Is there some big game this weekend?

Seriously, I know the Stupidbowl is on this weekend. We have a TV with a digital converter box that sometimes works. We mainly watch Netflix and I haven't watched a Superbowl in 30 years. Is anyone with me?

And I was a big football fan as a kid. But I really don't care anymore. There are more important things in life!

like the kids when they were young, or rarely - yeah baseball but mostly no. I can enjoy knowing a local team is doing well or something but actually watching bores me.

people who weren't into the game would come and we would drink and eat to excess while we discussed 17th. century Albanian poetry's impact on dental hygiene .

Too hard to decide! I love them all!

And don't forget the Kitten Bowl on Hallmark! We have a Super-squee Sunday planned!

On National Geographic Wild with intermittent checks on Puppy Bowl. Now I'll have to switch among the three important Bowls - Puppy, Fish and Kitten!

The best game in the whole wide world, though, is Nuclear War!

Nuclear War has the best rule in the universe for a game:

[font size="5"][font color="darkred"]If I can't win, nobody wins![/font] rule.[/font]

That is, if you have in your hand the 100 Megaton warhead card and no delivery system capable of sending it up, you can take a chance on the spinner for the Triple Yield spot. If you get it, you blow up the solar system!

Of course, you also sign your death warrant for the next hand as everyone attacks you first, knocking you out of the game early

Maybe my media-player, but it's a tiny screen (I bought it for the music-playing capability, not the video-viewing )

I haven't played NW in too many years. When we'd get together, it was always an all evening until way late at night kind of game. Same for Naval Battles, and, Tri-Ominoes

18. I'm debating whether to watch Puppy Bowl or Fish Bowl

Last year I jumped back and forth between the two but it got hard to keep up with the action. I think if I feel like a nap, Fish Bowl is the best choice.

Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet

Fish Bowl on National Geographic Wild

What a dilemma!

20. I've lost track of most of my old gaming buddies.

That is, for roleplay gaming, pencil and paper style.

What would be cool would be to set up gaming groups via skype. I could get into that, once I find my bag-o-dice

You can drive down the wrong side of the road and do wheelies with your shopping cart. No one is there.
