  1. Or? Has topshot hacked Vak's account? Kind of like a Vak Attack.
  2. I am one of maybe a dozen people who saw that movie in the theater.
  3. And West Virginia is east of Kentucky. Up is down. Black is white.
  4. The Go West young man quote is attributed to a writer in The Terra Haute Express so I will have to allow it.
  5. May the wrath of @jajensen09 be merciful in its swift administration of justice.
  6. I have never included wrong answers and never will.
  7. I know Pennsylvania and Iowa like to debate which state is the Mecca of wrestling. Well, @flyingcement and I are here to tell you that they are a pair of pretenders. If you want to score points we have some time tested advice for you. Go West, young man, Go West. Get ye to the north of the Dakotas. Combining flyingcement's geographic data (I cannot imagine how much work that was) with Intermat's latest rankings and my expected points per seed tells us how many points per million residents each state is expected to contribute to their team's totals. So, @VakAttack if you really want to put an end to Penn State's despotic rule you need to get the Brands brothers (Brands of Brothers?) to recruit a ND wrestler at every weight.
  8. Oops. Missed tbat he already replied.
  9. Data behind the location graph. Nigeria really needs to step it up.
  10. @flyingcement and yours truly have teamed up to bore you to tears knock your socks off with our combined wrestling wrestling data sets. Warning: one of us claims to defy the laws of physics and the other can't tell his ass from his elbow, so take it for what it is worth. Using the airborne concrete data listing the hometown state of every D1 wrestler, first we present where all the wrestlers are coming from. The first graph shows the count of wrestlers by hometown state. We already knew about Pennsylvania high school wrestling and why recruiting the NE is so important. But the number of wrestlers coming out of California cannot be ignored. However, this is just half of the story. If I have to fly all the way to California I will need to sift through a lot of people to find the wrestlers. Will it be worth my time? OK, let's see what things look like when we normalize for population. I guess I need to find a connecting flight to California, preferably one with a stop over in Iowa. And every team needs to have a recruiter stationed in Alaska. More to come. I will fold the expected points data in with the location data to see where the points are coming from at NCAAs. Any other ideas? I am open to persuasion.
  11. Right after the OED smacks down M-W, Collins comes sneaking up from behind and smashes a folding chair across OED's back. Then Collins jumps on top for the cheap fall (or is it pinfall?) which the hapless stooge of a ref calls even though it is so clearly against the rules.
  12. Love it when we get dueling dictionaries. I have Oxford English in a major decision over Merriam-Webster. Noah Webster was a punk.
  13. It gets worse. He gave me a red breast...in her presence.
