Got you beat. We have the Stupor Bowl coming up.

I have to admit defeat.
To make matters worse down your way, you'll still have to suffer the Pro
Bowl & a Hawaii Bowl?



Well, I actually don't watch any of them, but when the Stupor Bowl is
over, I read an Associated Press headline so I can say with aplomb,
"Hey...weren't those (winning descriptor) great!" to those I talk with
who bring it up.

It's not snobbishness on my part; I simply find watching professional
football as boring as watching NASCAR racing, figure skating and
professional golf. I do like watching the occasional baseball game,
especially in person.

Harry, there are two (2) people here who give a ****. One of them has
remained silent.

I know, it's hard for you to not be bored by something if you don't
understand it.

Sort of like the rest of life experiences, eh? Read a little and claim
extreme knowledge.


How would you relate to "reading," Bilious?


Actually I read a lot. Have always enjoyed reading. Just, unlike you, do
not do a Walter Mitty.
