Yes ... my loyal and faithful readers ... major congrats go out to Big Blue and Eli Manning for their super-exciting and nail-biting 21-17 win over The Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, beating The Pats for the second time in 5 years.
Here are the headlines in the local papers ...
SUPERMEN!! MVP Eli, Tuck lead Giants past Pats.
New York Post
ELI SUPER IN BIG BLUE II - Manning again MVP at Brady’s expense.
The Daily News
THE TITLE COMES BACK - A Final Manning Rally Caps an M.V.P. Effort
The New York Times
But OMFG!! It seemed as if every 2 minutes they went to commercial break ... I know ... I know ... but come on guys ... it’s about the game ... not selling TV ads ... and ... oh ... wait ... Billi Pod’s inner self has just advised him in no uncertain terms that the event is indeed about selling TV ads and that without them there would be no Super Bowl ... right ... sorry inner self ... my bad ...
Anyway ... Billi Pod totally skipped the pre-game and half time programming ... at half time he actually switched channels for 30 minutes.
The big victory parade is scheduled for Tuesday at 11:00am starting downtown and passing through what is known as “The Canyon of Heroes” and ending up at City Hall Plaza for all of the ceremonies and stuff.
Yes ... Mr. Lard-Ass aka Governor Christie ... the victory parade is gonna be in New York City not over “there” in your pathetic cesspool known as New Jersey ... so stop your whimpering and crying and man-up for God’s sake ...
It is estimated that at least one million people will be along the parade route. Will Billi Pod be there, I know you loyal and faithful readers want to know? Nope!! No way!! Will watch it on the tube from the cozy confines of PHC.
Now that the football season is officially over Billi Pod has already begun the mental countdown to the beginning of baseball’s spring training.
LOVESICK OR THINGS THAT DON’T HAPPEN, the musical comedy about that dreaded day (for guys) known as Valentine’s Day==>B
I thought that the cast and musicians did an excellent job but the humor got kinda old rather quickly and the show felt a bit too forced. Having said that ... it is still worth seeing.
As many of you readers know, Billi Pod regularly reads the comments on the theater-related chat board known as All That Chat
http://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat/
and he sometimes posts under the user name of: ReverseSnowbird.
Well, yesterday one the the guru’s of the board, who posts as jesse21, made reference to a production that was being staged down at the NYC Skirball Center. It is a revival of the highly acclaimed Frank Loesser musical THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.
jesse21, whose opinions I trust and almost always agree with, gave the show a glowing review and mentioned that there was a performance for Monday evening (usually a very slow time) and ...tada ... senior citizen tickets were only $5.00.
This was all Billi Pod needed ... he immediately booked the show ... so ... his entertainment event for tonight is ...
8:00==>THE MOST HAPPY FELLA - “Before online dating, mail-order marriage provided confusion, heartbreak and romance. This Frank Loesser musical explores the love triangle between an older wine maker, a young waitress and a handsome foreman, in the rolling hills of Napa, California.” (Off Broadway - $5.00 senior discount ticket).
This production is part of the NYU Music and Performing Arts Department at The Skirball Center, down in The Village.
It is cold again in The Big Apple==>32º @ 8:00am but it has “warmed” up to 45º at 1:00pm, so Billi Pod has no excuse for not getting out there and doing his usual Monday errands and stuff ... so ...
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS AND GO BIG BLUE!!
Billi Pod
