The Pittsburgh Steelers win another fixed Super Bowl! That's usually how the dirtiest team in football does it.<br /><br />Love how the Steelers hold on nearly every other play and never got called on it.<br /><br />Love how the refs conveniently didn't call a penalty on the Steelers player who thought he was LeBron James and was using the ball like a prop, a la "the chalk," after a touchdown. That should have been a 15-yard penalty. <br /><br />Love how one camera angle clearly shows that the Steelers guy (I don't care about his name, because he can...well, that's going too far) never touched his second foot down on that last touchdown, and yet, of course, the call goes their way.<br /><br />Love how the announcers show NO OBJECTIVITY and are clearly Steelers fans.<br /><br />Love how Kurt Warner got called for a fumble on that last play, even though HE WAS CLEARLY THROWING THE BALL FORWARD, making it an incomplete pass that should have still been the Cardinals ball.<br /><br />Love how James Harrison, "Mr. 'Defensive Player of the Year'" was BEATING on that Cardinals player like he was a UFC fighter or something. Fucker should have been THROWN OUT OF THE DAMN GAME. Sorry, punching on a guy when he's down, then he gets up, and then punching him back down? AFTER THE PLAY!!! COME ON. <br /><br />But, dirty behavior is par the course for the Steelers. <br /><br />Interesting enough, here's the blog entries I posted the last time the Pittsburgh Thugs won the Super Bowl. (Note who I wanted to play half-time in 2006, and who played it in 2009?)<br /><br />From <a href="http://hereonturtleisland.blogspot.com/2006/02/steelers-vs-seahawks.html">MONDAY, FEBRUARY 06, 2006</a>:<ul> ...I haven't been this disappointed by a defeat since that putz Kerry blew the presidential election. I'm not much of a Seahawks fan, but as a Northeast Ohioan, it's my duty to root for anyone <i>but</i> the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can bet everyone I watched the game with was in Browns gear. I find it interesting that every damn call went to the Steelers, even a v. questionable "touchdown" by them in the first half.<br /><br />I want to work for Budweiser. Their commercials were all ace. Cute or hilarious and positively clever, all of them.<br /><br />All Super Bowl commercials can be found <a href="http://www.ifilm.com/superbowl?htv=12">here</a>. My three favorites, in order:<ul><a href="http://origin.www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2691844">Budweiser: Clydesdale American Dream</a><br /><br /><a href="http://origin.www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2691702">Budweiser: Wave</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2691701">Budweiser: Secret Fridge</a></ul>Do you know what needs to stop? Damn washed up, old British "rockers" playing the effing <I><B>Super Bowl</i></b>. Last year Paul McCartney and this year the Rolling Stones? No. Just no. Having the Rolling Stones was especially an insult to Detroit, the home of Motown. Mick Jagger needs to just die already. ("He is dead. Don't you know it's just someone pulling the strings?" -- said by a friend of the Brother's). Mick Jagger's "dancing" makes me want to vomit. Get effing Bon Jovi or <B>The Boss</b> to play, man. Get people to perform at the Super Bowl who actually know what the hell football is and who could actually still even hold a damn football.</ul>From <a href="http://hereonturtleisland.blogspot.com/2006/02/sport-rivalries.html">TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 07, 2006</a>:<ul>I love the hijinks of rival fans. <br /><br />This weekend me, my brother, and some of his classmates went to the Kent State vs. Akron basketball game. Not only is Akron our biggest rival, but before this weekend, we both also happened to be tied for first place. Needless to say, it was a big game. I was worried for a bit, but we won 63-57. Woot. Good effing game. Crowd of 6500+. That's over sell-out.<br /><br />That Akron. They think they are so clever. A bunch of Akron students (read: 180 of them) tried to pose as KSU students. They all came to the game wearing blue Kent shirts and tried to sit in our student section. The ticket people were wise, though, because they knew that KSU students always wear the gold, not the blue. So they made them change seats.<br /><br />I, however, had never really been to a game and didn't know this. I saw all of these students in blue shirts cheering Kent, and then after the first time-out, I saw that these students were all cheering for Akron. I was, like, wtf, did I imagine them cheering for Kent earlier? No. During the time-out they had switched their shirts inside out, and they now read things like "Can't Read, Can't Write, Can't Beat Us" etc. (Kent/Can't, right? They didn't invent that.) But we did beat them. So there.<br /><br />Rivalries are fun. When the Akron players' names were read, our band all pretended to read newspapers. It was funny.<br /><br />As a treat, I will share some more rivalries. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.harvardsucks.org/">Harvard University Says: "We Suck."</a>--A group of Yale students hijack a Harvard game when they display placards that spell out "WE SUCK" instead of the traditional "GO HARVARD."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cleveland.com/sports/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/1139243404131210.xml&coll=2&thispage=1">"Steelers fans roam free inside Browns territory."</a>--The Browns vs. Pittsburgh rivalry is the stuff of legend. A friend asked me if it were acceptable for a Browns fan to root for the Steelers during the Super Bowl, and I told her ABSOLUTELY NOT. If any Browns fan did, move out of the state. Now. All of these Pittsburgh fans are coming out of the woodwork now that they've "won" the Super Bowl, though. This article talks about Pittsburgh fans hanging out in Cleveland bars. <br /><br />Here's the most relevant excerpt, that cracks me up (Potopski is a Steelers fan): <ul><i>Miller, the waitress, came by with a round of drinks for Potopski's table.<br /><br />"They're from a Browns fan," she said.<br /><br />"Ah, vodka," said Potopski, raising his glass in a rare display of Browns-Steelers friendship.<br /><br />He took a sip.<br /><br />"This isn't vodka, it's water," he said. "Yep, that's a Browns fan for you."</i></ul>YEAH, PUNK. That <i>is</i> a Browns fan for you. So you were HANDED a Super Bowl win by the OFFICIALS who had Terrible Towels in their pockets instead of yellow flags. Whoopdedoo. Why don't you get the hell out of this state, ya damn traitors?<br /><br /><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2295619">"Browns fan who ran onto field in jail for Super Bowl"</a>--"The fan who ran onto the field at Cleveland Browns Stadium during a Steelers-Browns game was sentenced Tuesday to spend Super Bowl weekend in jail."

No googling/IMDb searching when guessing<br />5. Guess all the ones you know even if someone already guessed it (but don't read their answers to get your answers - that's cheating). Everyone who guesses the movie will get their name by the quote. The person with the most correct guesses out of the 15 wins.<br />6.

You didn't even have to think about it, did you? <br /><br />(Note: It was hard to pick one quote from this movie!

If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."<br /><br />4. "It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. She's fast enough for you, old man. What's the cargo?"<br /><br />5. "How do I look? I mean, do I look Amish?" <br /><br />6. "Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest so long as I live on! I killed you. Haunt me, then! Haunt your murderer! I know that ghosts have wandered on the Earth. Be with me always. Take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this dark alone where I cannot find you. I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul."<br /><br />7. "You're mistaken, Mr. Darcy. The mode of your declaration merely spared me any concern I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner. You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it. From the very beginning your manners impressed me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit and your selfish disdain for the feelings of others. I had not known you a month before I felt you were the last man in the world whom I could ever marry!"<br /><br />8. Character #1: "Jesus is never mad at us if we live with Him in our hearts!" <br />Character #2: "I hate to break it to you, but He is - He most definitely is."<br /><br />9. "Your son has been pretending to be a substitute teacher, lecturing the students, uh, giving out homework, uh. Mrs. Glasser has been ill, there was some confusion with the real sub. Your son held a teacher-parent conference yesterday and was planning a class field trip to a French bread factory in Trenton."<br /><br />10. "No! I'm madly in love with you and it's not because of your brains or your personality." <br /><br />11. "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage."<br /><br />12. "Of course I have a secret identity. I don't know a single superhero who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?"<br /><br />13. "Good. Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But, until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day."<br /><br />14. "I killed two people. One was...yesterday? He was just a boy and I led him into quicksand. The other was...well, before Aqaba. I had to execute him with my pistol, and there was something about it that I didn't like." <br /><br />15. "Neighbors bring food with death, and flowers with sickness, and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a knife, and our lives."iWomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03602049874047411452noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15192117.post-40306221031319153842009-01-11T19:37:00.009-05:002009-01-11T19:43:24.398-05:00Books Read, 2009.I do enjoy keeping lists, so perhaps this little table will inspire me to actually <i>finish</i> a book this year.<table border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#CEB28B" align="center"><b><font color="#52260B"><font size="1.5">Finished</font></font></b></td><td bgcolor="#CEB28B" align="center"><b><font color="#52260B"><font size="1.5">Book Title</font></font></b></td><td bgcolor="#CEB28B" align="center"><b><font color="#52260B"><font size="1.5">Author</font></font></b></td><td bgcolor="#CEB28B" align="center"><b><font color="#52260B"><font size="1.5">Genre</font></font></b></td><br /><td bgcolor="#CEB28B" align="center"><b><font color="#52260B"><font size="1.5">Pages</font></font></b></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><font size="1.5">In Progress</font></td><td align="center"><font size="1.5"></font>Song Yet Sung</td><td align="center"><font size="1.5"></font>James McBride</td><td align="center"><font size="1.5"></font>?</td><td align="center"><font size="1.5"></font>?</td></tr></table>iWomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03602049874047411452noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15192117.post-91491327250813904832009-01-10T17:09:00.002-05:002009-01-10T17:13:09.811-05:00If you have the Tiger version of Mac OS X, I would strongly suggest not using <a href="http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html">OnyX</a>.<br /><br />Both times I tried to use, it effed up my computer, giving me an error and "invalid node structure" every time I ran Disk Utility. <br /><br />The first time, I had to wipe everything off my computer and start clean.<br /><br />This time, I'm trying to get <a href="http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html">Disk Warrior</a> and see if it can do anything.

The Celtics want to foul him and hope he misses so they can catch up.<br /><br />They go on to do this <i>four more times</i>.<br /><br />Wallace makes five out of the 10 free throws. We'll take that. Cavs gets the rebound on one of the misses, and LeBron makes a basket. (Although, on one of the fouls, LeBron had just made a three pointer, so it didn't count.)<br /><br />But, come. One time, okay. Doing it five times? Four of them for four Cavs' possessions in a row? That is bullshit. <br /><br />Celtics, you have no class. <br /><br />("The chant here in Cleveland is 'overrated.'" - announcer on ESPN)<br /><br />Cavs, 98<br />Celtics, 83iWomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03602049874047411452noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15192117.post-80032760381599742292009-01-08T23:36:00.003-05:002009-01-08T23:47:31.148-05:00These bowl games should be played on neutral turf. <br /><br />It's bullshit that, when the BCS National Championship game involves the Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners, the game is played in <i>Florida</i>. <br /><br />That's giving a home-field advantage to the Gators, when the home team usually wins.<br /><br />And the last BCS National Championship game? In 2008, between the Buckeyes and Louisiana State University? Where was it played? In the Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana!<br /><br />I mean, come on. <br /><br />This year, OSU played the Texas Longhorns in the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona, which is right next to, I don't know, <i>Texas</i>. And who won?<br /><br />And the Rose Bowl? Penn State played USC in...California. Who won?<br /><br />Don't be giving one team a huge advantage like that.<br /><br />I'd like to see these SEC teams play a game in a cold-weather state. Let them come up to Ohio and Michigan and see how they do.
