What Are You Doing For Super Bowl?View Messages“Me? Saddly I am choosing not to watch it and to go hiking instead. What about y'all?” 5:45:27 PM 1/25/03 “Not a football fan. After church I'm going to an automotive swap meet/car show.” 5:48:40 PM 1/25/03 “Working. Thanks for bringing it up!” 5:52:29 PM 1/25/03 “I will be commanding 5 battalions of troops overlooking the DMZ in Korea, just so you loud mouthed, video-game playing, backpacking sissies can stuff your faces with warm processed food. If I wasn't here, there wouldn't be a superbowl, there wouldn't be football, just a vast barren wasteland covered with toxic water and radiant air. Are We Clear?!” 5:55:39 PM 1/25/03 “ Sir, yes Sir!”5:57:37 PM 1/25/03 “Colonel go back to the closset!” 6:00:41 PM 1/25/03 “I'll be in San Diego protesting the organized indoctrination of violence into your children's lives that they call the Superbowl just like every good liberal. Oh wait... I'll be sitting in a bar yelling for Warren Sapp to beat down Rich Gannon, rip off one of his legs and beat him with it” 6:01:02 PM 1/25/03 “If the Giants or Steelers aren’t playing in it it’s not a super bowl.” 6:07:43 PM 1/25/03 “Hear Hear, must hike.” 6:09:45 PM 1/25/03 “I agree must hike! I'm not really into football, but I'm originally from Pittsburgh and if the Steelers were playing..I'd hafta watch it!” 6:10:29 PM 1/25/03 “I had no idea there were other Steelers fans here. Good!” 6:11:47 PM 1/25/03 “Yep. Got my Terrible Towel too!” 6:16:16 PM 1/25/03 “We’ll call this a super bore.” 6:16:22 PM 1/25/03 “I live in Sacramento. If the raiders win, I'll never hear the end of it...” 6:20:41 PM 1/25/03 “I'm 100 miles south of you Phaedrus (and hikingirl), down here in the metropolis of Atwater.” 6:24:37 PM 1/25/03 “what is a super bowel.” 6:31:29 PM 1/25/03 “is that some kind of movement?” 6:32:19 PM 1/25/03 “the party's at my house, anybody that wants to come is welcome, there's food and drinks, and i'm sure there will be beer and anything ya want or bring with, come on over” 8:00:23 PM 1/25/03 no football for me... “smelting, then birthday parties. Enjoy the game though, those of you who aren't #&%!$faced by the time it starts, lol! (what time does it start anyway)” 8:14:47 PM 1/25/03 “STEELERS!!! Next year, with Maddox in there all year, and a revamped defensive philosiphy, the Steelers WILL be in the Super Bowl. You heard it here first.” 9:10:34 PM 1/25/03 “working” 9:15:02 PM 1/25/03 “dang twig, i didn't know smelting was still legal..... i'll be watching a football game during the superbowl....and the commercials! even though i don't like either team, i prolly dislike the raiders more. i give oakland a slight edge.should be a great game...” 9:36:14 PM 1/25/03 WOO HOO STEELERS!!!! “I will be working! I have to agree with Phaedrus and Hikin Mike- If the Steelers ain't playin' it ain't a game!!! Jack Lambert is the MAN!” 9:42:32 PM 1/25/03 “Maple and I are cooking up a bunch of good food for the game. Corporal Nasty and Twinkle Toes are set to join us. Anybody else in the vicinity want to join us? I am making a mean pepper steak and hors d'oevres.” 10:01:53 PM 1/25/03 “BTW. Go Bucs!!!” 10:02:13 PM 1/25/03 “Sorry Treebeard that I can't make it. I can't wait to hear how Mapleleaf's weekend hike went. I really wanted to go with her (except I was a little afraid too 'cause I'm not an EMT) My stepmother lost her place at the rehab center and has to stay in the hospital now until Monday.” 10:06:39 PM 1/25/03 “So sorry to hear that bit of bad news Lyndy. I hope the situation gets straightened out without much undue stress. As for Maple, she called earlier and was doing ok. I am concerned about her, but confident that she will do alright” 10:09:02 PM 1/25/03 “She is bruised up but doing pretty good. Just bummed. Mapleleaf is brave. She'll be all excited about her accomplishment tomorrow.” 10:14:47 PM 1/25/03 “She's going to be pumped. I just hope she stops talking by the time kickoff gets underway. j/k” 10:23:35 PM 1/25/03 “What did I miss yesterday? What happened to Maple? Obviously she is ok if she went hiking. Good Luck to her! Glad you're being so supportive Treebeard!” 10:24:44 PM 1/25/03 “LOL @ Treebeard Maybe she should wrap herself in cling wrap like in "Fried Green Tomatoes" to get you're mind off of the game?” 10:26:40 PM 1/25/03 “lmao, Hikingirl. She is fine, Tango. Just doing the winter solo thing tonight. I'm still under the weather, getting over a cold, so I couldn't go with her. Truthfully, I'm not real into the cold weather tent camping, but I don't want to stand in her way” 10:40:57 PM 1/25/03 NOW They're Reconsidering The Overtime Rule }:op “I still have my Terrible Towel and turn toward, bow and say a prayer in the direction of Pittsburgh everyday.” 10:53:09 PM 1/25/03 “Getting as far from the TV and all mention of that BS as I can. This hoopala is an embarrassment of the human race.” 1:27:00 PM 1/26/03 “Watching w/ a bunch of friends. I'm not a huge fan of either team cause I'm a Lions fan (I know, lol). But, I'll be rooting for Oakland cause Gannon has done me well on my fantasy teams in past years. So, Gooooo Raiders!” 3:14:23 PM 1/26/03 “We got a ring of shrimp cocktail, a tray of nachos with chili, cheese and veggies, a tray of salsa, ice cream, and a nice comfy bed to watch it from. Our calendar is cleared up for the game. Oh yeah, for drinks, we have diet ice tea.... Go Bucs!!!!” 3:21:51 PM 1/26/03 I'm off... “To my friends "White Trash Superbowl and Commercial watchin' Git-Twogweter" These are the rules.. 1) All snacks must contain at least one of the following ingredients: Cool Whip, Mircle Whop, Velveeta or chilli (preferably canned). 2) Attire may only consist of denim and/or T-shirt material. Bonus points for the following logos : NASCAR, Harley Davidson, Bud. 3) Beverages must be brewed within the contiguous 48 states and cost less that .75 a can. The "Champagne of Bottled Beers" is off limits, too high brow. 4) You automaticly win if you are sportin' a mullet. Have a good game folks..... see ya later. Go Tampa.” 3:29:07 PM 1/26/03 Addendum.... “Oops... in 1) that should be Miracle Whip... Also: Dates must be no farther removed than second cousins....Brother/Sister is prefered.” 3:31:12 PM 1/26/03 “Okay, everyone, game time draws near. I am at work, but there is absolutely nothing going on, so I have the TV on and will get to watch, assuming nothing breaks. I would say "go Bucs", but I just can't believe I'd be rooting for a team with Keyshon and Warren. Loudmouths.” 3:46:33 PM 1/26/03 “Are you ready for some foooooot---baaaalllll!!!” 4:45:41 PM 1/26/03 “GO RAIDERS!” 4:48:08 PM 1/26/03 “Helllooooooo you other Steeler fans!!! Super Bowl? Doing nuttin'” 4:54:21 PM 1/26/03 “LIZS?!? You too!? YEA!!!! GO STEELERS” 5:01:32 PM 1/26/03 “Yeah, I was in junior high when I became the only family member to like football. I used to be able to totally impress with trivia from that era.... now I have to say I THINK it was the year the Steelers first went to the Super Bowl, like 73-ish?? I remember the Immaculate Rececption on TV from that first season. WHEN THEY BEAT THE STINKIN OAKLAND RAIDERS!!! lol” 5:05:20 PM 1/26/03 “3 - 3, for those of you in Antarctica...
