 | | OhioChessFan: It's been a long time comin', I got to tell you. Ah been used to gettin' whatever it is ah want in life, but some things just got to be earned. A spot in the Hall of Fame has got to be the highlight of my career. Ah'd have traded all my gold records and awards and stuff just for a plaque on the wall, but Yoda wouldn't let me. Told me ah had to earn it. Ah gotta tell you, it was worth it. Ah feel like ah can go take on the world and a few gazillion of them Seperadits.....errr......Setaparists....them one fellas. I hope my man Yoda here can give me some a that light saber trainin'. That'd be really cool next time I go to karate class. Whit, whit, whit, haha, ahaha, whit, whit, whit. Haha, huh huh, watch me cut up this jelly doughnut, whit, whit, haha. Wonder if it could get through these sideburns. Probly not. Whit, whit, whit.........whoa, this suit's a bit tight to be running around like this, haha, huh huh, ahaha. Ummmmmm, where was I? Oh yeah, ah am so honored today and to be in this Hall of Fame is the greatest thing to ever happen to a little ole boy from Tupelo Mizzippi. Thank you, thank you very much. |

I don't remember even medaling in this contest before, where I've been really bad. |

However, I ask that you look it over a couple of times yourself to see if I made any errors (missed a tournament, incorrectly counted a medal, etc.). Oh, and if any links don't work, just clear your ignore list. :) |
