•It’s really hard not to laugh if the Negative team gets up
and starts singing songs from the “Sound of Music” during their Negative
speech. Apparently it’s not against the rules. “So long, farewell….”
•10 page negative brief due for a Nationals Prep Group? Let
me find go find those half-page long credentials for the author that no one
really cares about. But hey. If it helps you meet that 10 page requirement….
•Brett D. Schaefer is
probably one of the coolest people ever… not to mention he’s the advocacy for
just about everyone’s Affirmative case. I’m always really excited when I get to
use evidence by him. In fact one time I was so excited about finding this piece
of evidence by him that my partner suggested I marry him. Did you know that
he’s single? (just so you know, I don't want to marry him, he's too old)
•Team Policy Debate is fun because it allows you to get
together with a partner to work on researching. The downside is you get half as much done as
you would if you were alone, and you end up wasting twice as much time. Don’t
even get me started on how much we get done at “research meetings”.
•Speaking of research meetings, the majority of "research meetings" are spent arguing about what will be done and listening to music
•Lincoln Douglas Debate is for all those “forever alone”
people. Just kidding. I love LDer’s. :)
•Debate has taught us all to rely on Google for anything that
we don’t know.
•Wikipedia is a good source for generic information, just so
long as you don’t say the word “Wikipedia” in a debate round.
•When your mom asks what you’re up to and you say “I’m
working on debate”, we all know you’re lying. You’re actually on Facebook (or
Google+). Orrrr you're playing games. Nobody actually works on
debate, do they?
•If you have ever been at a tournament and heard something about drugs, it probably originated in Cornerstone.
•Speech and Debate has allowed me to meet some of the coolest people in the world. True story. :)
