With all the weird Steelers parody songs you've probably heard the past week or so, it's nice to go back to basics. On the Melodica.
Try and hate on that instrument. That takes some serious skill and lung power.
Jeez, I'm not gonna make it to Sunday. I'm starting to get all anxious and shit.
GO STEELERS!
Back when I planned to liveblog Puppy Bowl V, I had no idea that the Steelers would make it to the Super Bowl. Now, my Super Bowl Sunday is shaping up to be the busiest, most hectic day ever.
But maybe that's what I need.
I've been pretty level-headed throughout the past week and a half, making it through the bye week relatively unscathed and ready for Sunday to be here like never before. But the nerves are creeping in as the Super Bowl gets closer. I might be an absolute trainwreck on Sunday.
So my Puppy Bowl liveblog will be a great way to calm down and watch some badass, cute baby dogs do their thing on a fake football field. Water-bowl cam for life!
Really, I just wanted to remind you that the Puppy Bowl liveblog is still on as scheduled...Sunday, February 1, from 3-5 PM. I've never liveblogged anything before, and Puppy Bowl seems to be a tough act to start out on. I'll be updating my thoughts on the Steelers as well, but here's what the liveblog is probably gonna look like:
3:05 PM: Dude, check out that one puppy!
3:07 PM: That other puppy rules.
3:10 PM: Those one puppies are playing so hard.
3:15 PM: Getting more nervous about the Cardinals.
3:20 PM: Puppies SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
3:24 PM: That gray puppy is my new favorite!
3:30 PM: Whoa, did you see that one puppy jump?
So yeah, it's going to be a challenge, but I'll be ready. I do hope you'll join me, right here at PSAMP, on Sunday. I'll be firing up the liveblog sometime between 2:30 and 3 PM.
Puppies SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
**UPDATE** Puppy Bowl V Liveblog Thread is Posted Here.
Thanks to reader Kate for these pics. She snapped 'em while in Paris. I'm in Amerca, freezing both of my asscheeks off, not looking at real mini animals.
And for Doug, the chick in the puffy white jacket gets a...

It's amazing how much a unique-looking fatass like Ben Roethlisberger looks like so many weird people. Remember Ben in Rock Band 2?
Well, Ben also resembles a dude on one of my favorite shows, Human Wrecking Balls on G4. The HWBs are Paul and Craig Pumphrey, dudes who have made their name by, well, breaking things with their bodies. Craig is a balding oldass, but his younger brother Paul, known for his shoulder ram, is a complete monster.
The premise of the show is to let these guys go up against man-made things like airplanes, cars, offices, bars, movie theaters...and just try and destroy everything with only their fists, feet, shoulders, heads, etc. More or less, the show kicks major ass.
Paul (above, right), also bears a striking similarity to Big Ben Roethlisberger. If Big Ben can axe-kick, punch or shoulder ram through the Cardinals on Sunday, the metamorphosis is complete.
Badass video below will let you non-watchers in on the sweetness of this show. Oh, and new episode tonight at 10:30 PM. I really can't wait.
Nice...fence? And...

Congrats to NC State senior Ben McCauley for scoring his 1,000th career point in tonight's thrilling 84-81 OT win over Miami. Hope that's something to scream about.
Ben was a few years younger than me in high school. Always nice to see a fellow grad from that tiny school make some noise.
He was good at ping-pong.
Oh, yeah, the Steelers are playing the Cardinals.
Here's my best two MSPaints involving Arizona. I rule so hard.
The above one is from this post. The one below is from here.
I know Tampa isn't really cold, but if this dude can somehow tweak his invention to serve beer, he'd be the hit of any Super Bowl XLIII tailgate.
Some inventions are downright crazy. Octa-bongs, motorized beer coolers, wiffle bats as beer cups...they do little more than blow your mind. This guy had some damn initiative, using 4 1/2 hours to make something to keep him and his friends warm during cold Steelers pre-games.
I don't know if I'd go with the name Thirstbuster, though. I usually only drink hot chocolate to warm myself up, not to quench my thirst. Now, if he can rig up a liquor or beer tap (maybe even some Kool-Aid or something else, too), then that beast is a definite Thirstbuster. For now, I'd stick with HotLiquidGunPack or something.
And that's why I'm not an inventor/namer.
Wow...I'm never going to run out of badass pictures of mini ponies. This one might be the cutest ever.
I'll shut down the blog when I exhaust the Internet's supply.

Madden 09 picks the Steelers. I played my sister on Sunday...I was the Steelers, she was the Cards. I won, too. I also beat her 91-85, and had 948 yards passing and 10 TDs with Donovan McNabb and the Eagles. [Sportsocracy]
