I remember really LMAO at those-many years ago-not any more. I don't think it's because I may have gotten a little grumpy; I think it's because modern writers, in general, suck.

The half time show was good. It's nice to have musicians that can perform without gyrating like an animal being tortured, or a psycho sex freak, or an exhibitionist.

Status: offline 		So here's a question: what, technically, qualifies as a "Super Bowl commercial"? Yesterday I followed a link from CNN.com to Time.com to find that their entertainment guy Jim Ponawhatever (with whom I served on the Michigan Daily while in college) reviewed every single one of them. Thing is, I hadn't seen about a third of them. I turned on the game in time for kick-off, and watched until the post-game was over. So obviously, some of those commercials aired during pre-game. So when did those commercials start? An hour before? Half hour? Personally, I think that if it airs before the coin toss it doesn't count.

You're a German -- what the hell does your country know about good beer?

I agree. All the beer you need to drink is produced north of the English Channel, west of the North Sea and east of Great Blasket Island. Should push comes to shove, I can happily survive off the beer produced only in Dublin.

I'll admit that Germans can make a fairly decent beer. My Holiday beer is Spaten Pills. However, Bud stacks up well against most others from around the world. It is beyond my understanding how someone can consume a dark, bitter brew at piss warm temperatures, and call that beer-and a superior beer at that.

Wow Marc I can't believe I agree with you. Bud is awful tasting beer and always gives me a headache hangover. Now Corona with lime is my beer of choice or a good ole Falstaff or Jax beer. hehe I betcha most of you can't find a Falstaff or Jax beer those were one of my first ever beer tastes. ;)

ANyway, Case in point, hehe, had some local colorado brewed bear and just seemed off, then I realized why. Fresh brewed really does make a difference. especially in the non pasturized beers, now where is the MAtrix beer festival?

The half-time show sucked. Tom Petty's voice almost literally makes me ill. How he ever made a dime singing I will never know.
