...randomness surrounding Guided by Voices, Robert Pollard, and other great indie rock bands; a quasi objective look at "my" sporting teams; the random horror film; plus other crap as we see fit...all with a Pittsburgh based feel.

Picture of the Week: Final Two

The sporting world was given a lot of fantastic images in the past week, but two stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. Let us weigh the options...



Vail Skier





Pro: It's a guy stuck on a ski lift with his pants around his ankles
Pro: Amateur photographer
Pro: Can be used in certain science classes to teach "shrinkage"
Pro: Man in question not offended by sudden public exposure

Con: Photographer (ski resort employee) was fired for releasing the pic
Con: Wasn't an attractive woman
Con: Can be used in certain science classes to teach "shrinkage"
Con: Kid on lift now scarred for life



Crying Band Member




Pro: Face paint hasn't smeared yet
Pro: Hard to fit any more pathetic into one image
Pro: Perfect use of lead room
Pro: Cameraman and director have ensured their job security for one more year

Con: You know she's probably pissed about this (leads to more crying)
Con: We get these pictures every year
Con: Renewed use of trite band camp jokes
Con: It's another subliminal plug for both FOX and the BCS


My vote is for the skier, despite how spherical that girl's head is.

Also...





Go Royals!!
