If you're in the U.S., will you watch all or part of the Superbowl? Do you have a favorite team? If you're not American, what do you think about Superbowl Sunday?

I will pay zero attention to the StuporBowl.  Nada.  None.  I'd have to think twice about watching if the Browns made it (but the game would likely be canceled anyway because great cracks would be appearing in the Earth's surface).  It's a media circus.  I long for the days of actual football and $12 tickets.

I finally got around to assembling the photos I shot this morning.  Anyone interested in taking zee looque may refer to The Great Snow of 2010, at my wonderful(?) web site.

Yay?

After shoveling the building out of the drifts this morning, I walked around the neighborhood a bit, camera in hand.  An interesting sight greeted me at 8th and Hayes, the site of the old Eat-n-Park.  I present, for your edification, two views of the tulip tree that stands by the building:

No, not the Comet™.  Never mind the Comet™.  My add-on shower broke, and I replaced it.  No call to the landlord, he's in hospital with his colon in a stainless steel tray.  I can't wait for that Rent Rebate check from the Lottery Commission in July.

Give a man a fish, and you've given him a meal.
If he is willing to learn to fish, and willing to actually fish once he's learned, he'll not be hungry again.
Otherwise, he's just an ass.

When I got my hair cut on Saturday, the stylist sprayed it with some STUFF™ to keep it in place.  The STUFF™ had a slightly strange but vaguely familiar aroma.  Well, she sold me a bottle that day, and I got around to looking at the ingredient list today.  Third on the list, right after denatured alcohol and cyclopentasiloxane, was "caprylic/capric triglyceride".

In layman's parlance:  Essence of goat sweat.

No wonder the STUFF™ smells like second-semester organic chemistry lab...

Yes, for the first time in about five years, I got a haircut.  I just hope that I don't look too much like crap.



Yes, that's my underwear drying on a rack.  Deal.

I flipped WCLV on while I was getting myself pretty(?) for the day, and what should come on but Paul Desmond's "Take Five", scored for five bassoons.  What a way to start the day!

What is the absolute worst song ever written? For what amount of money would you consider listening to it over and over again for 24 hours?

If not the absolute worst, the Tantum Ergo has to rate in the bottom five.  And I was subjected to it quite enough while growing up; I don't need to hear it again.

If you could experience being dead for one day to learn what happens in the afterlife, and were guaranteed to return to life the following day, would you do it? Why or why not?

Who the hell writes these questions?

I already know what happens in the "afterlife", and it doesn't involve personal perception.  The "afterlife" is the memories of you kept by the people who knew you.  For those who need trite place names, "Heaven" is overall good memories of you, and "Hell" is memories of you as a thoroughgoing asshole.
