I've heard (and it could be wrong) that the NFL guards their copyright so you can't even say `Buy Beer here for the YOU KNOW WHAT' which is why they say `Buy Beer here for THE BIG GAME' Stephen Colbert got around this by calling it Superb owl.<br />gasarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004932739846901628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-54192848005610309852021-03-10T00:28:39.169-06:002021-03-10T00:28:39.169-06:00Actually (2) is something that I am picking up doi...Actually (2) is something that I am picking up doing recently.<br />It's like having been shown a proof, and then trying to<br />go through it again by yourself. <br />Well, what a bad analogy ... but u get my point.<br />It's Super owl? or Super Bowl?EGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-67754881820452834162021-03-08T18:37:50.555-06:002021-03-08T18:37:50.555-06:00One of the strangest "Peanuts" comic str...One of the strangest "Peanuts" comic strips I've seen is this one (warning: if you have not seen the movie "Citizen Kane" then you may not want to read this strip):<br /><br />https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1973/12/09<br /><br />The strip is all about how inconsiderate it is to spoil a movie for someone.
