Mood: Have Baja Fever

[*] posted on 2-3-2014 at 12:42 AM


I am with Diana T and Barry A in saying that it was a good halftime show, no wardrobe malfunctions to lie about, just good musical talent... great fireworks, too.

Commercials? I liked the German engineers growing wings, the chihuahua hybrids, Arnold in a wig playing "tiny tennis", and the first Maserati car ad I think I have ever seen! The Cheerios girl and Clydesdale/ dog friendship ones were good too.
Edit: Forgot maybe my favorite: The Radio Shack 80's theme commercial!

I don't know. I just saw the puppy/horsey commercial as the sort of thing that appeals to people who like to send and receive hallmark cards or watch the programs that the hallmark station puts on. Not my cup of tea. I like less sugar in my tea.

PS I never watch super bowl halftime shows. I feel they interfere with the game. The game analysis is sufficient.

Rarely, rarely watch Hallmark and I am not a fan of Hallmark Cards. But I understand --- pretty sappy.

And I am just plain old sappy about puppies. :biggrin::biggrin:

I liked the Radio Shack 80s commercial. I thought the German Engineers growing wings was CREEPY.

Didn't watch the after game show. What was there to say? Seattle simply smashed Denver.

Thank God it's OVER !


Now, HBO will go back to "True Detective" on Sunday night.

The one thing that I saw was a piece of a Chrysler commercial and I was trying to figure out who the Dumpy-Looking guy was doing the narration. His voice was familiar. Thought he might be some Designer guy [like] Ralph Lauren.

I read later that it was Bob Dylan.

Who I'd thought was Dead. But, that's often true of entertainers that haven't been heard from in a long time. You Assume.

Glad to see that he's not, I guess. He actually looked better than the last time I remember seeing him 20-25 years ago.

Speaking of which, Adios Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Good actor. BAD choice.

Some marketing guy must have told Bruno Mars that a combination of James Brown and Michael Jackson would sell. He seemed very un-original to me. The band was tight; but not very melodic. This was the first time I had ever seen or heard him.


Right on Hook. B Mars was sooooo stilted and mechanical. Frankly I prefer a little sexy wardrobe malfunction to music created by people who's other job is to write commercials for fast food joints. I usually feel guilty/bad when I waste a few hours on a perfectly good Sunday afternoon watching MY team play. I really feel bad I spent a couple of hours watching bad actors last night. I'm done with the NFL.

Super Bowl 2014 will be remembered more for it's commercials rather than the lopsided game. I kept waiting for something...anything... to happen.

But glad my pick won anyway. Now to go spend it on something totally whimsical.




I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Getting Brunos mixed up


I had thought that Bruno Mars was an advertiser.

Men's apparel or something.

The wife told me he was a singer of some sort.

Then, I realized that it was Bruno Magli (OJ Shoes) that I was thinking of.

I see where the singer hasn't been around that long, but I would have thought there would have been some mention of him in the news that I would have seen.

Did anyone notice that only the male engineers at VW got wings? The only thing a female engineer got was a pat on the behind from the wing of a male colleague. German engineering at it's finest?

Jawohl, I did see it. What we witnessed was the remnants of the German ideal of womanhood, as first defined by the Kaiser and became known as the 3 K's:

"Kuche, Kirche, und Kinder" (Kitchen, Church, and Children)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder,_K%C3%BCche,_Kirche

to which his wife later added Kleider (clothing)

Or there is the much simpler Benny Hill explanation:

She had grossen ta taasen.

Hope this helps. :saint:

I COUNT MYSELF AS ONE OF THE "WINNERS"

I did not spend a nickel on gasoline and sit on a hard stool to watch a 2nd rate team play a 16th rate team to a boring blowout.

I read a good novel and used 3 hours out of my life being entertained not bored.

PATOOIE!

right on, mulegemichael, my fellow Northwesterner!

I loved the Denver Post's front page with the headline "Seasick". Yep that about sums it up!

Bruno Mars and The Red Hot Chili Peppers were amazing!

300,000+ expected for the parade tomorrow, spent all night trying to get a hotel room downtown Seattle, yeah right what a joke! Won't even be able to get into the city on parade day. Between the Washingtonians, the Oregonians, the BC Canadians, and the Idahoans, not a room in sight! The Seahawks represent so many in the Northwest!

This place is on FIRE, the whole Northwest has gone crazy! Team spirit abounds everywhere!

The Hawks deserve all the recognition they are getting, they played an awesome game and dominated out the gate!

Saw this Super Bowl 48 trivia online...

Super bowl 48: 4+8=12
The first score in the first half was 12 seconds into the game.
The first Seahawk touchdown in the second quarter was at exactly 12:00.
The first score in the second half was 12 seconds in.
Wilson's total passing yards was 206, which is the Seattle area code.
The Seahawks total score was 43. 4x3=12

the number Gods were with us, not to mention the karma Gods were smiling on us because of the last time we were in the Super Bowl and had such a crappy call. But mostly it's because the Seahawk's team and Coach just click together!

We are loud and proud, go Hawks!
