quote of the day (May 27, 2008)


"However, part of me missed the bygone era of country line dancing, which nobody seems to do anymore. It always fascinated me that the people who liked George Strait and Billy Ray Cyrus were equally enamored with linear, highly structured dance choreography that offered no spontaneity whatsoever. Line dancing reminds me of the way Great Britain used to fight land wars."

--Chuck Klosterman, in his 2005 book Killing Yourself to Live. We here at QOTD always thought that line dancers looked more like the aliens from Space Invaders, except without the fun of getting to shoot them with lasers. (EDITOR'S NOTE: We do not condone shooting line dancers. Some of our best friends are line dancers. Like Jane Searson. You are welcome to point and laugh at their ridiculous hats, however. Just no lasers.)
