    Re: New to Cyclone Fanatic

    I'm new to this site, but I've been a Cyclone fan since birth. Probably even before that. I was raised in a Cyclone-only household, and I'm pretty sure my parents would disown me if I married a Hawkeye or a Husker (Panthers and Bulldogs are safe though). I'm a managing editor of a small weekly newspaper and a published author. My hobbies include concert-going (I prefer country and lyrically-driven music), baseball (I even keep up an MLBlog), writing (obviously) and attending Cyclone sporting events. I'm a season football ticket holder and try to get to a few basketball games each year. I've also found I enjoy hockey and I'm learning about wrestling. So...anyhow, that's enough rambling for now. I'm looking forward to being active on this board.

    I have wondered for awhile, what is a Phaedrus? I'm not trying to be a smartalec. it is just a unique name.

    Re: New to Cyclone Fanatic

    Welcome Phaedrus!!! This is a great site, I use to belong to CyNation and currently to CR, but this board has the best ISU fans around. Of course you'll have your "doomsdayers" here but they aren't all that bad compared to CR (I rarely go to their board).

    I've never been addicted to a board, but this one grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go. I'm not allowed on the internet at work, but sometimes I find a computer and just have to find out what's going on here.

    Phaedrus (dialogue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

    Also the "alter-ego" in Robert Pirsig's "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance".

    I write for a living. 345 posts is really that not much effort, on my part, and it helps to keep my creative juices flowing while I'm at work.

    Actually, the relatively large amount of fun, informative and evocative subjects is PRECISELY why I value this forum so much. The other forums I belong to are neither as diverse, nor are they as provocative as this one.

    That's what happens when we allow writers on this board. Big words I have to look up in the dictionary. Thanks for joining guys. Seriously, thanks a lot.

    Do you know the words to "Men of Harlech" too?

    Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
    Can't you see their spear points gleaming
    See their warrior pennants streaming
    To this battlefield
    Men of Harlech stand ye steady
    It cannot be ever said ye
    For the battle were not ready
    Stand and never yield
    From the hills rebounding
    Let this song be sounding
    Summon all at Cambria's call
    The mighty force surrounding
    Men of Harlech on to glory
    This will ever be your story
    Keep these burning words before ye
    Welshmen will not yield

    http://www.rorkesdriftvc.com/myths/menofharlech.mp3
    Shiver me timbers.
