The Test 57: Love Me Some Elevators

This week on The Test, I learn what Cunningham and Stacey have in common with Aerosmith: an inordinate passion for vertical people movers. Who knew?

No politics in this one, but there is some elevator-related religious discussion, and a frenetic cameo by my good friend and colleague Coach Brady. Whitney might remember him from a Spotswood girls varsity soccer game back in the '90's.  Brady was the head coach, I was his assistant, and Whitney was in town so we drafted him into service and dubbed him the "the crying coach" . . . because sometimes girls cry during soccer games and need someone to talk to . . . and for those of you who think you're too tough to cry, remember: if they took your smokes and maced you, you'd cry too.

the Russians...you can buy anything over there on the black market.
including a dissertation.

Duma member Igor Igoshin allegedly earned his economics degree by turning someone else’s paper on the Russian chocolate industry into a thesis on meat; the dissertation replaced every mention of “chocolate” with “beef,” “dark chocolate” with “home-grown beef,” and “white chocolate” with “imported beef.” All numbers, charts, and analysis were preserved in their original form.

So, Simone Manuel's coach started out at W&M
How do I know this?
Saw him hugging Simone after she won the gold and the NBC announcer said "that's her Stanford coach"
And I was like "he's hot"
So I googled and learned that he was the W&M swim team coach while some of you guys were in school

Also, this led me + KQ to come up with a really awesome movie idea.
Well, it's KQ's idea, inspired by me.
You guys will all be invited to the premiere in few years.
It's going to be epic.

What about EJ Manuel's coach?

KQ said...

Seriously. Epic. We are really impressed with ourselves.
