  1. Aren't we supposed to wait till 3 minutes before the tournaments start for this thread?
  2. That durned @Wrestleknownothing. I expect better. I'm gonna say it was the bourbon talking.
  3. I have no idea what that is. I think the author was saying that many people read something like this until they get to a part where they nod their head up and down, and quit reading. Hence the Rorschach reference. We are all like that. As we can readily see, some more than others. OK, a little fun: A mom and dad were concerned that their teenage son spent all his time thinking about girls. They took him to a Psychiatrist, who gave the teen the Rorschach test. The Psychiatrist shows the kid the first ink blob and asks, What do you see? The kid says, A naked chick!! Another blob, same thing. Six blobs, kid excitedly sees six naked girls. The Psychiatrist is frustrated, wads all the ink blots up and throws them in the wastecan. The kid shouts, Hey are you throwing those away? Can I have them? Rorschach baby.
  4. Heartwarming story. I especially liked his teammates welcoming him back after States. That says a lot. I see that he is seeded #1 at 110lbs in Div 1 (large schools) in the NYS championships. The kid he pinned last year in the finals is seeded #2.
  5. Important for anyone who didn't finish reading the whole article, the last paragraph: "Ultimately Calhoun’s work functions like a Rorschach blot—people see what they want to see. It’s worth remembering that not all lab experiments, especially contrived ones such as Universe 25, apply to the real world. In which case, perhaps the best lesson to learn here is a meta-lesson: that drawing lessons itself can be a dangerous thing."
  6. Is there a maximum number of ellipses allowed on the board... Per thread... Per post... Per member... per day... week... lifetime ??? Asking for a friend...
  7. Those 2500 people should eat more fiber. Oatmeal, etc. Guaranteed photo finish everytime.
  8. I'm guessing the dirt is covering up all the Flower Power stickers???
  9. I forgot to add... Intermat Forum thinks I'm a College Starter, so I got that goin' for me.
  10. And, how is it easier? I try to not expose myself to identity theft as much as possible by paying cash in person, etc. I also probably buy less online than most. Even with that I bet there's a dozen companies I'd have to change my CC info with. I know because my wife and I moved and I had to update our address on more places than I thought. But... "To each his own" said the old lady as she kissed the cow.
  11. I would suspect if I were lucky I may be in the 20th percentile on here. I wrestled Jr High (I'm that old) in 7th and 8th grades. 9th grade was still Jr High but I made Varsity so another kid and I got bussed to the High School (that was a big deal). I thought I was hot crap till I got stuck in my first match. I was probably a little over .500 for 9, 10, 11 grades. My highlight was beating the defending Sectional champ from our crosstown rival in 11th grade. He also happened to be my girlfriend's brother and a pompous ass, so it was extra cool. I didn't go to HS after that. Oh, I just remembered... I won an intramural (?) tournament my second year in college, I think. All I remember is in the finals I beat another Physics major, so in hindsight the weight class probably wasn't loaded, lol.
  12. In the Flo interview I thought Mike Grey looked like he'd had a bad night. Guilt?
  13. Some songs have great lyrics. Some have great musicians. Very few have both.
  14. I know. He just can't catch a break. The world always seems to be against the great ones. Jim Jones, David Koresh, Jim and Tammy Faye, Paul Reubens, Trump...
  15. Kinda makes me wonder if a certain alumnus who previously coached in Upstate NY and is currently coaching on the west coast had instead coached at UNC starting many years ago. Oh well, coulda, shoulda, woulda.
  16. I'm not a UNC fan, but I agree 100% with what you said. In fact, I've almost started a thread a couple times to say pretty much exactly what you just did. The only reason I didn't is too many times that type of thing gets blown way out of proportion. It's certainly a mystery to me. Maybe it's a matter of someone high up at UNC didn't want competition for the BB team?? (Not that that would be a problem this year, lol.)
  17. Orine 4 back points. 9-1. Final 10-1 Orine with RT. Final 28-6. NCS. Embarassing security by ACCN. 70 year old guy stops by Chapel Hill, takes a free shot, and rides off into the sunset.
  18. 3-1 Orine. Good scramble. Rock Harrison almost strips a gear. TD Orine. 5-1.
  19. Timeout. Had to open dishwasher... 133. #18 Orine NCS v Palmer UNC. TD Orine. Esc 2-1.
  20. 8-5 (?) Wagner final. 24-6 NCS.
