It's a good thing no one wanted 'em.

I happened upon a clip of Green Day on one of those entertainment shows today, presumably connected to their industry-leading number of nominations for MTV Video Music Awards, and I realized that back in my junior year of high school, when everyone was talking about that band with the wacky guy who tears up the couch, I would have bet my left testicle and the attractive half of my right that those guys wouldn't be around in two years' time, much less when I was knocking on thirty's door.

Oops.
