Oblong leather in a Bowl

Feb 06, 2007 18:29

Look, I like football. A lot. I did not like this year's Super Bowl for approximately 7 reasons:

  1. It was in Miami. When was the last thing something good came out of Miami?
  2. It was played in a sloppy fashion.
  3. The Colts were in it.
  4. The Colts won it.
  5. Peyton Manning's head did not get separated from his body and roll down the field still encased in his helmet.
  6. XLI is not as cool a Roman numeral as XL.
  7. The commercials, they were... how you say... not good.

Worst of all, no football for another 6 months+.

I'm not even that excited about baseball yet. I may not be this year. Weird.

Tomorrow, I need to clean off my desk at work. Just to prove that I actually have a desk.

And now, on a serious note, I need to clarify something for, well, everyone:

A "suicide bomber" is someone who straps a bomb to him- or herself, walks far away from all other people, and blows him- or herself up. That's a suicide. If you strap up and walk toward people, well, you're just a bomber. And, if you happen to blow up around other people, a murderer. I have a bit of a problem with this distinction, and think it creates a false dichotomy.

All done.
