[TURKEY RUN :: SERB FEST - Online] Fire & Ice Extravaganza

Mike made his TR debut in 2008 and captured Rookie of the Year honors. His quick witted humor worked well within the group and managed to nickname himself "FM" within hours of the start of the weekend. (Of course, those of us who were there know what "FM" stands for; and for those of you who don't know, listen closely to some of the late night Serb Fest folklore next year and you'll surely find out. It's no coincidence that this also occurred after consuming several beers with Crazy Dan. After a year off in 2009, Mike and his family returned in 2010 and picked up where he left off, adding an unusual, but much appreciated brand of humor to any conversation. While in 2008 he came away being nicknamed "Feces Mike", 2010 yeilded an even more eyebrow raising nickname - "BM" (Again - reference TR folklore). Folks - pay attention - this is how you secure back to back Intellectual of the Year honors!
