i don't know what's more impressive - mark's reference to roger barker, considering hafer only got to bern township elementary halfway through the year that saw the exit of roger barker, or the fact that hafer reminds every single person we both meet that i was crying like a bitch in mrs. tranquillo's class the first day he met me. just so we're clear, i was only crying because school was so fucking easy for me it was unbearable, considering my relative 7 year-old genius. or maybe it was because my glow-in-the-dark sweatshirt of stars and planets wasn't working. either way, it was totally justified.
on a serious note. what does everyone think of steering the games a more "mature" direction? by this, of course, i don't mean stop talking trash or anything. i mean, why don't we play for something concrete? each team has a "registration fee," which is basically just a donation they raise on their own, and each team has a charity they favor. whoever wins, their charity wins as well. so for example, dane will argue for the humane society so pegleg, food-hiding, couch-burrowing mutts like anton continue to find homes, while carl will argue for the center for the preservation of lesser-known schuylkill valley athletes from 2002-2007. they'll have to hash it out amongst themselves.
i figure since we have the dedicated experience of veteran "canner" matt mccowan, we'll easily be able to paint our faces and raise some dough for a worthy cause (go state!). this will allow us to do some interesting things. in my experience with beer festivals, i've learned that charity events pretty much allow you to get money for absolutely anything. i.e. beer festivals can get an otherwise impossible-to-get liquor license in downtown public areas simply because they're donating to charity. if we found someone with a decent camera and some iVideo (or whatever its called) skillz, we could also make a commemorative dvd of each year's events, documenting the shit-talking through the championship. all because it's for charity. also, sponsorship for things like those t-shirts we talked about would be way easier - and maybe i could even get a small beer donation from troegs (or maybe not). anyway, it's worth a look. MULL it over and let me know...
and go tickle your own taints. cheers!

I know quite the video maker. He goes by the name Greg Hafer. It may be possible to coax him out into the sunlight to produce our video.
Also I think Brooks was crying because he knew that in only half a years time I would come close to catching him in star stickers that Mrs. Tranquillo only deals out to 7 year old super geniuses.
I also realized that SV's solution to 7 year old super geniuses is to take them out of class and stick them with a middle-aged man who smells like burbon and cigars. This way they wouldn't be in class making everyone else feel stupid. Instead they would out in the LGI riding around on chairs, turned over benches or anything else that looks cool in stop motion but ridiculous in real life.

I think all of these ideas are pretty good and attainable. Moerder and I actually convinced Sheetz to sponsor the games years ago.
Besides the Reuters coverage I displayed a few posts ago, I think some media would also be interested. Every year, Comcast SportsNet does a summer stops tour at events much like ours. Also, Chris mentioned to me that Rich Scarcella (father of forgotten SV athlete Eric Scarcella, Class of '05) might have some pull for us in the Reading Eagle.
Couple the charity with media coverage, and in 10 years from now, CNN satellites could be stationed in the mushroom plants' parking area.
Or CNN satellites could be in space, where satellites are supposed to be!
You suck goat ballz!
Team HaferMillerRiegel RULZ!
Mrs. Tranquillo hates me ever since I destroyed her high score in columns.
Fucking Carl would make that charity. And fuck you, Anton has a heart and he needs love just like your wide eyed piece of shit, Kesey.
I remember Roger Barker. He always ran and slid on his knees when it was raining at soccer.
