Uncle Grayhawk's Front Porch

Once again, it's that time of year, the time of year where we celebrate that most American of modern holidays: The Super Bowl (or, as my World History teacher, Mike Gould, called it, the Hyper Bowl).

(Side note: While I'm a big fan of tradition, I continue to maintain that the NFL needs to move the game to Saturday night so that people have Sunday to clean up and recover from the parties. )

Alas, my beloved Philadelphia Eagles will not be playing, but I'll still be watching. All I really hope for is a good game and a handful of humorous and/or innovative commercials. This year...I really don't know who will win. Nor do I have a favorite. Growing up an Eagles fan, it's hard for me to root for the Giants. And then...New England and three points, man. Not sure this is the best possible matchup for the NFL, but it's in the top three - two storied franchises with large and passionate national fan bases, rematch from a few years ago... Should make for good ratings.

This year, we'll be at home. We'll do the Pathfinder game in the afternoon, and have chili and sauce-your-own-wings for the game. If you wanna come by, you're welcome to do so, just lemme know.

In the meantime, here's a few polls for you to fill out if the mood so strikes you.

This year...I really don't know who will win. Nor do I have a favorite. Growing up in South Jersey, Pittsburgh was always the AFC team it was ok to root for, and I admit to a soft spot in my heart for the Packers (unless they're playing the Eagles, then they can all burn). I think that this is the "Dream Game" for the NFL - two storied franchises with large and passionate national fan bases. Should make for good ratings.

So, it's that time of year again, the time of year where we celebrate that most American of modern holidays: The Super Bowl (or, as my World History teacher, Mike Gould, called it, the Hyper Bowl)

Alas, my beloved Philadelphia Eagles will not be playing, but I'll still be watching. All I really hope for is a good game and a handful of humorous and/or innovative commercials. I have to admit, I'd like to see the New Orleans Saints win this year, as they haven't done so before. Were I a betting man, however, my money would be on the Colts.

We're not 100% sure where we'll be this year. The current plan is to me at matt3485's for the annual "Kielbasa Cup Super Bowl Party", but weather may conspire against us - mainly because mousecat0 may be required to stay near DC for work purposes.

Dungeons & Dragons Soda

Magic: The Gathering Soda

I'm tempted to buy both to do a taste report.

Alas, my beloved Philadelphia Eagles will not be playing, but I'll still be watching. All I really hope for is a good game and a handful of humorous and/or innovative commercials. I have to admit, I'd like to see the Arizona Cardinals win it (sorry junkpc & ginabeth), as they haven't done so before. Were I a betting man, however, my money would be on the Steelers.

We'll be at home, keeping it low-key. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law may come over, but they will be there more for the company and the food than the game. Which is just fine with me.

But hey, here's a few polls for you to fill out if the mood so strikes you.

So, yeah, today is the day of little to no work at work since the IT contractors are having their holiday potluck today and the gov't IT people are having their holiday party later.

So here I sit wearing my Grinch tie and Eagles Santa hat, and I'm moved by the spirit of the season.

So here's some polls for people to answer. I encourage you not to be a Scroogy-Grinchy Claus and have some fun filling them out.
