When you spend your entire summer rehearsing/performing a competitive production that’s less than 12 minutes, the intensity level can go a little overboard.

Impressed. That dumb joke is old enough to vote.

That’s awesome! San Antonio was always one of my favorite shows. Try to watch some parking lot warmups during the intermissions. Such a cool way to experience the activity up-close.

I’m so stoked to see drum corps get some mainstream love. It’s largely a niche activity, but it’s also one of the coolest live experiences. If you’re close to a show (check the dci.org schedule), check it out.

I hope somebody plays Disco Duck on infinite loop at Steve Dahl’s funeral.

Scott Steiner is the greatest wrestler of all-time.

My work parking lot is right next to a small pond that attracts a huge group — ugh, sorry ... “gaggle” — of these monsters.

Whenever I hear the phrase “Super Bowl Champion Quarterback Trent Dilfer,” I feel like I’m living in a rouge timeline/bizarro dimension that shouldn’t exist.

Shouldn’t be that hard for teams worth millions-billions.

At least Palpy got shit done and wasn’t a hypocritical fuckwit.

Interesting you say that: Hitler signed off on the invasion of Poland in his sixth year as Chancellor. Ken “Starry Knight” Starr was literally one day from getting into his sixth year as prez.

I thought the article at large was way more even-handed than the majority of US/International media coverage I’ve seen of Brazil lately (though the use of “retrograde culture” was dumb, I’ll agree).

I was in Sao Paulo a few weeks ago (arrived the day Dilma got suspended). The people I talked to — all of them liberal and sympathetic to her ideology — said she was just a bad leader who made too many promises.

I had mine in a small town (population 9,000) with a liberal arts college and a decent per capita density of bars.

“Social experiment” is turning into a pretty fucking loathsome phrase.

If I was in Strahan’s situation, I would spend the next two weeks drinking a bunch of cheap beer and eating dairy/sulfur-rich food (lots of seafood, too ... and White Castle).

Oh, shut up.

Kevin Harlan.

So when I come back from Brazil next month, I should not return to the states with a gallon-size bag of mosquito larvae? Just want to be clear.

As a long-time resident of Minneapolis — who is used to seeing my city ranked in the top-10 of these sorts of half-baked lists — I can tell you that this 20th place ranking is going to crush the psyche of many people.
