I've always been on the Pepsi side of that war. It was super fun to see the polar bears!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Levi's has a history of butt-centric ads, it was some other ad that I cannot now recall that had me trying to remember where "BUTTS" as a general comment came from. I could not, so I'm glad y'all reminded me of Knut
There were a lot of appalling or offensive ads but I think the insurance company using Mr Rogers's song felt the most wrong
Consensus in our group of viewers was the "is it cake?" ad was pretty good, the horse and eagle was popular and the rest were meh to bad. I may be forgetting some that were all right but not, I think, many.

Yes, the horse and eagle was mighty cute. All the tech ones were pretty boring. I posted the NYT summary with all the links on FB since most of my family don't watch the game.

I didn't watch the Superbowl but checked the score and was happy to see the Patriots losing. Sorry New England friends.
The Bad Bunny show looked to be more significant cultural event.
Looking out the window I can spy a hummingbird at the top of the tree. But I can't linger, I've got to get to my morning Pilates class.
My niece is coming out to visit this week. Excited to see her.

I don't know Bad Bunny's music at all but that halftime show was fantastic
I started out rooting for the Seahawks by default but was enthusiastic about them before too long. A fun game!

Same, and definitely same. It was delightful!
Also loved Green Day getting to perform American Idiot (and Holiday) before the most American of all sporting events.
