Since we NEVER talk Politics on a Food Blog, I do need your opinion on something......You are The Smartest Man in the room. I just saw where Republican Mike Pence filed today for Governator of Indiana. My question is this...Since he already figured out the people of Indiana won't vote him back to Congress...Why in the hell does he think they will vote him in as Governor? Of course if All Hoosiers have a memory like the Queens,It's a given. :))
I think it is pure, unbrideled narcissism. I think that many of these folks crave the limelight so much that they don't know when to quit. So it one office goes south, they will try for another.
I've always believed that anyone seeking the presidency is just a tad bit insane. Not outright lunatic mind you, but something is wrong with any thinking , rational person who wants the job and all that goes with it.
Just my .02
I think we should just throw everyones SS Card into a giant hat and pick one at random. That person is president for a year and makes their current salary. Then we do it again next year. If we need a hat big enough to hold at the cards, we can just take one from the closet of any current politician. Their heads should be big enough...
What halftime show would you like to see in 2013?
Let's go with Rooty Root and The Sex Change Band or Rev Horton Heat.
Something with a drum line / drum battle! I MIGHT watch that.
That would be COOL! And way more appropriate for a football game.
I gotz moderated...:(((
See if "fan dancers" will get by the bots.
This is in no particular order, but...
Coldplay
Bob Seger and the silver bullet band.
The surviving members of the Grateful Dead
U2 (Again)
Bruce Springsteen (I know, again)
Chrissie Hynde and THe Pretenders
Bob Dylan
Van Morrison
ZZ Top (especially if the game is played in Dallas)
.38 Special
Garth Brooks
I think that about covers it...
That's what I'm talking about. Man Bands (of course other than Chrissy)! Get some Man Bands in there. Something with testosterone. They'll work just fine.
Don't forget the original Doobie Brothers....Rock On.
You are right, the Doobies would do well in that venue.
Never thought of them as "Man Bands" but you are right. And FWIW, I saw The Pretenders in a small club setting here in Denver a couple of years ago, and that woman can BRING IT! That almost makes up for the fact that she is an adament vegan...:)
There's also:
Boston
Foghat
Kid Rock
Kansas
Thorogood
Don't know if they're all still touring, but I can dream.
Don't forget Deep Purple
Oh, and a lady who never puts on a bad show, the one and only Bonnie Raitt. She has a new album coming out in March, where she covers Gerry Rafferty's "Right Down the Line" just superlatively. Looking forward to it.
Skynyrd & Allmann Brothers & Marshall Tucker my favorites :-D
Swiss Army Drumline. They'd be a hit if we could ship them over here. (Not quite 6 minutes of dazzling drumming.)
My BOWEL movement never got off the ground so I am creating a new occupy movement that occupies golf courses. Anyone interested?
what's the issue? No greens fees? Free golf carts? Free martinis?
Full access to all port-a-johns.
Nothing really. I just want to spend more time on the golf course...
Ding! Ding! Ding! You win! (stooopid me....sigh. I reeeeeaaaallly should have known)
I nominate AleeD to be the cart girl.
For TWO's BOWEL-Tourney? Hmmm. I'm not sure I'm flattered that you thought of me or grossed our that I get to push around the port-a-johns.
I'll have to polish up my shot glass bandolier.
Whoa. I was looking to post a Google image for the bandoliers. That's not happening. NSFW
No silly, for his golfing movement. No port-a-john forklift driving for you. Wear sunscreen, it gets hot out there.
Whew! Ok. How does this sound: a leather cowboy hat, two strategically crossed bandoliers and a pleated plaid skirt. What shoes should I wear? Spikes on a golf course are a given, but ......
Ummmmmmmmm, tennis shoes would be just fine.....just fine.
"HEY! WHO TURNED THE TERMOSTAT UP IN MY OFFICE!?!?!?!"
Tennis chooz? Well .... ok. If that's what you like.
What shall I do with my hair? Long, dark auburn tresses in 2 ponytails (just coming out from under the hat) or let it flow?
While I'm here, let me knock that thermostat down a couple of degrees. It HAS been unseasonably warm this Winter ...
Ponytails....yes please!
When you go home tonite, Google "bandoliers," surf a while ... then go "hug" Mrs. Biddle.
I didn't watch the game... but I did get a chance to look over past Puppy Bowl (and Kitten Half-Time) clips with my fiance. The cute... was so cute!
I needed my coffee this morning so much I didn't get a chance to savor it like the lady in the picture....
I watched the Puppy Bowl in bits and pieces and it's adorable!
Holy God Above there's alot to juggling doctors! I've been on the phone for the last 2 hours and haven't talked to a doc yet! If things take a left fork in the road instead of right, I may not talk to one either. Sheesh!
You have my sympathies! The bureaucratic end of things has gotten WAY out of control.
Seems like if you don't throw money at the medical world instantaneously and in GREAT abundance, you simply will not get help, much less straightforward communication with an actual doctor.
Sincere good luck with that!
I always have to laugh when a pharma commercial says "Ask you doctor about..."
The last few times I have had to go in, you wind up being taken anywhere from 30 to more minutes late, then you explain your problem to the front desk, then the assistant, then the nurse. Then the doctor goes sprinting through, and you are lucky if you get five minutes.
I have a hard time with our medical industry lately.
I bet if you showed a $100 bill the doc would stop and pay attention.
Rule 1: Money talks. Rule 2 through 1000: Money, money, money.
I can't complain too loudly. I drive 85 miles to stay with my FAB doctor who WILL talk to me! LOVE him!
"Ask your doctor about Cialis." As vague as they have to make those ads, you'd have to ask someone just to figure out what the drug is for. After years of watching THOSE kinds of commercials, if I see two people bathing in Rob & Laura Petrie's separate clawfoot tubs in the middle of the Ocala National forest, I'll know it's an E.D. drug.
What they should tell you is to "our website before visiting your doctor to see if women over 90 can benefit from Pediasure."
Right now I'm having a problem with my GP & specializations. My GP doesn't even want to talk to me about what I'm having a problem with. Every time I bring it up, she throw's up a wall and tells me I need to see a specialist. So today I got that ball rolling ... and I feel like Sisyphus.
And no, Rich. That is not Tom Brady's nickname.
I feel your pain Sista'. Just got home with WD who had to get All her shots, a physical and a hair cut= $ 232.00. Now comes the kicker....they found 2 "masses " under her tail and want $ 400.00 to remove those and that doesn't include meds for 2 weeks after the surgery. Sigh, She and I are getting old.
Aw Bro, I'm sorry. Unexpected expenditures su ck big green ones.
Did they biopsy yet to figure out what the masses are? Fingers, toes & eyes crossed that all goes well. We're all getting older and requiring higher maintenance than we used to. But it sure beats the alternative! ;)
)))))))hugs 2 u both(((((((
I have not checked out her butt yet, but being a Spaniel they are prone to getting these little moles on their bods. She's got 2 small ones on her head. Got a call into the vet since I didn't get a chance to talk to him when I picked her up. We'll see.
Well holy insensitivities, Batman! I left half my message off!
Are the masses bothering WD at all? Does she seem to be feeling like herself?
They don't seem to be bothering her and she is always a little slow after getting 3 shots in one day. I'm gonna wait and see how she does in the truck this week and after I talk to the Doctor.
Hi De Ho to the Chum-Klatchkies! Had company just to watch the game so I sort of watched it all the way through. I got interested in the game in spite of myself!
Missed the finger insult thing during halftime.
2 questions and 1 observation: What was her agenda? Why couldn't she keep it private? And why should we give a s&$%t? (That kind of stunt makes me put her in the "pretentious twit" category.)
And I do not want to know her name.
Good morning all, great game and I even won a few bucks in a pool, so the coffee's on me. I saw the referenced middle finger but figured it was a mistake, but now I'm re-thinking that position. The commercials were ok this year, the ones with animals were the best IMHO. Fun doing play by play via email with Truth and RH.
Alright, I must be getting old, but did anyone else miss the middle finger 'malfunction' during the half-time show? I'm just reading hearing about it this morning.
I missed it. Probably 'cuz I was too busy laughing at Madonna almost falling off the stage during her performance. What are the reports saying happened?
I still think Madonna looks great at her age.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/06/showbiz/ent-super-bowl-halftime-show/index.html?hpt=hp_c2
I had to mute it during the madonna segment just on sheer principle. They need to stick with either the Rolling Stones, U2, The Boss or someone similar.
This is the group that should have sung the National Anthem. NEVER heard it better.
Truth, that is precisely what I was trying to explain to me hubby last nite. He thought I was being snarky. I was ... just a bit ...but that's not the point. When they announced she was going to do the 1/2 time show, I thought they were joking. Wait ... I feel a QOD coming on ....
Was said middle finger malfunction during one the the cr0tch grabbing scenes by a backup dancer? If so, maybe I glanced it but hard to tell.
Madonna does look pretty good, but I thought she was wearing a wig, no way that was her hair, and she did seem a bit stiff dancing out there...of course I couldn't do 1/2 of what she was doing so not judging. Also HATED the "I LUV Madonna" bit, really?? The 80's stuff was the best and her voice still sounds good, if it was live...
I saw it and returned a two finger salute back at the Brit. Stoooopid twit.
just finished my cappuccino. I'm on top of the world!
Morning All :-) I'm working on a hangover – really sore from work – got my rv down here !! It's sooooo BIG – jerv can I send you a few pics ? I have no one elses email :-)
Morning Crew! What a Giant Monday we have here. Great game last night!
Thanks for the coffee Bro !! I guess I 'll give myself a Giant PAT on the back for a Game well played,tho it was in a losing effort. I think Tazer said it Best . :))
Good morning all, and I hope that everyone is having a Giant of a day!
Coffee is on, so pour yourself a Gian mug and enjoy!
Good morning to you and everyone!
Having a Giant day is what a good Patriot would do. I hear it was a good game.
ANY HANGOVERS IN THE LOUNGE TODAY?!?!?!?!?!
