Play-By-Play Commentary

Pissed On

When do you hear about someone being happily pissed on? Pissed off, easy, for those who get off on anger. But pissed on? It's only insulting, even for the kinky types who like to be insulted.

Chris takes the widescreen, Futura-less Wes Anderson format Naz gave us and dumps all over it. Excuse me, trails golden trails in a field of Ohio wheat while packing Naz's serve under his arm in a white television. One doesn't know where to begin.

Except to say, I love it. The palette's restrained, the technology is advanced, the meaning is...mean. I got in touch with Chris and yes, in fact, he took that picture just now. So we have a match on our hands of unprecedented quick-change nasty.

Can Naz reply with strength? Will he go deeper and dirtier? And did Chris remember to wash his hands before he headed back to his keyboard?
