I got the last thing on wanted on my birthday wish list. A super bowl trophy for the men in black and gold.
We need more info, what sort of wood did they turn this super bowl from and what finish?
The black and gold men? Are they over in Richmond somewhere?
oh, gridiron,..... Wish I new more about it, to give you a decent conversation.... but good to hear your happy.
But why are your footballers padded up so heavily ? I mean, footballers over here must hit each other just as hard as they do in the US, but the most they bother about is small head and mouth guards... :p (just stirring)
It's not nice to pick on 9Fingers and his typing error, Benny.Quote:

'The Men in Black & Gold' is clearly the name of his ten pin bowling team.
Not sure about the reference to the Steelers, though......maybe still talking about the merged Illawarra Rugby League team??? What's that got to do with bowling??
Good on you, 9Fingers! I am happy for you and your ten pin bowling successes.:p:p
Ok that makes sense now. Also it would be good to see how you turn your balls? Nice sized lathe then use forstners to cut the finger holes?
Thats probably the Steelers reference, if you have a nice turned ball everyone tries to steal it?
Yeah, but how many footy players here are nick-named "The Refrigerator"?Quote:

Well done, i bet ur on the way to being very pizzed at the moment .. good on yu:D :D :D and take no notice of the bald bloke i dont... I watched it and realy enjoyed it, except the 3 clowns that our own tv network SBS had that kept interupting the yankie comentry with their own dribble all the way through the game:mad: 9fingers, their was one thing that puzzled me. the Seattle coach kept putting a sheet up over his mouth every time he issued instructions into his mik. was that for a) to muffle the noise of the crowd so the instructions were clear. or b) which might sound silly but to stop someone in the crowd with binoculars lip reading his instructions and relaying them to the Steelers:confused: and the Stones were great. It was nice to have the morning/arvo of work and sink a few beers and watch it. very enjoyable:DQuote:

Now, where'd that Felder get to with his rugby? :D
They did show the commercials here (edited for time) and they were good. Bummer you missed it all:(Quote:

Errrh.
No!!
Al :eek:
Just wondering, do they have a separate team to accept this bowl thingy? Seems they have a warm up team, an offensive team, a defensive team, a team of managers, waterboys etc? Oh and the safety equipment team must be huge?
And Yanks can't understand cricket? :rolleyes: What a load of boring rubbish. A game that takes one hour or so lasts for four or five! As for Mick, he really should retire, his lip synching has slipped badly!:confused: :confused:
It was a good win. We're happy here too. My son had put $20 on the Steelers to win the Super Bowl, months before the season started. He got 16:1 odds. (This is the Los Angeles area and with most people from someplace else, we bring our sports team allegiance with us.)
And the Seattle Seahawks did receive some of the benefit of poor calls from the zebras too. I think that the zebras may have affected the betting point spread but not the outcome of the game.
This the collective Gods of the planet conspired to insure a Pittsburgh Steeler win for THE BUS. Jerome Bettis is a really decent bloke and well liked in the Pittsburgh area. The last thing that he wanted to do before he retired was win the Super Bowl and the Gods helped.
