WHO DAT: 31-17, SAINTS!
Just for the record: New Orleans has gone CRAZY. Took less than a minute to get Bourbon Street filled wall-to-wall and end-to-end with cheering, screaming people after the game ended. (The street itself, not the bars, y'all.) I tried to text Puck right after the game, and it would not go through. My dad tried to call Grandma, and it would not go through. Fireworks? You better fucking believe there were fireworks. Still going on, too.
I could hear the roar of people celebrating in my sleepy suburban neighborhood when I stepped outside. You can hear it inside if they're close by.
Also, the honking is going to drive me crazy if it goes on all night.
[Pux]: I think that's the best rendition of that song I have ever heard.
[Me]: Yeah.
["The Star-Spangled Banner" is not an easy song to sing.]
[Pux]: ...Jerry Rice got thin.
[Me]: That is not how you pronounce New Orleans
[Pux]: Indeed it is not.
[Seriously, people, it does NOT rhyme with 'jeans', and Orleans is only TWO syllables.]
[Me]: Saints receiving!
[Pux]: Yes!
[Pux]: Oh, good, my brother is wise and is rooting for the Saints.
[Me]: Good. <333
[Me]: --did you see that hit?
[Pux]: I don't think I did. D:
[Me]: Colt catches the ball, and a Saint immediately flips him ass over teakettle.
[Pux]: Hee.
[Me]: Almost as good as when the Colt caught the punt, and then got nailed for a zero-yard run.
[Pux]: *grin*
[Me]: We have a good defense. But it could definitely be better. *does not like this marching down the field*
[Pux]: *nods*
[Me]: ---- satellite needs to stop trying to give out
[Me]: We need to crush Peyton.
[Pux]: Way to flub that catch
[Pux]: ...okay, that commercial was cute.
[Pux]: ....wait, that was the anti-abortion ad that had everyone flipping out?
[Me]: Yeah, I think so.
[Pux]: ...can we have more than five minutes of game before they go commercial?
[Me]: I have no idea.
[Me]: Dad says we get them every time there's a time-out.
[Pux]: Oh lord.
[Pux]: Is that some Battle Without Hope Or Humanity I hear?
[Me]: *stares at the Saints*
[Pux]: Come on, y'all.
[Me]: Boys. This is the fucking SUPERBOWL.
[Pux]: ...the Robin Hood trailer was more entertaining than the Last Airbender commercial.
[Me]: Yes.
[Me]: Bud Light has some good commercials.
[Pux]: Yes. <3
[Pux]: Gibbs. <3
[Me]: Yes. *grins*
[Pux]: Gibbs, Pakku, and Krisuk.
[Me]: GUYS
[Me]: Guys, start clobbering Peyton like you did Brett Favre
[Me]: AND STOP MISPRONOUNCING OUR CITY
[Pux]: *hugs*
[Pux]: ...I do believe my grandmother and I are rooting for different teams.
[Me]: Heh.
[Pux]: Blaaagh.
[Me]: Saints defense has GOT to wake up.
[Pux]: Seriously. What the hell, y'all.
[Me]: I repeat: crush Manning like you guys did Favre.
[Pux]: That was cute.
[Me]: Yes.
[Pux]: That was not.
[Me]: Indeed.
[Me]: *eyes the Saints*
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Me]: Doritos amuses me.
[Pux]: That was cute.
[Me]: Good one, Bridgestone.
[Me]: SAINTS!
[Me]: *cheers*
[Pux]: That was gorgeous.
[Me]: Free 15 yards!
[Pux]: woot!
[Me]: Oh, Jeez, did you just _see_ that?
[Pux]: I DID
[Me]: *flails!*
[Pux]: \o/
[Me]: <3333
[Me]: Still 10-3, Colts. But we can do it.
[Me]: We just gotta stop the Colts.
[Pux]: ...that music. I know it.
[Me]: Budweiser is doing some good commercials.
[Pux]: That is why I love them.
[Pux]: ...that was interesting.
[Me]: Yes.
[Me]: Nice one, Big Bang Theory
[Pux]: ...what. The fuck.
[Pux]: PUT. THE GAME. BACK ON.
[Me]: oKAY Dockers
[Pux]: Favre is never going to retire.
[Me]: Nice one with Favre. *giggles*
[Me]: YESYESYES
[Pux]: YES
[Me]: Budweiser is winning this superbowl.
[Pux]: They are.
[Pux]: *eyebrow*
[Me]: Hey, it's a commercial for Dove.
[Me]: GOGOGOGOGOGO!
[Pux]: COME ON Y'ALL. TOUCHDOWN. SCORE. YOU CAN DO IT
[Me]: AGGGH
[Pux]: The "go away" push amused me.
[Pux]: SO CLOSE
[Pux]: SO. CLOSE.
[Me]: GOINGOGINGOING!
[Me]: Come on, guys, make it 10-10!
[Pux]: Gkkkkkk
[Pux]: pbbbbt
[Me]: fffffff
[Pux]: SO CLOSE COME ON GUYS
[Me]: COME ON GUYS
[Pux]: .... *eyes the commercial*
[Pux]: ....what the hell, Dodge.
[Me]: Okay, why is there this theme in some of these?
[Pux]: Because the SuperBowl is a man's game. Or something.
[Pux]: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAa
[Me]: Pux, I think they're trying to drive us crazy.
[This is about when the Saints got stopped on the ONE YARD LINE, I am pretty sure.]
[Pux]: They are.
[Pux]: ....is Tim Burton capable of making a movie without Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter?
[Pux]: I. I don't even know.
[Me]: what the hell.
[Pux]: Bring back the Budweiser.
[Pux]: And the Doritos.
[Me]: Yes.
[Pux]: COME ON SAINTS
[Pux]: *headkeyboard*
[Me]: just.
[Me]: justtttttttt.
[Me]: Love me, Pux.
[Pux]: what the hell.
[Pux]: *loves*
[Me]: *loves back*
[Or maybe that was here.]
[Pux]: wilw: In space, no one can hear you take off your sunglasses.
[Me]: Heh.
[Me]: WALL.
[Me]: Intercept the ball or something!
[Pux]: Nice of the Defence to finally wake up.
[Pux]: Oh god more commercials.
[Pux]: ....what. what. what.
[Me]: Okay, seriously. Offensive.
[Me]: We have a small chance of scoring.
[Pux]: YES
[Me]: EEEE!
[Me]: I love my Dad, but man, he is a conservative in a bad way sometimes.
[Pux]: My granddad has no idea why I found that FloTV commercial so offensive
[Me]: Yeah. That.
[Me]: Cute, Intel.
[Pux]: Poor little robot, I want to hug him.
[Me]: I think we have to kick a field goal.
[Pux]: *nods*
[Me]: Of course, there was a game this season where we were 0-21 at halftime and won the game.
[Pux]: WOO
[Me]: 10-6, Colts. GO, SAINTS
[Me]: The Who, playing for the Who Dat nation. <33333333
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Me]: Okay, FloTV, that was so much better.
[Pux]: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[Pux]: THEY REFERENCED THE DRAMATIC PRAIRIE DOG
[Me]: bio break -- heee!
[Me]: Omigod, talking heads.
[Pux]: I stopped paying attention.
[And now, the Halftime Show begins.]
[Pux]: THE WHOOOOOOOOOOO
[Me]: YES!
[Pux]: PINBALL WIZARD
[Me]: SURE PLAYS A MEAN PINBALL!
[Pux]: HOW DO YOUT HINK HE DOES IT
[Me]: I DON'
[Me]: I DON'T KNOW
[Me]: .... They're doing a medley.
[Me]: Omigod.
[Pux]: Medley!
[Pux]: God, they're so old.
[Me]: "I hope I die before I get old" was forty years ago
[Pux]: And my grandparents have no idea why they have the Who up. *sighs*
[Me]: It's Halftime!
[Pux]: They get that. They don't get WHY. And I"m like... it's the Who and they're awesome.
[Me]: Yeah/
[Me]: Nice pyrotechnics
[Pux]: WHOOOO ARE YOU
[Pux]: Nice lights!
[Me]: He said, "you can go home and sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away."
[Pux]: EVERYBODY SING ALONG
[Me]: They have been. ^___________________^
[Pux]: I know. :-D
[Pux]: I wonder if they'll do Won't Be Fooled Again next.
[Me]: God, the Who are the guys who invented smashing your guitar on stage.
[Pux]: Given that all the commercials for this have been playing it...
[Me]: ^___^
[Pux]: Oh, El, sometimes I wonder why I like you.
[Me]: ?
[Pux]:
[Pux]: WHOOOO ARE YOU
[El]: yay csi theme!
[Pux]: ....no.
[Me]: .....
[Me]: Feeeeeel me
[Pux]: wilw: If Townsend doesn't take off his sunglasses when Daltrey screams YEEEEAAAHHHHH!!! I'm going to cry a little bit.
[Me]: *giggles*
[Pux]: I am watching for this now.
[Me]: Tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution, smile and grin at the change all around me, pick up my guitar and play!
[Pux]: WE WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN
[Me]: ^_______^
[Me]: :DDDDDDDDDD
[Pux]: So many people livetweeting the superbowl
[Me]: It's a big damn event!
[Pux]: indeed
[Pux]: I have to try like five times to get mine to go through
[Pux]: WE WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN
[Pux]: I will crack up if he doesn't actually go "YYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAH!"
[Me]: *laughs*
[Pux]: Oops, there it was. But the glasses stayed on. Sadfais.
[Me]: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!
[Pux]: That was excellent.
[Me]: It WAS
[And thus ends the Halftime Show. The Deadzone chat also got subjected to me rocking out.]
[Pux]: Bruckheimer, do you need more Miami shows?
[Me]: Who are these people and why are they talking?
[Pux]: I do not know.
[Pux]: They are apparently the announcers.
[Me]: Oh, GOD.
[Me]: First against the wall.
[Pux]: .....er?
[Me]: Er?
[Pux]: ...do cash-only restaurants even exist anymore?
[Me]: I see them sometimes.
[Me]: Well, at food courts.
[Pux]: But not like at the restaurant in that commercial
[Pux]: Guys, stop brawling for the ball.
[Me]: -- what just happened? I was reading a blog.
[Pux]: kicker kicked weird, god knows how many people jumped on the ball, and there seems to be an argument about who has it now.
[Me]: It keeps looking like it's about to break into a brawl.
[Pux]: Yep.
[Pux]: thank god for replay
[Pux]: HELL YES. SAINTS HAVE IT.
[Me]: WHOO!
[Pux]: I will want to see that again. DAMN.
[That onside kick at the beginning of the second half.]
[Me]: First down!
[Pux]: COME ON SAINTS
[Me]: Another one!
[Pux]: ...wow, that guy looked like he was trying some brain-killing
[Me]: ?
[Me]: From the looks of it, the first quarter was nerves.
[Pux]: First down again!
[Pux]: Nice to see they got their act together.
[Me]: Yep.
[Pux]: TOUCHDOWN, BABY
[Me]: EEEEEEEE!!!!!!
[Pux]: ...uh?
[Me]: Touchdown!
[Pux]: ....VW. The point of the game is that you do it with BUGS.
[Me]: Yes.
[Pux]: ...I will call Neil Patrick Harris ANYtime. I don't care that he doesn't do girls.
[Me]: Heh.
[Pux]: Give him the Farve treatment!
[Me]: I'll give it to Peyton - he is a damn fine quarterback
[Pux]: NICELY done.
[Me]: Not QUITE an interception.
[Pux]: but still nice.
[Me]: Yep.
[Me]: Good slap.
[Pux]: And my grandfather is being a pain in the ass about it. "What, you're not cheering for the team that you're not rooting for?"
[Me]: ?
[Pux]: He wanted to know why I didn't cheer when the Colts scored.
[Me]: Because they're not the Saints.
[Pux]: Exactly.
[Pux]: Wow, we got a whole MINUTE of play between commercials.
[Me]: I've had mornings like that.
[Me]: Good one, Coca-Cola
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Pux]: Oh god, the talking babies are creepy.
[Me]: yes
[Pux]: Yes, Neil Patrick Harris, I WILL call you.
[Me]: Reggie is the Flash in disguise.
[Pux]: *grin*
[Pux]: Oh. OH. WHAT WAS THAT.
[Me]: BAD.
[Pux]: Slightly better.
[Me]: Think we'll be kicking again.
[Pux]: *nods*
[Pux]: Annnnnd it's good.
[Me]: Only kicker with THREE outside of 40 kicks in a Superbowl now. <333
[Pux]: ...what?
[Pux]: ...oh. That's cute.
[Me]: That was a car commercial?
[Pux]: Yes.
[Me]: Fifteen minutes left of play.
[Me]: And it's anyone's ball game.
[Pux]: Yes.
[Pux]: OH.
[Pux]: So close.
[Me]: Fourth and two. Damn.
[Me]: Sack Manning! Sack him!
[Me]: ... that works too
[Me]: oh, that was wonderful
[Pux]: It WAS.
[Pux]: ... HAH
[Me]: WHOOOO
[Pux]: Wooooooow
[Pux]: ...that. Why? Why would you... what?
[Me]: I have no idea.
[Me]: first down!
[Me]: I really want a clip of that 2020 Brett Favre commercial.
[Me]: !runrunrunrun
[Pux]: I really REALLY hope the Colts lose right now. /does indeed take vengeance through gameplay
[Me]: 2nd and 2!
[Me]: (again)
[Pux]: We can do it!
[Pux]: BOOM BABY
[Me]: TOUCHDOWN
[Pux]: Touchdown makes me feel better.
[Me]: Oooh, we're going to try to do a two-point run.
[Me]: SO CLOSE
[Pux]: ...that is scary.
[Pux]: THERE are my clydesdales.
[Me]: That looks like a cool videogame
[Me]: Budweiser. Definitely winning the Superbowl.
[Pux]: <33333
[Pux]: keep it keep it keep it KEEP IT
[Me]: YES
[Pux]: AND IT'S GOOD!
[Pux]: Dude, how many replays is that?
[Me]: Many.
[Me]: Something to do while they reset the field.
[Pux]: And also during the challenge.
[Me]: Yep,
[Pux]: ABBY
[Me]: <3
[Pux]: False start colts.
[Me]: Heh, I thought it was the Saints jumping early.
[Pux]: OH
[Pux]: So close
[Me]: -- did we just. oh. so close.
[Pux]: An interesting face skid, though
[Me]: Football is good for watching people splatter.
[Me]: CRUSH THEM
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Me]: See! Like that!
[Me]: Stop them again, Saints!
[Pux]: eek, injury
[Me]: eeek
[Pux]: ...........what?
[Pux]: No, really, what?
[Me]: --- that's bad.
[Pux]: HELL
[Pux]: FUCKING
[Pux]: YES
ChaosAngel2112: *SPAZZES&*
[Pux]: FUCK YES.
[Tracy Porter's interception and 70-yard run for a touchdown.]
[Me]: Doritos, you're on crack this year.
[Me]: But it's fun.
[Me]: Wow, the Colts are getting most of the fouls.
[Pux]: When's Mardi Gras?
[Pux]: Never mind, I was right
[Me]: ?
[Pux]: Oma refused to believe me when I said it was Tuesday
[Me]: .... It's Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday.
[Pux]: As in this tuesday, I mean.
[Me]: Oh, no, it's not.
[Me]: It's the Tuesday after Valentine's.
[Pux]: Aha. ...then. ...oh God she really did think it was Wednesday
[Me]: .... *facepalm*
[Pux]: But. What. Mardi Gras. TUESDAY.
[Me]: Heh. We actually moved a lot of parades around this year because of the Superbowl.
[Pux]: *nods*
[Pux]: I'm sorry, Sketchers, I love you, but shoes don't work that way.
[Me]: Die, GoDaddy.com, die.
[Pux]: INDEED.
[Pux]: SmartBitches: RT @mariva: Super Bowl XLIV: brought to you by junk food, beer, and lotsa awesome misogyny! Whoo-hoo! #sb44 #brandbowl
[Me]: Budweiser, totally winning.
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Me]: CRUSH THEM
[Pux]: Agh.
[Me]: ... Saints.
[Pux]: Saints, come on. You have this game. Don't lose it, please.
[Me]: Of course, it's not like five yards make that much of a difference this close.
[Me]: FUCK YEAH
[Pux]: ...interception, but flag
[Pux]: WHAT
[Pux]: ...wow.
[Me]: We need the camera focusing more on tight asses.
[Pux]: Yes. yes we do. I do like those pants.
[Me]: I have no idea what just happened.
[Pux]: Timeout.
[Pux]: Time for more misogynistic commercials!
[Me]: With the interception and the pass interference.
[Seriously, I have no idea what happened in that part of the game.]
[Pux]: that was interesting
[Me]: Yeah.
[Pux]: COME ON SAINTS
[Pux]: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[Me]: ----!!!!
[Me]: We have 44 seconds and the ball.
[Me]: FUCK YEAH
[Pux]: THE SAINTS TOTALLY HAVE IT
[Me]: New Orleans is going to be still partying tomorrow.
[Me]: Hell, we'll still be partying Friday for the Saints parade.
[Pux]: And apparently the local paper predicted 34-17 Colts victory. AHAHAHAHAH.
[Me]: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[Me]: 31-17, Saints!
[Pux]: WOOOHOO
[Me]: Bourbon St!
[Pux]: HELL YES
[Pux]: This is a good year for Nawlins. Princess and the Frog, Saints...
Hotel rooms in the French Quarter are at 100% occupancy, according to the local news. Apparently a lot of people came into New Orleans to watch the game, because they figured if we won... That's going to be a party to remember.
I could hear the roar of people celebrating in my sleepy suburban neighborhood when I stepped outside. You can hear it inside if they're close by.
Also, the honking is going to drive me crazy if it goes on all night.
[Pux]: I think that's the best rendition of that song I have ever heard.

[Pux]: But not like at the restaurant in that commercial
[Pux]: Guys, stop brawling for the ball.
[Me]: -- what just happened? I was reading a blog.
[Pux]: kicker kicked weird, god knows how many people jumped on the ball, and there seems to be an argument about who has it now.
[Me]: It keeps looking like it's about to break into a brawl.
[Pux]: Yep.
[Pux]: thank god for replay
[Pux]: HELL YES. SAINTS HAVE IT.
[Me]: WHOO!
[Pux]: I will want to see that again. DAMN.
[That onside kick at the beginning of the second half.]
[Me]: First down!
[Pux]: COME ON SAINTS
[Me]: Another one!
[Pux]: ...wow, that guy looked like he was trying some brain-killing
[Me]: ?
[Me]: From the looks of it, the first quarter was nerves.
[Pux]: First down again!
[Pux]: Nice to see they got their act together.
[Me]: Yep.
[Pux]: TOUCHDOWN, BABY
[Me]: EEEEEEEE!!!!!!
[Pux]: ...uh?
[Me]: Touchdown!
[Pux]: ....VW. The point of the game is that you do it with BUGS.
[Me]: Yes.
[Pux]: ...I will call Neil Patrick Harris ANYtime. I don't care that he doesn't do girls.
[Me]: Heh.
[Pux]: Give him the Farve treatment!
[Me]: I'll give it to Peyton - he is a damn fine quarterback
[Pux]: NICELY done.
[Me]: Not QUITE an interception.
[Pux]: but still nice.
[Me]: Yep.
[Me]: Good slap.
[Pux]: And my grandfather is being a pain in the ass about it. "What, you're not cheering for the team that you're not rooting for?"
[Me]: ?
[Pux]: He wanted to know why I didn't cheer when the Colts scored.
[Me]: Because they're not the Saints.
[Pux]: Exactly.
[Pux]: Wow, we got a whole MINUTE of play between commercials.
[Me]: I've had mornings like that.
[Me]: Good one, Coca-Cola
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Pux]: Oh god, the talking babies are creepy.
[Me]: yes
[Pux]: Yes, Neil Patrick Harris, I WILL call you.
[Me]: Reggie is the Flash in disguise.
[Pux]: *grin*
[Pux]: Oh. OH. WHAT WAS THAT.
[Me]: BAD.
[Pux]: Slightly better.
[Me]: Think we'll be kicking again.
[Pux]: *nods*
[Pux]: Annnnnd it's good.
[Me]: Only kicker with THREE outside of 40 kicks in a Superbowl now. <333
[Pux]: ...what?
[Pux]: ...oh. That's cute.
[Me]: That was a car commercial?
[Pux]: Yes.
[Me]: Fifteen minutes left of play.
[Me]: And it's anyone's ball game.
[Pux]: Yes.
[Pux]: OH.
[Pux]: So close.
[Me]: Fourth and two. Damn.
[Me]: Sack Manning! Sack him!
[Me]: ... that works too
[Me]: oh, that was wonderful
[Pux]: It WAS.
[Pux]: ... HAH
[Me]: WHOOOO
[Pux]: Wooooooow
[Pux]: ...that. Why? Why would you... what?
[Me]: I have no idea.
[Me]: first down!
[Me]: I really want a clip of that 2020 Brett Favre commercial.
[Me]: !runrunrunrun
[Pux]: I really REALLY hope the Colts lose right now. /does indeed take vengeance through gameplay
[Me]: 2nd and 2!
[Me]: (again)
[Pux]: We can do it!
[Pux]: BOOM BABY
[Me]: TOUCHDOWN
[Pux]: Touchdown makes me feel better.
[Me]: Oooh, we're going to try to do a two-point run.
[Me]: SO CLOSE
[Pux]: ...that is scary.
[Pux]: THERE are my clydesdales.
[Me]: That looks like a cool videogame
[Me]: Budweiser. Definitely winning the Superbowl.
[Pux]: <33333
[Pux]: keep it keep it keep it KEEP IT
[Me]: YES
[Pux]: AND IT'S GOOD!
[Pux]: Dude, how many replays is that?
[Me]: Many.
[Me]: Something to do while they reset the field.
[Pux]: And also during the challenge.
[Me]: Yep,
[Pux]: ABBY
[Me]: <3
[Pux]: False start colts.
[Me]: Heh, I thought it was the Saints jumping early.
[Pux]: OH
[Pux]: So close
[Me]: -- did we just. oh. so close.
[Pux]: An interesting face skid, though
[Me]: Football is good for watching people splatter.
[Me]: CRUSH THEM
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Me]: See! Like that!
[Me]: Stop them again, Saints!
[Pux]: eek, injury
[Me]: eeek
[Pux]: ...........what?
[Pux]: No, really, what?
[Me]: --- that's bad.
[Pux]: HELL
[Pux]: FUCKING
[Pux]: YES
ChaosAngel2112: *SPAZZES&*
[Pux]: FUCK YES.
[Tracy Porter's interception and 70-yard run for a touchdown.]
[Me]: Doritos, you're on crack this year.
[Me]: But it's fun.
[Me]: Wow, the Colts are getting most of the fouls.
[Pux]: When's Mardi Gras?
[Pux]: Never mind, I was right
[Me]: ?
[Pux]: Oma refused to believe me when I said it was Tuesday
[Me]: .... It's Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday.
[Pux]: As in this tuesday, I mean.
[Me]: Oh, no, it's not.
[Me]: It's the Tuesday after Valentine's.
[Pux]: Aha. ...then. ...oh God she really did think it was Wednesday
[Me]: .... *facepalm*
[Pux]: But. What. Mardi Gras. TUESDAY.
[Me]: Heh. We actually moved a lot of parades around this year because of the Superbowl.
[Pux]: *nods*
[Pux]: I'm sorry, Sketchers, I love you, but shoes don't work that way.
[Me]: Die, GoDaddy.com, die.
[Pux]: INDEED.
[Pux]: SmartBitches: RT @mariva: Super Bowl XLIV: brought to you by junk food, beer, and lotsa awesome misogyny! Whoo-hoo! #sb44 #brandbowl
[Me]: Budweiser, totally winning.
[Pux]: Indeed.
[Me]: CRUSH THEM
[Pux]: Agh.
[Me]: ... Saints.
[Pux]: Saints, come on. You have this game. Don't lose it, please.
[Me]: Of course, it's not like five yards make that much of a difference this close.
[Me]: FUCK YEAH
[Pux]: ...interception, but flag
[Pux]: WHAT
[Pux]: ...wow.
[Me]: We need the camera focusing more on tight asses.
[Pux]: Yes. yes we do. I do like those pants.
[Me]: I have no idea what just happened.
[Pux]: Timeout.
[Pux]: Time for more misogynistic commercials!
[Me]: With the interception and the pass interference.
[Seriously, I have no idea what happened in that part of the game.]
[Pux]: that was interesting
[Me]: Yeah.
[Pux]: COME ON SAINTS
[Pux]: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[Me]: ----!!!!
[Me]: We have 44 seconds and the ball.
[Me]: FUCK YEAH
[Pux]: THE SAINTS TOTALLY HAVE IT
[Me]: New Orleans is going to be still partying tomorrow.
[Me]: Hell, we'll still be partying Friday for the Saints parade.
[Pux]: And apparently the local paper predicted 34-17 Colts victory. AHAHAHAHAH.
[Me]: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[Me]: 31-17, Saints!
[Pux]: WOOOHOO
[Me]: Bourbon St!
[Pux]: HELL YES
[Pux]: This is a good year for Nawlins. Princess and the Frog, Saints...
Hotel rooms in the French Quarter are at 100% occupancy, according to the local news. Apparently a lot of people came into New Orleans to watch the game, because they figured if we won... That's going to be a party to remember.
