The Stanford Band Sucks
If I didn't emphasize it before, Stanford is one of the wackest places ever. I know I shouldn't care, as I don't work for them anymore, my sister does not work there anymore and I don't have any friends there. But this past weekend I went to the Big Game, something I swore I'd never experience. (To reiterate, the only thing lamer than Cal fans are Stanford fans.) And it is pretty lame that 2 mediocre teams are fighting so passionately about how the other sucks worse.
I was presented with last-minute free tickets (I later found out they were worth $100 each). I went to go see my cousin who is a cheerleader for Cal and Ed wanted to see some of the Cal players he knows from CCSF. The rivalry was not of interest to either of us, although I found it interesting that 3/4 of the stadium belonged to Cal supporters and that the Stanford band, mascot, pep group, etc. try to go out of their way to say "I'm so f-in lame and retarded and stupid" in as many ways as possible. The Stanford band's half-time show (wait...I can't describe it in any other words than "what-the f---"...it made me think of the Family Guy's Peter Griffin when he was watching an existential Eugene O'Neill play and goes "what the hell is this crap? Jesus Christ, someone throw a pie!")
So Cal won, but Ed's boy Ayoob only played the last 2 kneel-downs. Ed and I left very quickly.

Oh yeah (I'm not trying to have any organized thoughts here), here's to a band that does not suck. I went to the depeche mode concert on friday. they played all but a few of my favorite songs of theirs. the show was great. they had like 3 encores. the nachos were intense as hell.

The funniest random reference from Family Guy yet.
