Super Bowl Party!

[BookstoreEscapee]

I did a little straightening up while I watched the Puppy Bowl, then I picked up some dinner and came to my parents' house to do laundry. So I'm on the couch with my computer, reading, chatting, and checking laundry between commercials.

Also, what was going on with that halftime show? That's what we in the theatre world call "A Hot Mess."

Guns n' Peas? What the hell?

I think "hot mess" is a prerequisite for Super Bowl halftime shows.

The longest 2 minutes and 10 seconds of my life starts now.

Yay Packers!!!!

[Gibbo]

I still find it strange that the trophy is given to the owner first rather than the players.

[Becks]

Not a football fan, much less a Packers fan, current residence notwithstanding...

Judging by the fireworks - at least, I HOPE those are fireworks I'm hearing - I think the Packers won.

(I don't know...don't have the TV on...I don't much care, except that when I go on Facebook in a few, my news feed will be bombarded.)

(.)

yes those WERE indeed fireworks --- preplanned at 10:45p along with a BIG rally IF the Packers won the Superbowl. A little closer to you than me. I got off work before they started so I did not get to see them. people though were shooting off stuff at 9pm just after the game ended.

you should have seen the line of cars circling the stadium. the cops had all of the streets (read where the 4 major bars are) around the stadium closed off. and the fans were dancing/partying in the streets.

I went to the bowling alley and had all the free soda and junk food I could eat.

And now my pants don't fit.

I'm watching the game at home in England where it is currently 2am. But if you can't stay up on Super Bowl night when can you?

My little sister, a diehard football fan who lives in England, takes the day after the Super Bowl off every year so that she can stay up Super Bowl night and watch the game live. Her current stated mission is to convert every Brit into an NFL fan, even if she has to do it one at a time. Judging by some facebook chatter I saw on her page, she may have gotten one more convert yesterday.

Guns n' Peas? What the hell?

I actually thought that that was the best part of the half time show. Slash came out, and my jaw dropped, as that was the last thing I was expecting. Especially funny because I had been telling the guy next to me at the bar during the pregame when some wussy whiney band was playing that the NFL should have more ROCK on Super Sunday, and yeah, I looked forward to the Black Eyed Peas, but give me rock any day.

And then motherfucking Slash shows up and jams with the Peas. And Fergie just absolutely nailed it on Sweet Child. (Doesn't hurt that she is one hot momma.)

Slash at the half time show, playing to the world. Axl had to be pissed.

If by nailed it, you mean, "screeched like a cat with its tail caught under a rockingchair", then yes, she nailed it. They should have gotten rid of all the other performers and just had Slash do the whole thing.

[Jester]

I beg to differ. I thought she did a great job on it.

As for screeching, have you HEARD the original version with Axl? Just saying.

(In my defense, as always, I may be wrong, and by the time half time rolled around, Little Red and I were in our 2nd or 3rd bucket of beer....)

[EricKei]

My crew compared here performance unfavorably with a certain performance of Madonna's from some time back...

What I wanna know is, why did they all but MUTE Slash's guitar once she started screeching?!

I'm surprised nobody thus far has mentioned Christina Aguilera's first-class botch job on the National Anthem.

She couldn't have done worse if she was Leslie Nielsen in that one Naked Gun movie. At least Roseanne Barr knew all the words.

She was awful. She screwed up badly and over did it quite a bit. They should've had the girl who performed before her sing it instead.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

And Fergie just absolutely nailed it on Sweet Child. (Doesn't hurt that she is one hot momma.)

And she did, in that she remembered all the words.

Otherwise I found her performance to be a credit to the sound engineer's art.

I'll take Christina Aguilera singing the wrong words over Roseanne Barr singing the right words any day of the week. And not just because I'd prefer the one sitting in my lap to the other, either.
