So last night, I had my first SuperBowl party — but I admit that those of you really into the game would have been disappointed with the proceedings.
I heated up buffalo chicken tenders and popcorn chicken. I broke out the guac, the salsa, and the chips. And what’s a SuperBowl party without that Southern staple, Ro-Tel dip? To balance all the salty/spicy, I had a Godiva double chocolate cheesecake waiting on the sidelines. (Hey! A football word! I feel so butch!)
We started the evening with a toast, using my beloved bottle of Blu-di-blu, a curious wine beverage I came across in Italy. (We quickly dubbed it, “The Blue Fairy.”) It’s not exactly manly, but it’s the only champagne I’ve ever really enjoyed, and it got the evening off to a festive start.
After that, we fired up the game on my glorious 40-inch high-definition DLP television …
… and then promptly retired to the kitchen to sit around the table and scarf down the treats. After that, we hooked my PowerBook up to the PC feed on the t.v. (sorry, SuperBowl) and watched hilarious videos from Google Video and YouTube.com. If you’ve not seen the YMCA dance, the flatulent minister series, or the “They’re Dark-Sided!” tirade from the Trading Spouses woman, you haven’t been wasting enough time on the Internets lately.
After, we tried our best to watch the SuperBowl, but we got distracted by that amazing floating camera they were using to deliver swooping, helicopter-style shots of the game. After that, everyone felt a little sleepy (probably from all the junk food and Blu-di-Blu), and we all retired to our respective homes and went to bed.
Not exactly what was going on over at, say, Brett Farve’s house, I imagine … but fun, nonetheless.
Ohhhhhh Mark, Mark, Mark. I suppose you did the best you could without any hard-core northern football lesbians at your disposal. I gotta give you props for even trying. Within a day or two you should be able to waste more time on the internet watching all the funny commercials you missed while you were scarfing and surfing.
Mark,Try watching the Super Bowl from the UK. They butchered the broadcast. What with the references to the pitch (field) and the less than glamorous announcers giving technical drablike commentary, I was asleep in no time. Adding insult to injury, no commercials from the States. But watched them on Yahoo! and looks like cool commercials (oxymoron?) are a thing of the past in the new vanilla america.
To top it off…this was starting at 11:40pm! I needed some blu-de-blu.
You gotta love conviction. ummm until money is involved. ha! thanks for that. BTW: She looked like the dark side.
I have a question about the blu di blu. I’ve try it before and want to buy, but can’t find it anywhere? Any advice?
BLU DI BLUMark, I couldn’t help to notice that you mentioned Blu Di Blu. I have been searching for this wine for 2 years now. Do you know how I can get my hands on a bottle of it? I would appreciate any help you can offer. ….I have lost all hope until now.

Hi, Jackie.
This tasty drink simply isn’t available in the United States. I don’t know why!
If I hear of a distributor who is carrying it, I will be sure to let everyone know.
