Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Praise be, I was beginning to think that Chicken Little was actually right....:-) Yup, the tv will be on with the sound turned down facing the center of the room. Altho, someone on one side of the room or the other always tries nonchalantly (sp?) as they are walking past to turn it a bit more towards their direction. I'm on dayshift, so no special snacks. And the football decorations would probably clash with all the Valentine hearts and arrow boys hanging around. Have a great day all!! Bob Quote
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 I'm not working.....though i'm fairly sure my feathered friends here in new england will be watching. I AM however due in at 0200 hours for overtime.....what we will be aware of is the winner, and any possible....celebrations or lack thereof....here on campus post-game. I plan to be in la la land when the blessed event starts however. (How many points do you get for a basket in football anyway ?) Diane G UVM PD (ignorance of sports only partially feigned.....) Quote

I usually notice those >kind of things. She was wearing a pastie, which implies that it was expected. At least by Janet. I think CBS really didn't expect it and they said they will never hire MTV to produce a half time show again. Wow. >Really liked the Budweiser commercial with the horse pulling the sleigh in >the snow and woods. Poor horse needed Gas X tho. That was the BEST commercial. All the others seemed pretty boring. _________________________________________________________________ Scope out the new MSN Plus Internet Software — optimizes dial-up to the max! http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-us & page=byoa/plus & ST=1 Quote
