As a reminder to Us all, there are still tickets for the Steelers’ game tomorrow night. There seem to be more haters and doubters than usual this time around. I’m not sure why. Well, actually, fans should have legitimate concerns about the game against Jacksonville. But it’s a playoff game, in Pittsburgh and fans despite the Oronato Tax, should be drunker than usual. As we know, it’s beer that fuels the fans and pushes the boundaries of fan enthusiasm, not just here in Pittsburgh, but everywhere. But, yes, more so here in Pittsburgh.

Those of Us not attending the game, I remind everyone of the open bar for the first half of the game.

The rest of the haters and doubters should give Pittsburgh a break and because of Our good deeds in the past. Do I need to remind everyone that it was Us who lobbied the NFL to have Anne Murray not perform at the Super Bowl the year after the Janet Jackson incident?

Anyway, moving on - Some of you newer members may not be aware that in 2004 we were in early contention of bidding on Pittsburgh’s casino license. We were denied the ability to even bid, despite designing what would be several architectural masterpieces. Since then We have been attempting to work with Don Barden’s group and have presented several inexpensive solutions to his traffic problem that has been holding up the project. Unfortunately Barden’s group either took these as an attempt to subvert him, or as a threat and has since forbidden any of Us from entering the new casino as either a worker or customer.This may be a good thing as it allows us to work on our robotics programme with members who are students at CMU.

Another bit of unfortunate news: Even though Senator Jane Orie has supported Our movement to have the band Journey removed from bar and restaurant jukeboxes, she has turned her back on Us and proposed a new tax which would affect Our more… unique enterprises. Really, Jane? Following Utah’s lead? Do you not watch Big Love?

Final note: Futurama has moved its syndication to Comedy Central, weeknights at 9 p.m. It no longer appears to be on Adult Swim. The watching of movies on Comedy Central as well as Mind of Mencia is still strongly advised against. Anyone quoting Carlos Mencia will be brought in front of the Judicial Review Board.
