This derives from the 2004 ICT at WUSTL. Various members of the Berkeley and UCLA teams joined me for a morning of bird observation. Much amusement ensued when the best bird of the day was unironically a yellow-bellied sapsucker.theMoMA wrote:David Farris's note to Jeff Hoppes about birdwatching. Someone with more knowledge should tell the oral history of this one.
If it helps, I don't recall anyone (other than, possibly, the weirdly intense Toronto team) being anything but nice to us at the 2007 Brock SCT. No ethnic slurs, no bizarre assertions that there might somewhere be a village called "The Massacre of Kiev", nothing. A great time was had by all.bsmith wrote:Somewhere around this time, Canadian quizbowl changed from "cute backwater" to "insufferable jerks", a dark age that lasted from roughly the first Ottawa Hybrid in 2005 to the 2009 VETO schism.
Hey, Bruce, don't rewrite too much of history -- John, Julia, Adam, and I won a fully honest UG title in St. Louis in 2008!Skepticism and Animal Feed wrote:The following picture of the 2008-2009 Harvard quizbowl team appeared in the Boston Globe. What I've found most striking about this picture is how it appears that Adam Hallowell is either the primary source of light, or is in the process of either being abducted by aliens or ascending to a higher plane of existance. Also in the back row you can see future ICT and ACF Nationals champion Dennis Loo, then serving as our team coach. (Everyone else in the picture is, notably, no longer an ICT champion of any kind).

I was thinking about "The Rib" when this photo was taken. For those who are unaware, 'The Rib" was a dish at Tam Tam, an African restaurant in Minneapolis. It has been described as "tasting like every type of meat" and it is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Sadly, Tam Tam is no more.theMoMA wrote:This is all the poorer for omitting Alice's accompanying caption: "I forget what we told him to think about for this picture; all I know is that the camera loves him."Cody wrote:The Ecstasy of David Seal
For further clarity, it was called the Hunter's Rib, and it was phenomenal. I was able to order it once, during the most awkward outing to the Walker Art Center ever, but no one was able to order it later* during the Chicago-Minnesota joint outing after ACF Fall 2008. I assume the baleful influence of Shantanu led directly to Tam Tam's closing soon thereafter.Demonic Leftovers wrote:I was thinking about "The Rib" when this photo was taken.

Another fun fact about this picture: It was taken during ICT 2007, and if you look closely, you'll see 18 year old me is holding a beer. After this picture was taken I told Alice, "Please don't post this to Facebook, my mom doesn't know I drink."
I am stunned (and incredibly happy) that there is a record of this. As I recall, this was either right before or right after we saw a poster for "Knocked Up," featuring a then-little-known Seth Rogen, and the David Seal/Seth Rogen similarities were first noticed.aliste wrote:Nothing in this thread even remotely compares to David Seal's "Bang Bang Boom" dance:
