Other Things To Do On Super Bowl Sunday
Just in case you are the only person in the world who doesn't like football you might want to do something else. 45 Other Things to Do on Super Bowl Sunday
By Mikey Rox
1. Bake a Milky Way BundtGotta love a good Bundt. But this Milky Way Bundt recipe, courtesy of Cooks.com, takes the cake. (See also: Dump Cake and Other Sweet, Easy Treats)
2. Challenge a Facebook Friend to a Game of ScrabbleJust make sure you find someone who’s committed to finishing a game in one sitting. It’s annoying when it spans several seasons.
3. Rearrange Your BedroomPosition the bed in front of the mirror.
4. Update Your ContactsI’m notorious for getting drunk, making new friends and naming them in my phone after the establishment in which we met. For example, Frank Hooters or Mandi IHOP. The next day I have no idea who they are, and I never speak to them again. Time to downsize.
5. Write a Letter to Your CongresspersonSurely there’s something you need to get off your chest. I still can’t legally marry in most states. That’s a start.
6. Catch Up on Your DVRMy DVR is loaded with episodes of “The Graham Norton Show,” “Skins,” “Being Human,” and “Smurfs’ Adventures.” What do you have waiting for you?
7. E-file Your TaxesGet ahead of the game — and get your refund faster — by filing your taxes online. Easy-breezy.
8. DustIt’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. Yep, even you.
9. Go SleddingWhat good is all this snow if you don’t make proper use of it? There has to be a hill close by that’s calling your name. Like Big Bear, Idyllwild, and Mammoth Mountain. All in California.
10. Clean Out Your ClosetMake a charitable contribution — to your local church or your least favorite friend — while making room for new spring additions.
11. Make a Handmade Valentine for Your SweetieMine will be an interpretation of one of these prints by Gaping Void. She’ll return the gift in kisses.
12. Sanitize the RefrigeratorAnd while you’re at it, throw out anything more than one month past its expiration date. You don’t want to start the next global pandemic, do you?
13. Film Your Own CommercialThe sky is the limit, but this amateur submission is pretty darn funny.
14. Learn How to Play Texas Hold ’EmA good way to earn some extra cash — if you know how to play better than your unsuspecting friends.
15. Memorize the Budweiser PledgeOne of my fraternity brothers could recite this verbatim. I always thought it was kinda neat. One of those idiot savant qualities that you can’t help but envy.
16. Scrub the TubIt’s not supposed to have a ring around it. Neither should the toilet, for that matter.
17. Make Decoupage MagnetsI picked up the necessary items to make these magnets at my local craft store for under $4. A lot of times Michael’s has a 40% off one item coupon in the weekly circular, and you can save even more money by cutting pictures out of magazines (or old photos!) instead of buying scrapbooking paper like the post suggests. You don’t need a circle cutter or a cutting mat, either. Regular scissors work just as well.
18. Read the Book "No Return Address!"By James Hauenstein. Sold at many of the online eBook stores. I’ve heard and read so many excellent reviews on this. I can’t wait to dive in.
19. Sign up for RentAFriend.comI did. You can read all about it right here.
20. Embark on a Local Road TripYou don’t have to go far — or spend a bundle — to see new sights and enjoy exciting experiences. Hop in the car and take a drive.
21. Take Down the Christmas DecorationsSeriously. It’s almost Valentine’s Day.
22. Call GrandmaFull disclosure: Mine called me at the end of December, and I still haven’t returned her call. I think it’s time to take my own advice
23. Create a Five-Year PlanIf you make a formal plan, you’re more likely to achieve your goals. But you don’t have to believe me. Wise Bread writer Janey Osterlind details how in this article.
24. Hold a SéanceYou’ll need a Ouija board, a few candles, and an open mind. Extra points for authenticity if you can convince your friends that the poltergeist living in your basement is showing you “signs.”
25. Build an IglooA few geniuses in Slovenia charge people to stay in theirs. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
26. Learn SpanglishThis really depends on how ambitious you are. I would start with the bad words.
27. Alphabetize Anything That Has a TitleThere’s just something about books and movies filed from A to Z that soothes the soul. At least for someone with OCD, like me.
28. Roll Loose ChangeEverybody has a change jar. It may not look very promising, but I bet there’s at least $30 in yours. That’s enough for groceries, a partial tank of gas, or a movie with concessions. Your call.
29. Take Up KnittingThe possibilities are endless. You can make scarves, sweaters, potholders and lots of other things that old people will like. Learn knitting basics with this video.
30. Feed the HomelessNot everybody cares about the Big Game. Some people are just tryin’ to stay alive.
31. Study the Science of MixologyAnyone who can make a cucumber cocktail is OK with me.
32. Give Yourself a Mani-PediYou’ll save cash — and your woman will thank you for clipping those claws.
33. Discover ChatrouletteYou’ve heard the stories. Now experience the eye-bleaching action firsthand. If you like that kind of thing. I mean "Social Networking." It hasn't been this much fun since My Space.
34. Put Your Gym Membership to UseTrust me, there will definitely be an elliptical machine available this time. No excuses.
35. Make Reservations at a Fancy Hot SpotCan’t ever snag a table at that uppity new restaurant? Tonight’s the night!
36. Host a Pre-Oscars Viewing PartyRent two of the Best Picture contenders and pretend like you’re part of the Academy. Before the show begins, critique each other’s outfits.
37. Practice the Art of Cake DecoratingOne of my aunts recently took a class and I was impressed. She’s no Duff Goldman — yet — but for a novice she really knocked my socks off. You can do it the DIY way by picking up a decorating kit.
38. Go Mock ShoppingWhen I was bored and broke in college, I would head to the town Walmart and stuff my cart full of fancy items. Fancy for Walmart in 2001, at least. When I had everything I needed, I would abandon the cart at the end of a dark aisle for an unsuspecting employee to find and curse me for later. It was strangely satisfying.
39. Get a TattooJust don’t use Gucci Mane for inspiration.
40. Volunteer to Be a Designated DriverChances are all your friends will be blacked out by the time the game is over. Be a hero. Save some lives.
41. Replace the Photos in Your FramesPeople are doing this less and less as time goes on, because many of us put them online for the world to see instead of printing them out to enjoy at home. That's the downside to digital cameras, and it means that our hard-copy pics are out of date. Give your frames a facelift by ordering prints from Kodak Gallery, which offers 50 free to new customers. That’s enough to share.
42. Clean Out Your CarryallGod only knows what you've got in there. All you really need are these nine items.
43. ManscapeAlthough if you're opposed to watching the Super Bowl, common sense says that you're already groomed better than a prize-winning poodle.
44. Attend a Church ServiceIt's long overdue. Plus, free wine!
45. Learn to Like the Super BowlIf you don't, nobody will hang out with you. I'm living proof.
This is,Not Me,Because I Am Going To Watch The Big Game,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“The easiest way to remember your future wife’s birthday is to marry her on Super Bowl Sunday.”

I have my own problems!
