How many of you are doing something else tomorrow instead of watching?
maybe some Skyrim for me.

I don't think I would want to watch the super bowel :uhoh

I don't think I would want to watch the super bowel :uhoh
:rofl 1st thing I thought
I am going to watch it, I think the Giants will win
-
More than likely i'll be doing something fun instead.
-
I'm skipping it this year.
-
got my bets on Big Blue, NE is over rated. I may or may not watch it.. depends what friends and family are doing... and not watching it would require spending money doing something or sittin on my computer, niether of which sound all that appetising :bhead
-
I'm definitely doing something else. I can't stand either team. I wish they could both lose :banana:
-
dvr it and watch the commercials :banana:
-
Hell even the halftime shows have started to suck again. Last year sucked BAD and I'm not expecting Madonna to be any better. We just need another wardrobe malfunction to get em back on track.

I'm going out for beer and chicken wings, don't really care who wins - but its the end of sports till baseball season rolls around.

I just wanted to point out the parts of your post that would leave all of America scarred for life and likely lead to mass suicide.
20-30 years ago, yes. Madonna and Wardrobe malfuction would have been entertaining. (Although her videos were pretty much wardrobe malfunctions, that was the point of them)
Nowadays?
Are you crazy?
-
My point was that after the wardrobe malfunction, good bands played the halftime show. Madonna having a malfunction now? :huh I completely agree with you lol.
-
dvr it and watch the commercials :banana:

Know what one gets from a super bowel, a super turd.

Do not insult America's most precious holiday.

Is someone feeling a little self-conscious that they sucked at sports as a child?
-
Screw football.
FSX is where it's at. :rock

Is that the SUPER BOWL?

I haven't watched any football game in probably 15 years.
It's almost as boring to watch as NASCAR... or golf.
My memory of it is very, very brief spurts of action, interspersed into hours and hours of mind-numbing boredom with players standing around in huddles, players spending forever getting into set formations only to call a timeout, referees watching TV screens blowing whistles and throwing yellow hankies every 2 minutes, endless timeouts, and John Madden babbling incoherently while he scribbles on my TV screen during a bajillion replays. I seem to recall that in a typical 3 hour football game there is only like 5 minutes of actual football being played.
I contend that most Super Bowl fans aren't really fans of the sport, it's just an excuse for them to go to a party and stuff their face with delicious junk food.
I'll stick to watching rugby, it's kind of like football only better in every way. No "special" teams, no separate teams for offense and defense, no stopping for 1 minute after every play to reset and catch your breath, far fewer silly rules that stop play constantly, fewer timeouts to constantly stop play... it's so much simpler, they just go out and play without all the BS.
-
I dislike football, especially on television. You watch the whole stupid game three times during that broadcast.
I'll probably play some Aces High.
-
Super Bowel? I'm staying away from that bathroom :aok
What's next? Toilet Bowl?
:cheers: Oz
-
I'll be ski racing and then beer afterwards.
-
I live near Boston, so I'm just getting ready for the drunken riots that I know will happen regardless of the outcome of the match.

Us Canadians want to know exactly what state "New England" is anyhow? Is it even a state, or is it a city or wtf? See, a real team can say where it is from. Example, the Bears. They are from Chicago, which is a city, and you can find the stadium for said team by going to said city. This New England business is darn confusing to outsiders. Is it part of that Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur et al? And what is a "commonwealth" doing in the good ol' U S of A? Commonwealth is a British term and idea, and we all know how much you can't have anything like that anyplace NEAR the American way.
Anyhow, go Giants!

New England is a region, usually defined as the combined areas of Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Match? What are they playing Cricket? What do you have to get ready for, are the drunks going to riot in your room?

I understand playing sports; it is fun and it can keep you in shape.
I do not understand watching professional sports, it doesn't matter if you wear your team's store bought jersey; the league doesn't care about you, neither do the owners. Those two groups are the only ones that truly win when the teams play.

Same. I can play football, but everything moves too fast in NFL/CFL :D
-
I enjoy NFL, but I could never watch an entire game live
it took me like 3 sittings over separate days to watch 1 match on YouTube that had all of the commercials and extraneous replays/BS cut out
no wonder Americans tend to be so disgustingly fat, all that boredom eating while spending 4 hours watching other people do exercise :old:
-
Wow Coombz, bet you'd be REAL popular over here with that attitude.
-
the truth rarely makes one popular, especially with Americans ;)
to be completely fair, everytime I have vacationed in the US I have loved it, and the people have mostly been great
-
I watch NFL football because to me it's entertaining, and brings my family together. Everyone likes different things, and has different reasons to like said things. :aok

Eh, Football is okay to watch. But I'll agree it gets pretty boring sometimes. The game itself only lasts about 20 minutes or so. It's the half-time show, the commercials, the endless commentary... that's why I don't like watching football on TV. Watching the game in person is alot better because you don't have to listen to all the garbage.
But even though I was never really a big sports fan it's nice to be able to watch a game while at work... unless it's soccer. I hate soccer. Not the players, or the game, or the refs, or the hillarious faking of injuries... but the vuvuzelas. Almost every soccer game has this unceasing droning caused by those evil things that resonates in my right ear and drives me :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead I almost want to throw something through the TV at work when a soccer game comes on.
:old: And we American's are fat 'cause we eat too many carbs... go Protein! :banana: :bolt:

We all know what the national pasttime in New Zealand is

But I'm training hard!

Why do you take it on yourself to bash Americans as much as you can?

Coombz come over here again and say that in person braveheart. Bet we wont be so nice. No fatties in NZ? We're not all fat numbnutz.

to answer less evasively, there are a LOT of things I like about America and Americans. But there are also characteristics that really piss me off in people in general, no matter what race they are. Blind patriotism, hypocrisy, racism/xenophobia, superiority complex etc. It just so happens that traits like those seem to be more common than usual in the American populace ;) you guys tend to be indoctrinated from an early age that America is the greatest country in the world, has never done any wrong, and every other country is jealous of you.
I actually do most of my trolling (and making friends :) ) with Yanks on another predominately American forum, where the general intelligence level is a lot higher and the ratio of redneck to rational person is a lot lower. So, when I come to the AH forums I vent my spleen a bit because I know it's really easy to get a reaction from all these mostly older guys, often ex-military...prime targets for some anti-American trolling.
It doesn't help that, having just moved to NZ I don't have my gaming PC or flight sim gear, so I'm bloody bored :devil It's a bad habit, but one that I find hard to break.

classic example =D drunk and angry internet toughguy. sorry your team lost the Super Bowl mate, and I'm also sorry that you and your countrymen are known and easily identified all the world over for being loud, obnoxious, ignorant (and don't forget fat) whenever they travel abroad (which rarely happens!)
:aok

Not drunk nor angry. You sir are rude and insulting, and for what reason? Who is the internet tough guy here?

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,328402.msg4300322.html#msg4300322 :rofl yeah OK
So you watched the game without drinking, and put a hole in your wall because you were sober and not at all mad. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
Who is the internet tough guy here?
Umm, the guy saying 'Come over here and say that!' to someone on an online messageboard? :)

Your post proves that you can be a "loud, ignorant, obnoxious (and don't forget fat) Brit whenever you travel abroad or relocate. Seems like you're a hypocrite as well. I've been to a few countries, embrace their cultures and never had a problem.
Admittance to your trolling, likens you more to a ponce.

So coombzy why dont you post your picture and I'll post mine. Then we can get rid of the anonymity.
-
No Im not drunk...I have anger issues when it comes to football. Im an honest hard working man who is trying to get through life, and when some twink comes along that for some reason thinks he's superior to everyone else, I call him on it. Go back to your bum and tinkle show forums and leave the attitude there.

I'm not sure what relevance it has or what it'd prove, but I'm happy to if you don't mind waiting 20 mins or so, on my phone atm not laptop and just about to give my little boy his bath :x
Masherbrum I'm happy for you, but you seem to suffer the ultra patriotism thing I mentioned as I certainly wasn't attacking you, or all Americans by any means :)

I certainly didn't mean to give that impression! In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
However, if I started listing all of the things I suck at, we'd be here all night. Although I suppose it might make you feel a bit better, but that's not my problem now is it?

Tupac, here are a couple pics of me from last year, I hope they make you feel better/superior/whatever result you were looking for. Don't bother posting yours because I don't need or care to see it :) However, if you could give me any tips on the board game Risk in return, I'd be pretty grateful. The neighbours are coming over in just over 5 minutes to play with a bunch of us and I have never played it before! :uhoh

My point wasn't to make anyone feel superior, my point was to prove this board isn't full of stereotypes (because it's not)
Cute kid btw

Tip with risk take Australia early and turn it into a fortress.
Damn Brits always giving Americans hell. By the way Americans travel abroad plenty, more than you would think, we just say we are from Canada.
-
Thanks Sukov, I had heard the same thing about Australasia from Eddie Izzard :D
Thanks Tupac, believe me he's even more cute now he's older!
the Risk rules seem damn complicated! Maybe I'll update once it's over.

I suffer from nothing, but your hypocrisy needed to be pointed out. I am sorry that your only retort was the "ultra-patriotism" thing.

I'm from the US, and I see this country as the tallest of the dwarves, so to speak. If there were another, better country (maybe Canada, Australia, or New Zealand?) I'd move there. However, with Europe's economy in shambles, Central and South America being overrun by drug lords, Africa having little development to speak of, China's lack of freedom, and Japan's soaring debt, I think I'm in a pretty good place right now. Does that make me a patriot? Not any more than a tenant liking his/her apartment makes him/her an 'apartamentriot'. I've traveled quite a bit in my 15 years, and apart from some general American jokes (I'm not Mr. Popular anywhere) the Poles, Germans, Russians, French, and I have gotten along very well. It's all a matter of respect and self-awareness. Once you're 'in country' for a few weeks, you'll be well adapted.
The only reason that I can see for US citizens to be seen as 'annoying', though, is that tourists in general are viewed that way, and since for a long time US citizens had more money to travel, they made up a good chunk of tourists. However, xenophobia is also present in Europe, just look at how they treat Arab immigrants! Obesity, on the other hand, is present to a greater degree in the US due to cheap carbohydrates. Every country has its own good and bad points, and finding the right one is just like finding a good spouse- it can take a while but the search is well worth it.

You know Penguin, open borders work both ways. If you're unhappy as one of the "dwarves", vote with your feet.
I'm sure whoever gets you would be overjoyed.
-
I never said that I was unhappy with living here, I said that I'll live wherever I'm happiest, and that is a very complicated decision involving mortgages, jobs, family, etc. I am not seriously considering moving away at this time only because I need a clearer picture of what the countries that I mentioned have to offer. If I can't find a better place, then I'll stay here and try to live well. That isn't to suggest that America is a bad place, I just mean that I wouldn't stay here if moving to a better place were worth the cost. I'll agree that the dwarf analogy wasn't the best, though.

He's referring to the subset of the US population that is moronic, and he believes that the US has of the highest idiots per capita ratios in the world. Whether this is the case, I don't know.
