Sugar high
Acting on a tip, I Googled “Super Bowl drinking games.‿ If you thought the State of the Union drinking games were fun, you’ll be passed out before kickoff.
Suggestions include drinking when you hear the phrases “110 percent,‿ and “There’s still plenty of time.‿ Down three shots for any reference to Jerome Bettis's Detroit homecoming.
I, of course, will be drinking six-packs of room-temperature Hawaiian Punch. And crushing the cans on my head afterward.

What shoe size are you? What's your favorite color when you get a pedicure?
Wait -- football!!?? You mean this isn't a blog about feet?
Oh, sorry. Never mind.
(But do you think you can maybe point me to a good foot fetish site? Thanks.)

Don't worry about it. I get it all the time. And as far as the foot worship thing, you're on your own. My arches collapsed years ago.

You should play the pre-game drinking game, pass out for the actual game, then be hung over for the post-game, and finally back to soberiety before you go to sleep.

Hey Paige,
Are you using the 6-pak of HP from Costco? You know, those 64 oz. cans..
If so, watch those sharp edges if you use them to crush them on your forehead.
Footblog responds:
I'm using standard-issue cans, but thanks for your concern. At least this year I'm going to steer clear of the glass Snapple bottles (I'm a Mango Madness freak).

A caution on drinking games where you drink whenever someone scores - high scoring Superbowls are a killer. I'm still trying to wash the tequila driven lime stains off my walls from Superbowl XX.

I like mango madness also. I hate 110 percent also. What size screen will you be watching? Commercials or plays?

Sorry, but you and your blog are like a can of Hawaiian Punch......grabs your attention at first, but one sip and you realize the syrupy concotion is nothing you wanted in the first place. Do football fans a favor and stick to your Planet column and quit looking for attention in areas your're not interested in or wanted.

Seattle Steve, what a thorough simile! I'm disappointed -- and shocked! -- that a football fan so dedicated that he gives himself a special team nickname would not find any information of use at my blog. Go Steelers!

Good thing newspapers have sports sections...
Someone asked me, "who do you think will win?" I said, "who's fightin'?"
