NFL PLAYOFF GAMES _ WHAT A WEEKEND

49’ers vs. Saints, Bronco’s vs. Patriots, Green vs.Bay Giants, Ravens vs. Houston,  all in one weekend - can’t leave the TV.

Thank G-D for my SKWOOSH Office Gel Cushion and the All Purpose Gel Seat with EZ Swivel.  Have to admit it’s been exciting so far and I’ve been able to keep my New Year’s resolution to drink less beer and more coffee.  At my house we call it the Irish Coffee Bowl.

This bowl game is:

• Part pick me up
• Part snack
• Part 50 yard line warmer upper.

The basic 4 down strategy is part coffee, part whisky, cream and sugar.  As a game winner this strategy is more than the sum of its parts.  Drop your tush on a warm and cozy SKWOOSH Gel Bleacher Seat, in your team’s colors and put together:

• 2 teaspoons of unrefined sugar
• 1 oz apple brandy
• 7 ozs of fresh brewed coffee
• 3 ozs of heavy whipping cream
• 1 sugar cube
• Cinnamon    
• And an orange peel.

Set up a preheated Irish coffee mug; add the apple brandy and sugar.  Now go for the goal with this special end around play.  It’s all in the cream. You need to make your own whipped cream in a shaker (like cocktail shaker).  Pour the heavy whipping cream into the shaker with ice and the sugar cube and shake till you get within field goal range. Once in range use a spoon to carefully layer the cream on top of the drink.  Split the uprights with grated cinnamon and orange peel.  Three points - game over and enjoy the final playoff game next week and on to the Super Bowl.

OLYMPICS AGAIN IN VANCOUVER-2010

The fairness and sportsmanship of Skwoosh wins a gold.

Did the Austrian Super G course setter “Vonn-proof” the downhill course in Vancouver?
Rumor out there is that Super G course setter, Austrian coach Juergen Kriechbaum, “Vonn-proofed” the downhill course. Shades of Augusta where the givers of the green jackets lengthened the course in an effort to keep the Tiger (Woods) from repeating or bettering his 18 under 1997 performance. No one will ever know but the course was set in such a way as to limit a powerful, super fast, downhill skier like Lindsey Vonn. At Skwoosh we are all about fairness so we will rename our Swivel Therapy gel cushion the Lindsey Vonn Super G and we’ll be happy to endorse Lindsey whenever gel cushion comfort is needed – especially after winning a bronze.
We also stand ready to endorse Apolo Anton Ohno. Apolo’s great balance and the comfort gel power of Skwoosh might have pushed him from bronze to gold in the men’s 1,000 – meter short event if the pushy Koreans were out fishing instead of skating.
How about Team USA, men’s hockey vs. Team Canada – what a game. Goalie Ryan Miller had a “Time” of his life moment. He won even after removing the “Miller Time” slogan from his mask. What a game, one of the best ever enjoyed by Skwoosh Olympic junkies sitting comfortably in the stands on their gel bleacher seats. The house was packed and we wished that every seat was covered with a gel stadium seat or a gel bleacher seat as the fans watched one of the toughest, fastest, most competitive games of the 2010 winter Olympics. Team USA took the lead and kept it for all three periods. Their power play defense was superb and their Miller time goalie was the best.
Go Skwoosh – Go USA

Yankess vs Red Sox - Everybody Wins!

Like many other stadiums slated for demolition so that a new facility can be accommodated, New York’s Yankee Stadium is auctioning and selling all kinds of memorabilia to fans from across the country. Items include signs, brick, beer carts - even trash cans. Some of the more plentiful, and lucrative, items, however, are the stadium seats.

Yankee Stadium is selling their stadium seats for a minimum of $1,499 each. That is a rather eye popping sum when you consider the fact that they are not even branded with the team’s logo! Skwoosh, an unabashed Red Sox fan, would still like to see Yankees fans get more for their money, especially in this economy. Why not package a Yankee stadium seat with a Skwoosh stadium cushion with the team’s logo imprinted on it? That way fans can have a piece of the ballpark they loved as well as a way to show that it actually came from the aforementioned stadium. Who says that Yankee and Red Sox fans can’t work together?!

American Idol Gives the Symphony an Idea

Skwoosh, long a supporter of the fine arts, was mildly shocked to learn that certain symphonies and museums are integrating cell phones into their repertoire. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, for example, asks the audience to text message their vote, American Idol-style, for the encore. An attempt to reach a more youthful audience, it also supports efforts aimed at increasing audience participation.

We’ll leave the question of whether Hayden, Mozart et al truly intended for the audience to have any type of say in the matter to another post. However if arts institutions would like to broaden their appeal, may we suggest starting with something a little more basic – the seating. It is almost as if concert halls take the whole “suffering for your art” adage literally. Why not use our stadium seat to make the entire experience a more comfortable one? Designed for sitting on bleacher seats, our stadium cushion can nonetheless be taken upscale and would appreciate a day at the opera or symphony. Our gel cushions can even be imprinted with the organization’s logo, a great way to appeal to today’s label-obsessed youth.
