E A G L E S!

For the record I am not a football fan, but am nonetheless thrilled that the Philadelphia Eagles finally made it to the Superbowl. This is I think the 4th year in a row they got to this championship game only to lose. This time they made it. So, yay team.

I didn't watch the game because a) as I said, I don't like football and b) I couldn't stand the suspense. I turned it on a couple of times just to see the score, and was pleased when they were in the lead, but was afraid to continue watching, in case I witnessed them completely bollocksing it up.

I wish I could get sound on this thing because I would love to have you all hear Charlie playing the Eagles fight song on the piano and shouting "EAGLES" at the end of it.

So, everyone have a Cheesesteak or some tastykakes in honor of the Philadelphia Eagles, who,for the first time since 1980 won't have to say 'we'll get them next year."

Congrats to the Eagles, but that's the last you will hear that. ;)

Yes, we'll have to call each other names and things if the Pats win - how are they doing?

Hey - if they do win, and play the Eagles we should have a bet - I'll send you a box of Tastycakes if the Pats win and you can send me something Boston-y if the Eagles win!

What are Tastycakes? Are those those awesome pastries?

Are those those awesome pastries? Well, yeah, for a given value of 'awesome'. I linked the Tastykake website in my post.

Well, it looks like it is the Iggles vs the Pats. So are we on? :)

I was thinking a better thing to send you would be soft pretzels, because they are about as Philly as you get. Say what you will about Philadelphia, we have the best soft pretzels in the world!

Soft pretzels?? NOOOO! I want the Tastycakes!!!! :P lol Of course, we are on! I have to think what to bet on this end...

Tastykakes it is! (I thought you might get Tastykakes where you are, and I was trying for something specifically Philly.)

What is good New England food? I don't like Clam Chowder or Lobster, so that's out! Oh! I know! A Boston Creame Pie!

Hee!

Um, if they had Tastycakes up here, why would I ask what they are? lol

Have you ever seen a Boston creame pie?? Do you honestly think I can ship one!? :P Not like it's going to happen anyway! :P

GO PATS!!

Um, if they had Tastycakes up here, why would I ask what they are? I don't know! It seemed logical at the time.

As disloyal as it sounds, I'm fairly certain the Eagles won't win either. I think Philadelphia is just happy they finally made it this far. The last three years they got as far as the championship, and then lost the final game. So we're proud anyway.

We'll think of something you can send me! Should it come to that. :)

Hey, I can do Boston Cream after all. I can do the Pepperidge Farm version. So, shall we shake? ;)

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

Consider yourself shook! (And I'm pretty sure I can order tastycakes through the website and have them send them directly to you, so we're good there.

[katje0711.livejournal.com]

Oh, good idea!

We're a Steelers family (Dad's from PA), so we're a bit miffed right now. Ah well. Yay for the other PA team!
