1) Do not spill the bean dip. If you do, smear it on the couch near someone else and then blame them for having "bowel" issues.

2) Shut up if you're near the TV. Seriously, do not talk about how you can't believe the cost of gas is going up when it's 4th and 2 on the final drive in the 4th quarter.

3) Think of the food as a marathon. Chow down ‘til your heart's content, but not at the expense of missing out on the 2nd helping of hot wings and dessert. Same goes for the drinking, nobody wants someone throwing up in the living room at the same time as the big touchdown (plus odds of it making it to YouTube are pretty high).

4) Do not try to change the channel to see what's happening on Desperate Housewives or Undercover Boss. You will never be invited to another Super Bowl party again (and if it's your party, no one will show up again).

5) Wear the correct jersey. You may be a huge Patriots fan, but don't wear their jersey to the party when they're not playing, it will just make you look stupid.

6) Don't shh everyone during the commercials. Sure this somewhat contradicts # 2, but you don't need to take watching the commercials to a new extreme when there is just casual conversation going on.

7) Don't invite any Europeans that think football is soccer. You really don't want to spend 4 ½ hours explaining why they are not kicking the ball. Save that conversation for pre-season when nobody cares who wins or loses anyway.
