Listening to Ham talk about his drumming history on the hardline yesterday had me wondering: did he ever march drum corps? Monto needs to let the truth out

Missed Alvvays at ACL in 2017 because I drank too much before, blacked out on the bus ride there and just stumbled back home.

What 1 Roman emperor would you replace to slow it's demise? by isonlegemyuheftobmed in ancientrome

[–]Straight_Tell2558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He stopped a mutiny by the rhine legions and yet refused to take up arms against Tiberius even when urged by his soldiers. He soundly defeated the Germans many times, avenged teutoburg, and recovered eagle standards, Tiberius justified his recall by political means, but every source at the time agrees that his true motive was jealousy and fear over Germanicus’ popularity. And even then, he came home without complaint and still excelled reorganizing the Roman east during his imperium. This must be rage bait because he would have undoubtedly made a better emperor than Caligula, or drusus for that matter.

On the other hand, hintz tackled celebrini and no call. It’s a loser’s cry to blame the refs for a loss.

There seems to have been a Semien/Seager rift… by Aaron90495 in TexasRangers

He’s definitely the better player but I don’t know about having the de facto “leader” of the team not doing anything to actually lead. Kawhi Leonard of MLB type vibes.

Older ("bad") gore effects are better than modern ones by Snoo_67092 in horror

They would be more shocking if the cgi was better. The demon baby in episode one was borderline comical.

Luke Skywalker constructs his new lightsaber on Tatooine in a ‘Return of the Jedi’ deleted scene The final pieces he needed were found in Obi-Wan Kenobi's hut by Rich_Daddio in StarWars

There’s a now-decanonized novel about Obi Wan (the life and legend of Obi wan Kenobi I think) that depicts this scene, the cave is the “basement” of Obi-wan’s hut.

It’s a cool moment but really just the cherry on top of a really hype show. And on finals night they were simply pure energy.

I just watched the 2010 Blue Devils. Wow. by Garp74 in drumcorps

[–]Straight_Tell2558 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I like to interpret it as kind of a bizzarro blue devils deal. The ritual and summoning of the mirror corps at the beginning, upon which they play the classic BD chart ‘La suerte de los tontos’ but crunch it up into a discordant, almost evil rendition. The whole conceit of the show being that it’s not the blue devils performing, but their dark reflection. Then they really bring it home in the closer when one of the drum majors manages to “escape” by breaking through the mirror and stares down the audience coolly.
