I admit that some of the Commercials are good.
But I could really give a flying **** about who wins.
I know some think that is anti-american, or whatever.
I will probably get up early Sun. morning,
go down to Huntington Beach, and watch some of the bands playing along the route for the HB Marathon.
Then either go find a place to eat, that doesn't have the game on.(good luck)
or come home and take a nap and sleep thur it.

More than likely,
I will be with my also sports hating buddy, Jonpaul.
:wink:

I don't care about the Super Bowl. It has also been my observation that most Tiki people do not follow professional sports. The Tiki gene is stronger than the Sports Fan gene !!

As even most Tiki bars will be showing the game, I think I'll go snowboarding.

Since there are so many sports bars, Do we really need our Tiki Bars
to pander to that crowd, I really find it distasteful to be in a crowd
of beer drenched TV screamers who don't see anything wrong with rioting after their team wins.

So no, not my cup of rum.

I would have watched if the broncos were in it because they would kick my happy ass out of Colorado if I didn't. They are out so I have no obligation - going to catch Jimmy Falon's live show after it, thought.

When the Raiders and Rams left Los Angeles because of lack of interest, sports writers in other NFL cities said that the people of L.A. would rather go surfing than watch football.

I think that was suppose to be a sarcastic putdown but I did not see anything wrong that.

By the Way,
Jonpaul and friends, aka High Tide will be playing at the Entrance to Bolsa Chica state beach from 8 am to 10 am ish.....

plus 6 or so other bands playing along the route from Bolsa Chica down to HB
park in Sunset, and ride bike down the route.
streets will be closed for marathon.

How about a link to information about the HB Marathon entertainment...

Run Surf City

Superbowl half time show with Madonna? No!
High Tide at Bolsa Chica? Si!

And just down PCH a bit is some of those crazy Californians who would rather surf than watch football on TV.

Seal Beach Surf Championships

All Proceeds from the Event will be donated to Seal Beach Victim's Fund in support of the members of the community that have been affected by the Salon Meritage tragedy.

Football bores me, and I won't be watching the game.

The Bowers Museum is free that day:

It may be a good time to see this exhibit:

I will go further...

TV Sports are the

ANTI - TIKI

Nothing depresses me more than finding an old tiki bar with a modern TV blaring today's sports news...

WHO CARES???
IF THERE'S A TIKI IN HEAVEN, PLEASE ANSWER ME: WHY DO PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT PRIVATELY OWNED TEAM/BRANDS ??? THE PLAYERS AND SPECIALLY THE OWNER DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEM!

I guess if you played it as a kid or your dad did. Or you know one of the players personally, or if you put money in it or if you really enjoy it (which I sometimes do, I also used to play it in Nintendo, good times...)

Oh boy... The thing is, if you tell someone that you love tiki/art. The look back at you like you are a WEIRDO.

I say do not support them. Support your local team. Take back sports for the people. Not corporations.

I live for Art, sports, friends/family. It kills me to see advertise in every square inch. I want to see real passion. Not a multibillon dollar circus.

Excuse my rant, but this is NOTHING compared to the footbol Assault your psique is getting this weekend.

Turn it off.

WORSHIP TIKI INSTEAD!

Well what can I say, I like watching the Super Bowl.. and sometimes I like drinking beer,ok I said it...but I also like "tiki drinks" and the tiki community. relax its a game. Your coming off as an "angry elf"

Z
Zeta posted on 02/03/2012

Angry elfs are cool. And they are not really angry or mean, they are just frustrated because they realize the world could be really a magical place if there weren't so many "Manipulated elfs" watching "Elf TV".

So is Disneyland a good place to go to on Superbowl Sunday? Is it empty because everybody is home watching the Superbowl? OR is it really crowded because people schedule visits on Superbowl Sunday thinking that it is empty but in reality it is full of people who think it is empty that day?

Urban Legends: Disneyland on Superbowl Sunday

We know that Disneys' California Adventure Park will be empty on Superbowl Sunday. Why? Well... it's empty everyday!

I'm not watchin for any noble reasons, I just think it's boring. I feel the same way about basketball, baseball, golf, car racing, the Olympics (summer and winter), doctor or lawyer shows, soap operas, talk shows, true crime shows, cooking shows, modern American crime dramas, most sci-fi/fantasy shows, current sitcoms, and a bunch of other programming I can't think of because it's the sorta stuff I never watch.

Nope, not watching. Checking out the new posts here, having a Jet Pilot while waiting for the lasagna in the oven.

I live in a football crazed State anyways so I'm used to ignoring football.

Have a pleasant Sunday evening everyone!

Ah shucks, I missed the whole game and the burlesque show I was going to attend. Instead I went to the Addams Family musical and then watched Val Kilmer go all the way to Mars and not find a damn thing for two hours. Much better time then the game.

It is nice out in the world during the Super Bowl, The traffic is light & friendly
and people (The few milling about also) seem more friendly too, so what does that say?

It's my favorite day to go on a rampage!

I'll be watching it, and you would too if the quarterback of one of the teams came from your hometown. Kaptown 209er's, from TURRRRRRLOCK!! Win or lose the guy is a winner.

I have more interest in this years Super Bowl since one of the teams got thier name from anEdgar Allen Poe poem*.

I hope this trend continues and the next NFL team name is inspired by a poem by Emily Dickinson or e.e. cummings.

*No, there is not an NFL team call the Conqueror Worms

Not a minute of it! I've been a sports fan all my life, but I'm tired of these whiny, selfish jerks who can't string a sentence together making millions while I scrape & bust my ass for every penny! I'm still watching hockey & a bit of baseball, but football & basketball will have to get along without me. I've got better things to do with my time.

I am right with you. It's the personalities that turn me off from football and basketball. And the fans.
