Election Challenge
Never a fan of the Superbowl, one year I noticed that a month had gone by and I still did not really know who had won the Superbowl, nor who the two teams were.
From then on, it became a personal contest to see how long I could go without knowing who had won the Superbowl.
One year I went an entire year - essentially never finding out.
Of course, this was pre-internet, and today you can simply be pumping gas and be bombarded by some kind of unwanted news from a tiny monitor. Just checking your email is dangerous.
This year, I am of course dreading election coverage. Just tell me who won tomorrow, thanks.
So I've decided to see how long I can go before I know who the next president is.
Of course, I may be tempted to watch the Colbert Report tonight, but......
