Super Bowl, HDG Returns

The problem with being a Half Dead Guy is you are in the gap.  The gap between young and old, energetic and avuncular, taking action and pontification.  If you fell of the edge of the earth (International Flat Earth Society) would anyone even notice?

There were a few calls of “what ever happened to HDG?”, aren’t you writing anymore?   Well, the reality is that HDG was taking a long break from the aftershock of realizing he moved past center and is now more than Half Dead Guy.  Like an engine burning blue, HDG is ready to jump back into the blogosphere and get cracking.

The Super Bowl brought much conversation today, from tasteless commercials, to Christina Aguilera flubbing The song, to the Black Eyed Peas’ Tron-like halftime show.  We applaud the news with our own udder-ly shameless Super Bowl picture of Wisconsin Dairy land’s very own:

I’m more than Half Dead Guy and am damn proud that I:

  • Knew all 4 of the 4 popular songs performed by The Black Eyed Peas, but I’m pretty sure they were all really old songs, half of them remakes (samplings) of other songs.
  • Knew Christina Aguilera screwed the pooch on the National Anthem when even the players looked more confused than normal.
  • Knew Tibet was off limits for all but the most abrasive comedians, including Ricky Gervais – star of the Golden Globes.

An excellent reason to show bikini clad girls before the SI Swimsuit issue comes out. Proves you are not half dead. Mazel Tov!

I agree Anonymous#2, who could forget the picture of Cheryl Tiegs in 1978's issue? Now that makes me feel old...that was 33 years ago.
