Super Bowl

At one point during the Super Bowl -- when they showed a close-up of Ben Rothlisberger -- one of my friends asked, "Didn't that guy rape a chick?"

A girl slightly misheard the question and asked, "What? That guy raped a chicken?"

This led me to wonder:

Which is worse?

Which of the two acts would leave him further ostracized from American society? If he raped a woman? Or if he raped a chicken?

Would you be more likely to let your daughter date his son if he had raped a woman? or a chicken?

Would he be quarterbacking a Super Bowl team with millions of Pittsburgh fans cheering him on wildly if he had been caught raping a chicken?

(I'm not trying to make a point here, I've really just been stuck on this.)

I might not be ready to have a child:

I was sitting on the couch yesterday watching the game, when all of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye I noticed what I thought was a little toddler crawling towards us with a parent behind him.

Instinctively, I felt annoyed and thought to myself, "Oh man, who brought the kid? What a pain in the ass."

Then I turned my head to look and was relieved to see that it wasn't a kid. It was just a cat.

I was actually relieved to see that it was a cat.

I am allergic to cats.

Hambone and I made our first official Super Bowl pick last night. We took Green Bay -1.5. (They won by 6)

I liked Green Bay, plus I wanted to cheer for Green Bay, so when Hambone called me before the game I listed every reason I could come up with to explain why Green Bay would cover the spread.

I probably rambled uninterrupted for a couple of minutes, and after I finished, Hambone said, "Of all the things you just said, there were two that really got me to believe in the Green Bay pick: 1) you said that Green Bay's defense hits people in the mouth, and 2) you said that Pittsburgh only won two regular season games against playoff teams." (Atlanta and Baltimore)

Next year, I'll post our pick before the game.

...

Ok, the reason I'm afraid of kids right now is because of one kid in particular.
