Be advised the link from previous page works now.
So does this one, which is a hilarious allusion to the search for WMDs. It worked for Charlie on Thursday.

ALSO ... thank you to Marie for the cookie.... it was quite enjoyable.... and helped me bust out for 9 in the first quarter in the 3rd place game but then it wore off and I sucked.

That and you announced your name when you timekept in round 2 for us.East Buc & UMR wrote: I was pretty easy to pick out, i was the only one that wore a "nametag"
Yeah, Kent, the thing is, I knew who you were which was odd (though, I'm _not_ the type to just walk up to someone and ask something completely randomly). You were the only person from Notre Dame I knew, so I just assumed.

The f***in math killed us. Does anyone know how to boost math ability or a practice tech. or something? Oh well, we did have a fr., Logan, who gets lost in a mall, and does not come back on time, so I had to hunt him down.

Only one solution - do math, do math, do math. Skill and speed come with practice.

I finally used a good strategy today: buzz in about 2 seconds before you will have the answer calculated. That way once you're recognized you'll have worked the remaining little calculation you needed to make (such as the first two digits of a multiplication problem)

Good strategy.
Bad strategy: buzz in about 4 seconds before you have the answer, get it simplified to the square root of 20, and then have to blurt out "4 radical 5" to beat being called time. This is especially a bad thing to do in the fourth quarter of the state championship game.

Well, if anybody cares, click here for pictures of Liberty after our win. They aren't cropped or downsized any so they are anywhere from 400-650 KB.

Let's play a game: find Matt!
This one's hard...
Oh yeah, and how does it feel to be on the cover of the program?
If I didn't know better... I'd almost say that was Uncle Mike on the left hand side of the screen...

Yes. When I saw them, I thought, "Hmm, well if it's still the 2004 championships, that means I can play, right?"

Yeah. We also mention this as well: since Michael skipped freshman year, he technically still has a year of eligibility left if he became a super-senior. But of course there would probably be a problem if that were the only reason he stayed an extra year.DeckardCain wrote: Yes.

yeah.... wouldn't that be just a little boring for him..... I would hate staying around an extra year.... it would just be disgusting

Class 4 was much more balanced this year, but a lot of 1-2 teams.
Round robin totals:
1. Liberty 3-0, 1480 pts
2. Parkway Central 3-0, 1280 pts
3. Eureka 2-1, 1100 pts
4. Helias 1-2, 825 pts
5. Jackson 1-2, 735 pts
5. Fort Zumwalt West 1-2, 735 pts
7. Nixa 1-2, 695 pts
8. Lee's Summit 0-3, 515 pts
Helias was in a similar situation as Cape Central was in 2002. They lost their first two games to PCH and FZW, and had to win their third game by a good margin to make the finals. Surprisingly enough they made the afternoon by a sizable 90 points. Their good performance against PCH is why they made it (it was their highest score of the day)

Class 3 round robin results
1. WCA 3-0: 1395
2. Savannah 2-1: 1335
3. Notre Dame 2-1: 1190
4. El Dorado 2-1: 575
5. Lexington 1-2: 800
6. Osage 1-2: 575
7. Ava 1-2: 490
8. Bowling Green 0-3: 550
Other than the fact that El Dorado didn't do nearly as well as I had thought, the scores were a lot lower than I remembered.
Oh, and we got 100 points lower in each successive game, which I hadn't noticed til I typed them up. 565-465-365.

Well, he was joking about me being poetry champ because of a certain poem I wrote to a certain someone. I do write poetry, but I've never actually entered a contest.
