POP QUIZ ( Super Bowl Party)

                   Hot Wings here, cold beer there. 
                   Potato chips here, pretzels there.  Buffalo chicken dip here, Doritos there, Sausage pizza here, Chex mix there, Block cheese here, block pool there.  Cold beer everywhere.
                   Our Super Bowl party on Sunday will, as always, serve up practically anything a football fan, glutton or gambling man could want.  It'll offer everything from Supe to nuts.
                   Good food, good friends and a god game equal a great time.
                  What the evening will not have when the final gun sounds is an Eagles' victory, an achievement which has been as elusive as Gale Sayers in the open field.

                   (That's 13 Eagles head coaches, 863 Eagles regular season and playoff games, 11 U.S. presidents, U.S. population growth by more than a quarter-billion, and 18,654 days ago for those of you scoring at home.)
