Description:
This event originated in the spell-checker of my friend's cell phone. He had entered "Super Bowl," but the phrase was auto-corrected to Superb Owl. When my friend reported this, I knew that a Superb Owl party was in my future. And now I wish to share this delight with others.
A Superb Owl party is expected to spend at least fifteen minutes in your living room, but it is permitted to continue, or to begin, in other places of your choosing. The Superb Owl, that fine-feathered object of admiration, is to be fêted in all ways that seem appropriate in the moment. Participants may practice the Silent Swoop or may learn owl calls on the Cornell Ornithology site; the Barred Owl is one of the more challenging.
The only forbidden activity is watching the television, EXCEPT for the kickoff of the Super Bowl and the five (5) minutes following. It is conventional in some households to include this as part of the party, but others feel this is an appalling breach of taste; you are expected to follow the lead of your host in this respect.
Much to the dismay of more devout practitioners, some Superb Owl celebrants actually never bring up the owl at all in their festivities, but are content to use the occasion as a random excuse for a party.
Participation in a Superb Owl party in the Era of Everyday Life fulfills the task Puns of the Navarone.
The time of the superb owl approaches!!
I personally am excited about the return of Glee, as well as honoring our feathery friends
