It’s Super Bowl weekend, so let’s get down to business. The game begins at 4:30 p.m. on FOX, so get your ass on the bus to Denver (for free with your BuffOne ID) and watch the Broncos beat up on the Seattle Seahawks. Do not drink and drive! Read that sentence over three times, click your heels, then take a rip off your bong. You will get a DUI and I won’t bail you out. Good talk.
