The last Middle School Wrestling meet of the year was yesterday. I took my camera to record the event. Mostly, we got beat pretty badly. There were lots of pins. But we did have one wrestler who pinned all three of his opponents. I got a picture of his third pin. Way to go, Josh!
There are other things to report as well. Right after school, a sandwich bag filled with mysterious nasty substances leaked all over the hallway floor. The smell at first was that of feet. Then it smelled like someone ate the feet and threw up. The feet+vomit smell was almost overwhelming. Fortunately, in the cleaning closet there was a can of super-duper hospital disinfectant and de-smellifier. It worked pretty well. Unfortunately, I must’ve touched some of the substance. I didn’t realize it until I was in the gym. So I went to the boys’ locker room to wash my hands. This is what the bathroom area looks like:
Apparently, this is what it always looks like. To which I say, “Huh?”
There was no soap and no paper towels. I washed my hands with just water and wiped them on my pants.
The most disturbing thing at the meet was the guy in front of us. He kept looking at us from the back of his neck. I mean, if you have eyes in your neck, don’t draw attention to them with sunglasses. Wear a scarf, for goodness sakes!
Actually for our first year as a team, they did pretty well yesterday. A big improvement over the first couple of meets where everyone was pinned!
Are you going to add a category for bathroom conditions? I hear Michele snagged a picture of the ms bathroom.
VERY FUNNY POST … VERY FUNNY DISCRIPTION OF SMELL !!!!!!(LOL), but whose feet smell like that? That was the worst smell I’ve ever smelt … I would guess that’s what a dead body would smell like …
The bathroom picture is pathetic and yet hysterical!
And did you notice if the guy sitting in front of you was missing his thumbs? He might have been from the planet Twylo … was he drinking air or did you notice any walnuts in his pockets?
Twylo? What a delightfully obscure reference! I had to look it up.
I did not notice he was missing his thumbs. Otherwise, I would have gotten a picture of it. Eyes in the back of his neck AND missing thumbs? What are the odds?
Hmmmmmmm …. I wonder what you looked up? I think I spelled it wrong … I think it’s Twilo … so you don’t know what I’m referring to huh? A new mystery … anybody out there know?
The sunglasses dude is STILL freaking me out! If you were clever you probably could have gotten our reflection in the glasses – that would have been totally cool!
“You lookin’ at me?!” (said like Al Pacino.)
Poop! I wanted sunglasses smiley in that last post!
I fixed your first comment, but I can’t seem to delete your second comment here at school. I need to “enable sending referers”, whatever that means. I’ll delete this comment that I’m writing, and your “Poop!” comment when I get home. Or maybe not. Because now I think it’s funny that I called the above comment your “Poop!” comment. Ha! I’m crackin’ myself up!
Focus people…this is all about MS Wrestling!
WOO HOO BLS MS WRESTLERS!!!! You all are the bomb!! Way to go guys!! Way to hang in there … way to give them a scare … yep, yep, you phat!!!
Awesome job!!! We’re so proud of you!!!!
Back to the original programming then? So, how easy is it to ever understand the scoring for this sport, gang? Some ref guy wears wrist bands in the color of the opposing teams, flips a colored bottle cap-sized Frisbee ev’ry so often, and the other team seems to get points merely for standing there while our guys hold opponents to the mat in unimaginably-painful positions for longer than, well, one could imagine and get zip! I just didn’t get it – but I agree…Josh was awesome. SO glad to see him be that successful; if you know Josh, you know why one might say that. (Your loss, Nebraska…sorry!)
I am still in training about the points, so I don’t know if I could really help you with that issue.
But Josh was awesome.
And the bathroom is a disgrace. That is why they need to give that locker room to the girls and give the boys the small, cramped one across the hall.
And then pigs will fly out of my __________.
I could give you an entire lesson on wrestling and all the details of scoring…but you’d be sleeping by the time you read it all… I love it and make quite a Wrestling Coach’s wife

I never got to comment that I am AGAHST at the state of that bathroom. Is it for real or did you photoshop that??
It’s real. I’m not a very accomplised Photoshopper. I can draw a Jabba the Hut in the sky, but that’s about it.
