A Case For Holland!
Radio dynamo/stand-up gadabout/disgraced Navy Seal Dane Imrie has weighed in on my self-indulgent “who should I root for in Euro 2012?” quest. Let’s hear it, Dane.
Practical Answer: Netherlands/Holland. Practical ball control. Funny shirt names. Wild abuse of “heyyyy, that guy’s from the Antilles” rule.
A reasonable answer, although I’ve never really glommed on to the...
A Case For Poland!
Tom Ewing (the fantastic music writer you know from a lot of things, now’s a good time check in on Freaky Trigger) has a recommendation for my Euro 2012 support. Take it away, Tom!
Poland is a nice place to visit, it’s the host country which doesn’t have a hunger striking ex president, and it might get out of its group!
Three excellent points. It’s like a trident of sensible...
Ties? You Bet! Help Me Find A Rooting Interest For...
When I watch soccer, my default rooting interest is Scotland, which isn’t a rooting interest that breeds a lot of exciting results. Unless you measure exciting results in Del Amitri songs and a decade plus without a major international tournament appearance. Cheering for Scotland is a bit like being Gretchen Weiners in Mean Girls and wanting to make “fetch” happen. Dan, stop...
Dan Harmon Poops: HEY, DID I MISS ANYTHING? →
Well, this is an enormous bummer. As someone that’s been a big Dan Harmon fan since way back in the Channel 101 days, I remember being really excited for Community not just because it sounded like it was going to be great, but also because it was Dan Harmon doing a TV show on a major broadcast network. On the plus side, maybe we can get an Acceptable TV revival this fall.

I'm An Answering Machine
I asked Mason (who you know from the previous post/your Tumblr dashboard feed/the film Ski School 2) to answer all nineteen of these questions on his blog, now he’s asking me to do the same on mine. Put on your reading mittens, let’s get to it.

1) What album do you consider to be “epic”?
It’s a pick that’s probably a bit on the nose but Electric Light Orchestra’s Out of the Blue is a big...
Catch The Wave
Folks on Tumblr (including Mason Pitzel who you’re following on Tumblr if you’re doing life things right) are tackling this list of questions and I thought I’d weasel my way into this sort of thing. Which of these Tumblr quiz questions would you like me to tackle? (Note: I have no idea where this collection of questions originated. Bolt maybe? Is that something that still exists?)
1) What...

His name is MCA, I said, "Howdy," he said, "Hi"
I was at the Sasquatch! Festival in 2007 when the Beastie Boys co-headlined with Bjork. Sasquatch! promised we’d get hot Bjork action on Saturday night, with the Beastie Boys closing out the festivities on Sunday night. In the run-up to the festival, it was announced that the Beastie Boys would also be doing an “instrumental” set on the Saturday night as well. It was exciting news, but it was...
