Filed under "Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby", two rap groups with the same producers would compete to earn the name "Leaders of the New School", with the losing crew instead being titled "Young Black Teenagers". Then Busta Rhymes and Charlie Brown versus five white guys went exactly how you expect
The "Formation" section of the Wikipedia entry for the hip-hop group Young Black Teenagers, as follows:

"The group formed in 1989, and eventually decided on the name Young Black Teenagers because the five members, who were all white, had grown up in black neighborhoods and as a result felt adapted to black culture, to which their families did not understand. 'We're not trying to call ourselves black, because obviously we're white' said Kamron, who occupied the same social circles as Public Enemy and convinced Hank Shocklee, Public Enemy's producer, to sign Young Black Teenagers to his new label Sound of Urban Listeners (SOUL).  In an interview with The New York Times, Firstborn called hip hop 'a state of mind' and Kamron said, 'we are at least two years ahead of our time'.

At the same time, the members of the Leaders of the New School were offered the option of performing as one of two group names chosen by The Bomb Squad: Leaders of the New School or Young Black Teenagers. When they were informed by The Bomb Squad that they were mentoring another crew who were interested in taking the L.O.N.S. name, both groups were told that they would have to battle for it. Both sides had to make a song called 'Fuck The Old School,' and who created the better song would win the L.O.N.S. designator. The loser would have to settle for Young Black Teenagers as their group name. After Rhymes and Brown's group earned the name Leaders of the New School, the white group was named Young Black Teenagers."

Star Fox sometimes reminds me of group projects in school
Fan comic of the Nintendo series StarFox

Panel 1: Peppy Hare gestures to formation diagrams, asking “and we all know what to do when the enemy’s on our tail, right?”

Panel 2: Slippy says “Fly in front of Fox and let him shoot them down!”
Falco says “Fly in front of Fox, and let him shoot ‘em down.”
Peppy says “Fly in front of Fox! Let him shoot them down!” 
Fox yells “s-somersault! You somersault!!”

I’d seen some wildly divided reactions to Angine de Poitrine online when I’d first heard of them, but I hadn’t got around to listening to them until tonight, and I’d’ve been onto this a lot faster if I’d known they’re essentially Primus on Hard mode (complimentary)

I’m currently down in Regina for the 2026 Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) Convention and am wondering if I have perhaps underestimated the finances involved in pickleball, walking past the Queen City Pickleball Hub customized stretch limousine

Back when I lived in Winnipeg, I would win fighting game tournaments with a first prize of twenty dollars and a handshake, so the pickleball players having their own limousine is an interesting concept to me.
