Was anyone here ever a male cheerleader? (2 Viewers)

His obituary said he was a great story teller. I wasn't close friends with Saints-Man, but I do remember his name long before this thread. One thing I don't remember is having any indication he was a great story teller.

Before this thread.

Great ####### story teller indeed. Right up there with the best we've had the honor of reading.

we all grieve in our own ways. I'm Irish. Our wakes are sloppy and celebratory. Something tells me Saints-Man wouldn't object to a final hippling. Kind of like a 21 gun salute.I for one am just glad that he was able to relive his glory days through this thread, and then get to see a lombardi in NO before leaving us too soon. :banned: This ones for you S-M!

Let me be very very clear, from one Irishman to another:What I mean is, #### you hipple, come here give me a hug.

Since the above link is broken (and a few of the others in this epic thread as well now after a couple of years :cry: )I'm guessing this may have been the above suggested Pocahontas-like face link: http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS442US442&biw=1920&bih=955&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=H0GDrZFGrjeinM:&imgrefurl=http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/thomas-dekker-to-star-in-secret-circle-marisol-nichols-joins-good-christian-#####es/&docid=eKoP4TpkFC1YAM&imgurl=http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/nichols.jpg&w=505&h=513&ei=UqD-Tp-OJYPL0QH74sX4DA&zoom=1

just re-read the entire thread...just as good as the first time.

SM's wake is literally a few blocks from my house...part of me wants to go in there and just listen to some stories.

 
Just read this for the first time tonight. Thread title probably caused me to miss it earlier. I mean who the eff would expect this in a mal cheerleader thread?! Best story in the history of the FFA. Bar none. RIP S-M.

You should go and report back if Pocahontas shows.

:lmao: Don't think SM would have wanted that at all

agreed. If that thread has taught me anything it's that if Tiger-fan goes to this wake he could be married, with child and divorced from Pocahontas all before the start of the 2012 NFL season.I think S-M wouldn't object too bad, so long as you wiped your manhood on her curtains and or toothbrush in his honor. :banned: :coffee:
 
Missed it as well the first time, imo threads this good need to be stickied for a week so people know to check out quality threads. Imo one sticky thread of the week should become the norm around here

 
Note to self. When a thread looks lame but reaches 10 pages check it out. Usually golden.

Well done Sir. Well done.

Reading this now is like an affirmation of life.

 
She looks too tall and doesn't really have the build that SM describes.

I missed this one before. What an incredible read. This really should be made into a movie. I have the feeling SM will never know exactly how many lives he touched, and if he did, he would be very very humble about it.

RIP

 
I believe Saints-Man would never have wanted Pocahontas (or anyone else in his story) to find that thread, and I hope we don't get an accidental Wheelhousing where a facebook comment, obit guestbook comment, name posted here, etc... would lead to that.

Awesome story which took me back to a couple of early college relationships a decade later on the Gulf coast.

 
Wow. Definitely the best thread I have found in the FFA thus far. I was around back in '09, but was not in the FFA as much, so this was a first-time reading for me as well.

Too bad that we did not get any more stories from the man...died well before his time. :(

 
I'm gonna randomly bump this thread a few times this year, just to show some love for SM and his amazing story telling abilities.

We will never know her identity. SM made a statement that he would never add her to his FB account if she ever tried. So it wasn't her anyways.

This chick was the first to sign his book yet he was NOT on her list of FB friends, just as S-M had said. Yes, I can read too....but it's all good, it doesn't bother me if I never find out, like I said earlier I liked his story and became interested in it. I hope he rests in peace.
 
This is perhaps my all time favorite thread in the FFA - it's well, well worth the read if you have never read it.

The below news story from today made me smile - anyone who has already read this thread will smile too. :thumbup:

RIP Saints-Man :banned:

http://news.yahoo.com/video/high-school-cheerleader-breaks-handspring-193000252.html

16-year-old Miranda Ferguson broke the Guinness World Record for handsprings with 35 consecutive back flips. The Hockaday School junior sprang across a football field from one 15-yard line to the other, with Guinness officials looking on. Last year the Dallas teen completed 20 handsprings during a football game, and friends suggested she could break the previous world record of 32 flips. After a year of practice, Ferguson accomplished her goal, giving onlookers an impressive record setting halftime performance.

Another new record, and another nostalgic reminder of what I am quite sure is one of the FFA's all time greatest threads. :thumbup:

Army Lieutenant Sets Backflip World Record

Monday, November 26, 2012

To say that Jalyessa Walker "broke" the world record for most consecutive backflips might be shortchanging her just a little bit. "Destroyed" or "pulverized" might be more like it.

Walker needed 36 flips to top the old mark.

She nailed 49 and was ready to keep going.

"I wish I didn't run out of room so I could have done 50," Walker told the El Paso Times. "As soon as I hit the concrete, I was starting to get tired and scared because I didn't want to fall."

Walker was on familiar ground for her performance. A former cheerleader at University of Texas at El Paso, Walker went for the record at halftime of the UTEP-Rice football game and covered the length of the field.

The previous record of 35 was set in October by 16-year-old high school cheerleader Miranda Ferguson, also of Texas.

Walker, a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, said she only had a month to train. After graduating UTEP in the spring, she went to Fort Lee, Va., for the Basic Officer Leadership Course, which kept her from practicing.

"I really had to work on my cardio because my legs would get tired," she told the Times.

Walker's record won't become official until the Guinness authorities sign off, but with video documentation and more than 20,000 eyewitnesses, that seems to be just a formality.

Walker, who started gymnastics when she was 4, was simple and direct when explaining why she went for the record: "I like challenges."

Attaboy, Ralphie.Gotta say the continued remembrance of him on FB is awesome. Somebody shared pictures of him through the years - weddings, St Patty's, tailgating, holding his baby niece - and you get a pretty good sense why is was so beloved. He had an infectious appetite for life, always positive and upbeat.I barely knew him, but I am humbled I did get to know him a little, and inspired by his example of how to be a better man.
 
Last New Years Eve, I stayed home instead of fighting the crowds at the bars. I remember getting engrossed in this thread and spending over an hour reading it. I think I'm going to make this a yearly tradition!

Cheers Saints-Man! May you be enjoying peace and happiness wherever you are now.

This incident with Mickey happened a few times. He would arrive(or I would wake up him in his car) after Marty & I had awaken preparing for work and there was this weird aroma round him. My spidey-sense was tingling.A week or so later after the original happening, we had our first fraternity party for fall rush. Great times. Drinking was allowed at 18(with little or no enforcement), and we had our own house. These parties were jumping!!! Now, we were not at our peak attendance wise any longer(down from a max of 75 to about 50 now) and our parties shrunk from about 350 to about 200. Still, very nice. The nights were whirlwinds. You danced, talk to perspective recruits, and talked to any cute new chicks. While very small compared to most colleges, the Greek scene was still a draw.At this first party, Doug, who had only seen once or twice over the summer told me he needed to talk to me. Was this what my spidey-sense was telling me? So we walk out of the house into the summer air, and as I brace for bad news, he tells me that he has to leave the fraternity. Whew!!!! That's it? Yes, he just wanted me to be the first to know and that he was sorry. I told him no need to apologize that we are friends. I was not one of these butt-buddy frat boys. To me, it was an organization to give some social structure, nothing more. I also used it as a place to play as many intramural sports as possible without having to go through the drudgery of finding a team myself.I guess he thought I would be hurt or angry but we chatted as we walked back in the house and back to my room. He relaxed as he realized I wasn't upset in the least. As we walk in my door to my room, what do I find but Pochahontas and Mickey wrestling on the floor, with a crowd of about six of the other cheerleaders gathered around. It was a shocking site to say the least. Also, this was a small room and this was so out of place. I know I attempted to make some type of joke about it, but I doubt it came off very well and nor did hide my dismay very well. I attempted not to linger, tried to be gracious, and just walked out of the room solely to return to the party. I was shocked and more than a bit hurt. Everything clicked in my head at that moment. I tried to hide my feelings, but especially at that point in my life, I had a tendency to wear my heart on my face. I was a bad poker player.A little about my background. In my house, lieing was not tolerated. Papa Saints-Man was quite a character, but he couldn't lie to save his life, even when a small white lie may have been best to ease the proceedings along. My mother was incable of any sort of guile. The truth flowed freely, even if a times it stung a bit. Whenever my sister or I screwed up, we would find Papa Saints-Man and just spill the beans. He did much to ensure this behavior with stories that appropriate for a different thread.So, Pochahontas and I got together that Tuesday as I recall. I fixed dinner for her at the fraternity house and we went outside to talk. There was very little foot traffic so we were confident this was a private conversation. SM: What's going on with you and Mickey?P: Nothing. I don't know why you are so jealous.SM: I don't think jealousy quite describes what I am feeling. I am hurt, but I need the truth.P: You are too jealous, Saints-Man. I have my own life to live. (this is where I first learned of the pyschological quality of transference)SM: You certainly do. However, I want to know the truth.P: I don't like you when you are like this. Why can't you just let things go? We were just having a little fun and you get all worked up about it.(Editor's note: it is should be quite evident by now who is the b#### in this relationship.)SM: Just to be clear, I consider sex anything beyond what I do with my mother. I hug my mother, and I kiss my mother on the cheek. Did you do anything more than that with Mickey?P: No. It is important to note that she looked me straight in the eyes when she told me this. While in my heart I knew she was lying, my head could not discern any indication that she was lying.SM: So, we're good?P: We're good.We went out that night. My head overruled my heart here. My world was small, and I didn't believe people could lie that blatantly(Here your maxi-pad, Saints-Man). Every instinct I had told me she was lying. But intellectually, I had no proof. I vividly remember the night not being that enjoyable. I convinced myself that if I cared for as I claimed, I had to believe her. That is what caring for some else is? (No, Saints-Man that is a being a pansy).I also vividly remember no sexy time that night.

I genuinely felt hurt at this point, like this really happened to me. :(

Ohio cheerleader sets new Guinness record with 42 consecutive handspringsAs reported by USA Today, Cuyahoga Falls (Oh.) Walsh Jesuit High cheerleader Marie Klein completed a dizzying 42 consecutive handsprings to break the prior record during Walsh Jesuit's football game against Akron (Oh.) St Vincent-St. Mary School (yes, LeBron's alma mater). Though the video above appears to show 40 handsprings, at least according to the count cheered out by the crowd on site, the school itself announced 42.

Critically, dizzying isn't just an over-dramatic choice of descriptive adjective in the paragraph above;Klein was literally made very, very dizzy by flopping head over heels 42 straight times. You can see video of Klein's achievement above, but be careful, it might make you dizzy, too.

"It was crazy," Klein told WalshJesuit.org, the school's official website. "I loved the way the crowd reacted. My mom was crying. It didn't feel real at times as I did it. I almost passed out, but I kept going. I am real excited to have the record. Now I want to break my own record."

The junior cheer star's feat earned a mention on ESPN's SportsCenter and got plenty of kudos from everyone from the diminutive teen's family to St. Vincent-St. Mary onlookers. Perhaps Klein has a slight advantage because she stands just 4-foot-11? Prep Rally isn't sure, as it has never successfully completed a single handspring, let alone 42 in a row.

"It is so awesome I could do this with my family supporting me," Klein told WalshJesuit.org. "My mom, Steph, my dad, Steve, and my brother, Stevie, all were here to watch."

Now, thanks to the wonders of YouTube, plenty more have seen her achievement, though many may have been pushed toward vertigo just by taking in her perpetual flip-flopping.

Great thread and I love the bumps Das Boot! RIP Ralph.

But I counted and she very definitely "only" did 40.

Also, I dated a cheerleader in college and substituted on a handful of occasions and assisted them in judging local cheerleading contests.
