Our thoughts on the Super Bowl XL halftime show. Also, any "wardrobe malfunction" predictions?

Please... make it stop!!!

Alright, is it just me or are these superbowl commercials lame?? "The Shaggy Dog" looks like the worst Tim Allen movie ever made and Kermit the frog is now selling Ford trucks? Actually that song is kinda cute...

What the heck? No Bud commercial this break?? So erm... how's the game going?

Why don't you go talk about it in one of the Brokback Mountain threads? There are about 30 to choose from. And yes, so far, the streaking sheep is the BEST commercial yet! Budweiser is not only dominating in terms of number of commercials, but also quality of commercials.

Every time I read one of these threads I say to myself "Damn it, I need to meet this guy cocheese."

Another good bud commercial! "No... I'm really fixing a leak in the roof." Also liked the Ameriquest.

What would you give for a fridge that magically stocked itself full of beer?

How about the one with all the chicks singing and dancing in their food dresses (tomato, meat, pickles, etc) eventually to pile up and form a giant women whopper??? Strangest... commercial... ever... Thanks for that Burger King.

Only really familiar with TTS. Wonderful part of New Zealand, lake Taupo is stunning! As for the DZ, it's a professional place with lots of nice people. Lots of tandems but they'll still get you on lots of loads. Say hi to Freddy for me!

It's called multitasking. Besides, I already know who is gonna win...

I read something today that said "is it a wardrobe malfunction if Mick's dentures fall out?"

Why are we here cocheese?

I definitely have to say that's exactly right. So what's the solution than? Just lower the BAC more or make driving with any amount of alcohol illegal? And how did they pick that number in the first place?

I agree with you, the problem is not those who have a beer or two and are capable of driving home safely. I think the people who pose a threat are the ones who are incapable of assessing themselves. I'm not going to worry about someone responsible that has a drink and can still drive safely, so why make it illegal for them to do so? I'm worried about the one drink that leads to another and another but they are still pretty sure they are OK to drive.

Man, I drove to the tunnel today on my way back from Colorado Springs but I just sat in the parking lot and stared at the beauty for a minute before hurrying to school. Good thing I didn't know there was some FLYING going on or I would have skipped class!!! How was it???

Ha ha ha! I heard Wednesday for the first flight test???

Don't forget the The Robusto Room for the flyers with more sophisticated taste. Come listen to some live jazz while enjoying a premium cigar after a little time in the tunnel. Definitely beats starbucks!

I'm surprised there aren't more about playing with fire so I'll add mine. Minor burns from "showing off" to my friends how long I can keep my hand on fire after dousing it in lighter fluid. Minor burns from experimenting with some thermite I got from my cousin. Minor burns on my face (no eyebrows) from spraying binaca flames into my face while trying to impress a girl. Minor burns on my mouth after blowing flames using gas from a lighter. Oh to be young and stupid... I want to here Walt's stories!!!

Are you two talking about the same brown out...?

She's adorable! Congrats!

They didn't have a chance. We're gonna go all the way this year baby! GO BRONCOS!!!

Just got home from Maui yesterday actually. Still adjusting to Colorado time... But a few things: definitely spend some $$$ on a plane helicopter ride around the island. It is unbelievable. Also, for a GREAT book on must see places, get "Maui Revealed-The Ultimate Guidebook." This will not lead you to your standard tourist locations, this will take you on a windy road near a cliff far from civilization where a lady is selling the best banana bread in the world, and that's no joke. The book is worth buying for ONE thing, the olivine pools. It is simply the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen and I've traveled just about everywhere! It's like this completely secluded small bay where wind and water has eroded into the rock cliff face and there are these pools you can swim in that are warm from the sun and no one is ever there... Seriously, words can't describe it and when you see it, you will know why you owe me big time. I attached some pictures of my visit. If you look closely, those two little dots in the pool at the top right of the olivine pools pic is my brother and I. That will give you an idea of how big those pools are that you can swim around in. Also, the last pic is not actually one I took, but I wish it was!

Like driving an automatic for years and then trying to drive a stick for the first time...

My tip to save money and time: STUDY STUDY STUDY before your flight lesson. If your flight school does not have a very detailed and specific curriculum, than talk with your instructor about what your strengths and weaknesses are and what you will be doing before next lesson. If you know the material before the flight, your concentration will be where it matters. Another thing: wait until you have a long period of time off of school or work. Vacation time, sick days, whatever. (This works even better if it's during a time when the weather is calm and predictable.) If you fly here and there once a week or have to skip a week because of work, I guarentee it will take a huge percentage more hours in the plane then if you fly four days a week without having to worry about homework or paperwork. Good luck!
