| Arise ye workers from your slumbers Arise ye prisoners of want For reason in revolt now thunders And at last ends the age of cant. Away with all your superstitions Servile masses arise, arise We’ll change henceforth the old tradition And spurn the dust to win the prize. So comrades, come rally No more deluded by reaction So comrades, come rally No saviour from on high delivers So comrades, come rally |
A DocuDharma tradition now found on The Stars Hollow Gazette.

First of all, Football is a game you play with your feet and a round ball.
Second, the whole Bowl Championship Series system is a ripoff and a joke. Either you have a National Championship Playoff or you don’t. This is don’t.
The thread is for rooting for your Alma or other teams you have an interest in. Richard will be cheering for (Michigan) State (Alma) and UConn (not really a Division 1 Team and a huge waste of taxpayer money).
Your early games-
1 pm
1:30 pm
Late games-
5 pm

Today is the 122nd edition of the Tournament of Roses Parade known for its plant and flower covered floats (most of which are animated) and equestrian units.
I’ll charitably posit that it’s the plant and flower coverings and not the manure that earns it a spot in the Home and Garden channel line up (it’s also being covered on ABC and NBC). If I sound a little bitter it’s because I’ve marched in a band behind horses of which there are also plently.
Bands that is. This year we’ll have the displeasure of being subjected to flower zombie Ronnie on the occasion of his centenary. The part of him that wasn’t senile was shallow, narcissistic, vapid, and evil.
I’ll try and keep up as best I can. I’m working to finish up today’s TV and put together a Bowl Game Mania Open Thread so I can ditch out to a party this evening. I’m skipping Evening Edition but TheMomCat may decide to put something together, I’m leaving it up to her.
So grab your hangover flapjacks and coffee and settle in.

Well, if you’re looking for profound insight, thoughtful retrospection on a year that can only be described as horrible, farsighted prognostication of future trends, or stentorian calls to ACTION!, I think we can all agree that you’re reading in the wrong place.
But if you have some sentiment you’re aching to express or a passing observation of entropy’s arrow…
Brian Seacrest’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve. Is this water hot or is it just me?
In case you forgot the words.

Last Sunday at noon, 18 Helium Balloons in the shape of familiar and popular cartoon characters stepped off at the intersection of Hoyt and Summers for their 17th annual appearance.
The tallest balloon, Popeye, stands a whopping 65 feet and this year 2 new balloons were added, Fred Flintstone and Scooby Doo.
Over 100 volunteers assist at the event as balloon handlers and Parade Marshals and it’s organized by a permanent steering committee of 3 and sponsored by UBS. This year’s Grand Marshal was John Starks, formerly of the Knicks and the Master of Ceremonies Alan Kalter of Late Night with David Letterman.
It was quite a spectacular sight and I bet you’re sorry you missed it because there’s just no better way to feel that Master of the Universe consumerist buying spirit of the 4th Quarter than standing in the Hedge Funded Concrete Canyons of downtown Stamford Connecticut and…
You say there’s another Balloon Parade? In New York City? And it’s on TV?
Then why was I freezing my ass off… oh, never mind.
Coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade starts at 9 am on CBS (which is a little up route so you see things first) and NBC (which covers the lame lip syncing at Herald Square).
