Pick your own topic! (AKA Steph's got a lot of balls up in the air.)

1. SARAH's going to do a SuperBowl party. Any takers?

2. Does anyone here speak Spanish fluidly-to-fluently? Can I ask you Stuff? (Primarily related to dialect differentiation between Iberian and Central American Spanish.)

3. My new online toy: Where I've Been.

The first thing I saw in that was "Steph's got a lot of balls".

:D

[muji]

Well, I do. *juggles*

[canadabear.livejournal.com]

Clark will do SuperBowl for sure.

AND JIMMY. Oh lord, how could I forget about Jimmy and football?

[muji]

Yay Clark and Jimmy!

[calluna]

I am tempted to say that if Jimmy goes, Byers may go.

:D?

I don't, but James Bond (mine, not the character) does.

[muji]

I am trying to determine if Alec the Iberian Boyfriend would be a help or a hindrance as a dialect model.

[callitavesper.livejournal.com]

My Spanish isn't that good, actually.

[silveraspen]

You find the neatest online toys. :) Also I love the SB party idea; now I just have to figure out time/character to toss in.

Boy do I wish I spoke Spanish better than I do; my level of skill is dismal. It's on the list of things to change. I have enough comprehension to get by in the US or in certain other countries, but I wouldn't call myself fluid or fluent.

[muji]

GABE.

I have a post to write sometime later re: List of Things to Change. Between Slumber Parties (oh my goodness Aspen -- my first party is going to have 35 people there) and just trying to be more inspired about life in general, I feel like I have stuff to do. It's very fun.

Also *cuts and pastes* re: Spanish? I am trying to determine if Alec the Iberian Boyfriend would be a help or a hindrance as a dialect model.

[sdelmonte]

Sam would be my first choice, since I think that even with their somewhat disconnected lives, the Winchesters probably watched football now and again while on the road. I bet that John even played in high school.

Also, there is the fact that the Giants' quarterback, Eli Manning, is the younger brother of last year's winning quarterback, Peyton Manning. I get the feeling that Sam relates to Eli, who is less cocky and outgoing than his brother. Oh, and the Mannings' father, Archie, was a pro quarterback as well.

You and your mighty ball juggling skillz!

All I can say about the Spanish is that if you find such a person, I WANT THEM, TOO. My Rio de la Plata dialect is almost like a different language from Latin American spanish, and I keep flailing at writing for that Project because WHAT, WHAT? They don't use 'tu' in Argentina, and they don't use 'vos' in Mexico and SO CONFUSED!

[muji]

*cuts and pastes* I am trying to determine if Alec the Iberian Boyfriend would be a help or a hindrance as a dialect model. Because I borrowed a Spanish 1 textbook from my mother's high school, and it's Mexican Spanish, and Alec was confused/indignant at it.

As noted, I am quite interested in the Super Bowl party, noting that I will be late and will have to play using the radio broadcast instead of the TV since there is no TV in the computer room. (Wondering what we should do with the ads, since the game is as much about them as the what's going on on the field. I obviously won't be seeing the ads.)

Knox, also as noted, is a Giants fan (albeit of the Gotham Giants circa 1991), so he is the clear cut choice to join the party. Especially since his mun is a dedicated follower of the Giants, and is very excited by the fact that his team is back in the big game. GO BIG BLUE! :)

[muji]

Oh, I'm counting on you to be there with bells on.

[coffeeshopnight.livejournal.com]

.... If there's free food/alcohol, it's likely that Gordon will show up.

[muji]

I think can work something out with that, yeah.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

All my pups are British. :(

[gotham-knocking.livejournal.com]

They have TV coverage of the Super Bowl in the UK, BTW. I watched the game last year at midnight in the lounge of the hotel we were at, with four other Americans and a couple of Brits who follow the sport.

But I somehow can't say any of your pups getting into American football. I can't see James Bond - especially the newer version - even getting into soccer.

[camwyn]

Meeerh. Ray's not a big football fan, and if he were, he'd be rooting for the Miskatonic college team anyway rather than anybody in the NFL. Other than him and Whistler I don't currently have any Americans, and Whistler doesn't strike me as the football type unless it comes to hacking the display on the Goodyear Blimp.

Wells considers the whole thing a ridiculous fuss over fucking mutant rugby anyway.

[muji]

The Brits should hijack/crash the party.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Since the Giants are in the Super Bowl this year, good chance there's gonna be a SB party at the apartment. (My roomie's a HUGE fan of them, and been looking forward to this)

But might toss a pup toward it. Kate might watch a little, not sure if she's a football fan really. Nathan miiiight be in his emo phase in canon then at this rate, otherwise he might watch.

Truman only knows a little of football, but couldn't play it. Probably missed out on Super Bowl stuff though, and he's curious enough that he might check it out.

Oooh, hold on, Johnny would likely watch, though he's more of a hockey fan than any other sport. But definitely appreciative of a good sports game. I'll probably toss him in, and he'd think SARAH's fascinating concept from a scientific perspective.

[muji]

Looking forward to whoever you've got coming!

Random squee.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Jen might come to the SuperBowl party, but she doesn't really know any of the people involved. Still, she loves parties, so....

Random topics, you say?

She-Hulk is part of the brand spanking new Defenders. (http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=144139) WRITTEN BY JOE CASEY, one of the very best writers working in the medium. She-Hulk, Blazing Skull, Colossus, and Nighthawk? My pup is usually crack drenched anyway, but this? Threatens to overload the crack pipe.

Bonus Random: Tell me in twenty words or less what is wrong with this illustration. (http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/April08/folder2/shehulk28.jpg)

Re: Random squee.

[muji]

I am not sure where to start.

Subject 1.)

[ostro_goth]

If somebody dragged Teja along to the Superbowl party, and he has to ask stuff and is clueless or doesn't understand ('Gladiators? What?'), that would be fun of the Weird Of The Week variety.

Tower might be along, smoke a big cigar, and be generally amused.

'Suti would run as fast as he could from the mere suggestion.

So I guess, yes, make that one or two charries of mine for that party.-

[badninja.livejournal.com]

Probably interested in the Superbowl Party! But um, you'd get a foreign dude trying to comment on a sport that's played on skates in his country (BETTER THAT WAY), and possibly routing for a team at random just to get people going. :D Er?

[ana-pascal.livejournal.com]

Any takers?

Another excuse to giggle and make fun of overly testosterone-filled men in tight pants running each other over for the sake of a ball in an event that's no longer a game but a corporate clusterfuck?

Yes.

[sdelmonte]

My Giants will make it a game! Yes they will!

(I live in eternal optimism.)

Can Ana brings yummy baked goods?

[bushel-o-apples.livejournal.com]

Barbossa, Boromir, Iorek Byrnisson... I don't see either of the three taking any interest in American Football.

And on the subject of Spanish, well, I -am- a Spaniard, so feel free to ask away, and I'll try to help as much as I can.

[paladinsuitsyou]

Booth! Booth is all about the Superbowl!
