Libraria Obscura Socialia Theatre: Are You Ready for Some Football?

Football Snack Bowl

Welcome to Libraria Obscura Socialia Theatre.  The Monday has come again.  You know the one.  Half the staff will be going on about their work, calmly chit-chatting about the normal benign stuff.  The hard core Big Game fan will be home, so hungover they cannot tell the toilet from the cat.  The other quarter of the staff will be sitting in the break room or at the Circ Desk talking about the big game and all it entails.  Most of these people will be talking about the commercials, yet several will be hard into the mechanics of this "football."  Here a simple conversational example of the latter starring Brenda from Reference and Betty from Circulation:

Badass: A Hard-Earned Guide to Living Life with Style and (the Right) Attitude    Ugly Betty - The Complete First Season
Brenda and Betty: Are You Ready For Some Football?

Betty:  
Hi, Brenda, did you see the game last night?

Brenda:  
Hell yeah I saw it, the Packers brought back the trophy, baby!

Betty:  
Yeah... Um, wasn't the Darth Vader kid commercial funny?

Brenda:  
My husband said it was, I was paying to much attention to the game and that bull&*t call in the 3rd Quarter!

Betty:  
Brenda, you don't have to shout, I thought that call was unfair-

Brenda:  
Unfair!  It was criminal!  That ref should be taken out back to pick his own switch and then have it shoved up his-

Betty:  
Brenda!  Calm down!  It was just a game! 

Brenda:  
Just a game!  I bleed green and yellow!  Just a game... Go pick your own switch!

Betty:  
What? No... Go to your station.

Brenda:  
You go to your station.

Betty:  
I... I'm already here.

Brenda:  
Well, you better be.

The two stand awkwardly for a minute.

Betty:  
Did you see the Captain America spot?

Brenda:  
Yeah, it was sweet.
