For you and your corps history that makes sense.
I have a piece of Hokie stone in my front yard. When you get off the boat, its one of the first things you see.
I also hang my game flag from my boat house over the canal every game day - you can't miss it!!
I also have all the typical Hokie stuff that most people have. Some of the stuff in this thread is great! Thanks for the great ideas!!
Go Hokies!

I lived right across the field that no longer exists that year in EAJ. Hell EAJ no longer exists in my mind for that matter...

I just really enjoy Easter Eggs like that. The little details really show the amount of time and effort that went into the show.

Also, if anyone wants to start reading older horror fiction, the one thing you have to keep in mind is that they got paid by the word. So even the best stories can drag on as the authors padded their word counts. This can sometimes be an obstacle for those just getting into that genre. Also, keep in mind when these stories were written, so rather unpleasant attitudes towards race, women, etc can rear their ugly heads.

The first story of that genre I read was "The Rats in the Walls" by H.P. Lovecraft. From there I was hooked. Besides, if it inspired some of Metallica's best work, it cannot be too bad. (In my mind, Metallica retired after "And Justice for All". They subsequently came out of retirement briefly enough to write "Enter Sandman" and promptly re-retired, thus cementing their legacy.)

UGH. I KNOW. In my day, WE used to dominate sprints and relays, a lot has changed.

NC State was expected to dominate relays. As far as top end speed and talent goes, only FSU can rival them. They have a huge pipeline to European talents. Their coach is also VT's former assistant (whom I swam under). He used to run our big meet preparation (and it always went terribly. he wrote a thesis on how tapering doesn't exist). It seems, however, that he's mastered it. NC State has been nothing short of stunning come game time these last two years.

Pretty sure no one else noticed that ya weirdo!

Totally kidding btw. As soon as I found out the yellow king was a reference to some old horror novel I had to look up. Kind of want to read it now.

It seems like the spirit of competition is spilling over into threads. Now, we not only have a QB competition, we also have a "QB competition thread" competition.

Competiception?

Anything that gets people reading old horror fiction is a plus in my book.

Chambers was a big influence on writers like H.P. Lovecraft who even mentioned Carcosa. Did you guys notice the Cthulu-octopus/swastika tattoo on Reggie Ledoux? I love the little touches like that that show up on this show.

I didn't make it too long either. Actually, I wonder if there's a way to see how many downvotes you've gotten? I'm kind of curious since I've made a few jokes that a few people didn't really like.

gotta be pretty cold playing baseball today.
