Camel Predicts a Giants' Win!

Princess and John Bergmann - Photo by Wayne Perry/AP

To continue the big hype for the big game, I have discovered a "can't miss" prediction for this year's Super Bowl!

 The prediction comes from a female bactrian camel in New Jersey. Princess "likes" the Giants. She's picked correctly in the last 5 of 6 Super Bowls! She is 88 and 51, lifetime, picking regular season and playoff games.

The way it works is that John Bergmann of the Popcorn Zoo in Lacey Township, New Jersey feeds Princess  Graham crackers. He places one in each hand with the name of a team written on each hand.

You can try this, at home with your own pet, or even with people.

Vegas experts pick the Patriots by 3 points. Princess isn't mentioning a point spread.

A creative idea by The Fitness Company. Heavy Weights were placed on various subway trains in New York City which creates an illusion that the person holding the safety bar is doing weights.

 

Super (Bowl) Ticket Prces

Scalpers have always been around. The Internet makes things more interesting.

 This year's Super Bowl will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. I've been there on several occasions. It's a great place to watch a game.

 I have friends who will be going to the "Big Game."  Most tickets were sold through the box office for $800 to $1,200. Pricey? You can buy the same tickets on line, now, for $2,200 - $7,800. Some scalpers are charging more. I was listening to WINS Radio and heard of tickets selling for as much as $17,000, each.

Of course, after the game, you'll want to go to a party. Maxim has a party, so does Playboy. These parties feature live music and an open bar. Cost? $450 - $1,500 per.

Did someone say something about a bad economy?

I'll be at home, watching the game, sipping on an Old Milwaukee and munching some chips & dip.

 

Super Bowl XLVI Ad - The Crazy Frogs

I am not sure about this one. The people who saw it on YouTube seemed to like it.What do you think about it?

Super Bowl XLVI Fiat Commercial

Here's an interesting ad for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Jennifer Lopez' commercials may have suggested that this is a "girl's car." This commercial may change that thought. This may be splitting hairs, but is Catrinel Menghia speaking Italian with a Romanian accent?

Super Bowl XLVI Chevrolet Commercial

Super Bowl commercials are sometimes the best of what Madison Avenue has to offer. Here's a peek of Chevrolet's ad for Sunday's game.

Nicki Minaj - "Stupid Hoe"

Yes, the music industry must be very proud of itself! Nicki Minaj's You Tube Video of STUPID HOE has racked up more than 16 million views in less than a week!

 Why do we love this song? Because it contains multiple F-words, N-words and B-words and refers to oral sex? It probably refers to other things that I'm simply too out-of-touch to understand?

Who buys this stuff? What kind of radio station airs this crap?

What kind of businesses advertise on radio stations that air this trash?

Are there any parents out there?

I watched the video and felt my IQ slipping away!
Take a listen/view. This is what kids are listening to, today.

Crap like this may partially explain the popularity of Country Music!

 



Lyrics: 

Uh, yo, yo, I get it cracking like a bad back

Robert "Juan Epstein" Hegyes Dies

It's been more than 30 years since "Welcome Back Kotter" debuted on ABC. This was the show that introduced John Travolta to the world. Robert Hegyes payed a character on the show named Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein. The character was a Jewish Puerto Rican underachiever. Very funny character.  He was famous for bringing notes of excuse, to class, signed "Epstein's Mother." The gag was repeated often and never got "old."

Hegyes died of an apparent heart attack after suffering chest pains at his Metuchen, New Jersey home  He was 60.
Here is a YouTube link to a scene from "Welcome Back Kotter."

Goodbye Banners

This blog has been around for more than 7 years. During that time I have experimented with advertising banners. For the past month, I added 20 banners from some very reputable companies. The marketing company that deals with webmasters (like me) says that I've had 205,279 ad impressions. Impressive? Maybe, until I see that only 32 people have clicked the banners! Most of the 32 people have been me...testing the links. Needless to say, I sold nothing.

I am not saying that the marketing company is a scam.  I am saying that I am no longer going to waste time with them.

For these reasons, I have decided to dump the "banner farm" approach. If you want to donate money directly...No, keep your money - and keep visiting!

Thanks!

 

Wednesday Foto - Heidi Klum

Today's Wednesday Foto could be sub titled, "Old Business."You may have heard that Heidi Klum and her husband, Seal are divorcing. Sad. They are raising 4 kids, under the age of 10. I'm not a sociologist, but I think you can guess who will be the real losers, here.

I checked and found that Heidi Klum has never been featured on this blog. Since she is in the news, I'll put my personal tastes aside and offer you this little picture. Click the image and get the big picture...and have a good remainder of the week!

 

Manning Scramming?

The NFL regular season is over. We are in the two week period between the playoffs and the BIG GAME.

 Yes, we have the diversion of the Pro Bowl (yawn) and nice little stories about commercials that were (supposedly) banned for the Super Bowl broadcast by the network.

Is the timing right for Peyton Manning to announce that he won't be with the Colts next season? Or. is the timing right for the Colts to pretend that they are making that decision?

The Colts may want to wait and see how many season tickets they can sell before making any kind of announcement.

 Manning says that he wants to play. Of course, we all want things. A serious neck injury is, well, serious.

 My prediction is that Manning will never play again. Whether he never plays again in a Colts' uniform or another, is still up in the air.

 

Monday Foto - Lucy Becker

The Monday Foto, this week, draws a pretty lady from England. Lucy Becker is a London native and the mum of twins.Lucy is a successful, working model, actress and commercial spokesperson. As you can see, below, Lucy is hard at work selling mobile phones.

I am told that Lucy had a breast enhancement going from a 30D to a 30F. I'm not sure how that works...when the letters increase, but the numbers don't?I guess I'll have to click the image to get the full picture and try to figure it out.

Have a great week!

 

Two Games, Two Anthems

Steven Tyler is a rock singer. The Star Spangled Banner is not a rock song. Excuse me, as I try to think about this logically. Well, Tyler was hired to sing the National Anthem at the Baltimore - New England game, today. I personally think that he did a horrible job, but I'm old. Wait a minute! Tyler is older than I am!




Bottom line is: Steven Tyler did as Steven Tyler does. There's no reason to be shocked about this. If you are upset with Tyler's performance, don't blame him, blame the people who hired him.

Meanwhile, at the start of the day's second conference championship game, Broadway singer, Kristin Chenoweth, sang the same song, at Candlestick Park...in the rain!  

If you choose to play the audio, you will hear the fans booing.  They are not booing the song or the performance.  No, they are booing the images of the Giants' players and coaches being shown on the stadium's big TV screen.  You would expect such behavior, during the National Anthem, to come from toddlers without a hint of culture.

By the way, Kristin Chenoweth was one of my original Friday Fotos.  A classy lady who can really sing!

 

"Supe's On!" New England & Giants in XLVI

Hakeem Nicks lets everyone know the Giants are going back to the Super Bowl.

In case you missed it, the New England Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens, this afternoon, 23-20.

 Following that game, the Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers, in overtime, 20-17.

So...in two weeks, on February 5, the Giants and the Patriots will meet in Super Bowl XLVI (46).

Vegas odds makers are favoring the Patriots by 3 points.

CBS: Coach Paterno Dies

Coach Joe Paterno has died. The Penn State icon was surrounded by his family at the time of his passing.

This story will be reported - at length - in the coming days.
For now, Paterno is survived by wife Sue Paterno, children Diana, Joseph Jr. "Jay", Mary Kay, David and Scott, and 17 grandchildren. A Brooklyn native and Brown University graduate, Paterno began coaching the Nittany Lions in 1966 and his tenure stretched to October, 2011, when he won his 409th game.

R.I.P., Coach.

Update:  This story is based on a CBS report which was taken from a tweet made by @onwardstate - an online Penn State news outlet.

Scott Paterno, a son of the coach, has since tweeted that his father is alive but remains in serious condition.

Further Update:  Coach Paterno died this morning, 1/22.

STOP CENSORSHIP

There's no question about it. Piracy is a problem on the Internet. It's a problem for corporations and ultimately, their customers pay for it.

 The remedy for this problem is not censorship. The remedy for this problem is to enforce existing laws!

 Lawmakers: You are "on thin ice" as it is. 

Don't screw with our Internet. You may find yourselves taking an early retirement!

David Beckham Gets A Raise

David Beckham has decided to stay and play soccer with the L.A. Galaxy.

 Reports say that the 36 year old will be getting $15 million over two years and that he turned down 18.7 million for 18 months with a Paris team.

Beckham has been pulling down $6.5 million a year with the Galaxy.

I may be missing something. I know he is a great player, and I know that he is a draw for attendance, both home and on the road, but the money seems a bit much for a sport that nobody around here seems to care about.  Maybe it's that new California Math which has been made famous by the Golden State politicians.

Patriots' Cheerleader

We are down to four teams. Each of them has the ability to defeat any of the others...on a given day.

 As usual, I'll point out the importance of defense, special teams and the kicking teams.

Priceline.com Kills Off Kirk

For 14 years, William Shatner has been the spokesman for Priceline.com. I'm a fan. The guy doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. This may be an act, but remember, he's been accused of not being much of an actor.Either way, Priceline is parting ways with Shatner. Below is the commercial which begins airing Monday. This is probably a case where the commercial is so good, that it is probably better than the product that it advertises!

Wednesday Foto - Tiffany Toth

This Wednesday, our foto features a young model from Southern California, Tiffany Toth.

The lady has many pictures on the Internet, but I like this one. It's simple and not as "posed" as some of the others. Of course, I didn't see any bad pictures of Tiffany.

Tiffany is a model and a makeup artist! She also has her own website: http://www.tiffany-toth.com/

Caldwell Canned!

Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell was fired today. His team won only 2 games, this season. Because of this, his future with the team had been in doubt for the past few weeks. OK, I realize that if a team is losing, some changes must be made, but was it Caldwell's fault. Probably not, entirely. Was Caldwell responsible for leading the Colts to the Super Bowl in his rookie year as head coach? Was he responsible for taking his team to the playoffs, last year, amid so many key injuries?

 Who's fault is it that Peyton Manning did not have a suitable backup?

 Is there a way that we can fire the owner?
