I thought I would begin a new series on my blog for periodically sharing tidbits of sometimes insightful, sometimes comical and most times utterly useless quotes. I will tag these with “QOTD” in the event anyone wants to quickly generate the complete list sometime in the future. Today’s entry:
2006 is the Year of the Sucka and I have doused myself in Hater Eliminator™
I finally got around to processing and uploading the pictures I took during Super Bowl XL. This also gave me an opportunity to create my first blog “page” — astute readers may recognize the new Pages pane on the right.

Let me know what you think.
McDonald’s reveals high trans fats levels in fries
“McDonald’s French fries contain one-third more trans fats than previously thought after the company used a new method to test for the harmful ingredient still widely used in many foods.”
McDonald’s has been manufacturing food for a long time now and they still don’t know what’s in their fries? To a certain extent this seems worse than Big Tobacco since the cigarette companies at least know the contents of the products they peddle.
I will now coin a phrase: Big Fast Food. Remember you read it here first.
One last post before I call it a night.
I think this article does a good job inferring how much the referees can affect a game’s outcome as they did in Super Bowl XL. Hench’s analysis reminded me just how much the momentum shifted immediately after the most controversial penalties and reversals were called. The Seahawks did not play like a championship team, no question, but neither did the Steelers. If judged by every past Super Bowl performance up to Super Bowl XL, the Steelers should not have won. It makes one wonder.
“In case the football fans of the Pacific Northwest aren’t sick enough in the aftermath of the big game, they may want to know that no Super Bowl loser has ever dominated a title game like the Seahawks did on Sunday.”
It was a great experience despite our team losing the game. You can read more about our trip back (which was anything but ‘great’) on my last Super Bowl XL post at http://lesia.picostation.com/. Someone sent the following picture around at work today.
I think it succinctly captures one of the 3 factors in the Seattle loss — the other two being “soft” playing (e.g., Jerramy Stevens and Josh Brown) and, of course, the Steelers who pulled off some pretty major feats.
