At one point I was tempted to watch Grease, but B stopped me. Actually, he threatened me with a spork in the eye if I even reached for the remote.
Posted by: DDi | February 05, 2007 at 11:37 AM
Di, I probably didn't see that one. I DO remember another one I liked. The King Crab commecial; where all of the crabs on the beach pay homage to the cooler with the two beer bottles (Bud) sticking out of the top, resembling a giant crab.

*claps wildly*
OOOooh! YES! That one was funny.
*sigh*
Too bad the frogs are gone. They were the best.

... good.
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | February 05, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Sly, the crabs were funny and I agree that I like teh "connectile dysfunction" one, but the Times was right - the violence was excessive. The "slap replacing the fist bump" was particularly bad, I thought.
DDi: Jackie watched a little of Grease in the other room, but it was mostly after the game ended.

Good morning. Did someone say coffee?
Nice final catsup Wolfie.
I looked at a couple of the commercials (via NYT) and, quite frankly, "Huh?"
Anyone want to give us the rundown of the sports?
Posted by: Kaffy (In Disguise.. With Glasses) | February 05, 2007 at 12:26 PM
crabs are never funny.

I didn't know Wolfie was into collecting POKEY MON!
Super Bowl PARTY was great. Game wasn't too bad either. Commercials, eeh.
And, I did not get to have it at Beaver.
But, I did have Beaver after the Super Bowl.

Posted by: Kaffy (In Disguise.. With Glasses) | February 05, 2007 at 02:10 PM
Me either, Di. :(
And I don't think it's very nice of Mr. Fisher to flaunt.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 05, 2007 at 02:11 PM
I agree El. How about all the moatettes gather round Fisher and make him apologize to each of us, very very nicely... you go first El.
Posted by: DDi | February 05, 2007 at 02:18 PM
Oh, and btw, I think included in the apology should be the use of either honey, or body shots, or body shots of honey. Either or.
Posted by: DDi | February 05, 2007 at 02:26 PM
dang it, I'm always lttg. Wolfie was showing off her tan lines way up there? And I missed it?!
Still, the butter is good. Is it blog butter?
Posted by: neophyte | February 05, 2007 at 02:42 PM
*gets in line for an apology*
I have been excused from jury duty.
The roll call didn't start til nearly half an hour after our scheduled start time.
At LEAST 30 or 40 chairs had to be brought in due to the crowd.
After roll call, and dismissal of about a hundred people, a question came up that seemed to apply somewhat to me, so I got in line.
And I told the judge I was the news director at the local radio station.
He pointed out I'd get the real inside scoop if I served...I then pointed out that he might not want all of that info on the news.
He agreed and dismissed me.

*waits patiently for Mr Fisher's apolo... body shots*
Not-so-good news: on Friday I woke up and I couldn't get up. All the muscles in my neck had tied into a big knot. I had to hold my neck with my hands to support my head and go call a doctor. So painful it made me cry. Now I'm much better, he gave me drugs (I was sleepy all week-end) and I have to wear a cervical collar for a few days. All in all nothing serious, but it was scary, especially when you live alone. I suppose it was stress-related.
Happy news: I have a new flat TV! It's only 15 inches wide but it looks very good compared to my 8-year-old TV, which by the way had been the least expensive of the store at the time but has done a good job until the end!
And I hope to have other happy news about a new job soon. I've had 14 job interviews in 5 weeks...

They are not happy.

The boys should thaw out March-ish.

News just in from the frozen Northwest of Missouri....the pipes have thawed and they have water.
There was something about a broken water main, 3 geysers in the front yard and a flood, but (1) they have water (b) it was the water company's fault and they called an apologized.

Google shows lots of pages of the Federal Duck in a stamp form - nothing exciting - unless one collects stamps....
However, check out page 4 posted:by!

BigD! Happy birthday!
Ahh...my glamorous life...I've given the morning show a topic for tomorrow.
The doorknob on one of the bathroom doors here was not working right...two different people, at different times, got locked in and had to have someone get them out. (They locked the door, then the knob inside just turned freely, without unlocking itself. I wouldn't think they'd have a problem if there had been no one here; I, at least, never lock the door to the bathroom if I'm here alone.)
Anyway...I took the knob off to work on it.
Apparently no one else here knew how to do that.
I also will be able to put a new doorknob on, once we get one.
Ei-yi-yi.
(Hmm, is that spelled right? You know what I mean...)

Fence report: The fence part is done. It seems whoever hung the gate (before my time) did a bad job, and it isn't even with the fence line (which I, of course, never noticed.) So the gate has been taken off, but the rest of the fence is fenced!! *Wheeee!*
Also, thanks to Susan, my fence is famous... well, in Cheraw, anyway.
(Sidenote.. spellcheck didn't like Cheraw.. it suggested Che raw and Cher aw... it recognises CHER, but not Cheraw? There's something wrong with that.)

Happy belated birthday, BigD.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 06, 2007 at 10:10 PM
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive - and still pretty sick. Thanks for all your suggestions. I've had chicken noodle soup, beef barley soup, fresh fruit, and I'm still the same sick.
Mad, I hope I follow in Weasel's footsteps and wake up tomorrow somewhat better.
My nose hurts, as does my head, my eyes are still watering, and my stomach isn't doing so great either. :(
What I haven't had, because I don't have any in the house is chocolate. I feel that a candy bar might do the trick, but alas, don't have one.
This stinks.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 06, 2007 at 10:12 PM
No chocolate in the house? For the love of pete, woman, call CG, call your friend B, call your daughter! For heaven's sake, get someone to get chocolate there STAT!!!!
Posted by: slyeyes | February 06, 2007 at 10:15 PM
OK, I've been getting caught up on the news.
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON AT NASA?!?!?!?! Sheeesh, Nutz in Space.
While NASA says her status with the space program hasn't been affected, I'm sure no one is going to want to go on a spacewalk while she's around. And now, thanks to her, whenever I think of astronauts, I now picture them in diapers. Of course, I don't often think of astronauts, so it's really no biggy.
Oh, wait. There is that one fantasy.
*fantasizes*
OK, that's now ruined.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 06, 2007 at 10:19 PM
Laynie.. I have some chocolate I'm not eating... do you want some of it?
Posted by: Kaffy (In Disguise.. With Glasses) | February 06, 2007 at 10:31 PM
birds do it, bees do it
people who work in zero-gees do it...
Posted by: insomniac | February 06, 2007 at 10:36 PM
yeah, insom, but apparently they are wearing diapers while they do it.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 06, 2007 at 10:48 PM
No one will bring me chocolate because everyone knows I'm on a diet. When my daughter came here this morning with soup and scrambled eggs with onions (which made me sick, but I digress) she said, don't look for chocolate because I didn't bring any, just sticking to your plan....
I guess they don't know about the "sick" exemption.
I'm going to bed now. I've been sitting up for 20 minutes.
*slugs out*
Posted by: Eleanor | February 06, 2007 at 10:55 PM
Laynie, I'm dieting... they're only small bits of chocolate (less than 1oz..) I've got the ones in the red wrapper, it's dark choc. Blue is milk choc, and white is white choc (naturally!) Last time I had one, I got the shakes because I've been avoiding sugar and caffeine. It was really tasty, but I think I could have done with about half, rather than the whole thing
Posted by: Kaffy (In Disguise.. With Glasses) | February 06, 2007 at 11:19 PM
{{{El}}}
I'm not feeling so hot myself. I felt kind of ill at lunchtime...but it passed. Then this afternoon I started various, erm, gassy problems at both ends, which stress can do...no big deal, it will pass, but also felt ill. Very ill...which isn't normal for that.
It was bad enough to the point that when Whitt and I were finishing up in here, cleaning up our clutter, etc, he commented that I looked like I wasn't feeling too good. Hmmm...in an enclosed space, burping in a rather foul manner (and trying to subdue it) and trying to not get sick...I guess I didn't look too healthy.
So what did I do? Took a nap after supper (and felt better til I got up again) and watched Boston Legal...and now have to record the news.
Blergh...
