@Louisa this is what you get for telling Justin to choke at quizbowl
@nsmckinnon listen... shut up
@Louisa absolutely—and I cannot stress this enough—not
@nsmckinnon 😌 and now I can rest
I will never choke (unless it's a high pressure moment and I need to remember the name of ultra-famous football man Tom Brady.)
@Quixote171 @Louisa I had forgotten that that happened, so I'm very grateful that you reminded us!
@Louisa @Quixote171 to paraphrase Clint Eastwood, I couldn't believe what happened, even as it was happening
@Quixote171 @nsmckinnon it's even worse when we know we should know it
@Louisa @Quixote171 I think I have achieved a level of Quizbowl Brain where this is no longer a problem for me, because I'm so used to having to be on my toes during class.
@nsmckinnon @Louisa
We've all been there, right?
Knowing you know it, but unable to dredge the name up from wherever it's been stored?
Why are our brains built this way?
