Inflated Ego ------------ From: Jeff Pollak Subject: The Case of the Inflated Ego Date: Tue, 30 Aug 1994 13:02:51 GMT It wasn't too long ago when Detective Jacque broke the case of "the Kinder, Gently Jim", exposing the Ed Hwang/Jim Parinella scandal. Recent posts from Pablo Martinez are further proof that they are indeed one and the same. Recently while undercover at the BUDA corporate/coed tourney, investigating the Ringer Syndrome, I accidently stumbled across an even bigger scandal... The Case of the (artificially) Inflated Egos For months now all of us readers of r.s.d have been amazed at the display of huge, bursting egos from the players of Boston's Big Ego Ultimate. We've wondered "How do they do it? They must work out on those egos for hours!" NOT SO!!! Jim "the disc is an extension of my ego" Hwanginella and Alex "there's not enough room between these quotation marks too fully describe my abilities" DeFronzego were seen taking some pills on the sideline. When they weren't looking I got a peek of what they were taking...ego-building steriods!!! Anabolic Testosterone is the main ingredient. After some research, I found that this type of steriod is an artificial ego builder, until recently only tested on one human volunteer (Ross Perot later refused further treatments and reality settled back in.) The side-effects are not entirely known, but experts are concerned over the safety of those around the user(s). They recommend that if you confront a suspected user, gently stroke their egos and don't question the validity of said ego otherwise all hell may break lose. Since we cannot be sure how many of Bsoton's Big Ego players are natural or artificially built egos, I recommend you all to be very careful, at least until science provides us with more information. Just another day in the life of... Jacque Pollak, Ultimate Detective
