Ok, this is going to be disconnected. But that's because I have a concussion, fell 3.5 feet in front of the statesman only to hit the back of my head on the sidewalk, and things are echoing in my head and my ears are ringing, im nauseous, and Eric won't let me drink. I'm also out of cigarettes. But Storey and Helen are driving me to post. Through my concussion.

i. I didn't write it. I have a concussion. Ive been moving to a new apartmment. I've been in either hyper-nationals mode or in mental breakdown for 2 weeks. I didn't post the damn smash. If I did, I wouldn't use bravepages - my sister uses them, and i dont like them.

ii. Max was offering $100 for the author to come forward. We're fucking poor.

iii. alright, im too dizzy to remember the rest. all i know is that this is an admitted publication of Pat Nichols, seemingly in direct response, with different jokes, different slants, and whatever.

This is brief interlude from Eric. You'll be returned to your regularly scheduled Kate upon the next post to this site. She is recovering from a mini-concussion, give the girl a break!

So the reason I want to post here is that some peope (*ahem - Storey, *ahem - Erin) think that I put up the Smash. While I really appreciate the humor and politics of this fine publication (which is dead on for the most part), I can't have done it. Here's why:

a) I don't know HTML. I don't know how to do webpages. I can only figure out how to use Blog with Kate over my shoulder. I could not put up a site that looks that nice, and if I could, I'd be making a little more money than I do now.

b) I have a full time job. It may not be a fun job. It may not be a challenging job. But it does take up 40 hours a week and by the time I get home, I do not have the energy to do ANYTHING that complicated!

c) I like to keep my humor private. Those of you who know me well know how much I love telling stories face to face. Often the same stories repeated over and over again (insert APDA rest home joke here). If I did this, my stories would lose what little new audience they had left. Has anyone not heard some of these rants??? Danielle, I know you want to hear them again ;-)

d) I graduated. I really don't care THAT much.

e) I was not at Glasgow worlds. I was unconscious for over half of Toronto worlds with a 104 degree fever and barely remember it as a consequence.

f) On cop-in-a-box. Yes, Kate and I rant about that more than most people. HOWEVER, I told at least 25 people in a giant circle about the round at Princeton alone, within 10 minutes of the round being over. Kate has posted here many times about cop-in-a-box. Anyone, could make fun of this round. (PS - huge props to Drew and Storey for having the guts to run that in an out-rounds, my GOD!)

My theory about who it is....
1) It CANNOT be Pat Nichols. My main indication (beside the obvious southern slant) is that Pat could not know about some of these stories. There is a reference to the Danielle/Rahul story from UMBC 1998. He was not at this tournament and was not even on APDA at this time. While he could have heard about this story, I find it unlikely that the story spread that far north. Same goes for the scathing criticism of Glasgow worlds. As far as I know he was not there either. Finally, hasn't he been trying to fix his hacked website? And doesn't he have finals? And isn't he working on fixing the forum? Where would he possibly have the time to do this as well???

2) It cannot be Emily Bernstein/Messner. She has a full time job at the Washington Post. She certainly does not have the time to do this. She has also been off the league for two years and some of the humor is too current to be her.

3) It cannot be Kate. I think I would have noticed. Right, Kate?

4) It cannot be Adam Unikowski. I find the Smash to be hillarious. Someone I do not know at all could not agree with my APDA political outlook and my sense of humor that well. If he did, why haven't I met him?

So who could it be? My bet is Matt McMillan. He has a southern APDA political bias. He has been at all the tournaments reference in the Smash. Old stories (i.e.: Danielle/Rahul) he would have heard as he goes south more often than not. Now I admit that I don't know if he knows HTML, but if he does... I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

Anyway, that's all. Back to your regularly scheduled Kate. But first...

So, Eric and I didn't move today. However, instead, I'm going to cook him carribean steak. We also went to National to drop Manoj offf. He told he I impose my ideas on other people. I'm curious if this is a widely held view.

On the way home from there, Eric and I stopped off at Arlington Cemetary, walked up and down hills, saw the Tomb of the Unknowns change the guard (watched one dsoldier screw it up), the mast of the Maine, JFK's flame, the out-of-place women's memorial, and William Howard Taft's gravestone. You can clearly see what was the highlight of the trip.

On Time...


I just want to put one rant on here. Debate is over for the year. I know this. but I want to say one thing.

A couple people, when I judged rounds, especially outrounds, with the same "put down the pen" standard that we judged in-rounds with looked at me funny. Like, "why is she still doing that silly thing that she put on us for in-rounds." Time is essential to debate. Anyone can defeat any argument with an unlimited amount of preparation and speaking time. Look at philosophy. And the history and progression of it. Debate is not about developing a correct philosophy. If you talk to Eric, its not about philosophy at all. We cannot do justice to a full set of historical principles within the time confines we put on ourselves.

What debate is about is taking the setup that we place ourselves in and proposing a change to the status quo within that time. I know that I need to work on this as much as the next person, but i think its an important thing to work towards. Use websites and stoners conversations to defend philosophies. Use the time in debate to prove nothing but your case.

I stand by my judges at my tournament. I'm not being self-righteous, but when a judge comes and tell me his RFD for a round, and I thien independently get the same RFD from another judge in that same round who made the same decision and was not protested for it, then I need some justification for that protestation. Especially when the protested and the protester are both people that I love very much. One more than the other, yes, but enough to stand up for both of them. I think getting bitter about one judge and letting that, not the fact that he voted against you, spoil your last round ever is more of a travesty than actually losing.

This is my last word on the subject (unless I talk to some people personally) and
my last word on nationals. If you didnt want me to host it, if you didnt want my judges there, my tab staff, my everything, than someone else should have come up and hosted it. I know i did a good job, and not everyone is happy, but that hopefully with time people will look back on the bigger picture.

Nationals Is Over!!!!


Just a couple reflections on the weekend…

Friday was great. Nice, worked well, made me really happy.
Saturday and Sunday were just a series of excitements and heartbreaks. I figured also, I just can’t handle the third day of an event. I have run (or helped run) seven tournaments and five youth rallies, plus a leadership weekend. Only LW and Nationals have had a 3rd day. LW I got mono right after, and Nationals made me collapse for 24 hours.

Other than that, several memorable things for the weekend…APDA Superlatives, ala Kate Myers
Funniest Moment of the Weekend:Energy Deregulation in Kazakstan…
Fucking Dickwad Category: Those people who complained to me, knowing that there was nothing at all I could do, plus those people who made judging complaints and made my life hell for me, plus 2 people on Saturday who needed to be scratched from me. Well, one of you scratched me too. You didn’t protest when I was in your semi.
Number One Person to Make Me Cry for Good Reasons: Storey Clayton
Number One Person to Make Me Cry for Bad Reasons: Storey Clayton
Question Stor: Did I ever tell you about my thought for Eric’s senior speech? About 3 months ago? I might have. If so, I claim full credit. :)
Happiest Person/People alive: Andrea Haney, Thane Rehn, Eddie Parrilon, Emily Garin
People who complimented my tournament: Mr and Mrs Yoni
Major props to: Amy and Julian-for running what they love, and getting my vote on the tabula rosa judge, and amazing PMR.
People who I liked who now make me cry: Jeff Williams, Ryan Hecker, Greg Wilson

All in all, the tournament was great. I did decide, after running 7 tournaments, 5 youth rallies, and a leadership weekend that I just can’t handle the 3rd day of an event. LW I got mono afterward, nats I slept all day.

Also, there are some people who need to get over themselves. I want to hear no more complaints about judging. Especially from people who say “we’re not here to convince judges, we’re here to convince people. I know you said it, cause I heard you and have your notes (im being passive aggressive, screw me ) Also, I don’t want to hear any more damn complaints about the unbiasedness of judging. All that Jessa and Greg ran off of was name, scratches, and experience in debate. A junior, by that standard, ought be judging before a sophomore. And that sophomore told fucking tab he was a dino. Fuck you. I also don’t care that one of you had broken and not the other two juniors. I’d like to ask if any of y’all would have given Chicago the chance in Quarters.

Also, I want to issue an apology to Andrea and Thane if the judging problems before their semi threw them off more than the semifinal debating itself. I fully believe that was the case. It also made me sad to see our tab observer feel like he needed to be more active than he did at Bryn Mawr, especially in terms of judging and favoritism towards judges from his school. I don’t know if that’s entirely true, but that’s just my observation.

Cinderella Story and the proof that UMBCIII was NOT busted on personal bias: Andrea Haney, thane Rehn

Finally- I’m fine with people being honest, or mean in senior speeches. Two observations though: First, to echo Amy: if you hated debate, why did you stay? Second: and this isn’t meant as a personal indemnification of the two who did it, because I support what they did: why use senior speeches as a soapbox to echo why we’re leaving APDA. Seniors ought be leaving APDA for graduation or the end of eligibility. If you want to rant, pick a different venue. That’s just my opinion for future peoples.

All in all, nationals was wonderful, and full of heartbreak. Lots of heartbreak.

I slept for a full day. Now I’m getting my life back in order (and no, Julian, I couldn’t fix the mid-east crisis in an afternoon, but mainly because I don’t know shit about other countries) and going back to class Thursday! Yay! Oh wait….

Finally, debate is great! I’m going to be doing it for the rest of my life, in both organized and non-organized fashions, so I better love it.

Cop-In-A-Box Thought of the Day


So, we were thinking of other things to put in the box. Specifically, after seeing Princeton final round and high school debate, the Philosopher-in-a-box, or the state-department-hack-in-a-box seem appropriate - that way they're always on hand when you need them, and summonable with a pull of a string or a push of a button.

First, this weekend we judged high school debate. Yes - high school debate (and speech, too) in a rather sketchy tournament, that out of deference to the people running the busted district, i wont put any further commentary on that part of that thing here. But, some great highlights of the weekend....

"Thomas the scooter goes uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppp...... Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Can you explain what you mean by the criterion of sexual gratification?"

"I support the premise of sexual gratification."

"I will give you my car."

"We're still going to teach them about sex. We're just going to remove the physical manifestations of sex."

"My value will be making the world a better place. My criterion will be censorship."

"There are certain universal truths out there that only I know."

"Did you bring any porn with you for us to look at?"

"Look at the abortion debate - You're either pro-life, or pro-choice, no real middle ground. One of the sides has to be correct, therefore there are universal truths."

It shouldnt have to be a "big name" or a "big school" hosting Nationals. We're certainly not a big school, or a big name, and god help me if I am. I actually thinks its better because the (no offense guys) majority of "big aPDA names" or known people on APDA don;t do shit witht heir own team. That's a problem. You need people like Jenna who want to do the work to do all the work. So I like a smith nationals and will do everything in my power to support it :) Brandeis can go do northams.

Helen says she doesn't understand the internal politics of the South. By that, she means GW, as none of the other internal political machines were there ;). GW is an easy political machine to figure out - they go to the bathroom in groups, they fight in packs - they're all girls! If one individual truly upsets them, or hurts one of them, they all turn on that individual. Visciously. Its actually kinda cute.

All in all, chicago was kinda fun - you know, being the one seed is fun, but hitting the 2 seed in semis for some inexplicable reason sucks.

Shamelessly Stolen From Amy - It was Too Good To Pass Up...
Cop In Box!

Two hypothesis:
a) the Cop In A Box is Gary Coleman
b) The box does not haev anti-graffitti devices on it, and graffitti is not as big of a problem to drive the cop from the box.

Better than Storey's....

The original 64-team single-elimination fight to the finish....

Taking into account all-importantly hybrids, and regional considerations. A team stayed in its region if it had priority, if not, it moved to the next closest region. Pro-Ams was eliminated arbitrarily, due to "strength of schedule" conflicts, as its strength was artificially controlled. It was also considered taking F+M off for similar reasons, but we elected not to. In order to best accomoodate growing schools, hybrids and inanimate objects were taken into account. Now its time for bed.

Eire Duck's Introspection

"-Also, major thanks to Kate for a most illuminating discussion of Cop-in-a-box. Check her page for great details on the hijinks that were quarters. Though she seems to join many people in thinking that cop OUT of box is a better case. This strikes me as lunacy."

Stor, cop-out-of-box is not a good case - its a good COUNTERcase, cause you make fun of the box. Finally, is cop-in-a-box retired? Its up there with "you're mao - don't invade czecheslovakia in 1968."

the rest of the weekend


-after taking pictures with GB and that crazy tiger, we head out of princeton (making an unobtrusive and quick exit) to the parking lot, get in the car, ready for food and a trip home.
-we get to the parking lot circle and discover we have a flat. boo.
-We limp to the gas station, and i change the tire to put the donut on (Eric doesnt know how) and wave to the SCDS van as it drives by and doesnt see us.
-We then see that no tireplace is open, as its like 10:30, and limp to Macaroni Grill.
-Eric and I settle to have a nice quiet birthday dinner. We see Adam come out of the bathroom in the almost empty restaurant, but we just wave, elect not to say hi, and just have a private dinner.
-Until, their waiter comes over with a tall drink and says "the gentleman over at that other table said that this was for GoldenBear." Then we went over and laughed and said hello.
-Its nice getting a nice gesture from people who you aren't really friends with (read-not friends doesnt =enemies) and who you justbeat in an election. It gives me hope for the human race.
-And since Eric had to drive home, I had to drink the bellini all by my lonesome - goldenbear wasnt thirsty :)

Once home...
-Ah, easter with my parents - trying to find a tire place, finally just filling it with air and driving home.
-All good until the engine starting revving too much and the check engine light popped on - not exactly the best car from bargain buggies ever :)
-But angela made it home with us, and my body reminded me that i'm a non-breeding female, so life is all good!

Princeton, Continued


Alright, so now I'm going to go through and finish editing the weekend...

-apparently in my really really drunken sleep i kept rolling away from Eric and on top of brian. Weird.
-nothing like some saturday morning MG holes. I like dont know him, but its annoying to lose when the MG drops everything.
-5th round - abolish public colleges - make it impossible for me to go to school....and we won! :)
-Happy Birthday Eric!
-Alright, this deserves a section all its own....if you haven't heard about the Cop in a Box case, you need to.
Storey and Drew vs. Marcus and Specian in quarters...The resolution is something about more policing...
Drew gets up and is like, "We want cops on planes. but not just on planes - we want to put them in a box, with a radio, openable only from the inside, and with some sort of long-distance weapon, like a gun or (long distance?) taser. BU gave a spirited, by which I mean (sorry guys) not very strong opp - the best thing tho was when Marcus accidentally called it a lockbox, and it was that for the rest of the round....important opps for if you hit a cop-in-box case...
Clarifications
~how big is the box?
~does it have a fridge?
~does it have air conditioning?
~does it have a bathroom?
~does it get cable?
~is it bulletproof?
~does it have surveillance equipment?
~who can it communicate with?
~Does it have a seperate heating system from the rest of the plane?
~Seperate ventilation?
~How much does the box cost?
~How much does the cop cost?
~How much does the fox cost?
~How much does the pot cost?
~can he smoke in the box?
~does he get plastic silverware or the first-class (or Iceland Air) real silverware?
~can i smoke in the box?
~is the box in the front or back of the plane?
~do people know where the box is?
~what shape is the box?
~Are you still reading?
~Is social security in the lockbox?
~Is al gore in the lockbox?
~Is the lockbox labelled "lockbox - cop inside?"
~What about "this end up"?
Once we have all of those settled, we can move on to the real opps...
*Countercase - cop - no box!!!! Back it up with whatever is missing from the clarifications, and add in the "international flights are really really long for a cop in a box" opp.
*Even if you want to keep the box, how about the "hole in the side of the plane" argument - guns can do that.
There are others...you can fill in your own...
-Worst part of that round...Eric and I were the only ones laughing!! Kevin found it amusing every now and again, as did fish, and eddie and steve cracked up -- once -- - but no one else found it amusing, sep shot us dirty looks (I'm sorry!) but we just kept laughing every time they said "lockbox."
-More through the tournament - making people cry - thumbs down, and if you're reading this, you know who you are. Decent people, no matter what they think are the circumstances, don't do that.
-wow-so i finally met some of storey's friends, and they seem to be pretty cool - i only talked to fish even briefly, but he's cool...didnt expect him to be blonde, but its prolly a james-esque job.
-Who else can we put in the lockbox? John Rawls - so he can come out and explain philosophy to Eric and Jay and also the damn "liberal society" - this lockbox, however, would be openable only from the outside - so that way, we could lock it in there until it had fucking defined itself, and we wouldnt have to listen to any more cases ambiguous about what liberal means. :)
