Both teams very much deserved the honor in my opinion. The Pats are only on their third trip to the Big Game and have come quite a long way to their lofty postion today. As a former Boston-area resident, it's also great to see a Boston team in a favored postion for the first time since probably the '89 Celtics. And I'm glad that the Carolina Panthers got to go to the Super Bowl for their first time. The announcers were right in that they sure were no pushovers. For an underdog, they sure played hard. Both teams managed to provide some excellent, nailbiting action. Definitely an improvement over last year's onesided blowout. [:(!] And this relates to trains HOW?

The sadder thing is that it's now the media's--and the public's--flavor of the week, something which makes Paris Hilton seem like Florence Nightingale by comparison.

In 2001 they were saying, "Where were you during the terrorist attacks?" And now in 2004 they'll be asking, "Where were you when Janet Jackson flashed the Super Bowl?" Pretty tacky, huh? I often wish I was born 50 years earlier so I could have seen some positive, and moreover REAL news. But anyway, I'd say she had a GGG Scale layout down there.

Eolafan Can i give you a Quick example of what I mean.. Oh and sorry about this morning, the school has 28.8K or maybe 14.4 connection.. The wheel arangement on an E8 is A1A-A1A -kev Now what did that tell you about me? what can you get out of that other then the wheel arangement on an E8 Locomotive? How do you make Friends By simply stating that fact above. Option 2: The wheel Arangement on an E8 is A1A-A1A, but I hate those peices of junk, have fun in hell..!! -kev Now what did you get out of that, Same as Number 1... my name is Kevin and the wheel arangement of an E8, but somehting that differs in number 2, I told you that I hate E8, so in one persons mind they may say "oh cool! he hastes E8s too, I outta E-mail him about that" that made me.. ONE friend! Option 3: The wheel Arangement on an E8 is A1A-A1A, they were built in the 1950's 1960's CP rail owned 3 of them, each made it to the Action Red paint scheme in 1968... -kev Now what did you get out of that, Same as Number 1... my name is Kevin and the wheel arangement of an E8, but somehting that differs in number 3, I know some of the E8's background, so that means some people can E-mail me now and ask me alot more. Chances are I made about 3-5 friends on that one Now if I were to post... Justin taberlake is an idiot, he ripped off this poor girls shirt, no doubt she loved it, uhh she had a nipple ring and.. etc... People who think Justin timberlake is a loser are likely to side with you, People who thjink he did this intentionally are likely to side with you, people who liked Janet Jacksons Boobs are likely to side with you.. uhhh... people who have nipple rings, lets not go there But the fact is above, I said soemthing about myself, I said that I thought It was a cheap move That Justin did, i liked her nipple ring (no I didn't) And thats how you make friends, Is by commenting on other peoples private parts! noo..... Thats how you make firends is by putting your own opinion up there about an issue outside of trains so that people like myself get a chance to know you. Thats taken from Social Psychology, and i still can't spell it!
