Superbowl Won and Lost

My first Superbowl on US soil turned out to be the most exciting one I've seen yet, with the New York Giants squeaking past the (previously unbeaten) New England Patriots in the last minute. A better game than last year, by a long way!

I even wanted the Giants to win, though mainly because it must suck to be a pro quarterback, only not as good as your brother. I think the NFL should engineer a sibling rivalry superbowl, next year. Right? Let's make it happen.


(I thought about using this picture from the half-time commercials, the inspiration for one of the funnier comments at our Superbowl party. But it wouldn't be fair on Eli.)



I'm about to reveal my guilty secret. Yes, it's...the return of Lost! The second episode aired last night, and it is highly exciting. I recommend you watch it.



And finally, time to reveal someone else's guilty secret.

I think at this point you should say what the joke is...

I'd like to...but perhaps some guilty secrets should remain secret?

Meh. How about A joke?

I'll consider setting up a `Joke of the Day'. Contributions welcomed.

I know the worlds oldest joke.

How do you entertain a bored pharaoh?

I'm not sure. How? Here's something in the same vein:

Q: What was written on the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh? A: Toot and come in!

You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish.


Your joke is good. Mine is the oldest recorded joke, inscribed on papyrus in 2600 B.C.

It probably went something like:

Ahnk Ahnk birdheadedman eye Ahnk?

Crocodile reed fish!

What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back?
