Consider the facts. The Super Bowl is an annual event where men come together, dress up in fancy outfits, bump and grind into each other, and at the end many of them have champagne. Very much like a circuit party, no?
This year, instead of making quizzical face at the mention of the Super Bowl, why not join the party. To help out, the MO intern, Chico, is researching the Super Bowl. (Okay, there is no Chico, but wouldn't it be hot if there was?) Anyway, so far Chico has the following to report:
- It is the Super Bowl, not the SuperBowl or the Super-Bowl. Definitely not the Superb Bowl.
- This is Super Bowl XL. This has nothing to do with that strange space in Chelsea called XL. And it has nothing to do with Trojan Magnum XLs. XL is Romanian for 40. The connection between Romania and the Super Bowl is unclear. A building in my neighborhood has a super from Romania who is a prick and who yells at my dog, so asking him is really out of the question.
- This year's game is between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks. The game will be played in Detroit. The location of the game has nothing to do with the hometown of the teams involved. Detroit has a team that will not be participating in the event.
- The Bowl in question has nothing to do with marijuana. The winners do not receive a bowl, or even a trophy, but they do receive jewelry.
- Diet Pepsi is the official soft drink of the NFL. Hot, right?
More details to come in the following days. The goal is to have you ready to go to a Super Bowl party, in the middle of the room and conversant, instead of the usual hanging out in the kitchen.
