Tsai will be a co-captain next year along with freshman Eric Ode, taking over the men’s alpine duties from current captain Matt Perone. Sophomore Sam Simon, also a Crimson editor who took the fall semester off to work on a political campaign, will be rejoining the team next year...
...crossover to come. Like its Achy Breaky ancestor, Redneck is such an exaggerated piece of cornpone--"I'm a redneck woman/I ain't no high class broad/I'm just a product of my raisin'/I say 'hey y'all' and 'Yee Haw'"--that it succeeds as both a genuine ode to hillbillies and a genuine joke about hillbillies.

Indeed, an entire subplot could be drawn merely among the players’ lips, which Tarantino leaves under scrutiny through his final scene. Surely most moviegoers will reject this lip thesis in favor of the fairly blatant kung fu theme which runs through—and, admittedly, uplifts?...
Quentin Tarantino may be an unapologetic sadist, but he is clearly a fetishist as well. Kill Bill, Vol. 2, the follow-up to his ghoulish and gaudy first volume, is an ode to the most cunning and sensuous lips ever to grace the screen...
