Fun with Twitter: #JaneAustenAtTheSuperBowl.
Roseanne Cash started a Twitter meme that is turning up some gems, such as:

"Some ladies are determined to sport bonnets made of cheese. I must take to my bed."

And,

"A player was touched in a MOST clandestine area. It has given me quite a turn, but I shall soon be myself again."


Lots more at the link. You don't need a Twitter account to read them.

2. More:
"Accompany Mr. Roethlisberger unchaperoned? Mother would never allow it, what with his reputation."

And,

"Her letters were always long expected, and always very short. 'J-E-T-S' she scribbled. "Jets, jets, jets."

and K&R Mr. Bleever's missive forthwith."

6. She is so good at that.
I've talked to her several times on Twitter, but I cannot get the Jane Austen voice down.

7. Most folks are "re-purposing" famous lines
from her books and letters.

8. Regarding the Legume Chorale...
"Regarding the Legume Chorale, it grieves me to note that the spectacle exceeds the musicality"

9. Most excellent.
I don't think I've ever enjoyed a Super Bowl this much while sober.
