Re: The Society for the Discontinuation of the Pentathlon
Well, Mystery Architecture was only around for one year this time around... I don't think that only being around for one year is enough reason for them to keep an event.
Oh, and your sig, the pessimism bit, is amazing- we have this running joke on our team about one of the members two years ago who has "magic pessimism". At Nats in '07, there were two events that he said he failed- he predicted 40th-60th in both of them- and he got 1st in one and 5th or something in the other.

Re: The Society for the Discontinuation of the Pentathlon
hehe.
He actually predicts last in Disease at every competition. It's either "Oh, we failed, it was hard", or "Oh, it was too easy, everyone probably did better".
Then he got 1st in 9th grade, and 3rd this year.
Sadly, his predicition of 40-60 in herpetology was correct (47)
But that's ok, we always trust in his magic pessimism. By that we mean that we always trust that he's wrong.

Re: The Society for the Discontinuation of the Pentathlon
Yeah, thankfully my team had the last time slot. I actually didn't think the grass was that bad when my teammate and I walked by in the morning. I guess the only part it really mattered for were the four-person skis and the broom activities. Quite a shame that they're actually continuing this event.49ers wrote:yeah well, it was kinda slick... and all of the equipment was soggy or fogged up or something of the kindEASTstroudsburg13 wrote:It wasn't that bad, it was only drizzling.

Re: The Society for the Discontinuation of the Pentathlon
I agree in the entirity!!! Our team bombed this event and I believe without this event, we would have finished 8th overall at states!!1
