This is truly a work in progress, as I am at work...and need to make some progress on the Penske file. This post will slowly evolve as I lose my mind in this cube.
11:18am. Our Super Bowl correspondent has checked in via the tweet box - she has survived the icy Dallas weather. And speaking of the tweet box, you might want to check out this dude and this clown. Good times can be had by all.
11:29am. The search for a hot Pittsburgh fan is taking longer than I expected. This is not schtick. it shouldn't be this difficult. And since no one asked, I honestly think "Paul Revere" is my favorite Beastie Boys song of all time...
11:40am. It's apparently underboob image day...that works for me.
11:43am. Holy shit, Mike Tomlin's black? And went to William and Mary?
11:51am. A story for you all (that you have already heard me tell drunkenly a thousand times): When I was a freshman in high school I dislocated my hip, and was laid up for quite some time at home before I even got the pleasure to grab a pair of crutches and limp around school for the next six months. While bumming at home in bed, I played Super Tecmo Bowl. A lot. Finding this clip just gave me more fucked up flashbacks than Tim Robbins in Jacob's Ladder (especially the sound effects - they have a visceral effect on me):
12:09pm. Filler within filler disguised as an open thread. Someone get Christoper Nolan on the horn. "Chris. Chris. It's Marvin - your cousin, Marvin NOLAN. You know that new scifi film you're looking for? Well, check this out." What the hell is TJ talking about? "Fashion is Dumb" filler - this week's winner? Wearable Planters. I'm counting on Mark to survive his Bachelor Party weekend in Vegas so he can use this in the most *cough* creative way possible.
12:42pm. I am too lazy to go back and see what people's picks were for the game, so please just pick again in the comments. I am still waffling on my pick. Which reminds me, what's your favorite way to have hashbrowns at Waffle House? I keep it simple (as you might expect) and go "covered". Ketchup only, of course.
12:44pm. The live version of "One Of These Days" just came on Pandora. I guess working on Super Bowl Sunday really is the new Bumming Dome.
12:47pm. Hold the phone - google/Pandora is really starting to freak me out. Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode is playing now. Less than an hour after that "Back to the Future" joke. To quote the kids these days....WTF???
12:55pm. Prop betting - perhaps the funnest thing the Super Bowl has to offer. I took a quick screengrab of prop bets...we need to get a hold of Ace and Gary in Vegas to place an Official G:TB Prop Bet (should we look into trademarking our name? I hear it's the new vajazzling)
1:09pm. I'm definitely rooting for Green Bay, so I'll say 28-24 Packers...and a defensive player on the Pack ends up being MVP. I think my work here is done (literally and figuratively)...see everyone back here for the game:
And no, I do not care that one of these ladies has the wrong team colors. That's not what I'm focused on.
pretty good start for the teej here at gheorghe: the lad mag.
ReplyDeleteI'm also at work. Work sucks.
ReplyDeleteHigh Plains Drifter.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me, I saw True Grit last night. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide for whom to root. Tomlin, natch, but I'm completely not down with Roethlisberger. And the Aaron Rodgers/Greg Jennings tandem delivered my first FFL championship this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for the Pack. It's funny how the talking heads are all saying Rodgers is no longer in Favre's shadow. Whatever you think of that statement, that shadow talk gets immediately revived if Rodgers has a bad game and the Packers lose.
ReplyDeletereally torn from a rooting interest perspective. kinda just hoping for an entertaining game. 27-21, pack.
ReplyDeleteWe know Shlara has the Steelers...but did we get a score prediction?
ReplyDeleteDennis, can you post our squares numbers here? Gracias.
ReplyDeleteSTILLERS win or lose by 1 or 2. hope hope.
ReplyDeleteJust parked at the Six Flags lot. Now on a shuttle bus to Cowboy Stadium. Lovely sunny day in Dallas. They seem to think the best way to treat to roads is with sand, so the highway is a big dust bowl. Did I mention that I'm here with my mom? She's a huge Steelers fan and has been chatting with everyone in black and gold since we arrived in the city. Also have my two Vegas friends and their parents...it's like herding cats. I need a drink. No score predictions, just a win by the Steelers.
ReplyDeleteDanimal in with his wager...Michael Jack? What say you? TR and Marls? The Zman?
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall sand, not salt, used to treat snowy roads in VA. The locals feared that salt would mess up their cars. I noted that accidents are more likely to mess up cars but no one listens to me.
ReplyDeletePS. Picked up my game tix at the NFL hotel yesterday. Lots of people I probably should have recognized in the lobby and many more who wanted to be recognized. Saw some Pats fans run after Bob Kraft as he left the men's room--he kindly stokers for a photo
ReplyDeleteZman, still looks like a sandbar around here after the snow melts...
ReplyDeletefeeling for you sunday workers. what up with that?
ReplyDeleteOh and the ticket market is still insane. Our friends picked up heir 300 level seats and hour ago from a broker. Paid $2500 per and the broker wanted to buy them back immediately for $3500 each.
ReplyDeleteSerious question - would anyone sell them back, pocket the two grand and spend it all on booze and "other"?
ReplyDeleteI would.
Two more notes:
ReplyDelete1. I can't type on the iPhone
2. I'm wearing my Tribe hat to support Mike T
We will need photos for the recap post.
ReplyDeletehell yeah, i would. especially if i didn't really have a rooting interest. which, conveniently, happens to be the case in the nfl right now.
ReplyDeletesee how i did that, teej?
I'll take the Steelers. Roethlisberger will have a Ray Lewisesque transformation from accused violent felon to SB MVP. Photos of Aaron Rodgers' schlong will appear in Shlara's phone. Students in Swem will applaud Tomlin's victory for 10 seconds, and then bend back over their laptops.
ReplyDeletedammit. that response was to the teej's question.
ReplyDeletealso, tr - wolverhampton?
Speaking of seeing people, for Christmas the zfather-in-law got us tickets to see Merchant of Venice and dinner at the Four Seasons. He told the box office that I have a vision problem (which is technically true, I wear glasses) so we literally had front row dead-center tickets. Al Pacino spit all over me. If he had a dip in I would have had a flashback to 1993.
ReplyDeleteBut more importantly, yesterday was Hank Aaron's 77th birthday. I know this because he celebrated at the Four Seasons. Along with Willie Mays, Harry Belafonte, Bill Clinton, Clinton's army of body guards, and other people I probably should have recognized.
I've never been to a SB so I'm not sure what the crowd usually looks like but I have to say that there are very few corporate types here. Most people are wearing steelers and lakers gear
ReplyDeleteGo Lakers!
ReplyDeletethey were originally from minneapolis. which is near green bay. i can see it.
ReplyDeletewisconsin is woodshedding the izzos
ReplyDeleteStanding behind the fox broadcasters. Wearing black and gold. Can you see me?
ReplyDeleteHow did the iPhone change "packers" to "lakers". In line for food. Passed up a $14 bucket of popcorn for a $5 hot dog to go with my free pepsi zero
ReplyDeleteI feel like TJ giving a food report. And I wish I would have taught my mom how to text before we made this trip
ReplyDeleteAfternoon, everybody. I am back from work like my fellow loser GTBers, and ready to down a few bowls of loudmouth soup. I think the Steelers take it, 23-21, though I will probably be rooting for the Pack since the party is at an obnoxious Steelers fan's house.
ReplyDeleteIn defiance of Dave's open letter, I'm going to drink a lot tonight AND go to work bright and early tomorrow. That's right.
igor!
ReplyDeleteare ya'll in retail? foot locker? jcpenney?
ReplyDeleteI am in a cab heading to my usual SBS bar. I'm not sure what my numbers are yet, but the final is worth 65K. If I hit the final, the teej should gas up the G:TB jet and we can meet everybody in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteBattery running low. In our seats. 40 yd line on Steelers side. 400 level. We will see every play develop
ReplyDeleteWhat time does the game actually start?
ReplyDeleteLazy.
6:29 squeaks.
ReplyDelete$65k? what's the buy-in, rockefeller?
ReplyDelete/oldguylingo
I'm a sell all my guns, and with the cash I'm a bring you to Vegas.
ReplyDeleteEvening ladies. Vegas is fantastic. Tons Of Packets and Steelers fans here. I have destroyed my liver over the past two days and am about to do it all over again.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a dog in this SB fight but I do have about 20 prop bets directing various rooting interests. I also took Pittsburgh and the points last minute. Fade the public.
And, I didn't mean Packers fans. I was talking about the Digital Underground album, Sex Packets. It's huge out here.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I doubt any of you follow ?uestlove on Twitter BUT evidently The Roots just played a show at W&M, ?uest said it was the best college show they've played in 15 years. Well done, Wrens.
Declaration of Independence...long. Read by too many 'tards.
ReplyDelete1,100 rob.
ReplyDeleteSteelers 9, packers 2.
Dagger
Freaks of the Industry is my jam!
ReplyDeletelooking for a heath miller touchdown early....among other things
ReplyDeleteSometimes i think Zman is trying to make me gay for him.
ReplyDeletegive us a few of your props, mark, so we know what to root for.
ReplyDeleteI am. But Sex Packets is one of the most slept-on hiphop albums ever.
ReplyDeleteHeath Miller, over 38.5 receiving yards. One of my many props. I've decided that I should be called Prop Joe tonight.
ReplyDeleteWho Got Da Props?
ReplyDeleteStop Z, just stop it.
ReplyDeleteProps: OT (+750) only reason I bet it. Longest TD scored, 50.5, under. Roethlisberger/Kuhn-most rising yds (Kuhn). Driver rec: 3.5(over). Hines Ward rec: 3.5 (over). Mike Wallace, longest rec, 20.5 yds(over). Total packers w/ a rushing attempt: 4.5(over). James Starks, 47.5 rushing yds(under).
There you go. I expect you to root for me, rob.
Aguilera gonna hit the over for sure...
ReplyDeleteI don't think she got the word right. She said nothing about ramparts.
ReplyDeleterodgers completes first pass - missed that one;
ReplyDeletetd pass at some point; more than 272 yds; 23 completions or more; 35 attempts or more; rodgers 1st rush under 4.5 yds; no int's; 246-299 yds; a completion more than 35.5 yds; ben - 191-245 yds; 36.5 yd completion or more; heath miller 1st td; gb kicks off..
Vomit-rod.
ReplyDeleteFuck you Big Ben.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm rooting for the Pack, but I want a close game more than anything. So I'll take the TD from Ward, even though he's a dirty bitch.
ReplyDeleteI do a better axl than Fergie
ReplyDeleteWill I Am is Mike Tomlin
agreed. and that td gave me the quarter in my squares pool. pales in comparison to daddy marlsbucks, mind you.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazingly unmusical halftime performance. Why is Usher wearing MC Hammer pants?
ReplyDeletefergie appears to benefit from modern vocal modification technologies
ReplyDeleteHow do you collect a $65k payoff without alerting the IRS? If it's all cash, can you let me know when and where the payoff occurs so that I can mug you?
ReplyDeleteGuys, please back me up in this if I am right. Unbeknownst to me, the Super Bowl party I went to ended at halftime. I repeat: Ended at halftime. These people are Dave-ish faggots. Are you fucking kidding me? Please tell me if I am wrong for dropping a series of sarcastic comments and ended up at our friends' party where narcotics rule the outcome.
ReplyDeleteZman- payment is made in cash. The key to tax free pay out is not depositing said lump sums. Not that I would know, but I assume a safe deposit box is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteIgor, that is the NY Mets of superbowl parties. You should have gone upper deck and shit in their toilet tank.
ReplyDeleteIgor, good call on the narcotics party.
ReplyDeleteThe other people can rot in hell.
Really douchie Steelers fan has just started chirping. I may need to start rooting for the Pack.
ReplyDeleteMarls - you at Pete's?
ReplyDeleteThe Jones drop was as good as a turnover
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the part of the game where the Steelers get screwed over for having Shaun Shuisham as their kicker.
ReplyDeleteDoes Zman love Zombo as one of the few guys who are behind him alphabetically?
ReplyDeleteYeah, just keep making Pirates of the Carribean movies...
ReplyDeleteThe Packers have a shit-ton of white dudes on their Roster. Most white starters in the league.
ReplyDeleteA bit late on this, but Cowboys vs Aliens? Really? With Harrison Ford? Is he mailing it in for funds for his wife's bulimia issues?
ReplyDeleteZOMBO!!!
ReplyDeleteIn five minutes this entire game has changed. Because of dropsies.
ReplyDeleteSuisham.....just a bit outside.
ReplyDeleteShuisham! That was tits.
ReplyDeleteNice kick. If playing golf, that's OB
ReplyDeleteI have a zoomer for Zombo.
ReplyDeleteCowboys v. Aliens would be ok if it were tongue-in-cheek like Army of Darkness. Or if it's supposed to be a legit sci-fi flick then it needs a different name.
Eminem pimps both brisk teas and Fiats?
ReplyDeleteI want a Chrysler.
ReplyDeleteThe zwoman asks "Eminem really drives a Chrysler?"
ReplyDeleteChrysler...fuck yeah. Dee-troit rock city.
ReplyDeleteAll of the Redskins players I follow on Twitter think the Chrysler ad was awesome. They plan to buy that new car and put a Bentley grill and hood ornament on it.
ReplyDeleteThe Redskins are all losers though.
ReplyDeleteThat is correct.
ReplyDeletedid i see dan snyder in a commercial yesterday, speaking of losers/redskins...
ReplyDeleteWas it an ad for the human personification of a shit stain?
ReplyDeleteAlf is a Panthers fan?
ReplyDeleteno - haynesworth was in that one.
ReplyDeletesnyder is in an nfl fan commercial.
Yeah, that's surprising. Vicky from Small Wonder is a Texans fan I hear.
ReplyDeleteI saw Snyder in an ad for The Human Centipede Part III.
ReplyDelete3 TO's and a missed FG = no shot
ReplyDeleteI feel like Miguel had the idea for The Human Centipede during a frat meeting in '96.
ReplyDeleteJordy Nelson for MVP?
ReplyDeleteI think Alf likes the Panthers because he eats cats.
Was he the quimby?
ReplyDeleteI like my 28-24 prediction quite a bit right now...
ReplyDeleteYes, and Carles was the head.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I hear, Igor likes his lady friends to keep their crotchal region like Brett Keisel's beard.
stillers, like nkotb....hangin tough
ReplyDeleteOT, can we hope?
ReplyDeleteDiddy AND Draper in the Benz ad?
ReplyDeletewe can hope but stillers might not need it...don't want to count on your man suisham to get it into ot
ReplyDeleteCome on Ben. Just like sticking it in an unwilling coed.
ReplyDeleteOr not.
ReplyDeleteanyone else pick the packers by 6? no, just me?
ReplyDeleteand my wife won the final square. big night for the team.
The Camaro makes it all worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteBattery running low. In our seats. 40 yd line on Steelers side. 400 level. We will see every play develop
ReplyDeleteBad cell reception in the stadium. Rough loss. Some random notes since I couldn't text during the game: lots of real fans from both teams which was really cool; two d-bag Texas dudes sitting next to u were there just to see the half time show; tomlin going for two on that TD was awesome and our side went nuts; that big screen in the stadium is unreal---like you are in your living room; during a TO they showed a clips of the Bills playof game where Steve Chrisite kicked a FG to win; NFL has a major failure with the merch stands--not enough and not organized; no maps of fan fest or concourse; parking lot exit is worse than a Skins game. Still had an awesome time. Still glad I went. Still love my Steelers. Now sitting at Denny's waiting for my grand slam breakfast. The End
ReplyDeletewow igor-- even the teacher party lasted until after the game (although i was getting pretty sleepy b/c of second helping of turkey chili).
ReplyDeletemore importantly, which view is more titillating-- under boob or cleavage?
All boob is good boob.
ReplyDeleteSo sayeth the Teej.
loser of money last night, but not nearly as bad as i thought thanks to a few of those prop bets.
ReplyDeletea coworker here split a 9k square. bastard
how's igor today, and why was the douchey party even on the agenda last night?
douchey party was on the agenda so that he could complain about the people's lameness, of course.
ReplyDeleteyou twitterers out there...omgfacts has a good one today..."The Golden Douche"
