Question of the Day

Knocking off some of the easier ones first:

Q.  Dear Mary Beth,

When Jason The Ridiculously Awesome Drum Major performed in Michigan, I fear that the combination of his and The Ohio State University Marching Band's overpowering swag being produced in a place with such suckitude as Ann Arbor created a Matrix-like singularity which means that we are all now actually living in an alternate dimension.  Did you happen to notice any black holes opening in the sky above the Big House?

-ColumbusTown

A:  I'm so sorry all of you had to find out this way.

Hello Mary Beth! I met and talked to you the day before the Penn State Game when the Alumni Band came to play for us. Our whole group is loving the website and we feel very honored to have heard them and seen four such great drummajors perform for us.

We are so glad to have had a chance to watch Jason Stuckert twirl up close.

You are a lovely young lady. We really appreciate you lending your talents to highlighting this wonderful, wonderful band.

Oh man was MB up in Ann Arbor?!

LOL, THAT has got to be a story.

Mary Beth if you were in Michigan standing with the OSUMB, I really hope D Row looked out for you. From what I hear it can get pretty nasty between OSU and UM.

Also my sandwich!

Very jealous!

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterQuandoQuandoQuando

LOL! You guys are crazy.

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterGoBabyBo

I really hope D Row looked out for you

Or Matt The Badass could have just walked next to the band, nobody would have LOOKED at them the wrong way.

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCDMC1

(not giving a damn for the whole state of...)

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterReenie

I caught some of the bands on the game last night and liked watching them but I kept thinking about how I'd rather be watching "some other" band...!

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterW in MD

I have a question! I have a question!

....where's Stew?

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterTeam STEW

Mary Beth please say you are going to the bowl game if there is one for Ohio State!

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterrailbird

I really hope D Row looked out for you

MB did go to Michigan and I wasn't a bit concerned. I personally asked Kyle Who Owns and David Who Got [Her] Purse to watch out for her, and they brought her back safe and sound to me. Thanks guys!

OSU to the Gator Bowl... MB back to Florida (we hope :))

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNed The Reader

Ah, I see that Our Jason shall now rain his particular brand of twirling destruction up on the Sunshine State. Ohio State is in the Gator Bowl.

RaisingSugarCane, I just sent you a msg about The Thing That Technically Doesn't Exist....

December 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterVictorious The Reader

you guys stop trying to get MB in trouble, she has to sell this book in Michigan too!

Oh honey... she'll be lucky if this book isn't outright banned in Ann Arbor...
