Letter to Harvard Coach

[Josh '99]

OK Age, I gotta know, where do you get these icons?  The coffee one, in particular, I'd use all the time.

Not as easy to find as you'd expect. Took a lot of digging and have gathered them up from a bunch of different sites. Try searching on google for 'posticons'. There are a bunch that I haven't included in the message posting section because they're pretty large and don't want them loading every time, but I especially like

::starwars::

I'll make a popup window with a listing of all of them at some point.

Precisely how many times do I have to tell you you can't put tags in here, Hayes?

Gee, I'm so glad I fixed that. I'm censoring that graphic in the name of better taste.

> That is a bit over the top.

Even as a "Defender of the Right to Talk Dirty," I don't think it's so over-the-top.  Plenty of people are offended by profanities that the rest of us use without even thinking about it.  Say "darn" in my aunt's house and... well, my aunt's 80 and can't hear, but you get the point.

I didn't want to start a new post just for this, so I figured I would find one where it was appropriate.  Even if it was a 3 1/2 year old thread to retell a story I read about Mazz.  It came out of a discussion regarding tilting and expressing frustration in poker:

We had a tough hockey loss on the road once and our coach (Mark Mazzoleni...currently the coach at Harvard...good-guy actually) was all flustered in our interview.
"I'm not going to name names...but our experienced guys have to get out there and be LEADERS. As I said...I'm not going to pont the finger because I don't want to name names....but it's the experienced guys....the seniors... Jeremy Bautch, Alex Kim, CJ Buzzell...man they stunk tonight. but I'm not going to name names" (I seriously don't think he realized that he just DID name names).

The whole time he's doing this he just grabs some random wire and is twisting it around his finger. Just fiddling basically. His finger's turning purple because he's wrapping it so tight...and he doesn't realize that it's the freaking PHONE wire and I swear he's about to yank me off the air.
I don't dare try to grab it from him though because I think he'll freaking pound me if I even move (much less risky to my life to just let him yank the connection if that was what he was going to do).

After a few seconds with his finger turning a REALLY weird purple-blue he lets go of the wire and says live, "I'm sorry...I can't talk about this anymore...I'm just sick right now"....gets up...slams the chair knocking a couple non-essential bits of equipment around. etc etc.
Good stuff. Kind of scary at the time though.

Welcome to the internet, which keeps your dirty laundry around forever.

FWIW, do a Google News search for "Kyle Rose" and laugh your ass off.

Cheers,

 I assume that twice driving 1000+ miles each way to see Cornell play in holiday tournaments, and listening to nearly every game for two seasons when I was in Switzerland and they started at 1am local time exempts me from the ticket line requirement and qualifies me as an honorary Faithful despite my not having caught on to the joys of Cornell hockey until I was a couple of years out of college.[/q]

You missed some great hockey if you graduated in '91!!  It's a little ironic that you're such a big fan now, better late than never.

Hey, I didn't go to a single hockey game until my senior year (92-93) and didn't have season tickets until the following year.  Yet somehow I still got completely sucked in to the extent that i check this web site about two dozen times a day in June.  Never underestimate the power of Lynah!

...not to mention running your own Cornell hockey website for a while.

I got nothing. Just some stuff about a Kyle Rose that I'm pretty sure isn't you.

Sorry, by "News" I mean "Groups", which used to be DejaNews, which came from Usenet (a term I haven't heard anyone use in years).
