KNOW MSG !!!!

                                                        Man, how time flies.  Talking to an old friend the other day about our time in L.A.,  when it was common for L.A.P.D. to make use of their " Mobile  Battering  Ram ".  That improvised vehicle was outfitted witha device that could easily break through the sturdiest of steel doors prevalent at the time.    There was even a song made about it.                            Some clever postmodern McGyver then devised a  type of spring loaded reinforcement deal, that somehow morphed into a   GUILLOTINE that was mounted on the threshold of front doors down there.  That was eventually refined, we are told, into a MSG, or " Motion Sensitive Guillotine ".   We used to laugh about how these units were great weight loss tools, or if used properly, instruments for rhinoplasty or a " shave AND a haircut. "                Those were the days.    HRM                                     By th way, what a great, great, Super Bowl game, on so many sport, and cultural levels.  This event was as family friendly as the old  " Up With People " half time performances. Even the Denver Broncos contributed to the theme of the day, by meekly reducing their effort to that of a flag football squad.  They got punked.  We could not count one true touchdown celebration.  The star  Seattle running back, at the end of his touchdown run, politely handed the football to an official, and headed quietly back to the sidelines.  No drama.   No reason for the haters to snivel about any " thuggish " actions.      The Seattle  team played a clean game, and committed NO turnovers.  Bruno Mars delivered as promised, and the Flea infested Hot Chili Peppers looked to be in desperate need of a shower and a hug.  We have heard of  " Ebonics  ", obviously, but the Chili Peppers seemed to introduce us to  " EUbonics ".   To quote Joan Jett, we LOVE rock and roll, but this outfit was at best, lukewarm, and hardly, hardly,  hot.  HRM
