I live in Salt Lake and we get plenty of snow, but I've never had this happen before. I get out my ladder and go up on my roof to head for the satellite dish. I walk two steps, fall on my butt, and start to slide on down. I catch myself but I begin to realize that I've just put my life in danger for a football game. (My house is a split-level, so my roof is actually 1 1/2 houses off the ground, if that makes sense; it's high.) I crawl on my stomach through the snow and ice so I can have as much of my body flat on the roof as possible. I reach the dish, brush off all the snow and ice, and slowly make my way back to the ladder. I'm about half-way back when I just start to slide back off the roof. I have to brace myself with my feet on the rain gutter. I slowly shimmy my way back up, then slide over to the ladder. Mission: Accomplished. TV, working. I'm a complete idiot.

We don't get the same commercials here, not that I'm watching the game.

Originally Posted By seanyoda The "Rocky" ad? Definitely cute. OK, so GMC wants to go for art?!? Nice looking ad, but I don't see it selling any trucks. The Bud Light follow-up to last years' English as a Second Language ad seemed abbreviated.
