Super Sunday... hah! Halftime. I did see two commercials that made me laugh out loud, though. And I did see about a thousand fools during the pre-game show. Yeah, those dumb-asses that use their flashes to take a picture of something 100 yards away. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Do they not teach elementary physics in school any more?
Or did they ever? I can't remember... is that physics or just common sense? It's more likely to be physics, 'cause I can understand it... if it were merely common sense I would probably have trouble with the concept. Actually, the idiots are still there at the half-time show, which is featuring U2. I really don't see the attraction of U2, but I never have been into band-worship, except for the Beatles, and that was only for a short while, and only then it was just mainly to impress a girl. Didn't work, either. Last time I tried that.... 21:20... Humility is a strange thing... I do believe that it was made up, along with religion, to make men easier to rule. It is, indeed, a sin to question. How the xian can be, on the one hand, humble beyond belief, and on the other expect the god of the universe to answer prayers... this really puzzles me. It's like, "I'll bow my head in humility because I'm absolutely worthless and if I have enough faith my prayers will be answered and I'll win this football game! Because god likes me, he really really *LIKES* me!" And, of course, the people on the other side are doing their praying too. So, does it all come down to whoever prays the best wins? If that's the case, why not just flip a coin? O'yeah, then we'd miss out on the new ads, wouldn't we? Actually, I've heard ball games and wars being settled by whoever has the baddest-ass invisible friend.... We would, in fact, be much better off Sometimes I act like I know what I'm talking about and sometimes I really do and sometimes I really don't and I can't really figger out a pattern to it. Politicians and preachers, they're easy... if their lips are moving, they're lying. I'm much more subtle. Well, maybe the word shouldn't be subtle, but dense. That's one thing that I like about me, I can make fun of myself and really mean it. Some people will fake it, y'know... like, "I'm really ugly", hoping that someone will come up and say, "No, you're not, just... well, maybe a little bit..." or something like that. Fishing, I believe it's called, for a compliment. Not that I'm above such a thing, mind you... it's just that I've never found it to work. So what would make people abide by the chance flip of a coin? Damnfino. It's worth a try, though... we can't do any worse than we've done lately, can we? Damn. It's late, and tomorrow is Monday.
Good game, I was kinda rooting for the rams but I don't really have an emotional investment in them, so the outcome was OK with me. Come to think of it, I really don't like Warner, the ram QB, very much, especially since he said that the rams were god's team and that they couldn't lose because of that. And they damn near won, being down 14 points and coming back and only losing by a field goal in literally the last second.
if all human conflicts would be settled with the toss of a coin, with all sides everywhere regarding that as the final arbitration. OK: will it be Israel or the Palestineans whose citizens shall reside in this area? Flip a coin. Should mom or dad get the kids? Flip a coin. There would be no right or wrong, just a decision. No cheating allowed, no questioning. If you can pray to something to influence the outcome, with the exception of outright human sacrifice, more power to ya. Make your deals with the devil of the gods, but never, never touch that coin as it arcs towards its fate. Your fate.
