Insipid. Vapid. Dull. Monotonous. These are a few words that describe your typical Super Bowl halftime show. Toss in a few has-been celebrities, and overdone choreography, and YOU TOO can create a painful experience.
What I’d Rather Do Than Watch A Super Bowl Halftime Show:
Eat a whole jar of mayonnaise.
perform root canal surgery on myself.
Attend a weeklong seminar in Antarctica: “The best of the Mentos Commercials”
Stick thumbtacks in every square inch of my body
Form a “Phriends of Phaedrus” Club
Shave all my body hair and make interesting sculpture
Vote for Al Gore
Well, didn’t quite make it to 10. But why are we subjected to this year after year? It’s like a train wreck, you don’t want to look, but you do anyway. And you’re always left feeling ill. What a great game, what a bad halftime show.
Still trying to think of something witty to say here
Brief aside: I’m (almost) ashamed to admit that until I was 31, I didn’t realize there was a difference between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. I mean, my mother just never bought anything but MW, and I just assumed those other jars of white gellatinous stuff were filled with the same thing, so I always bought the jar that had the same label as the stuff my mom always bought.
A) Half time is for seeing what’s happening on SDMB
B) Made my own mayo for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Thought there was another jar on the shelf but there wasn’t. Used Julia Child’s recipe. Good stuff, but I’ll alter the proportion of olive/peanut oils next time.
