Yes. It is certainly a fleeb-filled day.

I didn't even need your G+ reminder Fleeb. In my calendar forever.

Happy Fried Fleeb Groundhog Day!

Or something like that...

Heh... Thank you, all!

Supposedly, if you ate nothing but rabbit, you'd die. They don't provide a tremendous amount of nutrition.

Neither does eggplant but that doesn't stop me from eating it.

So what was with all of that crappy football being played before and after the Madonna concert?

[#] Mon Feb 06 2012 17:02:31 EST from triLcat

no. that wasn't football. The guys were carrying the ball in their hands. Must be handball.

So hey, you catch the game last night? This giant dude in spandex pants totally threw a ball made of dead pork skin at another dude in shiny pants and then he ran super fast across a bunch of painted lines while more shiny-pant-wearing dudes chased him and leapt for his glistening spandex buttocks until he eventually crossed this other line which is apparently magical and makes the crowd stand up, bump chests, and clink bud-lights with each other. PIGGERS ARE NUMBER ONE! PIGGERS ARE GONNA GO ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR!

Balls are round. That thing is an egg. And even that term is used
loosely.

Hand-egg.

Round ball vs. other shaped ball games?

I am glad I am not the only one who just doesn't give a damn about the Superbowl.

We just used it as an excuse to watch TV while eating greasy food. Of course, when half of the household is under 12 and the entire household doesn't really care about football ... and when the game is so dull that by the second half the only team that has shown any real performance was Madonna's backup dancers, suddenly watching the game becomes less desirable than clicking the DVR over to a "Penguins of Madagascar" marathon.

We sure did enjoy those onion rings, though...

I like watching sports in person, I do not like watching sports on TV. It could be the color commentary which I find stupid, it could be I just don't like watching TV, or it could be because I have worked in television (including sports).

[#] Tue Feb 07 2012 12:07:47 EST from dothebart

hm, I dislike watching sports, except that I do it too myself. and then, yes, rather in person than in tv.

And then more non-profi sports than those who are paid.

Its simply beyound my reality, and I can't identify with a person who doesn't have a professional life next to the sports.

Sports as an addon to life and for a purpose, yes. Sports as primary purpose of life, no.

well... I guess its been me another time not testing enough (appearently...) before pushing code live.

sorry for inconvenience.

I laughed seeing the user list with the idle time listed as "fish"

sports are better on tv I think because the camera guys show you the interesting bits all in one place rather than having to look all around for it yourself.
I've noticed that at a bunch of baseball games I've been to. I don't have the instinct to know what's goin gon, so I have to watch intently and occasionally I'll look away and then I have to make an effort to figure out what happene and catch up with what's going on.
tv much better they do that for you. I hate tv, but i have to admit that they're good at what they do.

Better yet: go to the game while simultaneously watching it on your phone or some other sort of portable device. You would get to enjoy the energy of being present at the game while at the same time having a set of "smart binoculars" and also someone explaining to you what's going on. And then you don't have to miss out on the opportunity to pay $75 for a hot dog.

I have absolutely nothing to say.
