"But what about the Super Bowl?!", you say, quite harshly. A little too harshly, frankly. If I'm going to write a blog, I really don't need that level of sass and I'm not going to take it. Well, to answer the question, the Super Bowl annoys me. It barely has any more to do with football than the Pro Bowl does. Between the people watching just for the commercials, the halftime show where 'NSync does half a song with Aerosmith, the indifferent crowd and the fact that the public at large watches just because everyone else is, I couldn't care less. If my team were in the game, I'd watch and I'd watch harder than anyone else but until that happens, it's banned.
The question now is how to fill my time. I'd like to do something that stands out so that it can be remembered fondly in the future. Past Super Bowls I've:
- Watched "Follow That Bird"
- Watched "Puppy Bowl I" (play-by-play by Harry Kalas) (the winner was all of us)
- Watched "Muppet Treasure Island"
And even though I had a blog during last years game, I don't remember what I did. If I had to guess, I think I was watching a movie of some sort.
So what to do this year? Not sure. It's something to think about this week. The only rules are that it has to be something slightly off the beaten path (or simply ridiculous) and has to be as "opposite" of the Super Bowl as possible. A couple of the frontrunners so far:
Storage Wars Marathon
Watch "Wayne and Garth's Music A-Go-Go" (if I can get it in time)
Read
Watch "Trading Spaces" (I'd have to find that as well)
8-bit Nintendo Night
That's really all I have so far but I have a week to think about it. I'm sure I'll figure something out. Suggestions welcome.
The good news is this: two weeks until aces and catchers.
