not sure your comments/witticism have been distorted as much as it just being an
artifact of the respect we all have for you. Like, if late into Scotch
night, you happen to fall down, accidentally or course, we all just think you
were looking for a contact lens or showing us all how to shoot while laying
down.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the respect and high value we hold you in I have even seen other archers at
Pennsic attempting Colum emulations by eating that pink girly ice cream you
favor. hahahahahaha</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

add to your excellent collection of archery advice, my all time favorite.
"But Marshal, I was aiming for the gold. Can't we just score that shaft as
a 5 anyway? I really meant to hit the gold." Kinda like heavies
calling good blows light or ignoring a good hit from a combat
archer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>It has come to my attention that while wafting throught the mists of time
some of the Baron Columisms may have been distorted. So allow me to
correct the record.</DIV>
