Bryan Bedell's Layer 8 Commentary

Walter Bytes?

We (I) have this (lame) running joke around the office (in my head). When we order “baby pizzas” from Salerno’s Pizza, I always (never) ask for mine with “extra baby.”

So does that mean "Walter Bytes" are made of Walter? That's pretty low, dude. And totally insensitive to Greg Hubacek's Korean heritage.

I gotta say, I think Greg's keeping Aaron on his toes here today, and steering the battered Econoline that I'm using as a cheap metaphor for this match. But Draplin is keeping it close, and he's always deadly in the final volley.

I've heard that DDC ping-pong balls were produced a few years ago, but the tennis ball must be new to the ever-expanding DDC mersh lineup.

Note: Layer Tennis HQ has awarded Aaron Draplin a Yellow Card for time violations. Just to mix another sports reference in. As long as it's not Tennis, which makes me think about Infinite Jest and my failures as a reader.

SOUNDTRACK:
Iggy's Dog Food. Note: video is tasteless. That song is on the Dogs In Space soundtrack, from the late-80s movie starring Michael Hutchence. The movie was kinda dumb but the post-glam-punk soundtrack was excellent, featuring some good original songs plus Eno, Gang of Four, and this early Nick Cave beauty.
