sunday

boy howdy. i was sure glad that tweety lost today. i enjoyed seeing the manning face over and over as receivers ran "wrong routes" and peyton's passes floated harmlessly to no one. and seeing him get sacked several times. i'm sure he's blaming the kicker for missing a long, but makeable field goal. never mind that his arm flapping and giant head didn't produce much all day. it was an enjoyable game, but i don't know if i'd call it great. some things i'm curious about:
1. does tony dungy feel punk'd by tweety? he sent in the punt team, tweety waved them off. i know they let peyton run the show on field, but i don't know if i'd stand for that sort of crap if i was head coach.
2. what were the officials thinking on that interception that got overturned? there have been some bad calls over the weekend, but that one stunk. clearly the ball was caught, under control, and was fumbled as the defensive player attempted to get up. really, the reply cbs showed over and over demonstrated this. and then the ref called it an incomplete. that sort of stuff really makes you feel like the game is rigged, or at least that the nfl is pulling for some of its "stars" to be in the big game. really, the nfl may not have any of the marquee players in the superbowl. it could be denver vs carolina. who are they using to advertise that game. or shoot, maybe seattle gets in but doesn't have shaun alexander (concussion). the nfl better hope that pittsburg gets in and they can ride the roethlesbergerrrrrr/bettis bandwagon. and that alexander is back next week.

then, i was watching fox's pregame. what happened to jimmy johnson's hair? it looks like someone thought, "jimmy needs to look hip. let's give him a young hair cut." unfortunately, it's all spikey and stupid looking. johnson is known for his hair like pat riley is. and now, he just looks silly.

now, a little bit for jay. dr. bronner's soap is an interesting little product i used for a while when i had dreads. it's also very popular with the raft guide set (there was some in jay's bathroom when we were there). if you ever find a bottle of the stuff, take time to read the labels. craziest bunch of gibberish ever. reads like a bad translation. click here to enjoy some of their bizarro stuff. really, this is how it reads.

finally, i'm glad the "people" accused of beating some homeless men down in fla. turned themselves in. i use the word people loosely here because i'm not sure of their humanity. i fully believe in the chance for redemption, but (expletive deleted), these kids seem a long way from deserving it. really, beating three people with a bat for no apparent reason is about as bad as it gets. one is dead and the other two are still injured. and why? no answer yet. and i'm sure if we ever get one it won't satisfy.

The fun thing about Dr. Bronner's is that the larger the bottle is, the more crazed rantings they can fit on it.

Listen Children! Eternal Father, Eternally One!

I as well came close to vomiting when I heard that story about the kids in Florida beating up homeless people. It is so very important to instill humanity in kids as they grow up. Is our society so rotten that some people don't recognize other people as human? I shudder.
