Play-By-Play Commentary

Gradient Pride

Dear lord, what is that? it appears to be a burnt avocado that needs dental work, but she don't care, she's got the pride, and she's got gold chains and a Bedazzled rainbow G-string. I'm going to name her Big Jill. She needs a "John James 3:16" sign, though.

I love the speech bubble treatment. It reminds me of a sign I saw at the bank the other day that said "0% APR" but they put the "%" inside the right half of a very bold "0", so it looked like the negative space in the middle of the "O" was a VAG-Rounded "1" and it said "1%" inside a TV-shape. Does that make any sense?

Another precedent has been set, will James follow up by adding to the parade, or does he have a new direction in mind? There's still a lot of ways this could end up, I hear this rainbow grid dead ends in a bad neighborhood. If their goal is to outdo our sponsor's ads on the dasherboards, they'll be there by volley 5.

Soundtrack to this volley: "QDA" by God is My Co-Pilot.
