Help! My parents invited themselves over for the superbowl...
I need excuses so I can get rid of them! They'll ruin all the hardcore partying I'm planning on doing.

1. Imagine them away.
In your case, I guarantee it will work.

3. Put on your magic ring and disappear. :)
Oh wait. That belonged to your 8th cousin twenty times removed, didn't it?

4. Dose 'em.
Then, when you've got 'em good and acided up, they can help you with your Super Bowl blood-scrifice rituals.

Ave Satanas.

10. Hell! I bet you could get mom and dad to melt
by getting a job. No acid required.

I was gonna suggest that you tell them everyone is bringing a bottle of fine aged spirits and an ounce of Killer green

6. tell 'em the tv's broken

Personally, I have it easy. I don't watch sports so no one comes to my house to watch the superbowl.

8. Now is the time to contract a horrible intestinal virus
call them up and tell them the details, but that the throwing up and diarrhea have pretty much stopped. The magic words: "I don't think I'm still contagious."

Mentioning that your home has taken on the charming decor of a superfund site during your illness couldn't hurt either, but tell that to your Dad. A Mom would probably want to come over and clean up.

9. Try not to remember this,years down the road when they are both gone
It might not seem like it now, but there will come a time when they are long gone, when you would do anything to be able to spend a super bowl afternoon with them..

on a lighter side..

Invite a few other "oldies" that they like, and make a multi-age level occasion of it.
