re: Super Bowl XLVIII/ Super Bowl 2014: Ah, New Jersey, Not A Real State :)

Yes, the Super Bowl will be played in NEW JERSEY.

Yes, but as a New Jersey native who lived there from the ages of zygote to 24, I must confess that New Jersey is not a real state. 🙂

It’s two metropolitan areas (NY and Philadelphia) with Trenton in the center. 🙂

So what is the NFL going to do? Set up its marketing/media apparatus less than 15 miles from the nation’s top media market?!? LOL! 🙂

*SIGH* 😦

New Jersey ALWAYS gets the shaft! (Jets, Giants, etc.)

I mean, if I were to argue that the Statue of Liberty is really IN NEW JERSEY (yes, I’m bringing up that old argument again, see “Jurisdictional Disputes” sub-head in the link  😉 , I would be committed, right? LOL! 🙂

I don’t know about Warner Bros. film executives’ sleeping habits 🙂 , but with all of the motion around the “Man of Steel” sequel, it’s clear the above image keeps them up at night. 🙂

FEBRUARY 2nd UPDATE: And yes, this makes sense when you think about it long enough. Who would Lex Luthor be in 2014? Right! 🙂 So who better to play him (again) 🙂 ?

Morrie Turner Is Now An Ancestor

I don’t think it’s emphasized enough that the brother had an ABC cartoon based on his strip, a rare honor–especially back then.

“Wee Pals” never ran in any paper I remember. But as a little tyke, I do remember this show because it would come on Saturday mornings in the early 1970s. I watched it while waiting for “Superfriends” (then a NEW program) to come on! 🙂

Lupita Nyong’o Wins Critics’ Choice Film Award For “Best Supporting Actress” Last Night

Posted on by toddpanther

I’m glad she won this award, especially after what she had to do for it (think: the worst of “Glory” merged with the famous scene from “Monster’s Ball” that all Black people know). While watching “12 Years a Slave,” all I thought of when I saw her was this moment. 🙂 It was a very sincere and heartwarming speech.
