Eli Manning in the Super Bowl? Really? I guess it could have been worse, and now this frees me of any inner turmoil about who to root for - history is the only way when the Giants are on the other side ...
Was it just me or did Edwards look like Milhouse to Obama and Hillary's Bart and Nelson? This year, that might be enough to work ... check his purchasing history for any Fall Out Boy outfits ... But then again that might mean that he plays Veep to Obama or Clinton's Radioactive Man ... and Mickey Rooney loses again ...
Not much going on this week, but I'm sure it won't last ...

A Tale of Two Bowls
As NY heads to Green Bay and the Bolts head to Foxborough we keep hearing stories about Favre versus Brady and what a great match up that would be, which it would ... if it happens. That might be the greatest match up between Super Bowl QBs ever. On the other hand, if things go the visiting teams' way in each of those cities we could have a terrible match up between the two whining QBs that were traded for one another on draft day not too long ago.
I can't think of many games I would like to watch less than the Giants v. the Chargers, Eli's crying about playing in SD from years past to Rivers' yelling aimlessly at fans in Indy present. Awful. As exciting to watch as the first match up would be, the latter would outweigh it on the other end of the scale, the "this is the most miserable Super Bowl since the Trent Dilfer affair" side of things. Sweet mother. At least we will get to see some old-time, slobber-knocker football in both games, with highs for those days projected in the teens and game time temps being lower still. Last week's Pack/Hawks game was about as good as it gets with the snow ... "The HD Game" as Simmons on ESPN.com is calling it. Is it the game or how pretty the snow looks in HD? Go Pack and Go Pats. Seeing Favre end the undefeated run by the Pats would be a fantastic ending to the year ...

The Best Movie Name Ever
Nothing says terrible like "Escape from Monkey Island". If there was ever a movie name that screamed B (or C or D) rate film, it's this one. But B-rate isn't necessarily a bad thing. It doesn't portend to be anything more than a bit of fun shlock, with some mild swearing, poor special effects, and a bit of gratuitous nudity. The director isn't lying awake the night before Oscar nominations praying to hear his name called. Not at all. He is probably sitting in a bar, unaware there are even nominations being made, drinking pitchers of Pabst Blue Ribbon and wondering how he can get the mildly attractive but utterly talentless leading lady from EfMI to return for the sequel, "Escape from Monkey Island: The Lost Diaries of Curious George", all in the vain attempt to hook up with her and be able to afford another month's worth of pitchers of PBR.
That's not who I am, having found my talented and gorgeous wife, and being able afford a month's worth of twelve packs of Bud Light. However, that's what this blog aspires to be, a Monkey Island for the masses. Or maybe a place to write frivolous little tidbits and anecdotes that will be read by nearly no one. But that's what it wants to be ... and needs to be if I have a shot of keeping this up. As always, I thank/blame J. Michael Robertson's blog ( http://jmichaelrobertson.blogspot.com/) for inspiring this insipid, trite attempt of mine. A great professor does not necessarily a good student make.
