Just tell them that you don't practice Satanism, thank them for the invitation, and watch the Niners win the 6th ring, profits.

This is San Francisco 49ers in the Super Fucking Bowl we're talking about it. Cult ceremony can take a back seat.

Good job OP telling the females to represent, while you can the boy stay home to root for the Niners to win their 6th title!

I am going to the "cult ceremony". I am skipping the party.

Send the kid a couple books on logic, reason, and science. She'll anounce she's an atheist, refuse to cotton to this witch doctor claptrap, and you can invite the family over to watch the Super Bowl.

LOL - My dad got two tickets to the Super Bowl (My family has been 49ers season ticket holders since 1946).

No, I am not going. I hope he sells them and makes a ton of money.

Seniority must have something to do with it. I've only been a STH for about 5 years now. Was impossible to afford them while still in school.

If we are down by 28, maybe they go for early 2-point conversions - It worked against the Giants in 2002/3.

Remember, you don't get the luxury of playing the Falcons two games in a row, not every team likes to blow huge leads like they do.

super bowls happen every year. bat mitzvah's don't. seems like an easy choice to me.

Super Bowls with your favorite, lifelong team don't happen every year. Or every decade. Or every lifetime (Viking fan here :().

Simple, don't go. Their fault for scheduling it on Super Bowl Sunday. It shouldn't matter who's playing, you just don't schedule stuff on that day.

Agreed. This is like people who schedule their wedding over a holiday weekend. Thanks for the invitation I guess but don't expect everyone to be able to make it, some people already have advance plans for those.

Ironically, my wedding was on the Saturday night of Thanksgiving weekend. However, all of our out-of-town guests appreciated coming to such a large Thanksgiving dinner (And one they did not have to cook).

WTF. Scheduling anything on Super Bowl Sunday that isnt a SB Party is grounds for immediate dismissal as friends/relatives/acquaintances/etc.

Skip the party, dont feel bad, enjoy watching your 9ers go down in flames. :)
