Have you ever decided to make popcorn but first thought, "hmm.. Why follow the instructions on the bag when I could dump the kernels into a non-descript brown paper bag *BEFORE* I microwave it?" I know, right? Me neither. However, if for whatever bizarre reason you had, odds are, the internet is the place for you.

However, If you can figure out a way to multi-task and get your 'sports' on with the rest of us, here's step one in a surprisingly non-technical guide to enjoying your Sunday:
