The big gayme
I saw my aunt and uncle a few days ago. I love hanging out with them, so I asked what they were doing for the weekend. Our conversation:
Uncle: We're watching the game on Sunday.
Me: What game?
Uncle: Um, the SuperBowl?.... football...
Me: I had no idea it was even football season. Who is playing?
Uncle: Steelers and Seahawks.
Me (Now talking mental notes): Seahawks? They're a team? And they are from?
Uncle: Seattle.
Me: Anything else interesting, in case someone asks me?
Uncle: They have never been to the playoffs, and they're going to the Superbowl.
Me: Ahhhh (nodding, but not really understanding).
Don't get me wrong. I've actually watched some Superbowl games in my life, maybe even three. I really like the snacks, the commercials are fun, and now that I think of it, they usually happen in the winter. For some reason, I thought this was basketball season, but I guess I was wrong. I think there is some rule that they happen in the same city as one of the teams, so I'm guessing the game will be in Pittsburg or Seattle.
Anyone who has ever seen me throw a baseball accompanied by my girlish shriek knows that sports are not my thing. Last year we were dining with some of Derrick's friends and wondering why the restaurant was so empty before we realized that it was the Superbowl.
Now I just have to find out where to go this Sunday.

Ha! I didn't know it was Super Bowl weekend either until I was watching Good Morning America this morning. The only time I ever know about stuff like that is when someone at work asks me if I want to get in on the pool.

Some friends of mine have an event they call "Porn Ball." They watch the superbowl (or is it the rose bowl, I don't remember) and during the commercials they watch porn. Usually porn with a locker room or sports theme. It's really quite amusing and it makes watching whatever game it is almost bearable.
