Somebody just told there’s some kind of sportsball event going on, so I thought I’d launch an open thread toward the end zone.

A really stupid taunting penalty as well. Did it right in front of the coach as well.
Jeez, I swear. Two different buddies got all in a pout til I said they could come over to watch the game that I hadn’t even wanted to watch and neither one has shown up yet. Made a pot roast and everything. Grrrr.

The Kitten Bowl is on the Hallmark Channel and the Puppy Bowl is on Animal Planet.
As usual, they are the most exciting events of the day.

Puppy Bowl is being reran again and again and again. That was disappointing. Needz MOAR doges.
Even if I wanted to watch the Super Bowl, I can’t. Verizon ‘fixed’ my TV service on Wednesday by literally knocking out or pixelating 65% of my channels.
Pro tip: before the tech leaves, makes sure all the channels work, not just the ones you reported the problem on. Don’t wait six hours later when you finally sit down to watch TV.
I guess we can expect Ben Carson to cite the Ninja Turtles in the next debate, you know, since Michael Bay makes historically precise documentaries
re: #44 Brian J.
“Realistic” is not a word in Bay’s vocabulary.

Coldplay has a few songs that are not offensive and stay with you a bit but, imho, they are light years away from being a huge deal.

Wasn’t always like that - the NFL just instituted the ‘pay to play’ rules a couple of years ago. I’d wager Prince and others got paid pretty well for their appearances in years past.

I don’t think he will. He’s terrified of being raped in prison. He seems to think he - they - have a way out of there with no charges, which isn’t going to happen.
I think if you’re an established act with a good track record, a 20 minute set doesn’t work for you.
All these turnovers in the first half are making me want to go, buy, and then bake some apple turnovers. Mmmm turnovers.
C’mon long half time show!

With all the peripheral crap that goes on ,it’s not even 20 minutes. More like 5-10.

Has anyone noticed that our political “debates” have been a bit, well, light on the science content of the questions?
The Republicans have had 7 or 8 “debates”, the Democrats fewer but they’ve had 3 town-hall-like thingies. Very absent from all of those are questions based on scientific research, on any topic, from say the last 100 years.

Google her performing I Kissed A girl at the Grammys. That was the first time I saw her. I like that song, but good god, she was bad, bad live.
She could be sweet as pie (which I would appreciate, lots of famous people are entitled assholes), but I’m purely talking voice and nothing more.

re: #159 CuriousLurker
Saved this! Thank you for posting this link!
I wonder how all these hyper-religious Americans justify to themselves their love of sportsball?
[…]
There are a number of references to sport and games in the writings of the Early Church Fathers. Tertullian, for example, commented: ―In times past, equestrian skill was simply a matter of riding on horseback, and certainly no guilt was involved in the ordinary use of the horse. But when this skill was pressed into the service of the games it was changed from a gift of God into an instrument of demons.
Baker notes that Tertullian insisted, that the Roman Games had originated as pagan festivals encouraged immoral gambling and prostitution and thrived on a cruel misuse of God’s creation by God’s creatures.”
Tomás Bolaño says that the earliest Christians understood that these athletic practices kept the content of pagan religions, already superseded by Christian spirituality.
[…]
Philip Stubbes (c1555 - c1610), saw football as a friendly kind of fight and this murthering play and wondering about the appropriateness of football for Christians, asking “Is this a Christian dealing for one brother to mayme and hurt another and that upon prepensed malice and set purpose?” Mason’s assessment is that the Christian conscience played a significant role in changing attitudes to football and that ―the final nail in the coffin of rough football probably lay in the attitude of so many evangelicals towards games.
Dennis Brailsford has argued that we owe a debt to the Puritans as they were the first Christians to think seriously about sport, even if most of their thoughts about sport were negative. Brailsford further comments on the state of modern sport that ―the foul language, obscene chanting, overt racism and physical violence found in some crowds is exactly the mass behaviour which the whole Puritan tradition rejected.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Let’s dispel with this fiction that Coldplay don’t know what they’re doing. They know exactly what they’re doing.

re: #194 Schroedinger’s Dog
If you’re into British series - I’ve just finished watching season 2 (minus the Christmas special) of Dectorists. A short season and only 30 minute episodes, but I find it just the right amount of wry humor.
Wife just said the sweetest words to my ears. I know I’m getting old because they were “I think I’m going to make some coffee” and not “Take me back to the bedroom, tear my clothes off and make sweet love to me.”
You know you’re getting old when your wife says “Let’s run upstairs and make love.” and your response is “I cannot do both”

re: #173 freetoken
From “The more things change” folder -
Football is taxpayer-subsidized knighthood. Rich lordlings donning armor and smashing into one another for fun and profit? Even the acceptance of rape and pillage is still there, albeit toned down a little bit (just keep it off the field, boys, and remember to say she was asking for it). It’s only a bit more structured and less openly cruel than Roman games, but Christianity’s chief feature is hypocrisy IMO, so we overlook these things.
As the Byzantines noted a thousand years ago, western Christians didn’t have any problem with waging war against anything that moved, so a watered-down version of feudal armored war isn’t going to trouble the masses much. No connecting the dots allowed.
I appreciate athletics, team sports, and a good running play as much as any red-blooded human male, but I’ve lived in Texas way too long to see football as innocent.

Unless one of his lawsuit opponents makes a conscious effort to destroy him financially or ensure that punishments are applied equally, he’s going to be with us for decades. Once he clears this lawsuit business and grows enough brains to find a niche in the right-wing welfare state, he’s going to keep on groovin’, unless society changes in a way he can’t match.

re: #354 Eric The Fruit Bat
How much do you wanna bet that all the talk about going overseas is to incorporate offshore in an attempt to avoid litigation and keep government (and law enforcement) eyes off of financial transactions? offshorecorporation.com
re: #356 CuriousLurker
I seriously doubt he has any assets that need protection-and I think that quitclaim he performed last year was meant to protect him should things go south against his in pro per filing against Gawker. As far as his other exposure involving CMP, well, who knows what’s happening-he might be named an accessory with the RICO suit against Daldien, which could make things interesting.
re: #357 Eric The Fruit Bat
Oh, I also don’t think he has any current assets worth protecting, but if he has indeed found some bottom-feeder looking for political operatives with zero ethics who nonetheless doesn’t want their name (or their candidate’s name) directly linked to the likes of CCJ & company, then they might be insisting on offshore incorporation.
Anyway, who knows? Who cares, really? It was just a random thought—he & his new BFF aren’t the type of people I want to dwell on for any length of time.

I’ve heard that there are some in China (and chinese influenced areas in SEA) that have been hoping for the new year for the birth of their children. Is the Monkey really that much more auspicious than the Ram?
Monkeys are supposed to be clever, and there is the association with the Monkey King from the take Journey to the West. Although Ram is one word associated with the past year, it can also be translated as sheep or goat (羊) because it’s a class of animals, not a species. So, sheep/goat/ram births are associated with meekness and being just a bit dull (or stubborn, YMMV).
Dragon year is the primo choice, so there was a big rush to get those kids aborned before the year ended. Heh.

March FavoritesYou've seen these all already but looking back, just because. These are my favorite shots of this last month. That 1937 Zeiss Sonnar is such a gloriously wonderful bit of glass. Thanks for looking.
