Now, Carl, keep your chin up!  The Seahawks will triumph.  How do I 
know this?  It came to me in a dream . . . Elvis and Marilyn Monroe 
were singing a duet at half-time.  Marilyn reached and grabbed Elvis by 
his leather jumpsuit, there was a wardrobe failure, and boom!  Elvis' 
right breast popped out.  This so upset Pittsburgh that they were all 
butterfingers in the second half.

BTW, I wish ya'll a happy indoor picnic tomorrow night.  I'm sorry I 
won't be there, but I'll be in Raleigh, NC, moving my grandmother out 
of the house she's lived in since the Miocene.  She has a vast 
collection of Miocene-era Life magazines that she refuses to throw away 
because they might be "valuable."  Plates from the Franklin Mint, Avon 
collector perfume bottles, several shag-cut wigs . . . her house is an 
un-catalogued version of the American History Museum.  If anyone would 
like me to snag them some groovy 1960s fashion favorites, just let me 
know.   Pill box hats, short plaid skirts, knee-high, zip-up boots with 
a chunky heel -- my grandmother has not, to my knowledge, discarded any 
articles of clothing since the Kennedy assassination.

Which reminds me, my grandmother collects JFK/Camelot memorabilia -- 
books, magazines, photographs, newspaper clippings, etc.  Her greatest 
prize?  A JFK salt and pepper shaker.  A figurine of JFK (the salt) 
sits in a pepper shaker rocking chair.  Several years ago, I dropped 
the damned thing and broke JFK's head off.  My grandmother glued it 
back on, but it's never been the same.  Art imitates life . . .

Yes, I know; the preceding was in extremely poor taste.  You expected 
something else?
