The mathlete team I coach rocked the regional tourney. We took first place in teams. We took 2nd and 3rd individuals. We place 4 kids in the top ten, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 8th.

We go to State in a few weeks. I would like to take credit, but the glory rightfully belongs to the kids. I am just glad I get to play a small part in the formation of the next generation of nerds.

I knew you could do it, Euler.

As such, I bestow upon you this shiny golden trophy of a perfect 30-60-90 right triangle. Conceptually.

¡Viva Archimedes, gringo! You did it. You fucking did it, man.

Nerds rule the world. We just use shiny frontmen as cover. Congratulations.

Is this MATHCOUNTS?

I placed first place regional individual back in 1997 for my level, and my team won first on the way to states as well.

We got pwned at states.

yeah, it is mathcounts. I know this is the internetz, so you have to take what I say with a grain of salt, buy srsly my wife is stupid hot. I always arrange for the team to meet her early in the year. After they wipe their little nerdy drool trails and ask me where I met her, I tell them that I met her at the nationals in mathcounts. All the girls at national math counts are smokin. It is hard to quatify, but their productivity increases greatly after that.

I didn't really win at nationals.

Editted to add: Oh and Stanely, srsly d00d. I think we would be bff in rl. You should come over. My wife makes good cup cakes. We could eat them by the dozens with salad tongs. I also have a ton of boot leg Phish and Dead albums and a dog.

I'd like you to know that I twisted my nipple as I read this.

Well, I didn't.

Congrats brother. I always loved competing from ROTC to science competitions and it stuck with me fof life (thus far).

Keep on doing what you're doing man.

The first thing I had was the 2600. what was the fairchild?

it had a little paddle with a knop that spun and I think a clicker button on the side. The only games I remember on it are pong, tennis, and some kind of flying saucer game. I think maybe berserk! was on it too...but that may have been atari.

There was a paddle set that came with the Indy 500 game. Same thing? All I see in your picture is a sexy red x

I got fired as an asst. coach. Nobody was happy with my weekly grade checks for the O-line. Lesson learned.
