People! People! Now I know it's rare that I speak up with anything more than tournament announcements and the occasional wiseass commentary, but just reading these messages from the past few days over a bowl of Grape Nuts and can of ginger ale got me to thinking. Oh yeah, you're gonna hear about it. When I was a freshman, the first message I ever sent out was about how I thought the circuit was a mean place with a lot of people who had to get a grip. It had a whole "can't we all just get along" spin, and I got absolutely railed on. Somebody said if I wanted such a happy place, I should take up knitting. Why am I telling you this, other than because I like telling pointless stories? When you go to a national tournament, or host one because your team really kinda sucks, you see that there's jerkoffs on the circuit, and there's nice people on the circuit. Sure, it'd be great if there was an equal number of both, but let's be honest here... My point is, if you think someone's a prick, either ignore their existence or mock them amongst your friends. It works! So leave Andy alone, unless he ran over somebody's dog or something. While we don't see much of him much up here in the Northeast and I don't know him personally, I'd imagine he has both redeeming qualities and those not quite so warm and fuzzy. If I'm wrong, feel free to let me know... :) Look at his message in the proper context. He wrote that, "This circuit needs an emotional enema." Think about that. Think of the people you know on this circuit, and imagine them getting an enema. That should calm you down. Jon Couture BU College Bowl (But am I speaking for them? I sure hope not...)
