Scorpions on a stick: This post rocks!
With tens of thousands of foreign journalists in town to cover the scorpions on a stick story, and occasionally the Olympics, it is hard for the individual scribe to distinguish himself or herself. But, much like a gold medalist, Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post has found that slight edge to distinguish himself from his competitors - write TWO stories about scorpions on a stick (see his second offering here).
This might impress your average reporter, but not so the readers of this blog. MH, who broke the scorpions in a bottle story, tuned up her investigation skills, so to speak, and has broken the most rockin’ story of all - The Scorpions on a stick. I’m not sure what this venerable power band would taste like, but given the outfits, I imagine quite chewy with a hint of leather.

I believe this was a collaboration, BB.
@ m-dawg,
Is there no limit to the “on a stick” madness!?
@ MH,
There is no “I” in TEAM, MH. I have no idea what my point is, but make something up, will you?
By the way, The Village Grouch reports hearing The Scorpions “Rock You Like a Hurricane” at the men’s football final today. Coincidence?
Cheers, Boyce
