Cure for Sadness

I love the musical "Camelot" with Richard Harris (God rest his soul.) Yes I admitted that. Shut up.

Anyway, in one scence Merlin tells Arthur that the cure for feeling sad is to LEARN something.

Today when I was feeling sad, learning that the Steelers were still miles better than the Cincinnati Bengals was cure enough for me but I'd like to share some other things I learned watching the butt-kicking.

I'll give the first few in quiz form to see if you learned the same things.

1.      The Bengals are:

a.      Better but not quite good enough

b.      Not even close to being good enough

c.       Never were and never will be good enough

d.      Suck.

2.      The value of a new cell phone lies in its:

a.      Thickness (or lack of..)

b.      The amount of lightning in its commercial

c.       The number of G’s

d.      The ability of the music you play on it to do serious damage to your surroundings

3.      True or False.   A commercial aired today that actually said that the now available DVD “Cowboys and Aliens” was the PERFECT gift.

4.      A Craftsman Drill is something that would be:

a.      At the top of my Christmas List

b.      In the top 5 of my list

c.       In the top top 100

d.      Never do I EVER nor have I EVER wanted a drill for Chirstmas..or anything from Craftsman.

5.      How many of the people I know have ever bought or received a car or truck as a Christmas gift?

a.      Just me

b.      A few

c.       At least five a year

d.      I don’t live in that world.  I’m not even sure it exists.

Other random Sunday thoughts:

*I hate Tim Tebow.

*When Troy Aikman said today that there are too many awards shows he became my favorite color commentator

*Microbeers give me a nasty headache

*Congratulations to my amazing 13-yr old daughter who had 12 rebounds in her first basketball game, took out a row of bleachers going for a loose ball, and put up our Christmas tree, all in a five hour period.

*Congratulations to my amazing 10-yr old son for killing thousands and thousands of his foes in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and for our 4-0 start playing NHL 2K11 as the Penguins.

*I am so happy we will be the first team to beat Green Bay this year in our Super Bowl rematch!

*Did I mention the Penguins have the most points in the NHL??

*Anyone else think the truck commercial where Santa is the salesman talking to the hunter in the showroom is funny? "sooo what do you hunt?"........"Deer.....FISH!......." (looks sidelong at Santa after correcting himself.)

*well...I thought it was funny

*I'm not a fan of either school but why is Syracuse getting the pass that Penn State never even came close to getting in nearly identical scandals?

*I hate Tim Tebow.

*How are the Texans still winning with Tyler Yates at QB?? .......exactly. I dont know who he is either.

*Can we just call the SEC Division I in football?

*Tomorrow nights showdown between the Pens and the red hot Bruins will be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals. You should tune in.

*Don Henley's Christmas song "Please Come Home for Christmas" is very underrated. Maybe the best Christmas song not done by Springsteen, Mariah Carey, or U2.......or the Pretenders.......or Wham.......

oh well....I began this post by sounding like I'd lost my man card......may as well end there.

Have a great week folks.
WE DEY!!!!!
