Super Bowl Sunday Plans.
I doubt that I’ll watch the game. I’m not much of a football fan to begin with, and having no geographical or cultural allegiance to either of this year’s contestants, I’ll probably take a pass.
Earlier in the day, however, I will be going with Ken, my bodyguard and Da Chef of da Future to Rutt’s Hutt for deep fried hot dogs, fries, maybe a bowl of chili and a couple three mugs of beer. I spent many of my teen and post-teen years eating Rutt’s Hutt hot dogs, but for my cronies it’s a novel experience.
Maybe after a couple “rippers” (Rutt’s well-done deep fried dogs) and a few brewskies, I’ll feel differently about the watching the obscenely overblown football game.
It all depends on what’s on the History Channel.
Since 11/5/08
The “puppy bowl” is on Animal Planet at 3. An option for the hung-over, non-football friendly, types. BONUS: Bunny cheerleaders this year AND cats at half-time. Whoo-hoo!
I’ll be rooting for the Cardinals.

Good thing you clarified that “rippers” bit; the combo of beer, chili, and dogs had me thinking in a completely different direction…

I like watching the Super Bowl commercials the next day on the web. That’s about the only thing I enjoy about the Super Bowl.
I will, however, be checking out the Puppy Bowl.

I heard on the radio that the pre-game show is 7 1/2 hours. Seriously???! That’s outrageous.
