Super Short Guide to How to Not Ruin The SuperBowl Party

.





Hey, I just like the party atmosphere and social gathering. I may not have any idea what's happening during a game, but you know what I do know about?? Chips and salsa, Pepsi, and funny tv commercials. Yay! Let's get started..


Tip#1 Don't act like you care when you really don't.

Don't show up at a Superbowl party, asking everybody what a 1st down is. You know what? Now's not really the time. You don't care what a 1st down is. If you did, you'd already know. Or if you're just new to earth, IF you wanted to try to learn about how football is made, you should have just Googled that mother, before the biggest game of the year. There's so much perfectly free and easily accessible info out there, it's just wrong if you come to a party and you want people to break everything that's happening on the screen down for you through the whole game. I personally never have any idea what's happening, except when that guy gets down to the end of the field through all those other guys who were trying to stop him, and he does the thing when he gets there, and that's pretty fun. Yay! You did it! I just say good job and look for more chips...

*Tip#1 is a good tip for those girls who believe it's attractive to gain attention by being clueless. I see this happen sometimes. Yes, girls, I know you. You like to make a guy feel important by letting him explain things to you. Congrats on your progressive-ness, but! This is the Superbowl. So many people show up at parties sometimes, and it's not cool when an entire gang of you show up at a Superbowl party all at once, knowing full well you don't care about football, and spend all your time there asking basic questions about football at any guy you think is cute. This is especially telling if you never ask or even talk to any of the female football fans there. Hey, people are trying to watch the game. Cut it out.


Tip#2 Don't spend more time getting high/wasted then game-watching.

People who care about the game are trying to have good time. People who get blasted are forcing other people to be responsible for them and whatever happens after they get blasted. Don't do that to your friends, or friends' friends. Let them enjoy their Superbowl, vomit/property damage/emergency room/bail- free


Tip#3 Don't obstruct the view of the tv.
Actually, think of this as Tip #1.




In closing.... If you just like the party, just kick it and eat your fun eats and drink your stuff and cheer for whichever team you arbitrarily pick (or not) and just laugh at commercials and half-time stuff. And if someone cries because their team lost, hey, don't you dare laugh at them. Clearly they were invested. Just slap'em on the back and say, "Hey, we'll get'em next time, buddy."...and if there's any extra bottles of Pepsi, say "Hey, can I have this??"


Little Known Facts about me:

  • One interesting part of any real football game for me is the names on backs of jerseys. I often catalog these to use for interesting character names in the writings. Sometimes I look at something and wonder where in God's name I got that name, then remember it was off of some random football guy. :D
  • I used to like to pretend to play football. Not because I knew what I was doing, but because I enjoy tackling people and being tackled.





That is all.
