I did too much magic beforehand. That should probably be " I don't do worse under pressure."

Yeah, I sucked at magic.

The short asian one selling mini QJ's, mini Type A's, & Taiyans. Sorry if that description offends you.

When I was watching 4x4x4 BLD I couldn't see the guy's Blindfold, I thought he had a really long mental lock up?

I was yelling at you, but I was about 700 miles away so you probably just didn't hear it.

 

[RyanO]

Did you know my first round 3x3 average was my PB even including all the unofficial averages I've done?

actually you are wrong. I saw Bob there in a Fed Ex jacket... I was quite surprised at seeing him though.
