It's gonna be more confusing when we reach SB 50 or SUPER BOWL L

eddievercetti: It's gonna be more confusing when we reach SB 50 or SUPER BOWL L

I'm looking forward to Super Bowl MMMMDCCCLXXXVIII

it pretty much jumped the shark at SB 38. Christ, how many Roman numerals do we need?

I've been looking for that image of eli where he's calling a time out towards the end of the 49ers game and he looks absolutely just wrecked. Cannot find it..any help?

I don't get the complaining about numerals, but eh, w/e.

IAmRight: FloydA: That is an excellent idea!

It ruins things for nerds that know dumb sh*t like "what year was Super Bowl XXV played in?" and therefore eliminates those Trivial Pursuit questions.

Then they'll just ask "What year was the 25th SuperBowl played in?"

Talondel: Chariset: FloydA: I always love your posts (not in a homo-necro-bestial-sado-masochistic way).

I love your posts. THAT way.

I pin them to the ceiling above my bed and think, "Oh Floyd A, when will it be you up there?"

And I cry. A lot.

/Checks to see if Chariset is a dude.
//Pic of cats
///Name Heather
////Not a dude
//Looks like FloydA could be having a pretty good night

Except for the whole being pinned to the ceiling thing...

That dude is droppin' the IV I I

FloydA: So the author's principled stand

What principled stand? He's just being a fake-ass hipster.

GAT_00: FishyFred: Starbucks sucks.

I tried that new blonde coffee of theirs. It actually wasn't overroasted. It was nice.

I'm a serf in the vast Dunkin Donuts Empire, but I did hear about that blonde coffee in a radio ad and I'm intrigued!

GimpyNip: Oh...and Dunkin Donuts sucks. Less taste and caffeine than Starbucks yet more expensive. Dunkin Donuts is for Massholes nursing bud light hangovers while puffing on Marlboro light 100's.

What about Massholes nursing a local brewery or gin and tonic hangover before puffing on a primo bowl?

/Starbucks blows ass (but probably tastes better) and is MUCH more expensive than Dunkins across the board....Where the hell do you live?

FloydA: So the author's principled stand against Roman numerals is not just stupid, but pointless.

I think that is part of Salon's mission statement.

It's hard to read the rest of the sentence when you start with an Oxymoron like that...

Pocket Ninja: You know what an awesome writing technique is? To end every one of your paragraphs with a parenthetical that expresses some slightly off-topic but mostly apropos witticism that is too difficult to work into the regular flow of the article but nevertheless still adds to your word count (actually, it's the mark of a rank amateur with very little to say).

That said, he did make some pretty accurate calls -- basically 5-for-6 (he ought to gamble with that sort of success rate).

GimpyNip: FTA: 'The New England Patriots have the confident glow of an omnipotent serial killer with a medical degree after they surgically carved up the corpse of the 1958 Nebraska Cornhuskers, aka the Denver Broncos.'

This is worst thing in the entire article. This guy, this guy right here, thinks he's a lot better of a writer than he actually is.

I know, I'll bet the Nebraska QB in 1958 actually completed 50% of his passes.

I live in Boston. It's $2.21 for a large coffee at starbucks. It's $2.27 at Dunkin Donuts. Starbucks has twice as much caffeine as well. Way more bang for the buck.

/since when is having an opinion snobbish? They're both chains. It isn't like I said I'd drink coffee refined from beans crapped out by an Argentinian Gopher then brewed in a French Press. I know you didn't say that, Mugato did but his statement was retarded

This is better than any Salon article anyway, so commence the threadjack!

I haven't been to a Starbucks in almost a year, but I was spending (or so I seem to remember) upwards of 40 cents more for coffee at Starbucks than at Dunkins. This holds up in Worcester Mass as well as NYC. I also generally drink my coffee black and genuinely find the basic coffee a little better at Dunkins. In the summertime, the ice coffees don't even compare. I pay way more for about half the volume of coffee (Dunkins has no problem going easy on the ice) at Starbucks and simply don't enjoy it as much. Usually the defense of Starbucks comes in the food options, creamers, and specialty drinks, so this was a new angle for me.

The most important part though, is I can't trip over a foul mouthed college chica around here without hitting my head on a Dunkin. I have to actively search for Starbucks and it's simply not in my morning commute.

The reason Starbucks calls their 12 oz. coffee a "tall" is because their 8 oz. coffee is called a "short". Every branch offers their drinks available in "short". And none of the baristas care if you order a "small" when you mean 12 oz., they're not pretentious about it.

Also, BloodySaxon, Starbucks will make you an iced beverage without the ice if you ask. At least they do at my local one. It's just as cold and you get even more volume.
