In some parts all sodas are Cokes.

If I don't watch the "big game," I record it so I can fast forward and just watch commercials.
I do want the Broncos to win, but the Panthers are favorites, last I heard.

As opposed to an actual fact, like the one about about Swiss engineer
George de Mestral who is credited with discovering velcro.

If you read Mary's response to me (mispelled on purpose heheh),
he made a good point as to the states involved. Even though they
are based in NC, I'll grant that they could involve your state too.
If I lived in SC, I would consider them the "home team."

I do that too. I'll be hoping for the Panthers to win but they are not
my "home team." In cases like that, I'll have the game on and watch
but not as closely as if my team was playing. As always, I'll also
be reading a book at that time.

It's almost time the the annual announcements of who will not
be watching the game because it's stupid and moron thugs play.

Even though I don't watch professional football much, I will
be sorry to see the end of the season, but I'll enjoy the game.
I did win the pool twice this year, so my income stream will be
cut off. Heh.

I had an idea to make candied bacon as something to eat during
the Superbowl, but then I realized I will be consuming Way too
much bacon at brunch. I should make salad to eat for the game.

In my case it's not a matter of moron thugs playing, I simply don't
enjoy watching sports. I'm sure there will be other background noise
available on television.

LOL In my world, there's no such thing as too much bacon.
I'll be having some "bacon butties" today as a matter of fact.

I bought cheap bacon and it didn't taste so good. It wasn't preserved
with enough salt. Right when hot though I sprinkled some salt on the
slices and....oh yeah...that's what I'm talking about.

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the

YOU did that, you evil *******!

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

I know, millions of people will not be watching the game. No
ones take roll call of the non-participants.

(laugh) It's like leftover lobster. What is that??

We are going to brunch, it will be my one meal for the day and it
will involve more bacon than one person should rightly eat. In a
month.

I will be watching, and am sooooooooooooooo glad Denver is going. I expect
they will lose to Carolina, but without the Pats there it will be watchable
to me at least. I don't picture Peyton overwhelming Cam unless the defense
tosses him around like they did Tom.
