This is an actual story - and one that Harv would be wise to pay attention to.
Here is the actual post I sent to PG:
"PG,
About 3 years ago - in Ft.Myers I believe - you watched me spitting sunflower seeds - and rated me very low. I believe the write up indicated I lacked both velocity and accuracy with my seeds.
Granted - at that event - I had a bad day. I mis-spit several seeds - and many landed in the hair and soda cups of the fans sitting in front of me. What you didnt know was that I had a sprained tongue at the time. But I told noone.
Fast forward to Jupiter - you watched me again - and by your own admission - I may have been the best seed spitter you have ever seen.
There have been many that have PM'ed me - and have said that the only reason you rated me so high was because we are friends. That is BS - and it bothers me.
But, as we both know - the truth is - the performance I put on at Jupiter may never be surpassed."
PG responded - and basically said that they didnt think their initial rating was that bad and that I was overreacting - and that they subsequently increased my rating after my phenomenal Jupiter performance."
So - having the inability to shut up - I responded again as follows:
"PG,
I beg to differ.
I have the report from 2004 right here:
Here is what it says.
"The guy is short - he isnt fat yet - but he will be soon - and he is ugly. He has no velocity on his seeds and when he spits them - they land everywhere except at the intended target.
He also drinks too much beer - talks about eating mozzerella much more than is necessary - and attempts to make too many jokes.
This dude is going nowhere fast - and we believe he will be out of the seed spitting business before the year is over."
Fast forward to today.
I am currently the reigning seed spitting champion in the United States - and have been sent many congratulatory letters from PG after each successful competition.
The moral of the story - performance is the ultimate rating. Shut up - and play.
