Favorite superbowl ads:
Sony - the cute guy getting excited over the TV system
McDonalds - the husband hitting on his wife after he accidentally throws a McDonalds wrapper in dryer. So gross but very funny.
NFL Network - Jerry Jones, Bill Parcells and various NFL players (the losers) singing "The Sun will come up tomorrow" from Annie. Still my favorite spot.
NFL.com - some kind of ad spot about advertising with the NFL and one of the sports announcer saying "Being rich is muy bueno". What was that about?
Nextel - the race car driver scoring a touchdown with his car on the football field.
AOL - the guy going on his motor cycle and saying he came back from the Renaissance. How funny is that and that outfit.
Budweiser - wrong lipstick ad
Bud Light - Cedric bikini wax

So when Justin Timberlake ripped Janet Jackson's shirt off, and we glimpsed her breast I thought it was deliberate and she wearing a pasty over her nipple.
I had no idea that was I was seeing was the real thing. Oooops!
No wonder Phil Simms and and Brian Gumbel were very disturbed and made all those nasty comments about the half time show.
Honestly, I thought they were trying to compete with the lingere bowl on pay per view.
Check out The Drudge Report for what she was really showing. It's very odd looking.

So the folkloric tale out there is that if the AFC wins the Superbowl, then the markets go down and it's a bad year economically. If the NFC wins, then the economy goes like gangbusters.
My favourite stockmarket futurist said the Dow will go up to 12,000 in 2004, so he predicted that the Carolina Panthers would win the Superbowl. I wonder what he'll say now that they've lost.
The guy has got a heck of a stock market stock hit rate, so I'm hoping the market will go up anyway despite the fact that New England won.
I'm thinking index funds will be worth buying now since the Dow is at 10,000. Once the Dow goes up to 12,000 better to sell and get out, then to take a loss. No way will the Dow be able to sustain 12,000 for very long.

My last Dine About Town 2004 experience was at Roy's Restuarant, located on Mission between 1st and 2nd streets. I ate there last night with a friend of mine.
My friend had been there before, and wanted me to try it since it was Hawaiian style fusion food. I had never heard of the place, so I was intrigued.
The restaurant was crowded, and while there were hawaiian sounding dishes on the menu, it wasn't exactly what I would call Hawaiian food. It's more east and west fusion food, with a Hawaiian accent. They did have butterfish on the menu however, which was cool because butterfish is like a staple in Hawaiian eating.
Anyway, the food was excellent and probably a notch below Chez Panise. Considering the prices and the quality of the food, it's a heck of a bargain. Chez Panise has unbelievable food, but it is so not cheap.
Here's the what I had from from the Dine About Town menu:
Appetizer:
Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion Sampler - Shrimp Stick, Szechuan Baby Back Rib & Kalua Pork Lumpia
Dinner:
Charred Garlic Honey Mustard Beef Short Ribs with Hanalei Poi and Lomi Lomi Tomato (I had to see what the poi tasted like. The colour was off, but it was real poi.)
Dessert:
Caramel Macadamia Nut Almond Tart With Our homemade vanilla bean ice cream (what's a hawaiian meal without some macadamia nut?)
My friend says the Szechuan Baby Back Ribs are her favourite. She had the Roy’s Classic Roasted Macadamia Whitefish with a Lobster Butter Sauce for her dinner choice.
They play cheesey loungey Hawaiian music, so it's like you're eating in a hotel in Hawaii. You can't escape cheesey Hawaiian lounge music when you're in Hawaii; it's everywhere.
Still, the food is so good that it warrants a return visit. Supposedly they have their own hawaiian cocktails on the menu, but we didn't try any of those and I'd go back just to see if they can get a cheesey Waikiki mai tai right.
