Zitat des Tages über Brigade:

I liked the name Frog Brigade because it lent itself to a lot of cool imagery with the whole frog thing.

At Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet Academy, I studied under a brilliant and fiery teacher. This tiny, stuttering old man flew into a rage if his students' white socks failed to reach mid-calf level. Nor could he tolerate floppy hair. We wore hairnets to class - an athletic brigade of short order cooks.

When I was at Upright Citizens Brigade, I would pretend to be a sad, drunk rapper.
