Superbowl Fare

After a hard day of pushin' broom at the fact'ry (or packing heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, take your pick, but that sounds so much less literary......), I came home to find the better half watching The Game. 

After communing with my homies on Blogville for a few minutes, (one of whom didn't score me any discounted Calmer, but I forgive her, because all the stupid stores think Calmer is, like, seasonal yarn or something...errrr) I went down to the kitchen to find him taking a break during Half Time, and I announced, "This is Superbowl Sunday!  I want some Superbowl food, like chicken wings and 7-layer dip!" 

I don't think I've ever seen my husband in such a state of shocked laughter, almost on his knees.  "You've NEVER HAD CHICKEN WINGS IN YOUR LIFE!!!!"  Which isn't true.  I have too.  Just not on Superbowl Sunday.  Ever.  He's right.  There was only one year when I showed even one iota of recognition that there was such a thing as The Superbowl, and that lasted for all of 2 minutes 30 seconds, when Aerosmith played during halftime.  Any other time I wouldn't have cared one whit about that, either, except that Zack Whitford, the son of one of the players in Aerosmith, was at that time a schoolmate of Abigail's at Walnut Hill.  They were in a play together.  They kissed in the play.  (he was mega-talented and mega-connected.....wonder what ever happened to him?....) 

So it was all, "oo, ooh, oooooh, let's look at Brad Whitford" for the four and a half seconds he was visible during half-time. 

Yeah, so that's my big Superbowl story.   I couldn't give two shits about the Janet Jackson breast episode.

you know, last year, we got the bunny ears out and "assumed cbs viewing positions" Which involves sitting in a very odd position while holding said bunny ears for optimum picture. We don't have cable, nor do we miss it.

Anyway I watched the whole Janet/Justin thing and was unaware there was even a problem until the next day when the story was ALL OVER THE PLACE. I was not even aware I had witnessed an exposed breast. Yeah, that was newsworthy.

I personally think beast cooked on an open fire would have been a little more in keeping with the super bowl mood. But that's just me.

I saw the breast expose and was quite aware of what I had seen. Unfortunately, I was home alone at the time and had no one to confer with on said breast. So for a little while I thought maybe I was seeing things. (I had the number of the shrink at the ready - but really how do explain you think you see nipples flying at you at sporting events? And yes, I was breastfed.)

Really, though, besides this year when Philly was involved, the only reason to watch the SuperBeast is because of the action on the side. Cha-ching!

Oh and no chicken wings here - chicken on a bone - YEECH!

Super Bowl?

His name is Bradley Whitford? Kids of famous people who sound like other famous people. I see an E! show in the making.

i'm planning my own nipple revealing superbowl for next year. buy your tickets now!

Funny, that's also the only time I've ever watched the thing. I'm an Aerosmith fan, whatcanIsay...

Hate football, though. Just don't have the patience for anything where the last three minutes of a game can take half an hour. Watching paint dry is more exciting.

LOL! I'm sorry...which Super Bowl were you watching? hahahaha...I believe the Janet thing was LAST year!?I won't comment on the half time.
So, what is wrong with chicken wings or 'chicken on a bone'...? Which I, in fact, never have them for a overpublicized usually boring game...The playoffs are much more entertaining.
...and the ads weren't that great either.....

I watch Paul last night and that's it. Did wish it was Aerosmith instead! I heart Stevie Tyler.

The only reason I had a clue about even when "The Game" was this year is because I happen to live in Pittsburgh. Even though I ignore anything that has to do with the "Stillers" (yes, that's how "true natives" pronounce it), you'd have to be in a coma not to know they came thisclose to making it this year. I didn't find out who won until this afternoon, so hopefully that restores my total geek status.
