We're From the Town With the Great Football Team...

A couple links for all you Stiller fans...

First, friend and former co-worker Gregor reminds us that there's an updated version of "Puhlahmalu" by his band Mr. Devious.  Check it aht.  (Just open up that page and the song will load and play automatically.)  There are two more songs on that page that you can give a listen to as well -- neither is Steelers related, but both are worth a listen.

And another friend and former co-worker, Chris Nicholson, re-worked the classic Steelers' "Renegade" video for your enjoyment.  Click the "watch in high quality" link beneath the video for the best viewing.

And finally, one brief anecdote from the game.  As always, I was in the press box peforming my PR lackey duties.  And as always, with 5 minutes left I got ready to leave the box to head down to the locker rooms.

One thing I may have never shared with you all is a little rule that I like to live my life by, and that rule is this:

You will never regret peeing before you leave.

I have found this to be universally true.  No matter how late I'm running, I find that it's ALWAYS worth the time investment to hit the can before departure.

And this holds true at the Steelers games, as well.  Between the final 5 minutes of the game, and the time when we're allowed into the locker rooms to gather our quotes, it's sometimes an hour before I get back to the press box. 

So during the AFC Championship, I was gathering my tape recorder and notepad and heading for the bathroom and then the elevator just as Polamalu ended the mystery with his INT.  While the rest of the place went wild, I headed for the bathroom.

Ever try to pee during an earthquake?  That's what it was like.  I was holding steady, as they say, but the ground beneath me was swaying back and forth.  And I'd like to take this opportunity to truly and sincerely apologize to the cleaning staff at Heinz Field.

TOTALLY UNRELATED UPDATE
We have an early contender for "Most Confusing Headline of the Year" -- the P-G's "Counselors at school of girl killed by dog."

Best blog post of the year (anywhere) so far ...

Was your experience anything like your bathroom experience in Amsterdam? Because it certainly sounds that way.

J -- this one was a lot less public, and accompanied by a lot less laughter.

Could be the inspiration for a new and challenging Wii game.

I like it -- the PiiWii.

Here's a real easy headline to understand:

Wife who set husband's genitals alight on murder charge

Ouch!

I'd be interested in hearing. The TOS seems rather clear that it is not unless expressly approved by Amazon. I guess if the library got it in writing then they would be ok.
