Super Bowl weekend has finally arrived.

The culmination of the football season leaves us all brimming with anticipation of a great game, great party, great food at halftime.

But what if you don't care about football? What if you don't know what the Super Bowl is?What if, heaven forbid, you've never even heard of the NFL?

Does someone like that actually exist out there?

Perhaps.

A conversation with Ida Kloolesswon might go something like this:

Reporter:Excuse me, miss, I'm conducting an on-the-street interview on the Super Bowl?

Ida:The what?

Reporter:The Super Bowl.

Ida:Uhhh ... OK.

Reporter:Who do you like?

Ida:That's a personal question, sir. I mean, if we were in junior high, maybe I'd pass you a note ...

Reporter:No, no. Who do you like in the Super Bowl?

Ida:In the Super Bowl?Probably Cocoa Krispies. I could eat a ton of those. Not that you can tell, of course.

Reporter:Miss, I'm talking about the Super Bowl football game, not cereal.

Ida:A football game?Who's playing?

Reporter:The Colts and the Bears.

Ida:I can't believe that. It's so unfair!

Reporter:Why?

Ida:Aren't colts nimble and quick, bears big, mean and intimidating?

Reporter:Now you're catching on, yes.

Ida:Colts may run away from bears, but if bears catch them, that could get ugly. Colts are so much younger. At least they should be horses. They'd be a lot stronger, anyway, stand a better chance.

Reporter: Peyton Manning is considered a horse. So is Marvin Harrison.

Ida:

But they're not colts.Reporter:Of course they are.

Ida:They used to be colts if they're horses.

Reporter:Peyton and Marvin are considered the horses of the Colts. Haven't you ever heard of Peyton's Place?

Ida (wiping away tears):Of course I have. I grew up on that show. I miss it so much. Are you saying it's on in reruns?

Reporter:No!I'm saying ... Never mind. Anyway, the Bears are younger than the Colts in this game.

Ida:Ahh, the Bears are actually Cubs, then.

Reporter:No, no, the Cubs play baseball.

Ida:I'm confused.

Reporter:I can see that. Let's start from the beginning. The Bears have a young quarterback named Rex.

Ida:Rex?That's my dog's name.

Reporter: Well, Rex also plays for the Bears!

Ida:Tell me, where do these bears and colts come from?

Reporter:The Bears are from Chicago and the Colts are from Indianapolis.

Ida:They're neighbors, then. Which city is hosting the game?

Reporter:Miami.

Ida: So a bunch of bears and colts are heading south for the winter to play a football game in Miami.

Reporter:Miss, I'm talking about human beings here! Did you really think a bunch of horses could play football?

Ida:Well, there is that TVcommercial.
