"I decline the title of Iron Cook, and accept only the lesser title of Zinc Saucier, which I just made up. Also it comes with double prize money." - Bender
Olympians,
Today (May 22nd) is a hallowed day. It's the tenth anniversary of the Table Tennis: I event, the first event of Our Olympics! Way back then we were able to hold a complete tournament with an eight person bracket in a friend's basement. Greg Nigon took the first gold. There have been many great events large and small, and I thank you all for being a part of them.
