(no subject)
we just blew a 15 space lead to drop our opening match in the pictionary tournament. So naturally I'm pissed but I can only express myself through crudely drawn images after an hour of pictionary. I just drew a picture and anthony guessed "rage" "hate" etc. But really the word was "angry." So it goes.
Earlier today I went to my first-ever Monster Truck rally. It was a nice little slice of red state America. I feel like Tocqueville or Bernard-Henri Levy (shameless plug) when I go to these events. I have so little in common with these people; I'm just a visitor in their world. I hope that's not elitist. It's just that...everyone but us had earphones...because they all fucking hunt. Like Cheney. The Most dangerous game. fuck yeah. But yeah.
The opening ceremonies of the event also included perhaps the highest-scoring uninentional comedy ever. Naturally, because this was such a classy and honorable event, they started it off with a 2-minute "stand up if you know anyone serving our country etc. etc" salute to the troops. OK, fair enough. That was followed by, no joke, a 5-minute video montage of Monster trucks and marines, set to the tune of "Proud to be an American." This actually happened. I know this only because I apparently said "this is not happening" to travis like 10 times and he responded in the affirmative. I'm trying to imagine the brainstorming session in which the idea was conceived. THere was probably one mastermind who kpt everyone on task. When some fool said something craZY like "moment of silence", focuse exec kept them on track. "More montage dammit! MONTAAAAGE!" And so it went.
