Football vs Hot Rods

Do you mean Snuggies?


The way I see it, the way the economy is, I'm not gonna sit back and watch a bunch of people get paid a bajillion dollars to throw a ball around.

 

good game...........great half time............"The Boss"

 

Football sucks. The only balls I like playing with are my own.

 

Superbowl? Do they burn rubber?

 

Well, at 0700 my son and I took the 27 Roadster down to the casino so he could place his doofy five dollar Superbowl prop bets and I could win $50 on video poker. From there we went over the the impromptu hot rod get-together in the big parking lot behind the Dunkin' Donuts at Craig and Jones. We wandered around there and took a look at the nearly 100 vehicles that had shown up and enjoyed the period music that was playing. Everything shows up - even a some TIThead it a freakin Prowler....there were actual rat rods there, a few goodlooking customs, some NOT so goodlooking. That casual encounter of the third kinds is done right around 1000hrs, so then it was over to Albertson's to get some last minute snacks where a nice blonde told me that I had a brake light out and that my car was 'cute' (but who didn't already know THAT?). Done standing in line and off to the house to cut up vegetables, summer sausage, three kinds of cheese, olives, crackers, chips...my wife's very excellent spinach dip, some of my Hidden Valley Ranch dip...some sparkling cider, diet coke, 31-40 shrimp with cocktail sauce. All that was made ready, and it was time to turn the game on...that's what we've been doing to this point - although my wife did fade away for ten minutes to talk to her dear sweet mother in Edmonds, WA who has no clue that it's SuperBowl day and just calls to chat. Son and I are oblivious to most of this. I have time to get on there to 'check in' because I don't care for Bruce Springsteen in the least, and I think the half time shows have been superlame for about thirty years. I'm old - I watched the first SuperBowl and with the exception of maybe two, have seen every one of them since that time. Hot rodding in the morning, and football and snacks in the afternoon - life is good...but then, it always has been.

Have a good weekend HAMBers....

We don't need no stinking football.

Watching sports on tv are for people who do not have hobbies.

 

I work on the hotrod while the game is on and stop for commercials. Then I will cheer for the underdog in the forth quarter.

 

superbowl was that on tonight?.........lol couldnt help it. I am semi watching it just cause I dont have a project to tinker with.

 

Football sucks...

 

What the hell is the Super Bowl?

 

I use the TV as background noise while I surf the HAMB

 

Who the hell cares who wins, at the end of the day you still wasted 4-5 hours on watching some overpaid jocks play a game. I didnt like jocks in school and I dont like them now. I think sports are the biggest waste of time and money!! I played sports in school and it was ok but didnt join any teams even though I probably could have been better than most of the people ( jocks) but then I went out and got a job after school and earned what I got. The jocks usually got everything given to them from their parents. Thats how it was in my school.

 

Isn't that a bunch of guys showering together and playing with balls?

 

lots of bitterness, fellas

 

Bowling isn't much of a spectator sport to me... oh ... football?

Football isn't either. I'd much rather watch reruns of Pinks on TV.

 

THIS I need to print and post in my Shop..

 

Got half the floor board in my hot rod done. Hell I even got a television in the shop. but if I turn it on don't get nothing done. I lost interest in football a few years back when it looked like the refs played the game.

 

Not much of an athletic supporter.....................Put the e brake cable housing on the 32 panel thing.

 

My ADD won't allow me to sit still long enough to watch any sporting event. Building hot rods lets my mind be as active as it wants.

 

who wants to watch a bunch of overpaid homo's run around a field. i have a broken leg so i cant really work in shop. but im not watching the stupid bowl

 

Same here and I only look up to watch the commercials

 

Sounds like some are still bitter about not being cool in HS and getting laid by the hot girls.

Ball sports are great, this one is becoming a snoozer in the second half...so I'm on the JJ.....

 

Well said!

 

Laptop, wireless modem, and a TV w/ a beer. Sensory overload. Perfect for my ADD.

 

Fuck the Superbowl, I dont even get more than 1 channel. the lil dude and I tried out the new welder today.

 

only good football on tv is college!

 

here you go fellas! ..........Now time to go check ebay for scores on listings that end during the game! haha

 

what is this "football" you speak of?

 

My "super bowl" is in two weeks...Pomona!!!!!
