Post SB...and Valentine's Day

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Maybe just coffee for me...

Way too much snacking last night through the Superbowl. I did discover something new (...well...for me)  These.

 Absolutely amazing! The sauce is sweet and smokey. The chicken is moist, tender and good. Fair price for something you can fix quickly. Nice for a snack, but you could easily serve them with sides and make a delicious meal fit for company!

 The game was great. 

Even though Stafford and The Rams won...it was close all night and could have been either team's game to the last minute and change. Exciting! Expect to see a lot from Stafford and Burrows in the future. We are witnessing the changing of the guard with the retirements of Brady and Brees and new blood with Stafford and Burrows and such...

The commercials were light and funny, for the most part.

Then there was the QR Square that just appeared and bounced from corner to corner of the screen.

Clicking on it would reveal what it was for...

Right.

It also gave the crypto-currency your contact info...so they could spam you endlessly in the future.

The BEST part about the whole commercial was that so many people chased the square down and clicked on it...

wait

for

it

 

...is that the site immediately crashed! 

LMAO.

They paid millions for a spot that promptly crashed their own servers.

(...also they have QR generators, now...wouldn't one of these with your own personal message be a great tattoo...)

The latest upgrade to the bar code.

I still kinda want a bar code of my favorite chocolate.

Know what else generated controversy last night?

Halftime.

 Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, 50 Cent, MJB, Eminem (who defied the NFL and knelt for Kap).

For the first time EVER..a halftime show comprised of Hip-Hop and Rappers.

Generation Z'ers were unimpressed...most of this work was before their lifetimes...and it was just a bunch of pushing 50 dudes onstage farting around.

Millennials were happy and excited. "Best Ever" This was their music and their heroes. They grew up with this music and these artists.

Boomers and above ranged from "meh" to aghast. They turned away for more chicken wings...or raved at the TV "You see, Ethel...the world is going to hell in a hand-basket!!!"

The more racist simply glowered with disgust

"Theys knee-grows on the TV, Tammy Sue..."

Rap and Hip-Hop were never my music. I am firmly a Classic Rock girl, myself...but it doesn't mean I can't understand why there are generations of people who LOVE this music.

(...to be fair, I do not care for most new country music either...Merle and Willie wouldn't have done it this way...)

So get a grip, people.

Just like Quarterbacks...things change.

Else we would be listening to Lawrence Welk at halftime, and the stadium would be filled with (tiny) bubbles.

Okay, the bubbles might be cool.

Now to get coffee, and recover from the game!
