Mats stole my cube?
I met two kids at Doubletree, showed them my cubes. The next day, I left the Huanying on a table, and as I started to look for it, the two were running after me saying they found the cube?

DYK:

...Anybody can get an OLL if they believe?
...But it takes about 60 seconds?
...For Mats, it takes about 1 second?


I never get OLL.

DYK...

...the nugget run happened?
...minus the run?
...Ranzha hates Z cases?
...I know more RSM algs than Ranzha?
...I still don't know full CMLL?
...Waffo doesn't even know what cube he is using?
...I fail under pressure?
...how did I fail that badly at 4BLD?
...all of my FMCs were full step?
...with a 41.33 mean?
...I had never tried MBLD before this?
...but at least I got a success?
...we got lost every day driving?

...Andy Smith is really fast? Like really fast?
...I failed even when there was little pressure?
...Bob seems like a typical New Yorker?
...Does he ever smile?
...Rowe uses EG-1 now?
...Lucas and Rami are very different from each other?
...I never solved a Megaminx before Nats?
...BJ stickers make 2x2's GJ?
...I seemed to miss everyone's good solves?
...Rob knows this algorithm?
...Phillip says I'm a 5BLD fanboy for liking the Guhong 2?

...you bet?
...Weston hasnt beaten WEB's 3x3 average?
...Professional Speedcubers dont always make finals?
...I can't think of anymore DYK's?
 
DYK part 2/??? :

- Mitch's clock is godlike?
- Despite being in the last boarding group of Southwest's unassigned seating, I still snagged a window seat 2/4 flights?
- Anthony thinks OH is more casual than 2H?
- While waiting backstage for Good Day New York, someone told us that his uncle used to be able to solve a cube while he was sleeping?
- I specialize in having a good time?
- I +2ed twice in round 1 of 3x3?
- One of those +2s was a T-perm U2 that I totally deserved for tormenting Mats about his?
- Fitting 9 people into a 4 man suite is very doable?
- Kevin bought 3 cases of Mountain Dew the first day because it was cheaper than 2 cases?
 
I imagine this discussion starts with those shouting "USA" immediately after Feliks' fifth solve. That was uncalled for.

I freely admit that I was a part of this. However, I think some people have gotten the wrong impression of it - nobody was trying to disrespect Feliks - we're all faz fanboys. But we had been keeping track of the times during the finals, and knew that he needed a sub8 on the last solve to beat Collin. The chanting was out of pride for Collin, and excitement that an American won US nationals for once. In hindsight it could seem a bit rude, but I assure you there were no negative intentions.

I agree with this, don't hate me :(
 
Okay....here goes nothin'.

DYK:

...especially when my parents are listening to 50 shades of Grey on tape?

...His Family is awesome too?
...Blake Thompson+Nathan Dwyer+'oops!' = Kevin Costello III?
...There are more Jewish Cubers than I originally thought?
...I'm obsessed with my religion?
...I take pride in that obsession?
...Blake+Me>John+Chris?
...Keaton looks awesome with Ajay's hat?
...I'm apparently a lot less obnoxious than I was at Worlds 2013?
...Thank G-d for that?
...I didn't screw up at 3x3?
...surprise sub-50's on 4x4 are awesome when you average barely sub-1?
...Girls? :3
...Bobby D'angelo is actually a really nice guy?
...I want to give Justin Mallari a hug for missing 3x3 finals by one spot again?
