@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!
@nsmckinnon @Quixote171 TOM BRADY can you believe it
@Louisa @Quixote171 to paraphrase Clint Eastwood, I couldn't believe what happened, even as it was happening
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?
@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.
