They're Breakdance Fighting!

The Dynamic Steppers, a local drill team, was practicing routines at McAdams Park near 13th and I-135 on Saturday night when members of another drill team, the White Tigers, showed up and challenged the others to what was described as a "dance-off," police said.

I don't want to ruin it for you, but there's a box cutter involved.

On the bright side, this gives me the perfect excuse to put up another photo of Ms. Dunst.

[Jesus. I just spent 30 minutes looking for a suitable screen shot of Kirsten in a cheerleading uniform, and all I've found is crap. I feel empty inside.]

[9/21 UPDATE! After more searching, I've settled on this picture from Wimbledon, a Dunst film I have never seen. I'm still angry that they didn't title the picture Love, Love.]

I was expecting your parks to be on lockdown after this fiasco, but your director of parks and recreation, Larry Foos, sounds like a very reasonable man. Next election day, when you see that list of random people on your ballot for the park and rec board, please remember the unflappable Mr. Foos.

Where's Ms. Dunst? You tease!

this is a classic case of a dance off in the dub. (as one pete hoeller would say) this happens all the time in wichita's parks though most of the time its kept quiet by the man. i witnessed one in high school at harvest park, i think brad allen was involved.

mmmmm kirsten dunst is dreamy. re calling the movie (which was adorable by the way) "love, love" ... it was pointed out to me that in tennis "love" means nothing, nada, zip. funny how that's what it means in life sometimes too. still ... this movie has a happy ending (sorry for ruining the suspense) ... for kirsten love did not mean "nothing" and so "love/love" would really be inappropriate. mmmm ... kirsten.

The Straight Dope has this to say about tennis' stupid fucking scoring system:

Tennis scoring has its origin in medieval numerology. The number 60 was considered to be a "good" or "complete" number back then, in about the same way you'd consider 100 to be a nice round figure today. The medieval version of tennis, therefore, was based on 60--the four points when 15, 30, 45 (which we abbreviate to 40) and 60, or game.

There's a common misconception that the equally puzzling "love," or zero, derives from the French l'oeuf, "egg," or, by extension, goose-egg or zero. Actually, it comes from the idea of playing for love, rather than money--the implication being that one who scores zero consistently can only be motivated by a true love for the game. Tennis originated in the 12th or 13th century in France, where it was called jeu de paume ("palm game"). It seems to have derived its present appellation from the French habit of called "tenez!" before serving.

I suggest you start a weekly Kirsten Dunst day. I suggest Monday since it's hard to happy on a Monday.
