Kevin Marshall's America
Boy. What a week. WHAT. A WEEK. A week, it was. What?
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
I’m considering changing the name of this blog. One idea I had was “Kevin Marshall: Hungry Like the Wolf,” after the Duran Duran song of the same name. Because c’mon, that’d be kind of awesome.
Please reply with any and all other suggestions you may have.
===================
TROY WHAT
TONIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT: Troy native Shannon Miller takes on Hasim Rahman, the former boxing Heavyweight Champion most notable for his knockout win in 2001 over Lennox Lewis. Unfortunately it won’t be televised, but keep an eye on Michael Rivest’s Boxing in the Capital Region blog for results. (Edit: my bad; the fight is actually Saturday night)
TOMORROW: It’s Riverfest! Headlined by Paula Cole.
REST OF THE SUMMER: The Mayor has announced he’s WAVE-ing pool fees (see what I did there?!) for kids 12 and under at city pools. The Department of Parks & Recreation will also be providing a free six-week Summer camp program for kids aged 8 to 13.

Kevin Marshall’s International Blog of Mystery.
Kevin Marshall: Man of Certain YOUNGER age.
Kevin Marshall: This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin around(ok maybe a little long)
hahaha! so i’ll trade you my seahorse for your approval… ;)
I’m glad they just let us use our own names when I started here . . . since I had bad luck with my prior blog names. My original blog was called Giant Nylon Hair Net for about three or four years, until I started getting bombarded by spambots. Who could have imagined that there was a demand for nylon and hair net pr0n, and that my many reviews of hardcore music shows would also be pr0nbot candy? So then I changed it to Flexible Tetragrammaton, without thinking that there was also an apparently large demand for flexible pr0n. At that point, I just stopped looking at my traffic and visitor stats.
I like your title, but I’m a fiend about 80s stuff.
Tony: Thank you for your submissions. I was scared to death you were going to quote Sheryl Crow “This ain’t no disco, this ain’t no country club either.” I was pleasantly relieved when it turned into a Talking Heads reference.
KC: AWWWWW NO WAY YOU HAVE A SEAHORSE?! Okay okay FINE
JES: I’m making one of hte options “Giant Nylon Hair Net 2: Electric Boogaloo”
Erin L: I’m not a fiend about 80s stuff, really. Just Duran Duran.
