Like I said on the video, even Chrysler is jumping on the Abe Lincoln band wagon. I saw another version of old Abe waking in. And if that isn't enough, I copied a lot of Abraham Lincoln specials on cable waiting for me to watch. Abe seems to be everywhere.

Happy Super Bowl Day. Hope you commercials are as spectacular as all the other commercials you are forced to watch during this coming year. And, oh, by the way, I believe there is also a football game tonight too.

Sorry I don’t have any carvings that would represent 49ers or Ravens, but this is the closes I have for the Ravens.
