Why is Polish so Loved?

[Merckx index]

In the Clinic, Armstrong fanboys come and go, but Polish endures, not simply tolerated but recognized as a forum treasure. Why? What’s the secret of his success?

Unlike other highly successful posters, Polish did not show promise at a young age. He was always good in one-day arguments, but was never able to perform in Grand Discussions. But suddenly, there he was, battling with seasoned veterans in the Clinic, day after day, recovering in seemingly miraculous fashion to take each new stage of the topic. How could someone undergo such a dramatic transformation?

Is it because he trains harder than other posters, even typing on the keyboard when he's offline? Is it the laser-like focus of his posts? Perhaps because other fanboys do all the work to bring the subject of discussion up to the last obstacle in the argument, where Polish then cuts loose and drops all his adversaries? Does he use high cadence on the keyboard? Does he have access to banned information that other posters don’t have? Could it be that he has the secret protection of higher-ups in the Clinic, like Hog, RR and Maserati? Is it true that Susan dismissed a forum violation in return for payment? Has he done too much good for too many posters?

I heard that when people asked him what he was on he said :

I'm on my chair bustin my pinkies 6 hours a day - what are you on?

A bit of gossip about Polish....
I heard through a friend of a friend that he was seen at Cache Cache last summer and he was belligerent to the wait staff and demanding hush puppies.

It's weird. He has been caught posting from Tenerife wearing an all black kit.

His wrist movement produces no lactic acid. His brain is 30% larger than normal.

Or so go the rumors.

I heard he almost died from carpal tunnel syndrome, but made a miraculous recovery, came back able to type over 200 words per minute, and has now devoted his life to kicking entrapment median neuropathy's azz.

Yep, started a foundation. I've heard the non-profit bought him a new iPad and pays for his Internet service.

While not necessarily "illegal", is sure looks bad.

Don't forget those late night limo trips to the Austin CVS store for parties in the analgesic and Ben Gay aisle with scantily clad physiotherapists that bear an uncanny resemblance to Matthew McConaughey...

Leaving aside the obviously tongue in cheek nature of this thread, I'd have to say that the real reason Polish is so loved is simply who doesn't love (on some level anyway) the village idiot.

Should be a multiple choice poll

Should be a multiple choice poll

With one, two, three, four, five, six, seven options...

If Polish is Armstrong Wonderlance is Pantani. A far shorter career, but what an impact, and still looked on with nostalgia.
