Footballternatives

February 1st, 2009 by Oskar Kennedy

The Big Game (R) is on tonight, and I’ve never been less motivated to watch it. I used to at least enjoy the commercials. Now, thanks to the magic/nightmare of the Internets, I can watch the good ones on YouTube tomorrow morning. Thus, I’ve got three or four hours of my life to do something more enjoyable.

This year, I’m going to make some fancy popcorn, and my wife and I are going to find a movie from Netflix watch on demand that we would like to see, but wouldn’t be horrified to fall asleep in the middle of.

Fancy popcorn is popped normally, but then instead of adding butter, I do all kinds of Secret Things to it. Which means I shake on about a teaspoon of olive oil, and some salt, garlic, cayenne pepper and rosemary. It’s delicious, and the oil spreads a lot more evenly than melted butter, so you don’t have that layer of soggy bits where the butter pours on.

What are YOU doing in lieu of watching the orgy of consumerism masquerading as sportsmanship Super Bowl? If you’re watching the game, that’s okay too. What are your plans?
