I have seen some pretty bad behaviour from some of those power wheel
chairs and scooters. Some of them just zip along at high speed. I once
threatened a buy in a powered wheel chair. I had seen him take runs at
people, forcing them to jump out of his way. It was accident. After the
third incident within a couple minutes I went over and told him that I
saw him do it again I would push him and his wheelchair down a set of
stairs. I am sure it sucks to have to live in a wheel chair, but you
can't take it out on everyone else in the world.

You did what?! How about call for an employee? Go to the customer
service desk, this guy is nuts!

You threatened to push him down the stairs... sounds like a post from
the past when someone squished all the bread because they didn't have
what he wanted. Yikes!

Your post assumed that we'd be watching the Super Bowl and making special
food. I don't make food based on a game or what's on TV.

Apparently I am responsible for all that is wrong here.

And what am I cooking today? Lemon Jell-O and chicken broth. I have also
chilled the white grape juice, apple juice, pear juice and Sprite. Guess
what's going on in our house? *Hint* It is not a sport.

Just curious. What kind of food do they serve at an opera? They tend to
have fancy cookies and pastries at the ballet.

She's entertaining, for sure. I enjoy football, but I don't expect
everyone to. Millions of people don't, fine with me.

I thought the commercials disappointed last year, maybe that's
because they have started airing them before the game these days.

I can imagine it would. We don't get that much promotion of the Super
Bowl up here. There are some bars that promote it because they want
people to come in and eat and drink in their establishment. People go
out to bars to watch the game or get together at house parties.

Yep. After I saw him line up and accelerate directing at a group of
women walking along I did say that to him. FWIW... it was a few years
ago. He still hangs around that mall and I occasionally see him there.
What I do not see is him making kamikaze attacks on shoppers. It wasn't
like I hit him or actually pushed him down the stairs. What was he going
to do?... go to mall security and tell them that I threatened him
because he was assaulting shoppers.

I beg to differ. American football is a rather cerebral sport, and I used
to enjoy it, but I pretty much gave it up for cerebral reasons, those being
the cerebral injuries suffered by the players. I gave up watching boxing
decades ago for that reason.

If it weren't for the traumatic brain injuries, I'd probably still be a
football enthusiast. The only sport left that I really enjoy watching is
gymnastics, though I do sometimes watch skateboarding with my son, who is
super into it. He's got a cast on right now for a double fracture of his
left thumb, suffered on Sunday.

I'd like to see skateboarding become an Olympic sport because the
international athletic folks would require helmets and wrist guards, which
would help normalize the use of those by skaters.

Yeah. But seeing as how that is all that one person in this house can
consume today, I am not going to do anything that would allow food odors to
escape into the air. Wouldn't be a nice thing to do. I do have some
chicken soup and leftover Mexican rice. Also some pizza that I baked
yesterday and plenty of cold salads.

What is Canlis salad? I've never been. I've always heard that it is
overrated and their menu seems rather simple. Or at least it was the last
time I looked.

Here is a recipe and some gushy prose from the New York Times:

<http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014572-canlis-salad>

They claim it starts with a "basic steakhouse salad" but with added mint
and oregano. The dressing is unique, but somewhat like Caesar dressing.
They summarize by saying "A Canlis salad, properly prepared, is a
revelation."

Why bother with an investigation, just assume it was cheating. No need

What makes international better? What is the benefit of playing a team
from Spain or Yugoslavia instead of Cleveland? We have 320 million
people here to make up a group of teams.

We do participate in international tennis, golf, hockey.

I agree there is plenty else to do, but it is far more than a 3 hour
show on one night. NBC coverage starts at noon on game day, not to
mention all the other hype. Even a show tonight about SB commercials.

I guess it is good for the economy.

It's far more than that here! You can't escape it!

Many Europeans have little intuition when it comes to distances in the
United States. Here's a couple of facts: The distance from JFK airport
in New York to LAX in Los Angeles is 2940 km. Compare this to the
distance between LHR (Heathrow) airport in London to DME airport in
Moscow being "only" 2545 km. Flying direct between the two European
capitals, you fly over several countries. Flying direct between the two
US cities, you fly over several states. I'd argue that American states
are roughly equivalent to European countries and that inter-state
sporting events are also equivalent to international sporting events.

The biggest gripe I've read is yours with this post. Have you lost the ability to pass by these posts if they give you a wedgie?

No "Superbowl Menu" here but there have been many times when I made
appetizers so...

I don't know what Buffalo *cauliflower* wings are but I've made really
good spicy *chicken* wings in the oven. Broiled. No batter or deep
frying. Butter mixed with hot sauce, brushing frequently, cooked until
nice and crispy.

Party "pizzas" on mini-rye bread. Use hot Italian sausage. Sausage
balls. Chips and dip.

I don't think of a menu, I think snacky food.

They've already made up stories and we also know someone is going to
be fired.
