Anti Superbowl Party!
|
 Are you one of those people who think that this Sunday just means you get to sleep in? Are you, like me, completely unaware of and apathetic to what teams are in the Superbowl. If you are we will be having an Anti-Superbowl party. |
| I and my wife, Laura will make home-made pizza dough, sauce, and some cheeses. (The cheese will not be home-made.) We will also bring pepperoni, sausage, onion, green pepper, ham, and mushrooms. If you want something special, bring it with you. If someone would like to provide beverages, that would be wonderful. Aaron is watching Penelope, so it will be at his place. I have to work the first part of the day, so we will be there about 4:00, so we figured on having the pizza cooked by 5:30 or 6:00. Please post here if you will be coming, so we know how much dough, sauce, etc. to bring |

| Also, we plan to watch a movie. It has not been decided which movie yet. And depending on how many people are coming, you might want to bring a camping chair or something. Our living room is kind of low on seating, and I am not really interested in bringing all of the furniture down from upstairs like at the Matrix party. (I am going to say the same thing for the upcoming LOTR party too, so perhaps it's time to invest in something portable and comfy now?) I do want to watch the Superbowl commercials though... I wonder if some website will have them available to download... |

| fuck foot ball. just think if all the time devoted to foot ball was devoted to the study of classic literature... or creating equity for your home... or you know.. *anything* besides whatching, talking about, or thinking about men in tights hurting each other for no reason. |

| True Story About 15 years ago, the US Defense Department conducted and extensive 3 year study to test what day of the year the US was most susceptible to and least reactive to an attack. They did more than simply see what percentages of personnel were on leave. They also acted out tests of early alert bases and time it took units to be made ready to deploy. It was suspected that we would perform poorly on Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years Day. But to have a comparison average they did test every day of the year. The surprising, unexpected result, which you may have guessed by now, was that we were the most vulnerable on Super Bowl Sunday. They found that not only did a lot of personnel take the day off, but also that the ones on duty were not paying attention to their duties. Believe it or not. |

If you watch the Super Bowl, the  ists have already won. |

| It is obvious that most of you have never played a team sport. Football yes is just a game, but it is so much more to a lot of people. Look at how many people it bring together to enjoy an afternoon of watching an organized event. It gives you a sense of pride to cheer for you favorite team. Plus it help some people bond, “hey, did you see that game last night?” “Yea, it was incredible.” At a young age, team sports are important to help develop social skills. Don’t you remember as kids play football, baseball, freeze tag or hide and seek. These we all team games that help build us into who we are. I grew up in a home that didn’t watch sports. My Dad worked all the time and wasn’t much of a sports fan. So, I didn’t watch many sports until I reached Junior high. I joined that football team and fell in love with it. To me it is a lot more than men in tight pants bumping into one another. People who make that commit have never played the game. It is the battle on the field between two opponents. A chess match to see who can out last and out wit you foe. It taught me discipline and that it is important to use not only your body but also your mind as well to succeed in life. People always think that football players are dumb. This again is people that probably have never played the game. I encourage you to take a NFL playbook and memorize it completely. Then watch hours of game film to be able and learn what to watch for in a live action game. Football is one of the hardest and most complex of all team sports. I love football and the Super bowl and will watch it this Super Sunday. |

| No, it is Anti-American not to watch. You are a ist. |

| wayne - i played soccer for 4 years. It kept me healthy, and that was good, but i couldn't imagine watching it........ |

| The ism joke was just a joke. No one really feels that football supports ism, or is in any way anti-American. I'm sure your feelings on football are completely right, too. I can see that there is more depth to the game than might appear at first. I just don't enjoy watching it. I have played some team sports in the past, and it's fun. My favorite to play is volleyball. (I like to spike.) But I don't watch volleyball. I have played in numerous chess tournaments, but I wouldn't go watch one. I just plain don't enjoy being a sports observer. Turn the sound off of any of these games, take off the on screen graphics, and each game looks exactly like every other game. It does to me anyway. It isn't exciting unless you are paying very careful attention to every single aspect, and I just don't feel like making the commitment to watch enough games and sports commentary shows to get the background needed to really appreciate everything. You, Wayne, are also still invited anyway. |

| Chill out Aaron. I was Joking too. I know yours was also a joke. Greg- Soccer is not a sport. You can't use you hands. Any activity that you can't use you hands is not a sport. Aaron- Volleyball is a girls sport. (This is a Joke BTW) |

| (in response to: "It is obvious that most of you have never played a team sport.") I played football in high school. I was in good shape, but I also now have injuries that still give me pause. (A broken bone in my hand that occasionally still aches.) Years ago, on Ripley's Believe it or Not with Jack Palance, I saw some interesting trivia. I can not find a link to corroborate this, but according to the show the average time that the ball is actually in motion in a football game is about 12 minutes. |

| If someone edits the game together with only the footage where the ball is in action, I will watch it. |

| Aaron, OMG! Its called a Highlight Reel (exactly what you described) and they are always on ESPN or Local News every time there is a game. Before and after. Dude, get cable. Soccer and Volleyball are for dandy-boys. They should call soccer, Nancy-ball. |

| I am reminded of Meet The Parents, after Ben Stiller smashed his girlfriend's sister's nose with a volleyball. "Way to go, Focker!" I can understand if you are afraid of being beaten, Steve. My madd v-ball skillz can be a bit intimidating. |

| Do you have a Volleyball video game? |
|

| I like to see Steve vs. Aaron in a VB match. Afterwards that winner could get this hair and nails done. |

| There is one sport that involves men in tights that is both gay and linked to ism: Wrestling. There I said it. Pro wrestling maybe not, just makes you a redneck. Robot wars makes you the nerd version of a redneck (a nerdneck?), but at least it doesn't involve sweaty men trying to pin each other. I watch sports on occasion - my favorites are basketball (because there is constant movement and high scoring) and golf (because it is like a an audio/visual sleeping pill on a Sunday afternoon). But even in basketball, the frequency of timeouts drives me nuts. I enjoy a football game when it involves hanging out with the guys, drinking beer and eating hot wings. I can assimilate myself like a Borg into any social group in that way, even make commentary that is so convincing you would think that I watch football all season. My actual goal is to gather information on said group and report it to the government and/or telemarketing agencies. By the way - you are all (except Steve and Wayne) now on a telemarketing list for Popular Science and Women's Day magazine.  That was not a joke. |

| Thanks! You are now on a gay rights email newsletter. Several of them actually. Now, robot sports I do enjoy. I just wish it was a little more advanced than it is right now. There was a BattleBot that was literally a washbin turned upside down on to a frame with some wheels. It did pretty good. Real kung-fu robots, that's the next step... |

Rob - #31 Fri, Jan 30th 2004 @ 1:55 PM 39 words |
| Aaron, funny you should have such quick and ready access to so many gay rights newsletters... QUIT LOOKING AT MY ASS! And thanks Ang! Just for that you won't get locked in the crawlspace this weekend. |

| You see what happens when I try to say something nice? thanks Aaron. |

| But I was being nice! |
|

Aaron - #35 Fri, Jan 30th 2004 @ 5:55 PM 34 words |
| Ang, I think every woman's husband is SOME sort of freak. I continually have to remind Paula that she has only herself to blame for wanting to marry the IT guy from work. |

| RSVP Well since the party is starting so late- I will be able to make it. Might even be able to get some hot pizza!! I thought about having a baked potatoe bar too, lots of topping and you just build your own? What do you guys think about that? |

Rob - #42 Sat, Jan 31st 2004 @ 3:32 PM 22 words |
| Party sounds awesome, but my brother in law is coming over to watch the game tomorrow. Woohoo! Go Patriots and/or Panthers! |

Steve - #43 Sat, Jan 31st 2004 @ 6:07 PM 22 words |
| The Panthers have never won a Superbowl. I like the underdog. |
|
|
Rob - #44 Sat, Jan 31st 2004 @ 6:51 PM 26 words |
| Yes. I also like their logo better, ergo I will be rooting for the Panthers. I used to get beat up in grade school for this. |
|

Jim - #45 Sat, Jan 31st 2004 @ 8:45 PM 25 words |
| And you say I'm gay. Is it just going to be me, Laura, Aaron, Paula, and Troy and maybe Huyen? |

Aaron - #46 Sat, Jan 31st 2004 @ 9:47 PM 14 words |
| Also, is someone bringing a movie? If not, we can crack open the Firefly. |

Rob - #48 Sun, Feb 1st 2004 @ 12:54 PM 45 words |
| Technically, it wasn't me that suggested anyone was gay - it was Aaron. I just said I was going to send you Popular Science and Woman's Day magazine... actually Popular Science is pretty cool... |

| I don't watch much football, but that was one of the best games I have watched. The half time show sucked, and so did the commercials. But the game was very close, down to the last 40 seconds. I can enjoy a football game if it is a good one... |
