i'm a thread-creatin' fool today aren't i?

i'm also forgetting about my jets-love temporarily, remembering that the only live nfl game i saw was at the (now dearly departed) vet, and i'm rooting for DA IGGLES to win it all this year.

and you's?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 04:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm really excited about this, I can tell you.

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 04:54 (twenty-two years ago)

why, tottenham hotspur and manchester united aren't in the Bowl?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 04:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I always watched it when I was in the UK. I don't understand what's going on, but it's pretty crunk. I like it when the players come out and are introduced one by one and they all have a little schtick.

That said, I'd take Spurs V Man U any day, but I'm too poor to afford cable so what can you do?

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

EAGLES all the way!!!

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:04 (twenty-two years ago)

So...who's playing?

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Where is it?

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Who's in the halftime show?

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Momus, isn't it?

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

AGAIN.

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

momus and michael jackson

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

the momus bowl woulda been cool last year ... what with it being the PIRATE BOWL (bucs v raiders)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd love to see the Eagles take it all. They're my pick to click. Really need to get that running game in order for that to happen, though. You could tell they missed Westbrook yesterday.

― Broheems (diamond), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:18 (twenty-two years ago)

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Btw, that was the best weekend of my football-fool-watchin' LIFE!! Unbelievable how great those 4 games were.

― Broheems (diamond), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:19 (twenty-two years ago)

agreed

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:20 (twenty-two years ago)

The Raiders were in it last year? Well...they're my team I guess. Go Raiders!

― Fatal Beret (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm 5-3 against the spread in the playoffs. I was 5-1 going into yesterday, but I crapped out on both games. Really disgusted with Kansas City.

― Broheems (diamond), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Right now it's only down to Eagles or Panthers and Colts or Patriots.

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:21 (twenty-two years ago)

this WAS an amazing football weekend.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going with the Eagles but they're gonna have to do more than just show up to win, unlike yesterday's squeaker. Also disappointed with the Chiefs. Will be generally happy as long as any other team aside from the Patriots wins.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:37 (twenty-two years ago)

kansas city NEVER wins in the big games. i used to think that it was b/c of schottenheimer, but apparently not. the chiefs are just cursed, maybe!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:41 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I know, it's kinda pathetic when you can get a TD off a kickoff return but still can't win the game.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I love how Manning would get his team to the line ... with 22 seconds left on the play clock and just CALL AUDIBLES over and over again, and have conferences with the backs... KC had no clue what was going on.

― ModJ (ModJ), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 05:55 (twenty-two years ago)

You are a mentalist if you took the Chiefs this weekend!

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 13 January 2004 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I know. Well, I guess I was just a doubting Thomas - or more accurately a doubting Peyton. I watched that game at the Meadowlands last year. But I have seen the light, and the error of my ways.

― Broheems (diamond), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 06:28 (twenty-two years ago)

two weeks pass...

Take Carolina and the 7. That spread is too high.

― Broheems (diamond), Sunday, 1 February 2004 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Take Carolina and give three. Them NC boyz gonna SHAKE UP THE WORRRRRRLD

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Sunday, 1 February 2004 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

who wants to fire up the AIM chat?

― Kingfish Funyun (Kingfish), Monday, 2 February 2004 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

that Muhammad Ali Linux ad was so damned good, but then again, I love Muhammad Ali so much it makes me want to cry

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Monday, 2 February 2004 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

the game itself: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 2 February 2004 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

yes but according to the announcers "Steve Smith is the home run hitter for this Carolina offense!" badly played game + really dumb fucking announcers = why the f*ck can't I get a Man City broadcast around here

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Monday, 2 February 2004 00:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Is Ian Botham involved?

― paulhw (paulhw), Monday, 2 February 2004 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

oops - foot, meet mouth

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Monday, 2 February 2004 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

looks like someone just knocked one outta the park

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:00 (twenty-two years ago)

haha

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:00 (twenty-two years ago)

get online to join tonight's IM chat

― Kingfish Funyun (Kingfish), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

i heart everybody but i can't stand chatting during games

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:10 (twenty-two years ago)

14-10!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

c'mon an' raise up

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

hot in herre?!?

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I should totally not be watching the halftime show. P Diddy + "Mickey" = SHEER TERROR

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 2 February 2004 01:26 (twenty-two years ago)

These are the most awkward transitions ever

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 2 February 2004 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh God, now it's Kid Rock!!!

― Aja (aja), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

seriously: "all for you", "bawitdaba", "bad boy for life", "mo money mo problems" -- what the hell is going on? has the halftime show historically been this dated?

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

was that mike or janet?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure this made a lot more sense in the producers' heads

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 2 February 2004 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

where's the chat?

― Ed (dali), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

who's that homeless lookin guy with janet jackson?

― sigh, Monday, 2 February 2004 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

It almost looks like Mike dolled himself up in one of Shania's outfits.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 2 February 2004 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Skipping 54 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

the ad was more 'kids are gonna download music no matter what, NOTHING is gonna stop them. here's how to do it legally. ps. drink pepsi too'.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

it was aimed more at parents than the kids though

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:24 (twenty-two years ago)

nb. don't want your iTunes bottle cap -> http://tunerecycler.com/

― Ed (dali), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

the ad was actually lame, the only good to it was when it appeared it was gonna be a straightup anti-RIAA ad, and then it crapped out.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god, Janet must be sooooo embarrassed. Oh, yeah, and then Justin ripped off her dress.

They used to be an item...perhaps this was part of the halftime show's retro theme?

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey did the Britney/Pink/Beyonce ad air?

― Leee Majors (Leee), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:29 (twenty-two years ago)

PLUS, what was really lame, is there was a crap studio musician versio of "i fought the law" playing 'in the style of the clash' which was really lame cuz 1) the clash's catalog is obv. for sale and 2) it's the superbowl. spring for the fucking tune. while they were sorta saying 'hey kid stop all the downloading' they were meanwhile too cheap to pay for the music themselves.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I was wondering if it was the "NEW" Colin Farrell version of the song from that crappy looking Irish-love-story-indie-movie (eh, either way Bobby Fuller's family gets money, James, so don't be too pissed.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:34 (twenty-two years ago)

oh i'm not that pissed!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i won big tonight - i took the panthers AND the over

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Woo hoo!

― Kingfish Funyun (Kingfish), Monday, 2 February 2004 05:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Good job, James. The spread was too high. Hope everyone went with us and made some money.

Final playoff record ATS: 8-3

― Broheems (diamond), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:14 (twenty-two years ago)

the cover of the clash cover was green day, right?

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

was it?

i was more annoyed at the other commercial that didn't bother to use the original 'i feel love'.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

But the new version was so hip and angsted.

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 06:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean people are trying to use the super bowl adrates being back to 2000 levels as proof that 'the economy's recovered! nobody sneeze!' but obv. they're not spending as much to make the ads as they did in those bubble days of yore.

i put it to you the economy has not recovered.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:53 (twenty-two years ago)

THat explains the usage of Carrot Top and Alf, at least.

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 06:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Eurgh. What a revolting combination.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:55 (twenty-two years ago)

sounded like it to me.

i miss the halcyon days of the late 90s when superbowl beer ads imitated beckett and not the man show.

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Come on, that one about the donkey who was auditioning to be a Clydesdale, that brought a tear to your eye, come on.

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 06:58 (twenty-two years ago)

(xpost okay that one was okaaay)

(not that i actually have an example of the former, but really, the nagging wife, lighting the horse's fart?? gimme a fucking break. let's have a little more effete conflicted overthought pc handwringing in our million dollar entertainments plzzzz)

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 06:59 (twenty-two years ago)

ugh - maybe if they'd gotten the right voiceover guy! he sounded like the understudy for one of the dudes who did the ghostbusters cartoon. totally deflated the pathos.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:00 (twenty-two years ago)

He sounded like the dude that does the voice over in The Christmas Story.

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 07:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i dunno, sounded like a real donkey to me

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to have a pet donkey, and let me tell you, he didn't talk no fancy talk like that.

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 07:08 (twenty-two years ago)

He sounded like Eddie Murphy, then.

(Shrek 2, I ask you.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Did anybody else notice the Aerosmith video intro of the band suiting up in astronaut gear, launching in a space shuttle, hanging out on the space station, and then FALLING INTO TEXAS! They performed right before Josh Groban dedicated a song to the fallen Columbia crew. Classy.

And anyway, wtf, is Aerosmith now the NASA band because of Armageddon or something?

― Stuart (Stuart), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought the last outfit janet was wearing was the least strange!! the first permutation of her outfit (the one she wore when she first got on the stage) was the weirdest! the weird frilly thing?!

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:11 (twenty-two years ago)

JOSH GROBAN?!? who the fuck is he anyway? we were all 'who's the teenage doctor who fan singing a jesus song to space?'

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:12 (twenty-two years ago)

aerosmith are like the official band of the nfl or something (to be fair they did own that kickoff deal last fall) + the boston connection.

josh groban's been trading number one on the album's chart with outkast for the past few months.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:13 (twenty-two years ago)

blame oprah

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, well, he sucks.

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 07:14 (twenty-two years ago)

dude i'm in grad school, ilx is my window on the world.

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:14 (twenty-two years ago)

oh wait, i think he just did a show here. the poster said he was all sinatra-y

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, is Ned aware that Monster.com used Cult Hero's "I Dig You" in their commercial (the one that wasn't the lame "I Feel Love" one)?

― Broheems (diamond), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh did they? I can live with that. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I was pretty surprised! I'm not sure if it was the original recording or not. Sounded like it.

― Broheems (diamond), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude also the Pepsi (I think?) ad that used Biz Markie!!

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 07:24 (twenty-two years ago)

pepsi suxx donkey dixx

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:25 (twenty-two years ago)

rrr that hendrix one

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

But Biz Markie!

― Allyzay, Monday, 2 February 2004 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I too was disappointed about that "downloading legally" thing. I totally thought it was gonna be a RIAA dis. But I guess that would probably never happen.

― Broheems (diamond), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:27 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah cbs put the nix on 'message' ads

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:30 (twenty-two years ago)

unless the message is something like 'if you haven't found your kids pot stash it just means YOU HAVEN'T BEEN LOOKING HARD ENOUGH.'

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:31 (twenty-two years ago)

how could i forget: how bout that new lawyer show set in the FUTURE?

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

HOLY SHIT TITTEH!

― AMERICA (nickalicious), Monday, 2 February 2004 07:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I've decided to keep my posting moratorium a strickly-ILM thing just so I can come out and marvel at the fact that Janet's got a ninja titty. I imagine it shooting off a'la some ridiculous '80s Roger Corman film and embedding itself in somebody's skull.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

When can I get me a Willie Nelson Advice Doll?

(Please, God, let someone make them.)

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck, someone on ILM already made the ninja star joke. My uselessness continues unabated.
