Add salt to taste

alternateorg on February 3, 2002

Recipe for a successful Super Bowl party if you yourself are not exactly a football fan:

1. Invite over friends who are equally apathetic about most sports in general, football in particular.

2. Make bean dip.

3. Make sure aformentioned guests are in possession of a deep-fryer and much fried foods.

4. Fry many foods.

5. Make awesome chicken wings, also fried but not battered.

6. Watch 5 culmunative minutes of the first half between the four (well, seven) of you and remark when someone scores.

7. Take cute baby pictures instead of watching the insipid half-time show.

8. Tune in and actually pay attention right as the losing team makes a last 2-minute drive to the end-zone to tie it. THEN watch in amazement as the now-tied game turns back to the original winning team in the last 1 second of the game.

9. Let cool for 3-4 hours, serves 4-7.

    Actually the half time show wasn’t insipid (unless, I suppose someone out may not like U2). It was the best halftime show I’d ever seen: it was just U2 playing two of their best tunes using the same set up as they did on their recent tour. No crap, just two good tunes. Miracle. Then the Pats won. Two good things in one night. Good night. But then again I follow, and enjoy football, and live in New England (however normally a Chicago Bears fan).

    YAY! Everything sucks! Why is it in to bask everything you don’t appreciate? Because if everything else sucks, then you’re cool by default.
