...there seemed to be a kinship between you. Do you two talk much? Yeah, we've chatted. Whenever I get to any of the tournaments where he's at, I try to make a point of finding him - not bothering him, but to chat with him. There's no ego in Roger. The way he seems is the way he is, and I think that's unbelievable in someone who's done so much...
...played “Little Crimson Riding Hood.” She was eaten by the big bad Yale Bulldog—and then John Harvard saved the day. Blockmate Tzu-Ying Chuang ’10 calls Liles’s performance persona “her alter ego.” “Normally, she’s not the kind of person to go up and talk to people.

And in his showdown with Grendma, he's simply out of his shallows. She appears to him drenched in gold, with high-heeled feet and nipples pert enough to hang a horseshoe on. When her hand touches Beowulf's sword, it turns to water, even as his resolve melts away at her caress. Ulysses may have resisted the sirens, but Beowulf's self-regard leads him to think he can bed Grendma...
