Let’s take this here partizzy to the roadizzy, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Dang, y’all, sticky wicket, what?
Britney Spears has suddenly developed a Madonna-like British accent. It’s true, Britney has developed such a British accent that she now drives her trailer home on the left side of the street.

It is pretty funny when Britney says “Cheerio, y’all.”

The best of all commercials
Advertisers are gearing up for the big Super Bowl commercials. My money is on the commercial where the Aflec duck eats the Geico lizard and then flies up and drops a load on Peyton Manning’s head.

Or something like that
Mike Huckabee’s campaign buddy, Chuck Norris, said he feels 72-year-old John McCain is too old to be president. And John McCain said the 67-year-old Chuck Norris is so old he would now have to star in “Using a Walker Texas Ranger.”

Darn
It looks like the writer’s strike will cancel all awards shows including ESPN’s Espy Awards. Shoot, I was hoping David Letterman would host the Espys: “Uma? Puma. Puma? Uma.”

We kid the Saint James
The “American Idol” in San Diego should be interesting. The songs that nobody wants to do are going to be outsourced to the illegal immigrants coming north across the border.

Bummer road
Sociologists determined that yesterday was the most depressing day of the year. Or something like that, I was too depressed to finish reading the article.


Not good
This was a bad week in the stock market, especially if you had stock in the company that makes “Duncan Hunter for President” bumper stickers.

Like Dave said, that’s why I ain’t runnin’
Political pundits are saying that Mitt Romney is too good looking to be President. I don’t know about that, if you ask me Romney looks like one of the members of that “Viva Viagra” band.

Political pundits are saying that Mitt Romney is too good looking to be President. I don’t know about that, if you ask me Romney looks like the guy in the Rogaine ad after-picture.


Heck, we’ve had handsome presidents before. President Warren G. Harding was supposedly handsome. President John F. Kennedy had no problems with the ladies. Heck, even Bill Clinton was a good looking guy even if he did resemble an aging lesbian gym teacher.

Shedding
Recent sports page pictures indicate Tiger Woods may be losing a little of his fur on his head. And don’t think Tiger isn’t sensitive about it. During a practice round, Tiger replaced a divot to his bald spot.

How cold is it?

It has been so cold in New York, the Knicks have been getting burned by other teams just for the warmth.


What’s in a song?
“The Washington Post” reveals candidates pick campaign songs for their title that are actually inappropriate. Barack Obama uses Aretha Franklin’s “Think” which is really a threat to a straying lover. Hillary Clinton uses Tom Petty’s “American Girl” which is about a girl who got dumped by her boyfriend. In fact, the only candidate who uses a song appropriately? Dennis Kucinich. He plays Randy Newman’s “Short People.”

Since you asked:


In my defense, I did predict both teams, San Diego and New York, would cover the spread, which they did. Frickin’ Giants.

For the Super Bowl, I can’t see the Giants stopping New England, yet Super Bowls are famous for their playing-not-to-lose closer scores. Not many teams get crushed like the 1985 Chicago Bears did to New England in 1986, 46-10 and that has been 22 years. Is that possible? Yikes. More recently, in 2001, the Ravens did put a thumping on the Giants, 34-7.

On the one hand you have everyone wanting to score in a Super Bowl, so that can drive a score up, but you also have to counter that with all the substitutions that get put in near the end to allow everyone to have the chance to play in a Super Bowl, which evens things out.

So I am sticking with the P-Riots to win in what looks to be an early rout but taking the Giants with their 13 points as they come back a bit with cheap scores in the fourth quarter when everyone, including New England, is loopy on Gaucamole and Margaritas. And take the over which is a pretty high 53.5.
