Unforgivable Singing Acts of Treason

What other topic is less than interesting than the error made by Christina Aguilera last night at the Superbowl?  We've probably all heard (or at least heard OF) someone making an idiot of themselves by misquoting the Star Spangled Banner...but at the Superbowl?  And by someone of Aguilera's status with 5 Grammys?  Obviously a treat to see.  Someone on YouTube said had she "actually sung the song and not sang so many wooo oooo ooo's she might have actually done a good job, at least remembered the words."
Sure, we should be understanding of the situation with being in front of so many people and singing such an infamously difficult song...  But for some reason, this is an error that has always hushed the crowd and made you feel that terrible sinking feeling in your stomach.  Is it because it's our National Anthem and all Americans should know it?  Is it because we all think to ourselves, "Why did she even try if she wasn't going to get it right in front of hundreds of millions of people?"  Or is it because, somehow, deep inside it feels like a disgrace to our country even though it's just singing a song?
In any case, you shouldn't be afraid to feel ashamed to feel however you feel.  It would appear that forgetting the words or messing up on them is just one of those unforgivable taboos.

Word to the Wise about Blogspot Comments! (FAIL)


You know the section of your dashboard that lists all the comments you've received?  Well, I was under the impression that those were more like notifications of the comments.  So I wanted to clear my "notifications" of my comments out so that I would only see notifications of my most recent comments.  Well, after clearing the first page of 25 comments, I got a weird creepy feeling in my stomach...  So before I deleted anymore, I went to my blog to make sure those comments were still there...  And 'lo and behold...  I had actually deleted the COMMENTS!  FAIL!  So if you noticed that my comment totals have dropped on my recent posts, that is why.  I wasn't meaning to delete your comments.  If you're feeling generous, you could always help me out and try to remember what you commented on my posts and repost them.  If not, that's cool too.  But I'm 25 comments short of what I actually had no.

Learn from my error, and do NOT delete them (pic related).  Has this happened to anyone else on here?
