Most things about Mexico, besides the weather, rule as far as I can tell. We used to visit all the time when I was little, before the dumbass Bush-era passport requirements happened.

College sports bands are just weird and offputting. They put so much effort in to their dances and chants and poo poo, but nobody cares, they are just annoying when you're at the game. Especially the football halftime shows with the marching bands. Sometimes you see them become hits on youtube doing wacky video game garbage, but no, it's still lame. It will never not be lame.

PHUO: "Entertainment" that no one actually wants is explicitly to DEmoralise people/make sure they know their opinion doesn't matter/is subordinate to the whims/desires of the ownership class. Muzak, college sports bands and American tabloid "news" (Good Morning America, Today, Entertainment Tonight, etc) shows are all prime examples.

I'm not exactly sure what you're even trying tosay but I'm sticking to my opinion of them being extremely lame, no matter how many hit songs and cool dances they come up to do with their tubas and poo poo.

I'm trying to say that, instead of appealing to the lowest common denominator, for whose benefit we assume they are there, they are there to gaslight people with still-functioning brains. Team owners: "WHOO! GET PUMPED FOR THESE LAME MOTHERFUCKERS! YEAH! IF YOU THINK THEIR ROUTINE AND MUSIC SELECTION IS LAME, YOU'RE A HATER AND DON'T APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THEY PUT INTO CHOREOGRAPHY ETC!" All fans, players, dancers, singers, etc: *shifts uncomfortably, trying desperately to disguise the fact that if they were offered immediate painless death, they would take it* "Hoo... ray?? Whoo."

i mean i'm here to watch a sport, not a bunch of pasty overweight nerds bob their flutes up and down while they make a pacman on the field. It's just shameful, like they all know, and we all know, that th ey would never get an audience aside from their parents unless they force it upon people, but in reality everyone treats it as a bathroom+food break. Nobody (except their parents and other fellow pasty overweight nerds) actually sticks around to watch them. and yeah i'm kind of a hypocrite because i don't mind cheerleaders, because...well...I don't have a valid reason, but I'm sticking to it.

I was exposed to the university of florida band for 9 years though and they are like the opposite of cool and I'd always end up getting seats by their section and wanting to shove a tuba up someone's rear end. How many loving times can you play the gator bait thing per game? A hell of a lot, apparently. And you can't just ignore it, you've got to do the chomp thing or people start looking at you funny and you might get called Not a Real Fan.

If you think that’s lame try going to a school with Division III athletics that also has a marching band for some reason. With bagpipes.

speaking of college sports...people who join ncaa tournament brackets and just have a final four full of 1/2 seeds don't know what they're doing. They might be right, but they probably won't win much money even if they are. It's gambling when money is involved, and picking the crowd favorite just is a negative EV play. It's absurd how many brackets pick duke to win it all. Yeah they probably will, but are you in here to be right or make money? It's called march madness for a reason, you can't just pick all chalk.

That’s why you join a pool that encourages upset picks. Especially because lower seeds have been going further and further in recent years.

Wofford has to be a lock to go deep, I mean, it took me a while to realize it, but they've got a dude named Fletcher Magee. Nobody with that name should be that good at basketball. He clearly made a deal with a leprechaun or something, and I'm rolling with it.

They’re even smaller than my aforementioned bagpipe school which makes it insane that they’re seeded as high as 7.

It's even more nuts considering they could have had that Zion dude that went to Duke. A college with like 1500 students that would have definitely been a solid 2-3 seed, maybe even a 1, in that conference is just insane. It makes you wonder how that happens. Like what rich dude went there and left his riches behind to build crazy basketball teams.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I'm sure the french are ok, but they are much less tolerant of my bad attempts at their language than the swiss were. The german swiss were nice about it, the genevans were arrogant/rolling eyes about it. You would think they'd give you some credit for at least not being the "any of y'all frenchies speak AMERICAN?" tourist, but no, you are treated the same way for your bad french. Francophone countries are ridiculously lovely about their stupid garbage language and people who don't speak it/speak it the right way. Even more so than we Americans are about our stupid garbage language.

It's an excellent sales tactic. You made a girl cry because you wouldn't buy a delicious box of cookies for $5? Wow, you're a real loving rear end in a top hat pal. Whoever came up with that is a goddamn genius.

Girl Scout cookies are amazing, but the price goes up each year while the amount of cookie(s) you get goes down, and that's loving bullshit. Also, those kids need better face memory, it's kind of a massive faux pas to solicit the same person 5 times in the same 20-minute grocery store visit. Does anyone remember when they were like $2 a box? I swear this happened in my lifetime. Has the cost of ingredients really gone up that much?

I'm an unapologetic fan of those terrible $1 chocolate bars that little league teams and such sell and they have gotten smaller and smaller every year. I swear I'm going to buy an entire box of the almond ones one of these days.

I helped run popcorn sales for the cub scouts - basically the same thing, but with even more unjustifiable prices. It is a hard loving sell for a second grader to convince an adult to buy a $20 bag of semi-stale popcorn. Anyway, the secret for making sure your kids don’t beg from the same stranger twice is to align your table parallel to the doors instead of perpendicular. That way, they’re only really making eye contact with people going one direction.
