Some people's parties were messy!

Although this sounds like a messy situation in the first place, I can't help but adore it. The warm cheese would obviously be a better place to sit than any of the 25 warm laps in the room (when you're using cat logic, of course). Someone would've had to immediately pick up kitty and give her a very thorough wash to de-cheese her! You could easily miss a quarter or half of the game this way! I hope someone took pictures of the entire cheese incident, from it's cheesy, messy start, to it's angy, soggy cat finale. The only upside here is that from now til the end of time, everyone at the party will spend every subsequent Super Bowl joking, “Watch out, don't let Fluffy get into the cheese dip again!” before howling with laughter. As for kitty… she will certainly get put into a bedroom for every future party for this bad, bad behavior.

In the streaming era, watching the big game has never proven more of a challenge! I wrote about this last year, after several futile attempts to watch various big events on streaming services that just weren't prepared for the influx of viewers.
Sure enough, as I tried to watch this year (thankfully just for myself, not for a party of people anxiously waiting for the game to turn on) I got stuck in a log-in loop that I couldn't break free of. Sad! You know the kind: you scan the TV QR code, log in on your phone, and your phone happily tells you that you're logged in. But nothing has changed on your TV. So you do this like 10 more times before getting so irritated that you just watch the latest Ryan Murphy TV show instead and scroll the highlights later on Twitter. Sheesh. They never make this easy for the viewers, do they?

Ah, yes. The wacky guests. Can't live with ‘em, can’t live without 'em, but also… they might get quietly, “accidentally” forgotten from next year's party invites. Oops! So sorry! (Not.)
