    My kid almost choked on his dinner over the Doritos ‘Snowglobe’ commercial and laughed for the next five minutes. What is it with boys and genitalia?

  • veralynn

    that was a great play by 89

  • jane

    I enjoyed the not-so-subtle message of anarchy conveyed by the smashing of the vending machine.Something something, man’s inhumanity to man.

  • GItheScholar

    FUCK!!!! Good Play Though!!

  • GItheScholar

    I want to preform open heart surgery with a ball point pen. I did it once to a soldier of mine in Iraq and it didn’t turn out well. Plus I was using a KABAR.

  • veralynn

  • Kat

    The brothers may hurt me, but I’m glad the Cards scored. Blow-outs are sooooo boring to watch.

  • jane

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    What’s Bruce singing? Dirt Devil in the freezer aisle?

  • gypsysoul

    OMG! what i wouldn’t give to have been that camera lens!

  • SillyGit

    Suicide Kings is on IFC.

  • gypsysoul

    CARL, I WILL MURDER YOU DEAD! KEEP IT UP AND SEE!

  • GItheScholar

    Kat,Yes, I praise the lord every time I get “SOME” and football. It is amazing how much I praise the lord’s name or use it in vein during “SOME”.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Gyps, is there any other type of murder other than dead? This is one of the better halftime shows in a while.

  • gypsysoul

    i think it is just about time for him to have a mid-life crisis with me! yep. yipper-ru.

  • veralynn

    better than the stones, and i love the stones

  • gypsysoul

  • GItheScholar

    Who is this Bruce guy?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Yeah, vera… but the Stones halftime show kinda sucked. It wasn’t well produced.

  • gypsysoul

    GI, i went easy on you with mellencamp! don’t push iti will karate chop your balls! where is your girlfriends purse?! hahaha

  • GItheScholar

    Sorry!!@!!But the karate chop to the balls sound great.

  • veralynn

    true Carl, very trueshoulda been the motown family that year, being in Detroit and allbut still, who would think they woulda sucked as much?

  • Kat

    I’m getting the feelin’ that we got us some drunk peoples in the hizzy.

  • veralynn

    speaking of Kat, GI you figure out the dog getting beer yet?

  • SillyGit

    GI the MasochistNext he’ll be demanding a whipping and one of those black leather ensembles.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    And the Stones played two songs if I remember correctly. They blew it with Paul McCartney the following year as well. Then they finally had a good act with Prince and flipped out over the Great Faux Silhouette Devil Penis Scare of 2007, so they went to the Crypt Keeper, Tom Petty last year.

  • jane

    Git, I’ll handle that.

  • jane

    So to speak.

  • Alan4s

    Best half-time show ever. Bruce IS the Boss.

  • veralynn

    I thought it was 3 or 4 Carl, but I have a really bad memory after my 22nd year, ask me about crap before 22, I can give you serious details, but after, not so muchI liked Tom Petty, can’t look at him though, but love his songsPrince was good

  • Kat

    I love Tom Petty, but his halftime show sucked. Gotta give it to Bruce, he put on a damn good show.

  • Kat

    And of course, they’ll never ask anyone under the age of 50 to play halftime again out of fear they may start disrobing.Speaking of which, Jane, isn’t Joe’s outfit the one you have posted on MyFace?

  • jane

    No comment. Heh.

  • GItheScholar

    BULLSHIT!!!

  • gypsysoul

    guys, non-ritz bj just texted me that springsteen just entered the box next to his! i am in a full sweat over this news!i told him to get over there and flirt with his wife. my “operation split them up” may finally be happening!!!

  • SillyGit

    Bruce (and the E Street Band) have always been outstanding showmen. I think that their live performances are better than their studio work. They feed off the audience’s vibes and work their asses off in reponse. (That’s why they don’t sit down much.)

  • GItheScholar

    KURT WARNER IS A MOTHERFUCKER!!!WHAT A BITCH!!!!*Um, Excuse me Mr. Referee but I was throwing the football when that kind gentleman hit me unnecessarily*FUCKING PUSSY!!!

  • veralynn

    they better not be fucking up “escape to witch mountain”, that was one of my favorites growing up!

  • veralynn

    breathe GI, breathe

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Damn, GI. I know you’re all YAY STEELERS and all, but that was the right call.

  • GItheScholar

    FUCK OFF CARLTHIS IS THE SUPERBOWL ALL RULES ARE STEELER”S RULES

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    That roughing the passer penalty hoever, was a bullshit call.

  • veralynn

    agreed Carl

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Yeah, but you don’t want to win cause you get an advantage on a bad call, do you, GI?

  • GItheScholar

    YUP!!!

  • veralynn

    miller shoulda hung onto that, he woulda been right in

  • jane

    Joe, eat a Chihuahua and take a smoke break.

  • GItheScholar

    Yes’am

  • jane

    Right after this possession, of course

  • jane

    Maybe you shoulda already gone.

  • GItheScholar

    FUCKING IMPOTENT BASTARDS!!!!!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I know it can take the paint of a car and rust off a bolt, but I can’t do without Coke.

  • veralynn

  • gypsysoul

    coconut lime margarita! DO IT! JUST DO IT!

  • veralynn

    THAT is a great commercial!!(the coke one)

  • GItheScholar

    GOLD COMMERCIAL AWESOME!!! MORE BEER!!!

  • veralynn

    :( I am out of beer

  • GItheScholar

    FUCK!!!!!

  • SillyGit

    Coke contains phosphoric acid which is what gives it its tooth dissolving and rust and paint removal properties.We used to put coke in a watering can and sprinkle it on stage floors (hardwood) to give better traction and avoid falling on one’s ass when performing. Many stage floors are slippery because of the finish and waxing. R&R musicians seldom wear gym shoes.

  • veralynn

    yeah but git it is good!!

  • gyps

    alec! AWESOME!

  • jane

    Oh Git, et tu a Theatre person?

  • theo

  • Redmond

  • http://broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    GI – If I were in your shoes, I would’ve been worse, my PTT friend. It’s all good. I was just pushing your Steeler buttons to get those awesome responses, and I wasn’t disappointed.

  • veralynn

    close your eyes theo!!

  • theo

    I am going to die laughing. I will pass out, my heart will fail, and I will die with an alarming, Joker-esque smile on my face.

  • http://broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

  • http://broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Is it my imagination or did Helen Hunt star in an Afterschool Special?

  • Mike H.

    holy crap, jane.

  • veralynn

    nope Carl you are correct, jim carrey did too I thinkI think both were about teenage drinking and drugs

  • jane

    The shorter list would be who didn’t star in an After School Special.

  • gypsy

    mike, jane’s answer is yes! she will take that ride! hehe…(not hehe if that offended you!) but “i’ll take that ride” by betty davis is one of my favorites! she brings the raw sexy in that song!

  • GItheScholar

    Teh IPhone scares me!What is next it will tell me what women I can date?*IPHONE says, stay away from Jane**She will eat your soul with a nice red wine*

  • http://broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I think both were about teenage drinking and drugs

  • gypsy

    Gyps – jars?… Vomit jars?

  • theo

    I remember the vomit jars!

  • veralynn

    thank god I don’t remember that one!

  • http://broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Oh, The God! I’m glad I am old enough NOT to remember the vomit jars.

  • gypsy

    yep! vomit jars in the closest that looked like vegetable soup! i have to block that damn image out every winter!

  • jane

    Was that Jennifer Jason Leigh as a bulimic?

  • http://broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Every winter? Why? Do you keep preserves?

  • gypsy

    wasn’t calista flockhart in that one! i really do have to block those jars out of my mind! as in LET’S STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!

  • Mike H.

    Any Cescan lady who wants to take a ride is more than welcome.

  • http://broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Sorry, Gyps. I won’t mention the vegetable soup vomit jars anymore. It’s actually pretty digusting that they would actually show vomit jars in those specials. Maybe that’s why they died out. The jumped the vomit jar shark…………. Vomit jars.

  • gypsy

    just eating the veggie soup makes me gaggie in mi boca!

  • SillyGit

    jane said: Oh Git, et tu a Theatre person?I was in 2 plays in High School, and one in College.Much more time on stage as a musician. French Horn, Guitar, Harmonica, and Vocals.I was pretty good at French Horn, Harmonica and Vocals, mediocre on guitar.As an actor, I was not very good.

  • gypsy

    mike, can i call you the lone ranger?! hehe…again this reference only works if you know the song! but i am always up for a ride! what. did i say that out loud. disregard… ;)

  • gypsy

  • veralynn

    gypsy, I was first chair from 5th – 8th grade, until jennifer came and she played the piccilo, bummed me out. I still have my 80′s current songs for flute. rocked some journey if i recall correctly

  • gypsy

    i am the queen of mary had a little lamb! =)

  • jane

    Ooh, I love French Horn. (I also played the flute, Gyps.)But Git, Carl and Packy will tell you I fucking hate actors, so don’t feel bad for not being one.

  • Mike H.

    gypsy: yes you can.

  • veralynn

    last time i played, i could barely get through a scale!! maybe it is like riding a bike

  • jane

    Vera and Gyps, we should gang up and play this. Makes a great flute trio.

  • SillyGit

    I’ve always been a sucker for female woodwindists. I had interesting times with oboe, clarinet, and flute players. The cellist I was interested in was too shy. Perhaps I was frightening to her.

  • gypsy

    haha…we know how those french horn guys are! make musical magic with you and then leave you in the morning! hehe…nite guys

  • SillyGit

    Nite gypsy.

  • emsique

    Super Bowl in China:Hey, it was on! The first thing you notice is the announcers–It’s John Mandarin and Al Macao! There is woman who also adds some comments. It’s also 7:30 in the morning, and instead of beer, guacamole, onion dip, brats, burritos, jalapenos, beer, shots of tequila, nachos, beer, bong hits, beer, chili, beer, and cheese platter, I’m eating noodles and green tea. The commercials are baaaad Chinese ads, but there are far fewer, so you see the players standing around a lot while there is some hilarious Bud Light commercial going on back home. They start showing highlights of the Cards and Steelers from previous games this season instead. No problem! The crowd noise is turned down a lot, so you lose the excitement there, but since I don’t understand much of what the announcers are saying, it’s a fair trade. I am amazed at how much I don’t miss the sage comments of Madden, et al who are incredibly knowledgeable, but hey let’s just watch the damn game!Hey look! The Cardinals look pretty damn good! Go defense, go Kurt Warner, my favorite Jesus freak quarterback. Makes that steel curtain look kind of lacey, and maybe Jesus does love the Cardinals, until….WTF!!!!! Did Jesus just make you throw that stupid pass right to that Steeler and cause him to walk on water all the other way?? Buddha would never have allowed that, Kurt. Find a new God.Halftime–It’s Bruuuuuuce! Best halftime ever. Should have been about an hour and a half longer.Second half: Great football! And NO COMMERCIALS AT ALL!!!!! The only bad part about that is the Cardinal highlights they keep showing involve the Cards pulling out a giant can of Whupass on my Seahawks, completing zillions of passes against this season’s Swiss cheese defense. Jesus almost loves Kurt, then finally the Steelers go: Shit! We suck! Help us, Buddha! Buddha imparts his wisdom to the ox like Rothlisberger and since it is the year of the Ox, the Steelers prevail with a bitchin’ drive. At least they won this Bowl legitimately, not like their last Super Bowl “victory” over my Seahawks that was aided and abetted by HORRIBLE officiating, including a Steeler non touchdown, and a non offensive pass interference which nullified a Seahawk touchdown.Super Bowl over. It’s 11:00 am I am stone cold sober, and it is 70 degrees outside! Great game, although I don’t think my wife was that impressed. Oh well!

  • Teh Minx

    Hey Emisque! I think that qualifies you as the winner of the longest PTT post ever!!! Wahooo!!!
