I always say this, but I still like that AUSA bothers to make Opening Ceremonies into an actual event, skits and all.

So, I haven’t gone back to check, but I think this is the first Conventional Wisdom to feature blood. DARKER AND EDGIER, BABY. But hey, I’m not exaggerating the body count (Heck, I’m leaving OUT stabbing incidents!)

(Historical Notes: Wow, an 8-Bit Theater reference.  That REALLY makes me feel nostalgic.  Also, no.  The actual skit did not include any blood.)
