Story Summary
I protested the Super Bowl. Okay, I watched every minute of it. But I didn't go to a party. I didn't socialize. Okay, that's not really true. I posted on facebook during the game. And took phone calls and sent text messages.

I protested the Super Bowl. Okay, I watched every minute of it. But I didn't go to a party. I didn't socialize. Okay, that's not really true. I posted on facebook during the game. And took phone calls and sent text messages.
So all I did was just stay at home, by myself, and watch the game. I'm not sure the last time I did that? I think the last time was in 1997, when I was living in Wilkes-Barre and watched Reggie White and his Green Bay Packers win a Super Bowl.
I dont' remember much about that Bowl, except for Desmond Howard's kick return to start the second half. (It was in the 3rd Quarter, and it followed a score by the Patriots who cut the Pack's lead to 6.)
I'm not sure how much I will remember from this Super Bowl. But I think I'll probably remember Larry Fitzgerald's big day. And of course Santonio Holmes dramatic catch. And then lament why the Eagles refuse to build a Wide Receiving corps.
Super Bowl Ads
It seems like the Super Bowl Ads were the big topic of conversation. I'm not sure, they weren't any good. You can read all sorts of reviews. You can read how the current state of the economy created the wrong mood. And of course read about how once again, you can't watch a Super Bowl with your children. What year is this?
Some people believed the Boss put on a good Show. Not me. I won't be able
One commercial that got my buddy Kyle all riled up, was the one for the new Will Ferrell movie "Lost in Space". Sometimes, Kyle believes that Lizard conspiracy too closely. Here are Kyle's IMs:
[12:00] Kyle Fritzl: Land of the Lost should NOT be a fucking comedy!!! [12:01] Kyle Fritzl: There is nothing funny about the sleestaks Mike [12:01] Kyle Fritzl: Not a single fucking thing!
These quotes brought about a discussion about Doctor Who and rubber-suited Lizard people. Lo and behold there were! Read about the Silurians. And view some famous reptilian enemies of The Doctor.
