One of the most fun times I've had watching the Super Bowl was in 2008 at a bar called Madigans in New Orleans where the entire place was singing the Tom Petty tunes.

I wouldn't sing Bruno Mars songs if I were paid for it in handjobs.

What if they were university accredited handjobs?

When I got engaged, as a gift, my wife's friend got both of them a course on BJ techniques at some sex shop/education place in the Lower East Side. Unfortunately they ended up not going, which really pissed me off (because her friend gives horrible head).

I'm trying to imagine the scene at that workshop...

Let the sweet, sweet media whining begin! It's going to be fucking cold next week.

Welcome to the week before Super Bowl 48... RT @Espngreeny: The temperature gauge on my car says 1. It is ONE degree outside.

From their facebook site:

Learn how to give a truly memorable handjob.

Taught in a safe, identity and body positive environment, come learn with the best!

All welcome!

UPDATE: We'll be practicing on dildos provided by Good For Her. (They are lending us the ones they use in their workshops.) This is very exciting! There will also be a few zucchinis for those who aren't into a realistic dildo. And if you don't feel comfortable practicing, you can just hang out and watch. :) Totally up to you!

Why when I was in university, the Students' Society mostly just held cheap beer nights in the student centre. And those probably led to more handjobs than zuchini rubbing seminars.

So DSG, is she coming in over or under 2 minutes?

Insider info to beat Vegas. I love it.

Not known yet, actually.

And the line I heard of was higher.

Intra-office bet, not Vegas. And you're right, most places I see have it at 2:25. I guess I'll go over.

It depends, will she warmed up a little before I get down there?

Email came down today from the wing commander that we get to come in at noon on Monday. With the Super Bowl being broadcast at 0030 Monday here locally, it's a important that we get to watch it and get enough sleep too.

The Super Bowl is a big fucking deal. Makes me think: why not just reschedule President's Day and give the day of completely?

Interesting article about the "illegal" ways that the Broncos and Seahawks play that makes them so successful.

If the players would just let poor Rog add two more games to the season, we'd be set!

It took two people to write that?

They're both wrong. Refs not throwing flags when they're supposed to isn't cheating any more than getting flagged for a penalty for it would be cheating. By this rationale, the entire league cheats.

Strike that. Reverse it. I was signed up for some bullshit 3 day training course starting 0800 on the 3rd and it dawned on me today. I'm probably either not watching the game or very, very little. This place...I swear...

FIFY.

(I meant "place" as "my squadron." I don't yak about this much at all, but I'm done here when my time's up in June 2015. Not because of the country but because of the unit I'm assigned to.)

Anyhoo, enough of my bitching and threadjacking, here's a pic of what's really important about this Super Bowl (via Deadspin):

Don't like the German beers eh?

German beers are fine. Belgian are better. And that pic should have been in this thread!

So the bazillionaire who owns the Seahawks also happens to be the sole Benefactor of the place I'm working now. (Lets hear it for charitable giving!)

Anyways, that means that tomorrow afternoon we are having a "Seahawks Super Bowl Rally!" event, with catered food and beer and wine. And the entire place is shutting down at 3pm, so we can "get a head start on the Super Bowl Weekend!".

Pretty pretty cool....

I knew you were accepting clothing donations, but I didn't realize you were so down on your luck that your employment was an act of charity. Chin up Dave, better days are coming.

It's pretty cool and all and hope you have a good time, but my office does the same thing literally like 12 to 15 times a year for no reason.

I would do that every day if I worked from home.

Yeah, I only get to actually participate like 3 or 4 times a year, but working from home makes up for missing free food and beer every now and then.

(And obviously I can do it every day, but it's on my own dime is whats I'm sayin'.)

Sir Ian looks like what I expect Robert Smith of The Cure will look like in 20-25 years.
