Anyone watch the Super Bowl yesterday? I shan't be providing a commentary on the game, but this I did want to share, because it was flipping hilarious.

If you did watch the game, and remember what happened, Belichick called a challenge because NY had twelve players on the field at the time of the snap. The film was reviewed and NE kept possession, which led to another four downs and a punt. Two minutes later, one of my friends went on Wikipedia to check the rules of instant replay. The article had already been updated to include what had happened, except that it read as follows:

"Whether a legal number of players are on the field at the time of the snap, which the Patriots did in the Super Bowl against the Giants because they are douchebags."

I immediately captured it as a PDF, knowing that it would disappear in record time, and sure enough, five minutes later it was gone. But was it ever funny when it was up. And I have it saved for posterity.

In other news, I think it's fantastic that Brady isn't using injuries an excuse, even though his team apparently acted like a bunch of scumbags on the field (what with the taunting and everything else they were saying) and Belichick of course left the field before the game was even over. That aside, not taking the out and blaming the shoulder or the ankle shows some class that the rest of them didn't display.

Can anyone tell me what would you think if the following situation happened?

The scenario: You go out with a person on four dates. You suddenly decide you're not interested. Stop calling, but the other person contacts you, so you talk to him or her every once in awhile. You're nice, but don't initiate.

The other person asks you whether or not they should stop wasting their time talking to you. You give a vague answer about how you've been busy. They carry on like nothing has happened. As in, you continue to talk every other day or so.

Then one night, you both happen to be at the same bar, and the other person comes out of one of the private rooms, sees you, and smiles at you. Keeps walking. Mind you, this is the person you've been basically ignoring. They go back and forth a few times throughout the night, but they don't even look at you. Then a few hours later, comes over to say hi. Asks you about a few things they know you have going on. Says, okay, I'm going back to sit with my friends.

Doesn't look at you again for the rest of the night as they go between two different rooms.

Yes, so what would you think? How would you interpret said behavior?

Somebody Hasn't Had His Tie Tied in a Long Time

Yuppie girl #1: Last night I actually had to tie Dave's tie for him.
Yuppie girl #2: Dave, please be more inept.
Yuppie girl #1: I know. It's sad. Where the fuck would guys be without us girls?
Middle-aged man: Still in the Garden of Eden, you gullible bitch.

More on this later, if I remember...

So lately, at work, I've been sending out a flurry of information to people on various items. And inevitably after sending the email, I get back a flurry of responses that contain various questions that I have already answered in explicit detail in the email that they're responding to. When I mentioned how irritated about this I was to my boss, he laughed and told me I was an optimist because I expected people to actually read the e-mails. Too true. Then he says:

"You know how on webpages people have FAQs? Frequently Answered Questions? What you need is a FQA -- Frequently Questioned Answers."

I found that way too funny.

Circular question of the day: If I already know I'm not going to like the answer, should I really ask the question?

Funny, because I feel about the same way about cars as I do about relationships.
