The Most UnAmerican Thing I've Ever Done
The most unAmerican thing I've ever done is go food shopping during the Super Bowl. In fact I do it every year. The store is totally empty and I can whip through the aisles without ever having to say Excuse Me. No lines at the checkout either.

I did not see the famous wardrobe malfunction. I didn't miss it, either.

And there's more unAmerican things, too. The list of movies I haven't seen is awesome. I could never go on Jeopardy, I'd get wiped out on Who is John Wayne.

2. How dare they have stores open on Super Bowl Day.
Make people work Christmas but give them off Super-Bowl Day?

4. This Store Never Closes
I am not that old, but I remember when Super Bowl started. Back then, football was plain old football, not the Great American Ritual it has become.

I'll stop and watch high schoolers play football, but I don't care for the pageantry surrounding the Super Bowl. The annual "theme" is usually treacle.

3. i have found that Super Bowl Sunday
is the best day to go anywhere. I usually go out and paint. I could probably sit in the middle of the road and paint because there is no traffic. Best day to go wine tasting, too.
