Now This Is A Kick Off

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Hawaii’s unparalleled marching band.

This also seems a fitting time to note that Rafflaw has agreed to shed anonymity and expressed an interest in posting during our free-for-all weekends. As I mentioned, I have a number of other regulars in mind who have been on the blog for years and have been wonderful contributors. I will continue to explore ways to add new voices as well as the other innovations suggested by our regulars to improve the blog. Guest blogging requires both a surrendering of anonymity as well as a proven willingness to comply with our hard and fast civility rules (even in the face of persistent trolls). I expect some of our regulars would prefer to continue to post commentary in response to stories and I am grateful to both our guest bloggers and regulars commentators. We have a great bench of pitchers and hitters.

Rafflaw and the rest of the guest bloggers will be blogging more than usual between Dec. 22nd and Jan. 2 because I will be traveling to Chicago in our annual Christmas trip. The Internet is a bit spotty at our family’s house on the Northside. However, I will also be posting as the signal allows.

  1. Thanks Gyges and Slatibartfast! Eniobob, that hand dance was amazing. I just don’t know how they can remember all those different moves with their hands.

  2. Bda,

    Ha! More warm weather nerds scurrying around the field … OSU marches … look at that ‘Script Ohio” again, this time from some professional camera angles … we can march anywhere, anytime … and … beat the poop out of you warm weather girls!

  4. rafflaw,

    Outstanding debut.

    Professor Turley,

    The guest posters have been a great addition to your blog. Keep up the good work.

    Hawaii’s marching band,

    Damn. That was impressive. How long did it take to get that right?

  7. I’d just like to reiterate one of the few absolutes in life:

    Marching Band is never cool.

    However, second line… That’s cool

    Rafflaw,

    Congrats on a well deserved honor.

  11. Okay, Hawaii may be alright for a bunch of warm weather nerds but as I have spent decades as part of the unit working with the Drum Majors from OSU on field performance and presence I give you the best damn band in the land (keep in mind ‘Hang on Sloopy’ … O HI O)

  13. A fine addition to the stable of guest bloggers. Look forward to rafflaw’s offerings. Congrats all around.

  17. Another excellent addition to the group of guest bloggers. It was, heretofore, the MED team… If an “A” is added to the mix, we’ll have the DRE(A)M team — not that it isn’t already.

    rafflaw,

    Kudos! Looking forward to your postings…

  20. What a coordinated band. (I can, however, walk and at the same time play ‘You are My Sunshine’ on a chromatic harmonica–well, sometimes on level ground with no wind, and…)

    Good to have another attorney as a guest blawgger.
