I just read that Lagy Goo-Goo Ga-Ga (?) will be the halftime show at the SB. Here’s the thing. Her act includes hundreds of drones that will be putting on a light show overhead. They had to get special permission from the FAA. For the life of me, I cannot see what could possibly go wrong with this plan.
I listened to her sing the National Anthem last year. I was stunned by such a beautiful rendition. She sung it the way it was written. Her voice reached all the right notes at the right time and I am not embarrassed to admit she had me in tears.
There was no political bullshit to it either.
This year may undo all of that for me.
I hope not.
Not bad. Not bad at all.

Man. I just messed up. I didn’t check my email spelling so I went to moderation. Then, I compounded the problem by cutting and pasting IN A REPLY to the comment being moderated. Sorry about that. Either there will be two or none, I guess.
That’s OK, 2/17 Air Cav.
Thanks for the post about Wills.
RISE UP!
George and Barbara Bush were guests at the SB. She looked G-R-E-A-T and he tossed the goin, which landed smack dab in the middle of a star. Very cool. The game is now but we may have already seen the best part.

LIKE.
👍👍👍
He tossed the goin?
Dammit,Air Cav, you just gave away the Mint’s new Seekrit Squirrel prize, to be found in every the pocket of every pair of Cracker Jacks ever issued to sailors, including wimmins sailors, worldwide.
That goin news bulletin wasn’t going to be released until tomorrow morning in the afternoon. Now we won’t have anything to talk about. I am sad.
“Tossing the goin ” sounds vaguely filthy.
Long time lurker, but I stumbled across something today which some of the readers may qualify for…and I swear, I’m not shilling for Pelican Case Corp.
I was looking for some Pelican luggage on their website and stumbled upon an unadvertised program they have called “Pelicans for Patriots.” If you qualify, you may order any Pelican case they manufacture, may choose one of four colors, and request either standard Pick N Pluck or dividers, or they will custom make an insert for you all for absolutely FREE. No shipping or handling, and you can even order online. BUT, here are the qualifying criteria:
The Protector Case is designed to protect and transport your valuable prosthetic[s].
Participants in the program MUST HAVE LOST A LIMB while serving in the United States, Canadian, Australian, and/or British military in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF).
For verification purposes, program participants must be willing to provide their prosthetist’s name and full contact information.
That’s it! I’m sure you all know how rugged and expensive these cases are. I think it’s a great gesture on their part. They ship within 5 days, unless you prefer a custom-made insert for the prosthesis, in which case it will ship in about 6 weeks.
The online order page is here: http://www.pelican.com/pfp
Well. The last time I saw someone blow that kind of lead was Hillary for President 2016.
That was indeed sad. Glad I didn’t have any money or sentiments riding on the outcome either way. The commercials were mostly lame, as well (with a few blood-boiling SJW/anti-Trump overtones thrown in).
In better news, the halftime show was much better than I anticipated.
Given Lady Gunk-gunk’s political leanings, I didn’t bother to watch the halftime show, I changed the channel while that was on.
