It just doesn’t have the right ring to it.
Anyway, in China, that’s what we celebrated, rooting for Green Bay, with festivities kicking off at 7 am Monday morning.
And yes, you can watch the SuperBowl in China. Well, sort of. There are many sites that streamline live sport events to the handful of Westerners in Asia. But, as soon as they pop up, they are shut down by Homeland Security, like this one. http://www.atdhe.net/
Gee, I’m glad my tax dollars are being spent thwarting football fans in China instead of hunting down terrorists or other national threats.
Anyway, there are a handful of Packer fans that teach at my school. Rumor had it there would be SuperBowl party, showing the streamlined game on a big screen in one of the classrooms.
The price of entry to the party was a breakfast item that didn’t contain dog meat.
You could wear pajamas if you’d like.
Well, not only did I make homemade banana muffins for the occasion, I scored a bag of Big Scoop Fritos, in China, the weekend before Superbowl Monday.
Yes, there is a God. Don’t ask me how much I paid for the ultimate white-trash, SuperBowl-Must-Have snack.
So I showed up at school on a day off—at 7 am—with my muffins and my extravagant bag of Fritos.
But just like the kid who treks to school on a snow day, I showed for the party and no one else was there! So I walked the long five minutes home (mild Kunming weather), crawled back into bed, and streamlined the game with Jeff, crossing our fingers that the feds wouldn’t close down the site before the last quarter.
Yes, we ate Fritos in bed. All of them.
And yes, it was fun.
So here’s to outsmarting homeland security.
