Frequent 5er

The Frequent 5er will include various recommendations, recognitions, and references concerning music, vocabulary, philosophy, and so on. It will introduce non-sports-related subjects to "The Catapult," and will henceforth be appended semi-frequently to regular postings.


Song: Silver Jews, "Random Rules"

Word: decadence

Random/Obscure Sports Reference: Remember when the University of Tennessee won a football national championship with Tee Martin at quarterback, despite not winning one with Peyton Manning? That was weird.

Random/Obscure Non-Sports Reference: Nancy Grace's nightly program is nothing more than a television tabloid, the hostess herself nothing more than a dirtmonger. Over the past several days, her show has included stories about a microwaved infant, a celebrity paternity case, and the apparently widespread usage of crystal meth by bosses across the United States. Now that's real, relevant news!

Quote/Quip: If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world. [Ludwig Wittgenstein]
