Today we celebrate Independence Day. Oops, sorry, that’s what I get for watching DVDs when I’m supposed to be writing a column. I take this column seriously. Seriously. No really, I do. Can’t you tell by the content? Stop shaking your head. Anyhow on to this week’s three brand SPANKIN’ new items.
Item #1 The male baton twirler in the Marching Chiefs
So yeah, I admit to making fun of him a whole lot at the first game. Then I actually sat down and thought about the situation. He probably experienced some reverse discrimination, and he probably had to be extra good in order to beat out a mediocre girl. That said, more power to him. Hell, I don’t want to be the one with a flaming baton twirling on the back of my neck. My only question. Is that something you put on a resume? If so, what kind of skill does that show an employer?

Item #2 35 year old fans
Ah yes, the great debate on standing vs. sitting. Oh how I miss New York sometimes where people are too busy on the cell phones to watch the game, much less stand up and cheer. I pay for a seat. I like to sit when we’re on offense. I can handle standing up for four quarters if I need or want too. With that said, I know people who have family and friends that can’t. They have the right to enjoy the game too, and it shouldn’t be an argument if someone that likes to stand has a kid or elderly person sitting behind them. Just STFD or go sit somewhere else.

Item #3 The ultimate combo
Up until this year, we had two parents of a baton twirler sit in the great Section 16. I lovingly refer to them as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. These two never figured out what seats they had, even though they had season tickets in the exact same spot. They brought in a digital camera to film halftime with, and left right after that causing all kinds of problems as they climbed over people and hit them with those plastic chairs. There’s nothing funny about, but I have a column and I get to rant now. ::evil laugh:: mwahahahahahahaahahahhaaa ::cough cough::
