I thought seriously about just trashing the recipe post when the first comment, and three of the first eight, were gripes and snark. Especially after I made a point of letting people know our party is about family, not football. But, I would really enjoy some fun and food recipes, and there are a few people left here who can enjoy these posts, and others who have the class not to ruin things if they aren’t in the mood.
This isn’t sarcasm here. Yes, I am mad. But apparently there is a need for a place to just blow off steam. I may actually do this second post every time I do any other post at all.
If you don’t like football, Taylor Swift, Kansas City or San Fran, or any other thing that puts a bee in your bonnet, here’s your place.
Blow off steam but keep it clean. This is not a place for you to bestow your nastiest vocabulary on us.
And please, consider letting the rest of us enjoy some normal.
I love Super Bowl parties.
I used to love super bowl parties.
Why ?
Sounds like you love Super Bowl parties that other people host at their expense and organization … ?
Why would you make that assumption from the one simple sentence he made? For all the heck you know, he might host an epic party of his own. WTH?
So the hosts should charge?!!!
Lighten up Francis!
We called them ‘Stupor Bowl’ parties on game day. Everyone had to take Monday off in advance so having to go to work was no excuse. That next day off became known as ‘Stupor Bowl Monday’ – a holiday known by a select few.
our hostess covered my gripes….

😀😀😀
Soccer is great to play as a kid but sucks to watch and is weak as a professional sport. Then again all professional sports are getting weaker/woker these days. Commercial breaks are like fingernails on chalkboard
Wait until that demonic succubus Taylor Swift and her fake boyfriend Mr. Pfizer Travis Cuck Kelsey start shilling for the pedo mummy Joe Biden…
Ya I’m surprised she won’t be doing a blood red satanic halftime show while Travis makes it rain with his pfizercide cash. First super bowl I may not watch since the 80s.
Definitely not going to watch it for the commercials which I’m sure will hit another new rock bottom reflecting what the left is doing to this country. Can’t wait
They already have
Rather than waiting perhaps choose to start praying for both of them right now? Btw thanks for reminding me to do so.
Weaken team sports and you weaken the pool of men willing to fight for their convictions and to do it successfully as part of a team.
Anything that strengthens real masculinity the deep state is intent on disbanding so as to guarantee their own relative weakness cannot be opposed by more disciplined and impressive force
Team sports socialize and discipline men…
And women sports did the same.
Now LGBT manages to destroy both the men, by emasculating them; and the women by demoralizing them with transgenders who destroy any chance for women to succeed
I knew the days of watching sports on TV was going to end when they played on Wide World of Sports no less, table tennis or as the Chinese say Ping Pong.
It was over no more having fun on a Saturday yelling and screaming at the Refs. “Turn out the lights the party is over”!
Jim McKay would be a vocal opponent of all of this
WWFL
…
Rigged
every game. billions at stake.
Bip!
It’s a shame you even have to post this.
529 c0mments and counting would indicate that you are in the minority. It’s funny if nothing else.
I think you misinterpreted DJP.
It is a shame that snark and vulgarity had to appear in response to a post that did not merit such response.
Would you not agree?
DJP was sympathetic to Menagerie.
FJB
that is highly insensitive. hahahaha.
“I don’t watch football and don’t know who Taylor Swift is, but he sounds fast” – a meme from the cloud
That’s funny. 🙂
Yeah, he’s a big tight end for the Kansas City chiefs.
The only “Taylor” that should be associated with football is the greatest linebacker who ever played, back when football was football…LT, LAWRENCE TAYLOR !!!!
Jack Lambert, Dick Butkus and Lee Roy Jordan all said “what?”
I HAVE AN IDEA which I’m sure others have had but this is actually original for me (i.e., I did not get it from someone else).
If you don’t want to have a Superbowl party then have a Superbowl boycott party! You can have the same great food and great cameraderie, and just watch something else. Like a bunch of Trump rallies and videos of the Antifa fascists getting beat down by the police. 🙂
Our local VW van group has a yearly “unsuperbowl” campout at the sunny and temperate Oregon coast every year. Loads of fun and What helped cement a tradition of not caring about the SB for a long, long time. I was always doing the van life
Thing before it was a hashtag.
Funny, when I was a kid, the SF 49-ers were my team. Later in my teens I somehow went to the Cowboys.
Menagerie, I do respect the tradition and the fest aspect of it. It’s just been so hard to put faith and energy in pro sports anymore. Even CFB took a wrong turn this past year with the commercialization and rule changes. The smoker is on my porch and I have used it 3x in 4 years. I need to initiate a new unsuperbowl style tradition and was intrigued at following your OP for ideas on smoking the meats. Gonna go back and give
It another try.
Love you and all that you contribute
CZ
Great idea.
Please post link for Antifa getting beat down by police. I’ll put it on loop and make batches of popcorn!
I’m looking for the 2016 rally footage of a cop using his baton to shove a fascist off of a wall that the fascist was trying to climb over. It was heart-warming. 🙂
great idea …but there are no videos of antifa getting beat down by the police, only Trump supporters getting beat down, set up shot and sent to prison on bull shit charges …but its still a great idea anyway!
It’s on YouTube, you just have to look harder for it. I’ll find some. While looking for one I mentioned above I found a video of a fascist climbing on top of a police car that was trying to pull away, and the cop sped up and the fascist went over the roof and fell onto the pavement. I doubt the fascist was hurt but the woman making the video shrieks like he was shot.
Fabulous idea!! LOL!
My church is having its annual spaghetti dinner after the morning service. So called “sports” are temporary while God’s Word is eternal.
I loved the Colts. The team did their early season practice near us. My parents were friendly with Johnnie Unitas. My wife’s folks were friendly with Art Donovan. Lost interest when Irsay moved the team for $. That was the end of a team’s relationship with the city they played for.
The COLTS stealth exit was legendary!
I hear there are some people who are still mad at the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn…
I hate bitch and gripe. I much prefer gripe then bitch.
“I didn’t come here for an argument….”
“Yes you did”
”No I didn’t”
”did too”…
“did not”…….
”what is your problem?”
“I don’t have a problem”
”yes you do”
”no I don’t”
The perfect “bitchy gripe”!!! LOL!
Mine is the sad animal commercial with the Sarah Mcglaughlin music…
They play it like 3 times in show and I th ink for all the money you spent
on this you could put it to use
helping the animals you are begging us to help.
Hey, try having a commercial with sad music about babies aborted and the horrors of THAT process.
Shocking how many of these animal rights people are cold blooded indifferent about murdered babies and rather than at least letting peo life have commercials of their own, they insist on those being banned
I love animals but their maudlin commercials make my blood boil now because I am a troublemaker for wanting to save babies, but they are brave and heroic for wanting to save animals
And besides that many of those groups get $$$ and euthanize animals in large numbers!
“Shocking how many of…”
Perhaps you might name them?
PETA, Humane Society and even locally I volunteered and was glared at when I expressed the sentiment that I thought protecting babies was as important, if not more so, than protecting animals.
Astounding to see the contempt for me.
Live a few decades and meet many people and you’ll be shocked.
And I cannot even begin to count the number of celebrities who are onboard with silencing any pro life. All we ask is for the right to show the same if not worse torture and the baby on screen responding to the agony. It’s only fair for those willing to inflict this indescribable pain of being ripped apart, to see it.
But the extreme self-importance and self-important adolescence that now possesses people, preventing them from progressing onto adulthood and teh ability to separate from the packs and peer pressuring clicks…well, look it up.
Not looking at an inhuman barbarity does not absolve anyone of responsibility for it.
And the saddest thing is that over 80% of abortions are forced on the mother and afterward she is not allowed to grieve openly or to talk about it.
#1 killer in the world. In the US alone we kill 1 million a year and in NYC 4 out of 5 black babies are aborted…and they want to talk about WHITE racism…this is ethnic cleansing done by misled sheeple to themselves.
Sad does not begin to describe it.
Pretty much any organization you see asking for money gets the money and turns out to use it fraudulently.
and when you shut down circuses? All the money that USED to go to care for retired circus animals.
Gone.
but the idiot protesters don’t care about that, all they want is to cancel all Americana tradition.
LOOK, LISTEN and find out for yourself, don’t cancel out voices because you don’t like the message.
Used to work with a woman who loved watching barbaric movies showing the last few moments of a person’s life and when they died, usually due to some type of accident.
Just hearing that there were such “movies” grieved my soul for days.
But tell this same woman who loved watching humans die that an animal was being hurt in any way and she’d break down and sob.
What?!
I asked her how she could reconcile crying for animals being hurt while chomping on a big bowl of popcorn watching people die.
Her answer; animals are innocent.
Yeah, right, whatever.
Those commercials bring in way more $$$ than the airtime costs, saving many dogs, cats, and other assorted animals.
Hah hah hah!!!
Keep telling yourself that and feel good about yourself by projecting upon me the guise of a hater or an idiot.
the problem is only a tiney tiny iddy bidy fraction of any money donated to these “save the animals” groups actualy goes to saving any animals, most of it goes to saving these organisation’s pension funds
Betting has taken over pro sports. What a reversal from the past!
It’s disgusting how betting odds and angles permeate so much media content on TV.
What used to be a mild diversion related to the stats and performances went from fantasy teams to hard core gambling.
And all the sports commissioners and owners are happy because it brings in more money.
At some point I expect a major scandal that puts the 1919 world series to shame. Pete Rose was banned as well. Paul Horning and Alec Karras in the NFL were suspended for a season. More recently a hockey player, Shane Pinto was suspended
Yet the hypocrisy now is mind boggling.
As well, every call by the refs in every sport can now be questioned considering the money involved.
It was one thing when betting was a personal choice. But far different when it is promoted by the leagues that actually play the games bet on.
Which is why my beloved Triple Crown sports suffers from the same activist infiltration
Some of the biggest betting goes on Derby, Preakness and the last race in New York.
And let us not overlook that the Superbowl is also famous for another industry: sex trafficking. Media tries to deny it, but it’s real.
I had a co-worker look up the betting odds on who will be NCAA Men’s Basketball All Americans first team this year just a few minutes ago. Guess I’m uninformed, but I had never thought of doing that. I wouldn’t put money on it anyway.
When a product offers you free for 3o days (like my security software
and can add onwhatever for 30 day free trial but they want you credit
card infomation to get it? NO
let me have the 30 days free then if I want it I will buy it…
not cancel anytime. Some online
newspapers do the same thing
In college I had a bumper sticker on my Honda Prelude that said “I love soccer.” The car got stolen, and stripped, fenders, seats, tires, bumpers, etc. but not the sign.
I love this site, I love all the comments, good, bad, indifferent about soccer and I, love soccer and couldn’t care less for ALL the so called american sports!
Cheers!
soccer is great to play but I’d rather watch paint dry.
Yes! A lot of people are whining about whiners. I also love soccer… but I don’t watch much.
Stopped watching not for long when all the kneeling crap started. Cut cable too. Saving dollars. Watch football highlights on utube. Never get tired of Bradshaw, Greene, Franco, Rocky, and the rest of the Immaculate Reception fellas.
I did that too. Cut cable 15 years ago, and the knee crap was too much for me too. My son loves Liverpool so, sometimes I still watch a game or two with him. The knee crap has stopped, however, I will not forget how the EPL joined forces with BLM.
I LOVED the satire spoofing the drama queens in soccer when they have injuries
Rugby rightfully shows the cissy aspect of soccer
Last player I respected was Pele.
Sending some love, not snarks. I love, love, love the recipe posts. I decided to save them all over this past Christmas (I even went back and downloaded and printed them from past holidays). Now I have an incredible menagerie of recipes that will keep me in creativity for the rest of my life – even if the internet goes down…
Some folks don’t even realize how they have been brainwashed into misery.
🙂
You GO Mary! I love this
I cannot stand these never ending ********** history months.
Every single history month is celebrated except Whitee month !!!!!!!! A Whitee month doesn’t even exist !!
Johnny Rivers is NOT in the rock n roll hall of fame – rigged voting
Neither is Foreigner or so many many others, but Dolly Parton is!
I love Dolly but this proves the inauthenticity of the R&R Hall of Fame
And Dolly, to her credit, did not think she belonged there either
That is because every month is supposed to be white APOLOGY month!..
Get with the program!
(And ignore that it is truly horrid whites who DESERVE contempt who push all this hate against whites in general
It is always about distraction, deflection and projection.
Look anywhere but at them, while they do all that they accuse others of doing)
I know exactly what it’s all about , my post was about getting a laugh . Whites are despised by the left and the person responsible for it getting so out of control is that murdering communist Kenyan POS.
No doubt in my mind he’s responsible for murdering his gay lovers from exposing him. He also took out his long time chef .
No, Obama doesn’t have the tenacity or the long term discipline to be the ringleader though you are absolutely correct that now that he is in tight with the globalists and deep state and of course the Clintons he has easy access to the contract killlers
Agree. Especially February since its my birthday month.
Just got here a few minutes ago, and after comparing the comment count on Menageries two topics, it appears that there are more folks that want to bitch and gripe, as opposed to eating some good chow! 😉
I care nothing for her or the team from San Fransicko, but I have always supported KC, because Rush worked there, even though I never met him or anyone from any of the teams there.
I like George Brett
My bitch and gripe is why isn’t there anything on any media news site about the truckers defending/ptotesting our border? Even most independent news sites aren’t covering it.
Legal Insurrection and Western Journal are covering it well.
Go there or fightingthecommies.com and share the articles.
Legal Insurrection is anti Trump, anti Treehouse, and has never, not once, discussed election theft.
Controlled. Owned.
Oh Barry, how you like the generalizations. I remember Rush haters did the same.
If you stick around and actually read them consistently they do, like American Thinker, have many articles that make sense. WE cannot boycott for unfortunate TDS and pro De Santis people that they let in when they have many sensible articles too. I groan at the anti Trump but I have been able to share a lot of thoughtful and well substantiated articles.
You are right that they shy away from election theft though I have in the past several months seen more directly pro Trump articles sneaking in.
However, CTH (Treehouse) , if that is all you read, is going to give you more than most everything else.
It is shown by how nearly every day now Conservative Angle’s daily compilation lists Sundance as a top headline to read.
But it’s also important to stomach the stuff that makes your stomach turn by reading the bilge, because some of the best offense is to turn their lies against them. Sundance is excellent at this and both eloquent and civil.
I like the recipes. I may not like them all, but there may be one or two that are worth the other 10 that I don’t like.
I am a Derby party gal. The only thing about the Super Bowl I ever liked were the commercials and those have been a bust the last several years.
I was a huge Taylor Swift fan when she was country and all of her closest friends now we’re bashing her and her music.
Now that Hollywood and woke have swallowed up the little lyricist from Nashville, originally from Pennsylvania, she is as nasty and vulgar toward former fans who are traditional as they are.
It is a real shame that a beautiful, talented, grateful and moral young woman embraced all things leftist, woke and satanic.
Still pray for her and hope lyrics from her earliest songs ((which were not actually ALL about boys who done her wrong, but instead were mature outlooks on some surprisingly deep philosophical topics) can get through to this very rich adolescent minded nitwit. If she could even be half as grounded as her 19 year old self I am sure the left and LGBT would dislike her as much as they do Trump, but I am certain she would not be the vapid, fake, ungrateful and contemptuous person she is now…and would be happier
2 years mingling with the 1% taught me they are far from having it all together.
Yes, it’s a shame. My family still plays “Never Grow Up” to all our grandkids. “Best Day” is another song that celebrates family and the simple things in life. I miss that Taylor.
I’m all out of bitches and gripes. My second glass of wine is making me awesome!
Love that last pic with the boy & the bull~!
Made me smile.
Hope ya get to feelin better, Menagerie~!
Don’t let the ogres get to ya. Just Don’t let them have that power.
😉
GOD Bless you & yours~!
( NOTE: Did not read thru all the comments, so if the same push to try to make you feel better is being repeated, look at it as a good thing. I’d bet we all wish ya well~! 🙂 )
So….like….who’s playing…? 🙂
Chiefs and 49ers…and I’m from the Bay Area but only learned this middle of last week.
😉
Here’s one that will not sit well with about half your guests. I love the stuff, so just more for me. Polarizing appetizers for a polarized society.
https://www.thespruceeats.com/rumaki-chicken-livers-with-bacon-3050656
i went from watching football every weekend to superbowl can kiss my azz
and their new pfizer boy toy and his GF (total psyop) can both go straight to hell !
ok i feel a little better now
I just love the picture. How can you not smile when you see this. God Bless You Menageie.
The only super bowl I care about is the one in my bathroom.
My simple philosophy, I will root for the 49ers to beat the Chiefs and put an end of this Taylor/Kelley nonsense.
If the Chiefs win, I will take the loos like a man and continue to to avoid all tabloid coverage of the duo.
This is not something to be upset about. Face it, do you really think he took those jabs from Phizer of was given placebo because of spokesman status. He’s spouting the Jab and hasn’t joined “Died Suddenly”.
As for Taylor, I’d reminder that the window is brief, look at Brittany and Madonna before her. Eventually time catches up tonus all & the Swifties become the Swaggies.
The Swifties are so vicious that I wonder if she even CAN turn around. I mean VICIOUS vicious.
When she, a then budding leftist, shared one of her father’s (a moderate conservative) jokes with them, they went after him so aggressively that he had to close all of his social media and get physical protection.
Saggies. There I FIFY.
Great post Menagerie….I appreciate ur honest/no pretending post. Enjoy the Super Bowl. Tuff 1 for me cause I like both teams. Still hv my thermo mug a friend bought me for Christmas one year, when Joe Namath was quarter back. Great mug still use it daily for coffee.
Blessings!
A good friend and I went Goose hunting one Sunday. We had a good bountiful day. As we were walking back to the truck enjoying the beautiful sunset, and memories of the day. My friend stopped, turned to me and said “Hey. Just think. We could be home watching the super bowl right now.”
We both burst out laughing.
Saw the title, this post may not qualify exactly. I was recalling the last Super Bowl Party I was at that had the half-time show on.
Background: my older son was in Catholic school, one class per grade level, all the boys and two of the girls in 2nd grade were on a baseball team together since kindergarten, close bonds that remain to this day. We were all at one family’s house for a BBQ (and bounce house for the kids), awesome time for clean fun.
Then came half time, and the kids came back in to watch the entertainment. Happened to be Janet Jackson that year… And one of the priests had shown up for the meal by that time, and was getting ready to say grace.
One of the kids and his wife had his new baby baptized last weekend. Apparently, the prayers are more long-lasting than the entertainment! Don’t forget to be thankful for God’s blessings while enjoying your day!
Not a fan of the Grammy’s and thank God for the ability to see segments without having to watch it at all. So with that said; I freaking loved that Tracy Chapman showed up to sing Fast Car with Luke Combs. Put those libtards in their place, well at least for the duration of their performance.
You know who I did feel sorry for? The poor sod that got stuck sitting behind Taylor Soros and her poofy dress. Did she stand and sing every song?!? Seriously Tay Tay, it wasn’t the NFL where your every move is watched by a bevy of cameras. You were in a room surrounded by your own egotistical cohorts so kindly set your ass down so those behind you could enjoy the show as well.
Wow, that felt good!
Go Chiefs
Moderated, is that French for tossed out on the ear?
Iuse to watch football every Sunday and loved a good game on thanksgiving day but racism wokeness and just plain unpatriotic players have pushed me away just like these people did to nascar fans and fans of other sports and with the NHL giving the stage to a terrorist sympathizer to sing our national Anthem its starting to look like watching the grass grow
will be the only “sport” left to pass the time
Well, what ever floats your boat….football, hockey…baseball (I am a Cubs Fan currently trying to follow the 12 steps of Cubs Addiction).
At the end of the day…I much prefer a “Derby Party”. As in Kentucky Derby. For those who plan ahead:
https://derbyexperiences.com/kentucky-derby-parties
NFL and SB have turned into nothing but a PR mode for vaxes, Chiefs, Taylor, Kelce mania.
I’ve hope EVERY wk Chiefs lose to DESTROY this stet up.
Of course, Taylor RELEASES an album wk of SB…..no conflict or surprise there.
The FOCUS will be on whatever box she’s in…and of course, vaxes…
It’s amazing how gullible and easy Americans are lead down the road of where ever the politicans or the govt desire them to go….
I once again love the Super Bowl, because the team I grew up with – the Kansas City Chiefs – have been a frequent participant over the last 6 years. So, sue me. They, and the whomever they are playing that week, are the only two teams I watch of the NFL anymore. Tired of Swift and the Swifties, and a whole lot of other things about the NFL. Yet, I waited 50 years to see this rise in KC Chiefs football dominance and I will enjoy it while it lasts.
And then, I will probably be done with the NFL.
None of the above is worth spending an iota of effort to blow off steam about.
Craft beer and box scores…
Bread and circus…
Wokism….enough already!
I dont care what color you are, what sex you are (even if you want to self mutilate, and yes, I think that is extreme, but have at it if you are a mature rational adult and YOU can afford it), or, what you do consensually behind closed doors.
From MLK, its the strength of your character, and subsequently, your contribution to the betterment of ALL that matters to me, not your personal issues. Leave them at home.
Next, I’ve heard it so often, when I hear “racism” I now associate it as an excuse for personal failure (good example: Fani Willis). Just show up for work everyday, on time, work your ass off, accept and learn from your failures, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on! I know there are still racists still out there, but if it is that bad you have the law to protect and help you, as well as 98% of corporate America.
As Dennis Miller once said (I paraphrase), “I have no problem helping the ‘helpless’, but not the ‘clueless'”.
And I dont want wokism rammed down my throat everytime I turn on TV! Give me a normal population distribution of race, interracial couples and gays in commercials. If you dropped in from another planet and turned on TV, you’d think 1/3 the country were black, 1/3 were interracial couples and 1/3 were gay.
And LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE!!!
I won’t even get into illegals/the border….there aren’t enough words.
So there….
Not sure if that is what you had in mind, but thanks SD, I feel better. And I’ll try to behave now.
If everyone viewed all pro sports like I do, they would all be bankrupt within a year, ESPN would be dead, and the majority of the athletes would be struggling to stay out of addiction and jail. Communist China would lose their greatest allies and apologists. I guess part of it could be that before I left CA behind the 9’ers won 5 Super Bowl rings in 15 years and the Giants won 3 World Series in five years.
I didn’t see the original post with the gripes and snark. There’s a saying “if you don’t have something positive to say, don’t say anything”, but it seems fewer and fewer people are aware of it; just like with the golden rule.
For some people on the right, it’s like virtue signaling to say they hate the NFL and all other professional sports these days. I admit I don’t like the Chiefs, Taylor Swift or the 49ers, but I do still enjoy football. I wish it was Bills vs. Lions, but that’s life.
I’ve been a NY Giants fan for close to 40 years and our long time QB, Eli Manning, never kneeled during the anthem, nor did any other player that mattered. Eli’s never done anything to piss me off. Just the opposite. I wouldn’t doubt he and the current QB and maybe the owner, are on our side.
Why should I boycott a game I enjoy because a handful of libtardish idiots on other teams kneeled during the anthem 5-8 years ago? I won’t be watching the “black anthem” and probably won’t be watching the game itself very closely, but I will be cooking something and enjoying time with my family.
God bless you Sundance. Enjoy your SB party.
Well….you think it’s a better game today? Or, like me as a masochistic Redskins fan, you long for the Giants, Skins, Cowboys, Iggles battles of the 80s? i.e., absent most of the rules changes.
Otherwise, I agree with your sentiment. There have to be outlets – even if they have become corrupted like the NFL, NBA and professional golf by wokeism, political correctness and money at the expense of all else.
Thank you and God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
My gripe is with elon musk, I want to hear more about progress toward ‘boots on the ground’ on mars. Technology’s there, how many decades ’til they stop talking and start loading out and boosting for mars.
It will be a very long time. The technology does not exist yet to shield the astronauts from radiation for a year to get them to Mars alive, much less survive on the Planet for any length of time, That’s why NASA just sends robotic rovers there. Just like practical electric cars the battery technology just isn’t there yet.
Amen

And yet….the gov’t basically seized my equity rights to one of the Russian companies that produces the rerouted oil products.
The…excuse me…lying bastages!
