Mans Favorite Holiday

Okay Let's get one debate over right now.  No my glass is not half full, it's always half empty.  In fact at best it will be half empty if not all the way empty.  Did I mention my glass is sitting on a claymore landmine?  Don't even think about filling it!

It's the most wonderful time of the year,
There will be popcorn a toasting and hot wings a roasting and Pepsi for All
It's the most wonderful time since last fall!

It's the Hap Happiest time of the year,
There will be footballs a flying and temperatures rising and calls not so clear
But it's the Hap Happiest game of the year!

Yes it's here again a mans favorite Holiday Super Bowl Sunday!  Did I mention my Packers are in the Super Bowl?  Ah the Food, the Fun, the Commercials and oh yeah there is even a football game in there somewhere.  Super Bowl Sunday is the chance to get the family around the TV, eat food designed to kill you and scream at a box in the corner of the room.  That is of course unless the Green Bay Packers make it and then it becomes a religious experience.  Feel free to Wiki Vince Lombardi and I think you'll share my thinking on that.

Truth be known though traditionally the games aren't that good.  In fact most women watch for the halftime show and of course the crown jewel of the Super Bowl, commercials.  Where else can you go to see a few companies burn through millions of dollars in 30 seconds just to get our attention.  Sure we could probably end world hunger or save a third world country with the money but then what would we talk about the day after around the water cooler?  Yes for four wonderful hours (longer with pregame) all our cares seem to drift away.  We become brethren in a common cause.  Man Vs. Food for the little guy. 

So from my living room with the Cheese Heads and blankets to yours I wish you a Merry Super Bowl and a Happy Food Year!

GO PACKERS!!!!
