  1. I believe Daniel when he says he is 100 years ahead of the rest of us because one doesn't get a reputation of red minus 1,159,086 in a short period of time.
  2. Perhaps not, but if he walked into a public cafeteria and demanded that no one be allowed to eat peanut butter sandwiches, then I would gently lead him away and encourage him to get some help. ######, now I'm hungry for a peanut butter sandwich. Edit: ####, sorry, I forgot you can't say ######.
  3. It seems unlikely that the most ideally throwable, catchable and aesthetically impactful piece of equipment of similar weight and size, if you were designing it from the outset, would turn out to look exactly like a rifle anyway, so maybe if merely those objectives are sought it will eventually be a non-issue.
  4. I think you can still say the letter "T" though.
  5. I think they will have a dry patch in the last half of the 2020's but come back with a vengeance in the mid 2030's.
  6. Down to 2000, 2004 and 2008. Will have to think about it a little more to choose among those.
  7. Oh man I'm going to be noticing new things in this show until the 2014 season starts! Somebody should start a comprehensive list of all the thematic elements, effects, and such in one place so we can catch them all. Impossible, you say?
  8. I believe the comparisons were prompted by the below accusation, which took a thread about neat things not initially noticed and sent it in a bad direction. Given that, your unsubstantiated accusation that they are bagging on corps to make 'theirs' seem better is unfair and seems a little condescending.
  9. Given that the cold war started like 50 years ago and numerous countries now have nuclear capability and missiles can be launched at the press of a button, maybe we should be more concerned about eliminating buttons from dci.
  10. If you know anyone who has trouble seeing the 3D in the pyramid, tell them that bottom wide triangle is the base and to watch it rotate. That makes the whole thing leap out of the ground for me.
  11. I hear it most often described as *$%!!! Not sure if that's the correct term...
  12. I don't think end zone and backfield seats should count for much, if at all, if our goal is to provide an enjoyable experience for the audience that exhibits and chronicles drum corps in the best light possible. Edit: Was talking about the Montreal figures. Sorry, didn't see all the posts that were there in between.
  13. I am not saying it does and I am not blaming anyone who may have had good intentions. The people I am referring to made comments on numerous other threads and their tone and intentions were clearly not benign. I was only explaining that to you at all because you were telling me how to breathe which seemed to suggest you think I was overreacting to something.
  14. Sorry it was just the straw that broke the camel's last nerve. While a number of people have had difficulty with the streams this year, there have been a handful of nimrods who continually felt it necessary to tell us it works fine for them so it must be our fault and we have no right to complain. They said it was an entitlement mentality and manufactured outrage, and basically implied we were stupid for not paying for the live finals stream. Interestingly enough, after the problems people encountered with the finals stream, some of the very same people threw a fit because it happened to THEM.
  15. I could be wrong. I haven't had an eye exam since after Cadets 96 when I never could spot the cow.
