New Chair for Super Bowl?
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008
Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner. Have you purchased your new television and armchair yet? According to a U.S. survey, football fans plan to purchase 3.9 million TV sets for the Big Game and 1.8 million pieces of furniture.
Now I realize that Super Bowl is a bigger deal south of the border, however, I did find a flyer in my mailbox today promising to deliver “your new couch and flat screen in time for Sunday”. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a piece of furniture especially for a particular event. Clothing, yes. Food and beverages, yes. Decorations, yes. But an expensive piece of furniture? No. Is this a male/female thing? Or maybe it’s more about acquiring said expensive piece and using the Big Game as a “reason” (read: “excuse”).
Have you done this, not necessarily for Super Bowl, but for some other event? Do you know someone who has? Leave your story or opinion in the Comments/Reply section below. Today’s bonus code is ARMCHAIR. It will score you a Jack Nation touchdown until midnight on January 30th.
