No Super Bowl!!!! :eeek: Now you're just talkin' foolish.
lol I forgot about that. What was the fuss all about? It was an accident afterallI love me some SB commercials ....and halftime shows too......
With St. Valentine's Day nearing, should we not extend this question to other seemingly needless, Hallmark/Budweiser holidays? (without creating an entirely new thread - if one hasn't already been created for SVD).
I suggest the following "holidays", or rather days-designed, should be eliminated altogether for lack of purpose:
1. St. Valentine's Day
2. St. Patrick's Day
3. The Super Bowl (sure, you try telling millions of raving, drunken, face-painted men this isn't a holiday)
4. Groundhog Day
5. April Fools
I'm not trying to offend anyone, but seriously, do we need one more excuse to get smashed, hang out a window and shout, "Happy [X] Day!" or "Darling, I bought this $10k necklace for {X} Day; I really hope you like it," or "Awesome, the {X}'s are winning! Let's riot!"
This was the first year I have ever not celebrated. I went to bed at 9:00 and slept through it all. But then again, what do I have to celebrate? Evicted from my apartment, no job, no money, divorcing. Man 2011 is starting off a GREAT year.
Agreed on all counts save St Patrick's..... subject to the caveat that there's little we Irish find more irritating than plastic-paddys who've never even visited Ireland wiffling on about the 'Old Country' and claiming our culture as their own when the height of their so-called Irishness is their grandmother ate a potato once. (Course, don't even get me started on the fact that those were typically the very first to fund organisations that caused a lot of trouble and pain for the real Irish..... but hush my mouth, there's politics).
The majority of my campus is Irish or Italian-American, several generations down the line, and a lot of them are just looking for excuses, like any other college kids.
St. Patrick's is probably the biggest day of the year around here though.
Attend Georgetown?
Heathen.....We don't like the Jesuits .
Nope. We don't like the Jesuits that much around here. I am at CUA.
