• Technically, there was no Super Bowl I – it was billed as the World Championship Game. Held at Memorial Coliseum in L.A. on January 15, 1967, the NFL’s Green Bay Packers defeated the AFL’s Kansas City Chiefs 35-10. In those days, teams ran the ball more, but Packers quarterback Bart Starr was MVP with 250 yards passing and two TDs. To ensure maximum viewership, the game was broadcast on both CBS and NBC.

• Starr and the Packers returned to defeat the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II. The game was held in Miami’s Orange Bowl, the stadium which would go on to host three of the first five Super Bowls. • SB III was the first one that really excited the fans. It seemed obvious that the NFL had superiority over the AFL, but the younger league spoke up through the voice of Jets QB Joe Namath, who guaranteed victory over the Baltimore Colts. He delivered the win and became a sports legend overnight. • In 1970, the game was played in New Orleans for the first time, at Tulane Stadium. (This was before the Superdome was built.) The Chiefs rebounded from losing the first Super Bowl to defeat the Minnesota Vikings. turn the page for more!

The Packers beat the Patriots as the Super Bowl made its first appearance on the Fox TV network. The Broncos surprised the favored Packers a year later in SB XXXII, winning for the first time. Denver won again the following year over the Atlanta Falcons. • Two relocated teams matched up in 1999, as the St. Louis Rams beat the Tennessee Titans (who came up just a yard short of tying the game on the very last play). Another moved franchise, the Baltimore Ravens, beat the Giants in 2000 to win in its first Super Bowl. • Since then, you probably know the story. The New England Patriots have appeared in four of the last seven Super Bowls, winning three of them. The Steelers, Giants, and Colts returned to win Super Bowls too. Also victorious was one first-time entrant, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who took SB XXXVII in 2002. The Eagles, Bears, Raiders and Rams lost in that stretch, as did the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers. Who will win this year’s game in Tampa? You’ll find out when SB XLIII kicks off on February 1!

ALSO “The Secret Policeman’s Balls” -- For those who grew up in the ‘80s, “The Secret Policeman’s Balls” are legendary. These annual comedy and music shows raised millions for Amnesty International and showcased the cream of British comedy and some awesome musical performances. In this three-disc collection are five of the most famous balls, featuring performances by Monty Python, Billy Connolly, Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean/Blackadder), Hugh Laurie (“House, M.D.”), Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and others. Some of the musical acts featured are a Who’s Who of ‘80s music: Peter Gabriel, Bob Geldof, Mark Knopfler, Sting and Phil Collins, to name just a few. “42nd Street Forever” Vol. 4 -- The “42nd Street Forever” series is one of my guilty pleasures. They’re compilations of movie trailers from schlocky, grindhouse films of the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s. From gore to bad sci-fi to blacksploitation and sex romps, every kind of low-budget, horrible film you can imagine is shown -- well, their trailers at least. And frankly, the trailers are, more often than not, better than the films themselves. FAMILY

“Mary Poppins: 45th Anniversary Special Edition” -- If you already own a version of Mary Poppins, there really isn’t anything “special” about this two-disc Disney release. It’s mostly being used as a promotional tool for the Broadway musical. But if you don’t have a copy of this Julie Andrews classic, then by all means snatch it up -- if only for Dick Van Dyke’s legendary horrible Cockney accent. Besides, Disney has a nasty habit of releasing home videos of its films for a limited time and then pulling them off the shelves for years, so you never know when you’ll see it again.

Although we’ve been enjoying warm weather so far this year, winter is normally cold, blustery, and not the ideal season for garage sales. So what do you do with your old living room set you just replaced? What do you do with your mother-in-law’s belongings left in her home after she moved in with you? Or perhaps you are getting married and consolidating two house-holds - - what are you going to do with all of your extra furniture, accessories, lamps, art work and other pieces? Traditionally we opt to hold a garage or yard sale. However, there is another option that not only is easier than sitting in your garage for two days, but may garner you a better price for your possessions. That option is Consignment. “A Good consignment shop will work with you to help show case your items,” says Caroline Stein, owner of Caroline’s Interior Consignment. “The shop should assist you in pricing your item, if asked, and will advertise for you.” Caroline is not only the owner of a fine consignment shop, but she is also an interior decorator with an American International Rating; well skilled in Feng Shui, staging, and color coordination. Caroline is available to help you stage your home for less than $300. She has made her shop feel comfortable while showing off many different pieces. You can find almost everything you need to decorate your home at Caroline’s

Back By Popular Demand (you asked for them back - we listened)
By Samantha Weaver • Herpetologists can tell you that of all the victims of rattlesnake bites, only about half of them actually hear the telltale rattle before being bitten. • It was famed Elizabethan playwright William Shakespeare who made the following sage observation: “Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?” • The “Guinness Book of World Records” used to have a category for how many live goldfish a person could eat at once, but it was eliminated. Interestingly, the reason for the elimination had nothing to do with cruelty to animals, but rather had to do with the difficulty of preventing cheating. It seems that some would-be competitors were breeding smaller and smaller fish for consumption. • The word “alimony” is derived from the Latin word “alimonia,” which means “nourishment.” • Those who study such things say that the month in which you are most likely to be shot, strangled or poisoned is December. They don’t seem to venture an opinion regarding why, however. • On average, British women are shorter than women in the United States. • Who among us isn’t familiar with the line, “Quoth the Raven, nevermore”? As virtually anyone who made it through middleschool English class can tell you, it’s from Edgar Allan Poe’s classic poem “The Raven.” Considering the ubiquitous nature of the work, though, you might be surprised to learn that Poe earned a grand total of $9 from the first publication of the poem. • The brain of an ostrich is actually smaller than one of its eyes.

The LAPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it. The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming. The LAPD goes in. Two hours later they come out with a badlybeaten bear who’s yelling, “OK, OK! I’m a rabbit! I’m a rabbit!” Psychiatrist to his nurse: “Just say we’re very busy. Don’t keep saying ‘It’s a madhouse.’” A teacher asks her students if they’re Yankees fans. All of the hands go up except for one student. “Okay, Bobby. What team are you a fan of?” “The Red Sox.” “Why’s that?” “Well, my parents are both Red Sox fans, so I’m a Red Sox fan too.” “That’s not a good answer, Bobby. If your parents were both morons, would you be a moron too?” “No, that would make me a Yankees fan!” A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat: “I’m the greatest hitter in the world,” he announced. Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed. “Strike One!” he yelled. Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he swung again and missed. “Strike Two!” he cried. The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He straightened his cap and said once more, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. He missed. “Strike Three!” “Wow!” he exclaimed. “I’m the greatest pitcher in the world.”

A guy calls a law office and says, “I want to talk to my lawyer.” The receptionist replies, “I’m sorry, but he died last week.” The next day he phones again and asks the same question. The receptionist replies, “I told you yesterday, he died last week.” The next day the guy calls again and asks to speak to his lawyer. By this time the receptionist is getting a little annoyed and says, “I keep telling you, your lawyer died last week. Why do you keep calling?” The guy says, “Because It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted I just love hearing it.” in the middle of a busy intersection.
