"There he is, running"

Doesn't make much sense as a one liner, but here's "The rest of the story"

At Great Lakes Regional, we had all piled into the bus to go to lunch. We have absolutely no organized method of attendance, so someone asked if anyone saw anyone missing, and we all said no. As we we're pulling out of the Parking lot someone asked "Hey, Where's Ross" and then someone in the back of the bus turned around and yelled "There he is running." We had almost left him. It was highly amusing, but maybe you had to be there.

Oh and another one, at Midwest Regional the Sixth Seed (sorry don't remember number) aked the seventh seed to ally with them and the seventh seed was obviously not sure what he should do so he took the mike and said "um, I don't think so" and started to walk back when he grabbed the mike again and said "graciously."
