Gory League Highlights

I am often asked, Thers, that Altmouse shit was pretty fucking funny, why did you give it up?

Here's why.

Sorry, I just don't care. Except I heard that one team cheated. So I hope the other team wins. I did just hear Arlen Specter on C-Span radio talking about how Congress ought to investigate that cheating team because football is so important to America. My tax money is supposed to go into making sure some people playing a game don't cheat? Why doesn't he check out whether people playing Scrabulous on Facebook are using Scrabble Helper? God forbid he should confirm some judges or something more tediously congressional.

UPDATE: Actually, I'm watching now. Checking out the HD camerawork and the commercials — which are strangely appealing to women and look terrific in HD. Hey, Charlie Brown got the Coke. That's nice! Anyway, I was amused to see the lineup on the other channels. It's so obviously things they think will appeal to people who don't want to watch the Super Bowl. Like "Music of Seal on Ice." That is not a joke. UHD is showing "Music of Seal on Ice." Hilarious! Let's see. What else? "Auntie Mame," "Sense and Sensibility," "Legally Blonde,""The Parent Trap," "Indigo Girls: Live at the Roxy"...

Ooh! Touchdown Giants! I approve.

ADDED: Hey, I'm enjoying this.

AND: That was pretty cool. Love the 1 second thing....

+: NY!

On some lonely beach, an inflatable porpoise is missing its helium.

Shudder.

The true nightmare though is that the Corner is even worse. Here is its Boss referencing the Tom Petty halftime rock and roll concert:

"God bless" you too, dude. That was a nice, subtle Super Bowl moment. This American Girl is grateful. 02/03 08:29 PM

Half-time Half-thought   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I understand Romney has a good singing voice. Perhaps if he broke out into "I Won't Back Down" tomorrow, pundits might not be singing "Free Fallin'" about him Tuesday night.

Oh god oh god [hitting self repeatedly on head with sledgehammer].

This. Is. Hell.

That's why I don't cover her much myself anymore. Her damage has reached the stage where the blog is like an endless loop of Peggy Lee's mad scene in Pete Kelly's Blues. There's nothing left to engage.

[The Fool]

So the Cornertards like the Tom Petty set. I guess they think it was patriotic.

Did they notice the extreme snark in Free Fallin' about the good girl who loves Jesus and America? I doubt it.

Its just like when those morons thought Springsteen's Born In The USA wasn't an anti-war song. They hear a little USA! USA! and their brains shut off and stop listening.

[Max Renn]

We. Are. Dead.

and

This. Is. Hell.

Apologies to Mr. King.

I think KJL's praise of Tom Petty is an example of a level of pwned that I had not hitherto been aware of. I had no cognizence of this level of pwned'ness.

Hmm.

So do I. Remember, these are people who think Born in the USA is a tribute to Ronald Reagan.

Imagine the only two females left on earth are KJ-lo or the Alternator. Choose.

[Morty]

Was it you who did Altmouse? I guess I'm not surprised, but that was the best.

However, I do see your point as to the pointlessness of it after a while.

Anyways, hahahahahahahahahaha

Hilarious!

I agree. Sometimes I think I miss Altmouse, but in a way, the absense of Altmouse is the perfect parody of her vapidity, shallowness and dullness.

[Thers]

Yeah, it wasn't so much the pointlessness as what Roy said about damage. That's exactly the right word.

[Molly Ivors]

Hey, Charlie Brown got the Coke. That's nice!

The woman is impossible to parody.

Football Is For Republicans

So do I. Remember, these are people who think Born in the USA is a tribute to Ronald Reagan.

Ditto "Little Pink Houses," cuz it's chorus is "Ain't That America, for you and me? Ain't that America, something to see?"

[actor212]

I hate to agree with Oldhose, but she's right: it was nice that Charlie Brown got the coke.

Wait...I didn't see the commercial...we're talking about the powder, right?

[Dave Latchaw]

Charles Schulz would have never let Charlie Brown get that Coke. Corporate America destroys another cultural icon.

Fuckers.

[rea]

Let me get right to the point:
Let's roll another joint . . .

[El Gato Negro!]

Chinga armageddon, thees ees hell.

Bad Religion, señoras y caballeros.

[americangoy]

Thank goodness I skip the "supabol" and go directly into the Fox Soccer Channel coverage of more important stuff...

[Uncle Kvetch]

Thank you. As an avid childhood reader of Peanuts, that was my exact reaction last night.

How absolutely predictable that Althouse found it "nice."

[Halloween Jack]

Glenn Danzig ftw!

Hey, was there some sort of football game on yesterday?

[coozledad]

Would Charles Schultz have let Charlie Brown have a box of Franzia?

[Jemand von Niemand]

Althouse. Boobies.

Well, someone had to say it.
