Guess who was drunk before the Super Bowl!

First clue: not me.

Second clue:

Which starting QB and carnal weapon of mass destruction was seen partying into the wee hours the night BEFORE the Super Bowl? An intrepid reader sends in this tip!

“I'm a regular reader of KSK and figured I'd pass this along. A (friend of a friend of mine) works security and was hired to work at the clubs this weekend. He said that (the horny bazooka) was out til 4 a.m. the night before the Super Bowl at a club called Rolex. He took some pictures but was forced to delete them. I was hoping to get the pictures but just found out this morning. I guess without the pictures it’s not much of a story, but thought you'd enjoy anyways. The guy said, right after that night, they made all the employees delete the pictures and if any pictures got out they'd all be fired.

After seeing how f'd up (the grenade launcher of love) was, he called to make sure we didn't bet on the Bears. Said he had been out Friday and Saturday night.”

This is just one of the reasons I'll never bet on a Super Bowl again. (I lost a whole night's worth of tips in 2002 on the fucking Raiders.) It's not a normal game, and it gets less normal every year. There's just too many variables factoring in to make an informed and educated decision on it.

What was he thinking? Maybe that it worked for the Red Sox, so it might work for him.

Oh, and Rush Limbaugh says quit dumping on the poor boy just because he's white.

Oh NO

An all-CGI Ghostbusters III movie, confirmed by Dan Akroyd. He's been saying for years he wanted to do another Ghostbusters movie (and we thought he got it out of his system with Evolution) but now he's got a script and he's got Bill Murray on board and the CG thing gets around the inconvenience of having 60-year-olds in grey jumpsuits. It seems like this thing will take off.

That sound you just heard was the entire internet groaning.

That Super Bowl sucked

It was terrible from beginning to end, with the exception of this:

Yeah, Prince pretty much kicked ass during the halftime show. This was CBS's first Super Bowl since the Janet Jackson ridiculousness, and since they split with Viacom, this halftime show was also NOT produced by MTV. What a difference it made. I'm not a frothing-at-the-mouth Prince fan like some I know, but I've got to give the man props for what I saw last night. With that stage, the lighting, and the weather, that rendition of Purple Rain gave me chills. It was certainly the best Super Bowl halftime show I can ever remember seeing (but, unfortunately, that's not saying much).

Other than that, the Cirque du Soleil opening was worse than any fruity Olympic torch-lighting, Billy Joel can't sing, the commercials weren't funny, and CBS apparently didn't prepare the squeegees for inclement weather even after those tornadoes near Orlando over the weekend. I really feel for any schmuck who decided to make the jump to HD for this game, since most of the playing field appeared on screen as a giant green-grey blur. For a couple minutes, I thought someone had changed the channel and we were watching the Incredible Hulk.

The game itself wasn't that good, either. I don't care for either the Bears or the Colts, but the Bears were underdogs and I cannot stand Peyton Manning or his "legacy", so I was sort of hoping that Chicago would find a way to upset. Unfortunately, Rex Grossman threw two untimely (and nearly identical) interceptions to ice it for the Colts. Hey, they don't call him the Cumslinger for no reason...

Uh...

...really?

We are very serious about this

The accused perpetrators of the Totally Bitchin' Boston Bomb Scare of 2007 hold a press conference:



Q: "Are you afraid that if you go to prison that you will get your hair cut?"
A: "That is a very good question."

Great to see these guys have a sense of humor about them in a town that has itself worked up into a tizzy over D batteries and LED lights. It is especially refreshing to see them make fools of the "journalists" covering this incident, who in this clip mostly chide the two about "not taking this seriously."

Dude. Seriously.

I am doing this as hard as I can

So by now, you've probably heard or read about the Great Boston Bomb Scare of 2007 -- the guerilla marketing of Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force mistaken for explosive devices. They're being ordered to take them all down, but that could be a little time-consuming and difficult, since the two guys who put them up are being arraigned this morning.

Apparently, there were approximately 56 of these devices put up in the City of Philadelphia recently. Now, here's the rub: with all the hype, people are putting them up on eBay and netting in excess of $500 per bomb-like device.

So, in the name of public service, I am currently soliciting information on the whereabouts of the remaining devices so that I may remove them and calm the hysterics (aka sell them on the internet at a 1000% profit).
