So I'm going over to my sisters to watch the game, sounds ok right? No, not really. My sister and her husband are basically teetotalers, so I'll be the only one drinking. The only other people there will be a couple with two young kids. So the set up is me drinking by myself, attempting to watch the game, meanwhile while I'm surrounded by toddlers and polite conversation. One of the things that still causes me to wig out and get anxious is polite domestic conversation. Something about boring overly polite conversation about suburban topics causes me to lose my mind a bit. Sweet Jesus, the Broncos better win.
So why the fuck are you going over there? Do people not have any balls to say, "sorry, have other plans to watch the Super Bowl with some friends"? If not, then don't bitch about it.
I actually don't have any other plans, thats why I'm going over there. My options are limited, so its stay here watch the game by myself, or go see my sister and BIL for a few hours. So yea, you're right I was bitching about it. It will be nice to see my sister, we're close and same with the BIL. It'll be good to get out of the apartment for a while, also good. And I've never met the couple who's going to come on over, so I have no idea what they'll be like. If I'm uncomfortable I'll just leave at half. I could certainly tell her I don't feel like going over there and she'd be cool with that. Thats an option I have for sure
My wife just invited my in-laws over, and I'm considering faking a stomach ache so I can hide in the bedroom and binge watch It's Always Sunny. Anything would be better than sitting awkwardly with my in- laws
I am with Nett on this one, fellas. Man up, be yourself and just enjoy the SB. You want a cocktail? Have a cocktail. You want to yell at the game a bit, yell at the game a bit. It's perfectly OK. I firmly believe the old quote by Ethel Barrett: “We would worry far less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.” I am not saying be an asshole to the other people, just relax and have a good time. Here's to us all enjoying the game.
My daughter and I are planning our "pizza party" (just me and her) for the Super Bowl. She must have heard me talking about the game over the phone at some point in the last week because now she's walking around saying "Peyton Manning must not win!" at random intervals (she's five).
I went to a sports bar this year, something I haven't done since the 90's. They're roasting a whole pig on the patio and the beer is cold so that's a good start.
It's 9 in the morning here. I am drinking a cup of coffee watching the pregame show. The bars are open but I am probably going to work after the game because I really have a hard time wrapping my head around going to the bar at 9 in the morning on a Monday.
The game hasn't even started, and the "racist comments about Cam Newton" count is at 2. My daughter is watching Dora in my bedroom, so at least she isn't hearing this shit. I'm getting just stupid drunk tonight.
Not a catch. The ball touched the ground, slow motion makes it look like he had more control than he really had. The halftime show was actually half decent.
Bruno's first section of signing/dancing looked like he was channeling MC Hammer. I half expected him to break into Can't Touch This.
Racist comment count is up to 9, spiked when M-I-L saw Bruno Mars and Beyoncé, she was furious it wasn't just Coldplay. I've gone to the basement so I don't lose my shit.
I bet they were pumped with that ending! My inlaws won't visit my house because we live in the city which is close to "the blacks". They also wouldn't be welcomed even if they weren't scared. I'm glad my wife dislikes them more than I do.
