The Friscalating Dusklight: Official RandBall X

Posted on July 21st, 2008 – 5:40 PM

petunia.jpegJon kicked off a list of “Official RandBall” items in the last comment thread:

Given that the HS is apparently the Official Band of RandBall (in the collective, not the singular form), I’m guessing “yes.”

And I think we should define some other RandBall officials. For example:

Official Breed of Dog: Pug
Official National Chain Restaurant: Sonic
Official Japanese Poetry Form: Haiku
Official Wing: 30-cent wing at Legends

We like where this is headed. Can you think of other “official” RandBall entities — either as they pertain to us or the dear commenters? (Or would you rather talk about Favre again). Yeah, that’s what we thought.

Thanks, Dave. I’m proud to be RandBall’s token Uterine-American.

You guys can have The Big Lebowski as the Official Movie (when I’d much prefer Sixteen Candles), if we can vote The Office as Official TV Show?
