This is the weekend we traditionally refer to as Super Bore Sunday. This year, however, promises to be more entertaining as we all face the very real possibility of freezing to death. In honor of fortitude we’ll need to get through this, the Weekend Desk humbly presents:
The Literal Super Bore Sunday Survival Guide, Literally
- DO NOT get in your car or truck. And whatever some idiot tells you, DO NOT get on your bike.
- DO NOT open your mouth or attempt to shut anyone else’s.
- DEFINITELY watch the Australian Open Men’s Final. In Australia. And while we’re on the subject, DON’T get on a bike there either.
- DO consume plenty of red, hot, spicy foods. DO NOT consume any Bruno Mars.
- DO NOT go to the Super Bowl. Even a paltry $1,500 buys a lot of firewood, friends.
