ugh, definitely not my best, but relevant to how I spent my day...

The Big Game

They’re lined up, ready to go
Eighteen players in a row
Their ponytails are flying
Women’s football is now shining

I though Ice hockey was more your sport?

The big game
To advertise during the Superbowl
Costs 7.7 million US Dollars.
If i'm spending that kind of money,
I'd better get a hell-load of hollers.

Dragonfly - no worries! We are here, after all, for practice :)

Greg - it is! I had no major interest in the game (other than hoping the Eagles would win their first championship, rather than the Patriots winning their... whatever number it would have been). But I am allowed, on occasion, to use prompts inspired by things I don't really care about :)

Super Bowl ads are insanely expensive. I wonder how effective they actually are? I mean, assuming a company manages to make one that works (memorable, especially funny, what have you).
