Good 36º cloudy gloomy foggy pressure dropping morning.
This is going to be a blog of mostly opinions.... mostly mine.
What a shock.
Ok, for a rerun of that great tear jerking Budweiser
commercial from the Super Bowl....
And for the ladies who missed or want to re-see the Calvin
Kline commercial ..... didn't score high, but .....

The AmeriTrade baby is usually great, but lousy this time. Then there was that stupid sickening pistachio commercial ....

Re yesterday's blog and the food, I was asked "what is
"a-crue-de-mon"....????"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"a-crue-de-mon"....????"
It's "accoutrements" plural of ac·cou·tre·ment
(Noun)
Noun 1. Additional items of dress or
equipment, carried or worn by a person or used for a particular
activity.
2. A soldier's outfit other than weapons and
garments.
Synonyms ... outfit -
equipment
In other words ... my way of saying
"additions" to the dish..... maybe if I were French I would pronounce it that
way.
And speaking of the Super Bowl... I didn't say yesterday, but
the "entertainment" sucked. Only exception was the Sandy Hook
school children and their song, America the Beautiful.
The half time show was awful. Beyonce was as if she was entertaining in a strip club! For Heaven's sake, the audiance is made up of more than drunken lustful men, there were women watching, young teens, grandmothers, and even small children! Between her and Janet Jackson with her "wardrobe malfunction" (BUULL SH*T!!) this "entertainment" has turned into some sexual act! Not only is this country being taken into the toilet by those running Washington, the entertainment industry is pressing the 'flush' handle! Go back a year... Madonna was joined by M.I.A., Nicki Minaj (YUCK), LMFAO (not an act anymore!) at the 2012 Super Bowl halftime
show, a performance made memorable mostly by M.I.A.'s decision to flip her
middle finger at the camera -- and the 100 million-plus crowd that was watching
at home, while she appeared to sing, "I don't give a (bad word)", although it
was hard to see clearly . More trash!
Alicia Keys sounded like she was in a 'slow down', as Lydia
put it, "jazz-infusing" mode. She added in her own words at the
end... She sounded like she was singing in a 'piano bar'! She sang so slow she will go down in history as taking the longest to sing the Anthem! Awful. To me it just ruins the song when it is not sung in the proper patriotic inspiring way!
2012 Kelly Clarkson added in her own notes and sounded
pathetic....
2011 trash Christina Aguilara sang the National Anthem and
flubbed up the words on top of making it her own tune with her annoying falsetto
on and on and up and down notes.
2010 Carrie Underwood... a cappella... not bad ... not my fav.
2009 Jennifer Hudson sounded like she was singing a bluesy tempo ... but
she was lip-singing! Come on..........
2008 Jordin Sparks....good but a little of that falsetto again ....not as
bad as Aguilara though!
2007 Billy Joel ..... ewwwwww......... he said, "gleemin' and streemin' "
he should have been wearing a kilt! Pathetic.
2006 Aretha Franklin & Aaron Neville ... gag. Oh wait....
DOUBLE GAG!!! Geeeeeze Louise!
In 2002 Mariah Carey was accompanied by the Boston Pops. The
Pops were GREAT, Mariah just about whispered the whole song! Not
patriotic AT ALL!
As Lydia remembered Faith Hill was good singing in the 2000
Super Bowl. I liked her too, but still her own notes... But, better than
Whitney.
Come on! Get someone who can sing and not make it their
personal statement!
I agree with Trish and Lydia that Whitney Houston was really
good, 1991 Super Bowl, but still not my cup of tea...no umph.
(maybe it was the drugs she took!)
(maybe it was the drugs she took!)
Now, one of my all time favorites was at the 2005 Super Bowl
when the Star Spangled Banner was sung by the combined military
choirs....
This one makes me feel patriotic and my heart swell and
that little tear appear in the corner of my eyes. (BTW, a game between the Patriots and Eagles, Pats wone 24-21 and whenever he's at the game, my Tommy Brady is singing along with the
National Anthem! Go Tommy!)
Here is a list of all the performers of all the Super
Bowls...
Then of course we have the ABSOLUTE WORST rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, performed (and that term is used loosly) by that pig slob Rosanne Barr at a Paderes game 20 years ago, at which after the last grusome note she grabs her crotch and spits! Talk about 'trash'!!!
Funny, the UPS guy showed up yesterday, a new guy, and I was
still in my pjs. I apologized and he laughed. We talked about the game and he
said he had a great party and his 'team won'. I laughed and congratulated him
and said, "You are the only person I know who was rooting for
them!"
All right. That's all. I need sun. I need a housekeeper, a
dishwasher, and a yard dude! Oh, and someone to bring in logs for the fire. See,
I don't want much.
Happy Tuesday. Nuff said. Ciao.

Let's see, my comment today is, You go girl! I agree, the Military was the best!
Have a wonderful day and we will chat later. xo

I knew a FEW of you would agree, but some, maybe even many, won't. If we all liked the same thing it would be a boring world. My concern is the way this country is going with the lack of patriotism and no flag salute in so many schools, etc. It's all about self-gratification and bad sexual behavior. Sorry, didn't mean to get started. Have a good day! xo Chat later.
Hey, don't be sorry, your blog, your right, and I loved it!!!! xo J
WOW, thanks!!! xo
Me thinks we are in agreement, or as Rush is told, "ditto"! .. Don S
When I saw Alicia Keys was going to sing it- I knew we were in touble. Did anyone see her performance at Whitney Houston's funeral? Perhaps she was upset that day but she was Alicia off-key and just kept singing Whitney's an angel now... over and over again. Bill O'Reilly didn't like the commercial where the Model kissed the Geek one bit! Love- t and g
Sue,
I totally agree with your comments about this years' halftime entertainment.
It sucked!!!
I think thats all that woman did was throw her hair around and pump her pelvic area the whole time.
I think the NFL has gone to pot regarding their choice of entertainment for each Super Bowl.
I would rather hear a person with a good voice just sing some songs, not gyrate around a stage.
Thanks for your comments!
John
Thank you John!!! xo
DITTO!!!!! THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE!!

Thanks Tammy!
Thanks Ann!

The so called entertainment at half time was a cross between madonna and some black stripper from a LAX nudie bar (I worked vice so it wasn't there for the watching, but arresting).
The USO commercial and salute to the troops at the beginning was the one that brought the tears to us. Paul Harvey and "A Farmer" for Dodge as well as the Budweiser with the Clydesdales (we have been to Grants Farm outside of St Louis where they have the stables) were all our favorites.
Don S (again)
Don, your description of the show was right on! Love it. xo
Sue,
I totally agree with your take on everything! You knew that tho because I wrote my opinions yesterday.:) I think the worse part was that horrid NA by Alicia Keys! She was so slow and drug it out so long that the usual sober and attentive players started talking among themselves. Don't these execs. audition these singers first??? John and I hate it when the singers put their own notes into the NA. It's awful!! They should always let the military sing it!!
You said it! Half time show did look like a strip joint show! I hope little girls didn't sit in front of the TV to see that and think it was cool!! Do you suppose they plan the shows just for the guys watching? Looks like it! Edda and I were talking about it and decided a great show would be a sh** kicking country half time show! :)
Thanks for posting the videos of some of the commercials. I watched the Clydes and his trainer one and had tears running down! I missed so many on Sunday because I was focused in on baby Isabella. John sent me the farmers/Ram one and I fwded to you gals last night. Being from a farming family and owning a Ram I thought it was fabulous! :)
I am like Bill O, hated hated the Go Daddy one. Stupid and yucky!!
Hugs, XO Trisha
Let's hope, Lydia is right and Bon Jovi will be the entertainment next year! I PRAY!
Thanks for your comments. xo
Good morning.
I had my morning cry over the Clydesdale running to his master. I would have a hard time getting rid of any animal I raised. That was priceless. I love their ads.
I agree with the choices that are made of the people that sing the Star Spangled Banner. Don't they ever listen to the singer before hand? It is a disgrace.
I'm glad you blew off steam about all of that stupid stuff.
I agree you need a dishwasher, a yard guy, a wood man, and someone to rub your feet and keep you company. Work on that. LOL
Patty
Patty, you silly. You make me laugh! xo
