therobbergirl and I got to
Stephens Green ten minutes into the first quarter. Harp has been secured. We missed a touchdown already! Patriot domination of the field: unquestioned.
I have flexo (the laptop) set up. 1 minute left in the quarter.
Welp, turns out that wasn't a live outlet. Flexo's down for the count. Using spousal iPad, remembering why i insisted on a phone with a real keyboard.
So the menu clearly calls out tomatoes and peppers, but not half a can of totally gross olives? For shame.
Olives picked out, hideous pickled vinegar masked with dressing, dinner saved.
NFL football: where 10 seconds of actual gameplay occasionally interrupts a steady flow of commercials.
Someone is going to have to explain intentional grounding to me. I saw a guy get a pass and it looked to me like he put it on the ground on purpose? But it was okay?
Also how is knocking the ball away beforer the guy catches it not pass interference?
In the old country, we called it 'el pase al marciano' - passed to a (presumably invisible to all but the passer) Martian. Here we call it a preview of the Pats' oft-flirted with vacation in Chokistan.
Everyone covered pass targets, so the Steelers QB just ran it himself. Doh.
Furthermore:
therobbergirl looks totally cute. You guys need to know that.
Wish i could read lips so i could tell if Brady is cussing. He looks like he's cussing.
O goodness, halftime. Always deadly. Apparently the Pats have postponed their visit to the golden isles of Chokistan, for the nonce. They are showing evidence of having an actual defense.
Steelers slowly and painfully bumble out the half. Only took 15 minutes to run out the 2 minute warning.
More later.
