WOS: Do you have work to do today?
SOL: A little. I want to get it done soon. It is Super Bowl Sunday, you know.
WOS: Oh, really? Cool!
SOL: "Cool"? Do you even know who's playing?
WOS: Yes! Yes, I do, Mr. Smartass. The 49'ers and. . . uh. . . Wait, I know this. . . . Um. . . (SOL begins flapping his arms.) Um. . . Hm.
SOL: (Still flapping arms) SCRA-AAA-AAA-AWK!
WOS: The Chickens?
SOL: The Chi-- SCRA-AAA-AAA-AWK!!!!
WOS: The Roosters?!?
SOL: (Making a menacing face as he flaps his arms) SCRAA-AAAAAAAAAA-AWWWWWK!!! SCRAAA-AAAAAAAAA-AWWWWK!!!!
WOS: Um. . .The. . . Hawks?
SOL: (Croaking) NE-VER-MOOOORRRE!
WOS: The. . .Crows?
SOL: WHAT?!?
WOS: Oh, I mean, the Ravens!
SOL: "Quoth the CROW, 'Nevermore'"?!?
WOS: Shut up! Leave me alone! I just woke up! Just for that, we're watching the Puppy Bowl on the bigscreen! You can go watch the game in your mancave!
SOL: (Muttering) Yeah, like that wasn't going to happen anyway.
WOS: What?
SOL: Nothing.
**************************
I don't really have a dog in this year's fight. I live in the Bay Area, so I guess I'm nominally rooting for the 49'ers. If I had to bet, though, I think I might actually go with Baltimore. Here's the interesting thing, though: In a game featuring San Francisco and Baltimore, if you had to guess which team has gotten tons of press for recent anti-gay sentiment, and which has become known for its players' support of gay rights and marriage equality. . . Well, let's just say, you'd be wrong.
Still, go Niners.
