What are you doing during the game?

[myohmy2]

...it may be considered un-American by some, but I really don't care about football...I enjoyed playing sports as a kid, but today all I see in football are millionaires employed by billionaires playing a kid's game...and we, directly or indirectly, get to pay for it all...

...it's sort of the feeling I have about the lottery...I have yet to buy my first lottery ticket...if I was to participate, I couldn't escape the feeling of being played for a sucker...

...so, I think I may take a long car ride now that the cold spell has snapped, or maybe just go out to eat with Grandma, who like me, doesn't give a rat's ass about organized capitalist sports...

...but whatever you do, for heaven's sake, enjoy yourself...

[katmondoo]

1. Sleep or read a book

[Lochloosa]

2. Working in my wood shop

[DontBooVote]

19. I like your plans! What are we making?

[Lochloosa]

41. A Tongue Drum. I'm trying to improve my skills on small boxes.

Thought this would be fun to make.





They come in a varity of shapes and sizes. This one is called a handpan

[DontBooVote]

97. Oh, wow! That's a cool project. Hope to see the finished product!

[JustAnotherGen]

3. We don't watch either

Not our thing. That said - I HAVE woken up to 10 guys from Italy watching a Formula 1 race real time. First thing in the morning. Breakfast pizza for everyone.

[tanyev]

4. Grocery shopping.

Usually do it Saturday afternoon, but I feared that it would be insane yesterday.

[The Truth Is Here]

5. Delivering food.

i work for Postmates.

Doordash and Grubhub are expected to be extremely busy. My shift will begin in 3 hours and wont end until 8pm. Its all about the volume delivery

[Ohiogal]

6. My husband will watch it

I will either be browsing on the computer or fixing dinner .....

Even my husband says he's not too excited over it this year, and he's a pretty big football fan.

I agree, it's way too hyped up, it's become political now with the standing-for-the-flag issue, i can't stand the objectification of women acting like teenage cheerleaders, and I hear Dumpy is going to be interviewed right before? Who needs all that??!

[milestogo]

7. What game?

[Achilleaze]

8. Munching

[Mosby]

9. I'll probably be drinking some beer.

Maybe doing some scratchers during commercial breaks.

[lindysalsagal]

10. baking a birthday cake!

[Maeve]

11. There is a game on?

Kidding...the stores have been having sales on "game food for the big day" for two weeks now. But I had to google to find out the time so I can answer your question. That would be suppertime and usually MSNBC followed by some computer time and then Netflix or other movie-type entertainment for the evening. Only watch sports when forced to it.

[Polly Hennessey]

12. Grocery store.

[dameatball]

13. I'm probably weird, but I usually make some kind of big game related snack but rarely watch more

than 10-15 minutes of the actual game. I just don't care about NFL football. I do enjoy the snacks however, as I read a book or catch a movie. Tonight it will be leftover enchiladas and nachos. It's all good.

[padah513]

14. Beer and that Hans Solo movie free on Infinity

I haven't watched the Super Bowl in years. Lost interest somewhere along the way, but I will watch a college football National Championship.

[ProfessorGAC]

93. Really?

Minor league, full of corruption football is OK, but not an international event like the SB?

[northoftheborder]

15. That will be a great time to shop for groceries!

Most people watching game.

[Kurt V.]

16. Extracting my own teeth.

that would be more enjoyable.

[nocoincidences]

17. I am currently bingeing Blacklist

on Netflix.

I might be making my salad to start a Keto Diet challenge this evening. Yeehaw.

[lilactime]

18. Watching original Dark Shadows episodes on Amazon Prime.

[bedazzled]

35. I love shadows too

What part are you up to? Just finished the first flashback

[lilactime]

38. I'm rewatching from the very first episode and am up to #203 -

shortly after Willie Loomis' first appearance.

Did you watch the show when it was first on? I watched every episode from day one and was sooo upset when it was canceled!

[bedazzled]

98. I came in after barnabas saw his sister's ghost. I was 10

Never stopped watching after that. Even when it didnt make sense anymore. Bought the box set several years ago and saw the beginning episodes for the first time. I never knew who Bill Malloy was but I loved the actor. Had a crush on david the first time around...wish I had more time to watch but i dont iron anymore. My clothes can be picked off the floor and worn now!

[bedazzled]

99. Isnt john karlen da bomb

Can you believe the clothes? People actually wore that? I didn't my parents were boring

[lilactime]

106. Willie Loomis makes my skin crawl!

[bedazzled]

108. There were two ya know. The first one drank so they fired him

The one in the burton movie was way worse. I loved the Burton movie too...

[lilactime]

111. I wondered why the first one disappeared so fast. I think he was even creepier.

[bedazzled]

113. He was attempting to do James dean

And failing misersbly. Do you have any of the books by Katherine Leigh scott?

[lilactime]

115. No, I didn't know she wrote any.

[bedazzled]

118. They are mostly pictutes

Little interviews with some of the actors. They are enjoyable. Maybe available on ebay

[FoxNewsSucks]

42. Good plan

I've loved that show since I was in 1st grade. That's one of the few things I remember my whole family agreeing on. My mom would pick us up after school at 3, and usually hit 100mph on the country road to make sure we all got in front of the tv right when the "previously on" bit ended.

In the 90's, SciFi ran 2 a day, I taped and watched the whole thing then. That was the first time I'd seen the pre-Barnabas episodes.

A while back, I found the complete DVD set at one of those antique / flea market places for $100 so I splurged on it. It is in nearly perfect condition. Since then it has been my Sunday evening habit to watch a few episodes. I'm up to #787 now, in the 1896 flashback with Quentin, Count Petofi etc. I remember watching those in 4th grade.

In the early 2000's, I went to one of the Dark Shadows conventions in New York City, That was really fun.

[lilactime]

48. Does the DVD set include the pre-Barnabas episodes?

I'd love to have the whole series on DVD because you never know when Amazon will yank shows. And it's made for binge watching.

I always wanted to go to one of those conventions! Did you get to meet any of the actors?

[FoxNewsSucks]

50. Yeah, it has all 1200

The box is shaped like a coffin, and when opened, there's a picture of Barnabas laying there printed on the spines of the disc boxes.

Lara Parker & Jonathan Frid were about the only living ones who weren't there. It may have been one of the best ones, and last ones, which I didn't know at the time. The original actors went on stage and did a reading of "return to collinwood". It was pretty cool. David Selby & Kathryn Leigh Scott were the most public, she autographed a poster of Barnabas & Josette.

I realized I haven't gotten any Dark Shadows mailings for a long time. Probably don't have conventions anymore, not many actors remain.

[bedazzled]

101. I could have gone in 1997 but i was pregnant

Should have gone anyway. Sigh.

[bedazzled]

109. U got a deal. Paid 289 for mine. Worth it tho

Remember the revival? Was all excited. Checked it out and hated it...

[cwydro]

59. Wow, that's on Prime?

Barnabus and the gang?

[lilactime]

61. Yes, the entire series, starting with Victoria Winters!

[cwydro]

63. Omg I was a kid in those days.

Thanks for this!

[lilactime]

65. You're welcome! Enjoy!

[marlakay]

70. Used to race home to watch that after school

It was on at 4pm. My parents wouldn’t let me watch it so I went to neighbors house. I was in high school.

[lilactime]

71. It was on at 4PM where I lived too. It started in the summer of 1966 and

I was hooked by the time I had to go back to school (9th grade). What really kills me is the end of these shows they often have the original voiceover promo for the show that came on next - Where The Action Is - and it makes me want to see that again sooooo badly.

[bedazzled]

102. We hijacked the thread and made it about ds!

And why not!

[lilactime]

107. We had our own DS superbowl LOL.

[bedazzled]

110. What an improvement

Hate football anytime

[lilactime]

112. Same here. Plus all other sports!

[crazycatlady]

20. Either working on new items for my store or walking

I'm in a Fitbit challenge this weekend that i want to win, so I need to step up.

I'm also at a slow time in work and am using the time to create new inventory for my Etsy store (that is literally on autopilot at busy times at work) that may or may not be listed this month.

[Hortensis]

21. Reading probably, or finally finishing painting the bookcase

waiting in the kitchen.

The most fun I ever had "at" football was a couple of tailgate parties in the parking lot of the Rosebowl. All women, and few of the passes we discussed involved pigskin.

[spinbaby]

22. Babysitting my grandson

He’s five and we’ll probably be watching The Incredibles if we watch anything at all.

[MineralMan]

23. Watching the commercials.

[Leith]

33. That's what I do, too

They're much more interesting than the game.

[hunter]

43. Someone usually posts the more interesting commercials here on DU via YouTube.

That's where I'll see them.

[brooklynite]

24. I have no interest in watching the Super Bowl...

...but neither do I feel the need to frame professional sports in an economic/political context. Sports leagues exist around the world because there's a market of people who want to watch their games.

[mantis49]

25. I'll be watching DVR'd Figure Skating Championships.

Much more interesting. Right now I have 10 shows in the queue. (Started with 14.) The US Championships and European Championships were televised Jan 23-25 on NBC-SN and NBC. I recorded them all!

Much more interesting!

[exboyfil]

26. Probably on with the sound off

I watch the plays and read between them. Sometimes I also exercise. I also have music on as well. I don't read anything deep. It is usually comics that display frame by frame on my tablet through Hoopla.

I like to multitask.

[sobenji]

27. Rooting against the Patriots

It seems like my new Super Bowl tradition is eating chili and rooting against the patriots.
Colts fans know what I mean.

[Aristus]

28. Going to the opera.

That's a pastime real Americans engage in...

[Thekaspervote]

29. Any activity, or non activity will be preferred

[Tarc]

30. Salsa and chips, cheese sticks, and chicken tenders, and roasted potatoes are on the menu

GO PATS!

[irisblue]

31. Puppy Bowl & Kitty Half Time Show

[obnoxiousdrunk]

32. Ratings for

the game could go down to 120 mil if we don't watch.

[UniteFightBack]

34. If you bet on the game you suddenly become more interested. nt

[Codeine]

36. Probably painting toy soldiers.

If I decide I can’t be bothered then I’ll be reading a book or playing Magic the Gathering with the girlchild.

[Vinca]

37. I despise football. We'll be watching a BBC mystery or cop video.

Just finished "Vera" series 8 last night so maybe tonight will be "Happy Valley." British actors are so much better than their American counterparts.

[Goodheart]

39. As a long time member of the Who Dat nation I'm boycotting this Asterisk Bowl.

[bigtree]

40. probably sleeping getting ready for work

...

[X_Digger]

44. huh?

I'm spending sunday in my shop for the most part.

I don't do sports, so I have no clue what's going on.

[shockey80]

45. I think it's going to be a great game.

I will be rooting for the Rams.

[scarytomcat]

46. going to the theater to see a musical

will NOT be checking my phone for the football score but enjoying the score

[yortsed snacilbuper]

47. What game?

[smirkymonkey]

49. PUPPY BOWL!!

http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/puppy-bowl-2019-time-date-tv-channel-live-stream-lineup-of-dogs/1qmchwa5rjjqw1017xdi18okuj

Pre-game show at 2pm, Puppy Bowl starts at 3pm. Later this evening will probably order out and watch a movie on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

?w=1000

[violetpastille]

51. What game?

[lapucelle]

55. ...

A designer shoe outlet in my county has a party every year with cocktails and hourly drawings for door prizes. It's a very popular event.

[Runningdawg]

52. Going to a friends house

Now one really cares about the game, but it's a good excuse to get together and eat

[stevil]

53. I am going to root for the Rams.

Even though I don't know where they are from. California will crush the Patriots!

[GoCubsGo]

54. Catching up on Netflix.

I think I may still have a few episodes of "Grace and Frankie" to catch up on.

[marlakay]

69. Same here we have only watched half

Of the new season, seems like a good time to finish it.

Husband likes football but hates the patriots with a passion, nothing to do with politics. Not into Rams either we wanted Saints to beat them last time.

I am Seahawks fan, hubby used to be Bronco fan until that game where they totally screwed up in Superbowl against mine.

[guillaumeb]

56. Eating pizza...

and watching the game.

[MaryMagdaline]

57. Watching movies. Will check score from time to time

[cwydro]

58. I'm at Dulles airport waiting for my flight to Ireland.

But a friend will keep me updated.

[fierywoman]

60. Teach young violinists and violists.

[KPN]

62. Watching the game. Go Pats ... though I hate

Robert Kraft’s love affair with the dotard. It gives me ambivalence, but not enough for me to cut the cord on a hometown sports team i’ve followed religiously since the 60s.

[WeekiWater]

64. I don't normally watch pro football.

But tonight I will be making an obscene hamburger and watching the game. I really don’t have much of a problem with the NFL outside of the fact that teams often end up being subsidized by the community and the gentrification that can occur from building stadiums. They at least talk about the gentrification aspect when choosing spots these days. Baseball is often worse in that area.

I hear the cool kids act like they aren’t even aware of a major sporting event that takes place every year. Other than to comment “what game” multiple times every year.

[aikoaiko]

66. Watching the game eating jalapeno poppers and chicken wings...

...with my son.

Good times.

[saidsimplesimon]

67. I am bringing

wings marinated in my concoction of spices and hot sauces for baking during the game. For me, the opportunity to chat with my family is more important than the game. My son in law is a big sports fan, my daughter and I are not.

[shanny]

68. something else

[Paladin]

72. Turner Classic Movies is a good alternative.

"Dr. Zhivago," "The Lion In Winter."

[redwitch]

103. That's what I did.

Two of my favorite movies.

[former9thward]

73. Watching it with friends and having fun.

[WillowTree]

74. Hulu has both the 1968 and 1999 versions of The Thomas Crown Affair right now.

Should make for a pleasant evening comparison.

[SMC22307]

75. Wrapping up "The Staircase" on Netflix.

I'm hooked.

[Iggo]

76. Watching the game. GO RAMS. (n/t)

[Goodheart]

80. You think the Rams brought their own refs again?

If so, I'm betting Rams.

[Iggo]

82. Don't even care.

It's just a game.

The team form my geographical area is in the big game, so YAY!

(Unless it's the Chargers, the Clippers, or the Angels. Eff those guys...lol.)

[redstatebluegirl]

77. Because of who is playing I'm doing what I do during the Republican Convention

watching Bulwinkle cartoons on dvd.

[Duppers]

78. Grocery shopping here too.

I like football but I don't give a hoot in hell about these two teams.

[Tree-Hugger]

79. Editing photos

....for a school yearbook while watching the game. Hoping to watch the patriots lose.

[JackInGreen]

81. Youtube

Monster hunter, Anthem demo.

[TygrBright]

83. We're going to a showing of "They Shall Never Grow Old". n/t

[Siwsan]

84. Clearing ice and snow off of the storm drains

We are in the low 50's, today, and having a major melt. After the big snow fall, I guess the plow guy needed to make a REALLY WIDE TURN on the road, in order to get a sufficient amount of snow to block my drive way. So he completely missed clearing the road, by the curb. So, the storm drains were about 90% blocked, causing a big problem at the end of my driveway.

That's a change from past years when he got that surfeit of snow and ice by plowing over my lawn.

[elleng]

85. The way we were,

Doctor Zhivago, Lion in Winter, Funny Girl, All the Kings Men.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

86. I'll be following the inevitable Superbowl thread in the DU lounge.

In preparation for the inevitable State of the Union thread in the DU lounge.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

87. I should find my DVD of Groundhog Day. I don't know where it is.

I think I have it on DVD.

I'll be eating well. I've got a stew going in a crockpot. I'm off to the store soon to get some ground beef.

[bedazzled]

104. My favorite movie

I always watch it on groundhog day

[Talitha]

88. Read, while listening to Jonn Serrie's music...

Right now I'm reading "Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles" by Margaret George, one of my favorite authors.

Books of hers that I've already read:
"The Memoirs of Cleopatra"
"Mary Called Magdalene"
"The Autobiography of Henry VIII"

Books of hers that are on my shelf, waiting to be read:
"Helen of Troy"
"The Confessions of Young Nero"
"Elizabeth I"

Have a great evening, everyone!!!

[DinahMoeHum]

89. Watching CSpan (on computer) and the now-recorded show. . .

. . .featuring sportswriter Dave Zirin of The Nation magazine, talking sports and politics for 3 hours.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?456868-1/depth-dave-zirin

There's also an interview he did last week with retired NE Pats player Martellus Bennett and his company The Imagination Agency that is well worth listening to.

https://soundcloud.com/edgeofsports/the-imagination-of-martellus-bennett

[Hoyt]

90. Either working or playing my mandola. TV will be on, and I'll watch

if it is still interesting we’ll into 2nd half. We do have some game watching, unhealthy, food.

[Doreen]

91. Cleaning and making lemon dill salmon fillets

and still trying to decide if I am going to make butter balls.

[AwakeAtLast]

92. I've been outside in the 65 degree sunshine

It was beautiful today!

Now, probably going to eat some dinner and watch something on Netflix.

[Baltimike]

94. I saw the anthem (HT Gladys Knight) and might watch the HT show, but feel deflated

about the Patriots.

Brady's a cheater.

[renate]

95. I just found a really cool YouTube channel called Veritasium

It’s great for people who love science. And he gives credit to people who have other YouTube science channels, so I’m learning about a whole bunch of interesting options.

[akraven]

96. LOL! I don't even know when it is!

Cooking baked chicken, butter beans, some (found fresh) greens, cornbread and a cherry pie, I guess.

My football heart is with college ball, not pro.

[Baltimike]

100. Watching a marathon of Dr. Pimple Popper, which I had never seen before

It was oddly satisfying.

[Codeine]

116. It freaks my kids out when I watch that.

Earwax removal is just as unexpectedly watchable.

[flibbitygiblets]

105. Don't even know who's playing, don't really care do u

I'll be visiting my elderly mother.

[Coventina]

114. Late to the party but: PUPPY BOWL!!!!!!!

[DashOneBravo]

117. Watched "The Mummy" and read
