Good 36ยบ 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.
