It's Super Bowl Weekend, so naturally, there had to be a Super Bowl Weekend Assignment from John Scalzi, "blog-father" to the AOL Journals community, author, husband, father , and cheap date:
Weekend Assignment #46: Make one new rule to apply to the Super Bowl. This new rule can apply to any aspect of the Super Bowl, from the game to the spectators, to the halftime show, to the commercials. If it's got something to do with the Super Bowl, you can make up a rule about it.
Extra Credit: Your pick for winner of the Super Bowl. Naturally, don't bother doing the extra credit if it's Sunday evening.
Dear John,
How nice of you to ask for our input on this year's NFL Super Bowl Rule Changes. I, being the hairy, hoary curmudgeon that I am, would prefer to see the TOTAL ABOLITION OF AMERICAN AND CANADIAN FOOTBALL. Come on, John. The rest of the world plays football. We play some cretinous version of a field combat exercise, without benefit of the busted heads and bodies of true Rugby players, from which Am-Can football is derived. It's like Capture The Flag, without the flag. It's a disgrace. Enough said.
As always, our love to Krissy and Athena. That photo you had on By The Way yesterday of Athena really upset me - not only does she look like she's growing by leaps and bounds, but she doesn't have her seat belt fastened! Very disturbing. I don't care what you do - you're an adult. But there is no excuse for not having a child belted in. I have spent too much of my time dealing with maimed and dead children from motor vehicle collisions (not "accidents" -- there is no such thing) to let the matter pass without comment, John. I do hope it was just an anomaly from having her picture taken, but it sure looks like the belt is clipped in to silence the buzzer... and if that is the case, foo on you ... may the Great Bird of Foo do it's thing on you.
Grins and giggles,
wil
P.S. The Patriots. Because they are the home team where I live and certain death would accrue if I suggested the team I grew up rooting for, even if they are a bunch of bums and miscreants.
