Please let us know if you won't be watching the Super Bowl

[taterguy]

How you choose to spend your Sunday is vitally important to us.

Well, some of us anyway.

[yuiyoshida]

1. I will be right here...on DU

eating General Tso's chicken. Yum!


I don't have a TV... not going anywhere. (fried banana and ice cream for dessert!)

[mountain grammy]

18. Wow, that looks yummy.

[yuiyoshida]

21. This is a bit more spicy than sweet

My lips are BURNING!!! ... can't wait for the fried banana and ice cream!!!

[mountain grammy]

37. Ok, I'm officially hungry. mmmmmmm

[yuiyoshida]

58. I just watched this movie..

The search for General Tso... excellent!!
The Search for General Tso:

via @YouTube this was so good! Loved this movie!

[mountain grammy]

89. Great little movie.. General Tso Chicken is one of our favorites.

[KingCharlemagne]

53. Beautiful presentation. Esp. like the use of the sliced scallions to set off the orange

of the chicken. (I make mine with snow peas and get color that way.)

[GentryDixon]

63. I watched the video you posted yesterday.

It looks delicious and really quite simple. My sis & I will be making this soon. Thanks!🐔

[yuiyoshida]

86. Great, let me know how it turns out!

I have my second one in the fridge, for when I am ready to eat again!

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. Hiking, reading, bicycling, making love.

I never watch the Super Bowl.

[taterguy]

4. Or proofread your posts

Apparently.

[Agnosticsherbet]

8. I can multitask

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

29. What about the Superb Owl?

Ever spot it while hiking? (h/t Stephen Colbert.)

[Agnosticsherbet]

36. At this time, I think the Superb Owl range does not range much farther south

than the Washington State Line.

In California, I have seen a great horned owl, and it was a superb Owl specimen. Bit its was no Superb Owl, if you get my drift.

[Half-Century Man]

3. Not watching, don't give a shit about football.

My wife is a packer fan though.

[chillfactor]

5. not watching...

grown men trying to do harm to each other not in my playbook..

watching movies instead....

[braddy]

6. It doesn't interest me.

[Thinkingabout]

7. I will be working.

[Siwsan]

9. Not watching but.....

I am sitting in front of a blazing fireplace, sipping on a glass of Penderyn Welsh Whiskey, and watching the snow fall, knowing I don't have to worry about going anywhere until Tuesday. It's a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

[Sherman A1]

11. Perfect!

that sounds simply perfect!

[Siwsan]

14. My neighbor has even offered to clear my driveway, after the storm ends

My REPUBLICAN neighbor. A Republican who actually still believes in helping others. I would love to clone him.

[Sherman A1]

19. Super!

Sit back and enjoy! And a to your Republican neighbor.

[Cleita]

10. Reading. eom

[elleng]

12. Bourdain and Downton Abbey.

May be in kitchen, cooking, for a while.

[monmouth4]

13. Downton Abbey and Mystery on Masterpiece ...n/t

....

[JI7]

15. working, walk along the beach, reading , eating

the beach will be more empty than usual which is how i most like it.

[Man from Pickens]

16. that's totally awesome

it's really great how much people care for each other, so community

[ChosenUnWisely]

17. Go Away 'Bating

[Marr]

20. Is it on right now?

I think I might go grocery shopping while everyone's watching their game.

[yeoman6987]

51. Pre show and it has been good

About 20 minutes until kickoff. This and Christmas morning are both so exciting.

[JI7]

22. how about a thread on what people are eating for the super bowl

that would interest me even though i will not watch the game.

[ChosenUnWisely]

23. I am making Beef Stroganoff and drinking a bottle of wine no SB

[FSogol]

26. Pork carnitas, taco style with homemade corn tortilas and guacamole.

Served with Spanish rice and refried beans.

Drinking Yard's Pugilist Style Ale and Lancaster Milk Stout



Friends coming over, we'll have the game on, but none of us really care about it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. Made a PERFECT Prime rib roast

Grass fed organic local beef.
That, and baked potato, with peach cobbler for dessert, on a rainy Sunday.
Yuuummmers!

What's a Super Bowl...

[Panich52]

78. I'm comin over f/ leftovers. I'll make Yorkshire pudding w/ drippings :)

[dixiegrrrrl]

87. Been thinking about Yorkshire pudding..

Never tried it ,but did look at a recipe a few days ago..
There's no pudding in the pudding!

[Panich52]

96. Not much of a desert, either. But very tasty. Long time since I had any :(

[Lefta Dissenter]

82. Chicken Shepherd's Pie (from scratch)

while I watch a marathon session of Hell's Kitchen on Hulu.

[procon]

24. What! And miss the Kitty Bowl or the Puppy Bowl... no way! nt

[X_Digger]

25. +1 n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

47. Plus the How it's Mad marathon on the science channel!

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

27. Spring cleaning.

Or at least winter cleaning. If I ever watch football, it's by accident.

[bowens43]

28. I'm 56 and have never watched a super bowl or any other professional sporting event....

I really dont get sports. Grown men running around like idiots chasing a ball and getting paid outrageous sums of money. This is inductive of everything that is wrong with this fucked up country.

[BeyondGeography]

35. Every country loves a sport that involves a round object

Might as well extend your indictment to the whole world using that logic.

That said, American football is a proven cause of brain damage to those who play it. I don't know if that somehow sheds light on its unique hold on this country, but i wouldn't stand in the way of anyone who made the argument.

[ileus]

46. You do realize we're not the only country with pro sports...right?

In fact I'd almost guarantee there are pro sports played in every country.

[Marrah_G]

93. Sports are not a new thing

People have competed against each other since before history has been recorded.

[Autumn]

30. I will be eradicating all diseases, ending world hunger and brokering peace in the ME

while I watch the Patriots kick ass.

[no_hypocrisy]

31. Finishing two legal briefs to be submitted tomorrow.

I wouldn't be watching even if I didn't have work to do.

[jeff47]

32. As always, XKCD has an excellent comic on this subject.

[Aerows]

50. I'm already halfway gorged on dip

and the mini-sandwiches. That's me, right there, thanks Jeff47

EDIT: Oh hell, here comes the cheese tray. :thud:

Spanish Manchego. When I stop eating, I'll post again.

[SheilaT]

33. I'll be doing my feeding the homeless gig

at the local shelter. Spent this morning making spicy sausage pasta bake and minestrone. Others will also be bringing food.

I wouldn't be watching anyway.

[SeattleVet]

34. I've been working in the basement,

straightening out the electronics workbench and sorting thtough some parts. Later I'll be fabricating a case for the frequency counter I just built, and doing some alignments on my oscilloscope.

Much more productive use of my time than sitting around watching one billionaire's team play against another billionaire's team. I don't plan on watching a single inning!

[LWolf]

38. Okay.

Since you asked, I'll be filling out more paperwork to try, again, to refinance my home. I might check in to the SB occasionally, since the Seahawks are the closest thing I've got to a "local" team, and my sons are sure to ask me if I watched the game the next time I talk to them. They, I'm sure, will be texting each other from 1200 miles apart all through the game, just as they did in the NFC championship game. I'm doing laundry. I'm packing away my dog's things, as she passed a week ago. That's really enough for the day, all by itself. I'm putting the cat in her harness on her turnout line so that she can get out doors. I'm doing dishes. And finally, in any spare time, I'll be reading a book.

[NV Whino]

39. Out with the camera

Nothing interesting to share so I will veg out with Netflix.

[LynnTTT]

40. Husband only watches Ohio State

I never watch unless I'm at a party. Couldn't care loss.

[MohRokTah]

41. 21 minutes to kickoff!

I'll be watching to see how many times the Seahawks are able to strip the ball from the Patriots.

[yeoman6987]

54. Awesome show so far!

That makes me so proud to be an American. We are so lucky to have such beautiful country songs and add the military and flyover and we are close to perfect. The football players so respectful during the songs. We are truly great!

[tularetom]

42. Camping on the beach here on the central CA coast

Where it's 65 and sunny with a cool breeze blowing off the ocean.

I guess we could drive to a bar and watch the Owl but we probably won't.

[ileus]

44. reloading 9mm...

I have 2000 rounds to load before Spring hits and kayak season hits, at 50-100 every 4 or 5 days it'll be after the spawn before I'm finished if I'm not careful.

So I'll sit at my bench and glance at the game from time to time.

[madokie]

45. I've got it from a good solid source

that you have a tv in the back room that you'll be watching the game on.
Just funning you

I remember when I didn't even know what the hell it was all about

[Arugula Latte]

48. You care! You really care!

I'm going to go to the Stephen Hawking movie. Thanks again for asking, and I know your question was asked with love and profound sincerity. That makes me feel warm and tingly -- warngly, I like to call it.

[Aerows]

49. I've already eaten too much dip

and too many mini-sandwiches while I was making them.

I'll probably end up taking a nap and cleaning the kitchen when it's over. Except I might have just a little bit more of that dip ...

[yeoman6987]

52. So proud to be an American!

This Superbowl is incredible! John Legend did great. The national anthem is so beautiful! The football players so respectful with their hand over their hearts. The military looking so professional. The flyover a wonderful touch.

Our country is incredible! The most beautiful thing I have watched in a long time.

[Buns_of_Fire]

55. Working on a proposal to the NFL to eliminate future underinflated football problems.

Mainly, I'm proposing that all future games be played with bowling balls instead. I made the same proposal to the NBA, and they respectfully rejected it. We'll see what happens here.

Other than that, I'll just watch the halftime show and root for a wardrobe malfunction.

[GP6971]

56. Going to lay track for the new train board

I'll have it on mostly for background noise

[AwakeAtLast]

57. I was born on a Super Bowl Sunday

When it wasn't so commercial. I have grown tired of professional sports.

We are watching reruns of Star Trek TNG.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

59. I will be

doing my research on BFEE ....

[TimeToEvolve]

60. to hell with the super bowl

i'll be moving snow and finishing homework

[TheCowsCameHome]

61. Riding my bent-rim bicycle, chain smoking cigarettes.

Life is good.

[Padiddle]

62. I'll be watching the SNL marathon

on VH1 Classic. They're airing almost every episode of every season, going backwards (season-wise, not episode-wise) until they get to the end with the first season from 1975.

I'm a Pats fan but I tend to get way too emotionally involved in the game and am too nervous to watch. So for my own mental health, I'm going to laugh at SNL reruns rather than get anxiety-ridden about the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks seem utterly vicious and I don't trust them not to play dirty. Especially since a lot of people are rooting for them to destroy the Pats over the, er, "over-inflated" non-scandal.

On right now is s32e03 (October 21, 2006) with host John C. Reilly and musical guest My Chemical Romance.

[CTyankee]

64. Nooo...of course not. Why would I do that?

I am doing art history research right now. This is important.

[rock]

65. OK, no I won't

When is it?

[Triana]

66. No use for it. Have no TV and wouldn't watch if I did. n/t

[WorseBeforeBetter]

67. Well, it started with chai, WCPE sacred music, and Madame Bovary in bed...

and it's gonna end with British Baking, Downton Abbey and Masterpiece Mystery. In between I did laundry, cleaned up cat barf, put up some Valentine's decorations, made a yummy turkey/mushroom/rice soup, and napped.

Thanks for asking!

[airplaneman]

68. Not me - never have been into sports.

Today is mow the lawn - do some shopping - spend some time on the internet.
Back to work tomorrow.-
-Airplane

[LuvNewcastle]

69. Not me.

I just woke up, and I'm not turning on the tv.

[Spider Jerusalem]

70. As an adult, I realise that not everyone enjoys the same things I do.

So if I say "I'm going to be doing/watching X this evening" and someone says "that's nice, but I'd rather gouge out my eyeballs than do X, personally", I'm not too bothered.

[wildbilln864]

71. browsing the web...

watching youtube videos and/or netflix documentaries, etc...not interested in the superbowl...

[Shrike47]

72. Playing World of Warcraft. Will I ever get to 91?

[olddots]

73. I'm listening to Chopin

and reading. poetry. ....NOT !!!!! actually doing nothing in my lonely depression. naw I'm

typing on DU

[cantbeserious]

74. TV Free For 14 Years Now - Could Not Watch - Even If My Life Depended On It

eom

[Sweet Freedom]

75. Laundry /nt

[adigal]

76. No TV here either - how come only liberals have no TV?

Maybe because we think?

[JonLP24]

77. Go Seahawks

I love teams that dominate with old school football.

I don't know why so many overlooked Ohio State who had the most dominant pass defense & it wasn't even close of the final 4 teams.

[TexasTowelie]

79. No TV here either.

Surfing the Web, eating and cleaning.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

80. When is it?

[Generic Brad]

81. I have done two things

During the first half I went shopping with my wife. The streets were empty. I was free to move around without salespeople bothering me and other customers milling about.

For what I estimate is most likely the second half, I am watching the Farscape movie on DVD.

All in all, a quiet, peaceful day.

[rurallib]

83. watching the Academy Award show on TMC

earlier saw some AFVs we hadn't seen.

[msanthrope]

84. I love this flypaper thread.

Me.....I'm drinking a seasonal I brewed and bottled myself.

[upaloopa]

85. I took a motorcycle ride and watched the video about 1964.

I graduated high school in 1964. It was a hell of a year.

I just don't have any interest in sports.

[roody]

88. I went to my classroom and worked for 5 hours.

I'm one of those lazy teachers.

[Taitertots]

90. Spoiler Alert: I just watched zardoz on my laptop... WTF!

Last edited Wed Feb 4, 2015, 02:23 PM - Edit history (1)

You know it's going to be bananas when it starts with a disembodied head floating on a black screen.

[taterguy]

95. Ahem

Spoiler alert please.

Thank you.

[Taitertots]

97. You haven't seen Zardoz? And you call yourself a Tater

Go watch it so you are ready for the HDTGM Zardoz episode.

[2naSalit]

91. I didn't watch it..

Don't have a TeeVee, don't like football. So I was on DU for a while, then I went to town and got fingerprinted for my job that starts in a few months (major background check that takes weeks at the very least), went skiing and saw two wolves, a moose and bobcat tracks. Then I came home and did a couple hours of vocal workout and practiced my mandolin and watched it snow for a while. Now I'm back here before I go to bed.

I had a great time. Hope you did too.

[Skittles]

92. didn't watch it

but participated in Superbowl pool and potluck

[Blue_In_AK]

94. Didn't watch, don't give a s**t
