Seven layers of Superbowl scrumptiousness

I don't really watch (read: understand) football, but somehow Superbowl Sunday never fails to ignite a spark of excitement each year.  I think it has something to do with the surrounding culture - beer, comfort food, and a rockin' halftime show.  I'll be cheering Bruce on with a bottle of Smithwick's (not very American, I guess, but a delicious new discovery of mine nonetheless) and digging into a veggie version of 7-layer nacho dip.  Goes a little somethin' like this ...

One layer each of the following (in whatever order you please):
- Refried beans
- Sour cream (can be substituted for a layer of nacho cheese)
- Salsa
- Guacamole
- Diced tomatoes
- Chopped olives/lettuce
- Grated cheese 

And if you're missing the meat too much, maybe this banned PETA commercial will help convince you otherwise.  Or maybe it will make you too nauseous to eat, which accomplishes a relatively similar result.
