[CurlyBill]

I didn't see one started, so I thought we could get this thing going...

[RoseofTexas]

Does this mean you've missed the boob exposure, the horse fart, the S*** soap bar and the ALMOST oooooo so close $250 game pool ? Grab a chair sweetie!

The Half Time show made me feel old.

Most of the scoring happened in the last 2 minutes of the first half. Up until that point, the number of 3-and-outs was leading the total score.

Well, you know Dennis has to secure the exhibitionist base of the Democratic Party. He will pick up a point or two in California, Oregon, Hawaii, and Washington.

Re: I missed the halftime show. Let me see if I have this straight: Kid Rock wrapped himself in the flag, Janet Jackson has a pierced nipple and Dennis Kucinich was seen in all his naked glory on the 50 yard line?

Yep, that pretty much uncovers it...

That's about it...

Here's the antidote to that reprobate half-time "show". Musical food for the soul. Beautifully edited and filmed. Perfect sound engineering. George died November 29, 2001, and this concert was filmed at the Royal Albert Hall exactly "one year to the day", November 29, 2002. Beatle fans will remember the line from "A Day in the Life", sung by Lennon, "Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall."

Here's a sample review that is representative of the other 148 reviews at Amazon.com. Over 100 five-star ratings.

I have never seen as outstanding a concert as this. I watched it for the first time last night, and would have to say this is one of the best gifts I've ever received. Even my children, ages 10 and 13, were entranced. They finally understand why I've always said The Beatles were the greatest of all time.

From beginning to end, this concert represents the humility and talent of George Harrison. At no time does it become bogged down in sappiness. Even the surprise addition of a mega-celebrity to the Monty Python skit is so toned down it would be easy to miss.

The star of this show is soley George Harrison's music. Two things I must mention: Firstly, the presence of George's lookalike son adds a most surreal feel. At times, Dhani even adopts the movements of his father, and you would swear a teenage George has morphed from the Ed Sullivan Show directly to this concert. And secondly, as others have noted, Eric Clapton's rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" should go down in music and concert history. I've never heard anything like it in my lifetime, and I'm old enough to remember seeing The Fab Four's first performance on Ed Sullivan. It is moving as hell, and more brilliant than anything I've ever heard in rock & roll.

This is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone who ever cared for The Beatles or rock and roll in general. There is not a single song or erformance you will want to zip past. Every single moment is breathtaking.

I missed it. Where's the pic at?

[steveegg]

You still get penalties while the kick is in the air.

Smart money says this is a 3-and-out.

[baseballfanjm]

I hope the second half ends like the first one, lots of quick scoring and the Pats ahead.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Great. Now their server will crash as all the oh so incredibly offended can't click the link fast enough -- to see just how bad and offensive it is, of course...

[nutmeg]

Um, what the heck was that Cialis commercial all about? Something lasting over four hours...?! LOL

[Cboldt]

"Erections lasting more than four hours require immediate medical help"

Hello, after four hours, 'immediate' is not the right term.

Cialas

[Johnny_Cipher]

Cialis makes Mr. Happy stand up for 36 hours? "If Mr. Happy stands up for more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention." Riiiight ... call Guinness first.
