they had plans to stop off at their local fairgrounds on the way home to see if they were hiring any Tilt-A-Whirl operators (I'm from NJ. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about). This was not your crowd who was killing time chatting about the Super Tuesday election results. This was a bunch for whom "Shaddafuckup, Antnee" is a second language, and "ARROOOGGGHHHH!!" is the first.

Only in NJ do we breed such sass. "Tilt-A-Whirl operators". Now I have to clean my keyboard.

And, see, I appreciate that sentiment. It sounds alot better than, "Boy, does she have a mouth on her. Must be from NJ."

I realize I sound elitist, but I did my time in NJ. I spent the 80s with big hair, working in a mall. Now it's my turn to look down on my home state, because I know from whence I speak.

And to think I purposefully moved to Jersey. I should be prepared to pity myself in 5 years, shouldn't I?

So now we now where the "Hrooooogahh Bill!" video came from.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl. My wife was AT the Super Bowl. My friends don't understand me.

Oh, please tell me you chewed a lot of gum, especially when you were talkin' with your "goilfriend" three-L Michellle about your boyfriend "Ant'ny" and his cherry '78 Camaro, and what "youse" guys did under the boardwalk (down by the sea) in AC.

I didn't, sorry - for all my Jersey-ness, at least I "tawked good". The big hair was enough. I did wear my fair share of metal tee shirts and spikey toed boots - to work. And enough makeup to make Buttons the Clown do a double take.

80's story: One day when I was in college, my friends and I were eating lunch in the dining hall, waiting for another friend of ours whom we'd saved a seat for. He couldn't find us, and we were halfway through lunch before he spotted us. He stomped over, threw his knapsack down onto the chair and went, "Where the hell were you guys? I looked everywhere for you! I kept looking around to see if one of you might wave me down, or if I could spot your coats on the backs of the chairs, or if I could spot Lisa's hair! I couldn't find you anywhere!"

And instantly the need for an "Embarassing Childhood Pictures" thread is born.

Oh. Hell. Yeah.

I was neck deep in Guido and Guidette back in college ('85-'89). The acrid scent of sweat, body lotion, and Aqua Net permeated the atmosphere at Monmouth so bad that people were afraid to light up their smokes for fear of igniting the air. One Science major wanted to see if such a thing was possible, and turn it into an Independent Study course.

Oh, and I still wear metal t-shirts, Lisa.

The student (a girl) did find that there was some cause for concern - she ran a test using Aqua Net and some other hair products, shpritzed them on about six of those beauty salon stands with a wig on each. She used differnt combos of stuff, at different levels (a light dusting all the way up to HEAVY dousing). She used a high-speed camera to catch the action - at about a foot away from the last head FWOOSH!!! Looked like she had a hand-held flamethrower. There is, however, a time limit - the hair spray dissapates within a few minutes.

Think she got an "A".
