This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

how about Micelli and the bowling ball? by ayerish
Heard this from ol black Matt himself, so it may not be totally true. Guys that lived right above him used to annoy him by rolling a bowling ball back and forth. He would always run up to catch them in the act, but never could. They played dumb, said it must have been someone in the hallway. One day, he is primed and ready, he surges up the stairs, and there it is-- the ball, just sitting there in the hallway. He leaps over to it, only to find it is about 400 degrees, as the students had baked the ball before leaving it for him to find. "Ahhh Fellas."
