Dearest Forum Friends:
A lot has happened in the Life of Prant and the world of Kansas wrestling since I last posted on this board. Despite my absence, know that think fondly of my old buds on this board, and that I wear proudly on my breast my monster truck tattoo.
As the wrestling community prepares for their respective annual Battles Royale, I wanted to take a moment to come out of Forum retirement and reiterate that my unfailing allegiance to those grapplers from Hat Town still stands.
However--for this weekend, and for all foreseeable clashes between the powers of state wrestling, a new program will also be receiving Full Prant Support and all the benefits that come with it: Those Washburn Rural High School Junior Blues.
Why should I support these (future) Titans of the Mat--especially when I was a lifetime 0-2 against them? For many reasons:
1) The Creepy TopHat Guy they have on their shirts/singlets/mat looks eerily like the villain from the Disney movie "Princess and the Frog." (How do I know this? Well, because there are Little Prants and Prantinas running around these days.) Despite this, the wrestlers seem to be SUPER into the logo, which can only indicate their steadfastness in the face of criticism. Kudos on the maturity, guys.
2) Their mat room doubles as a bomb/tornado shelter, meaning there is absolutely no cell phone reception. TOTAL FOCUS. If there's ever an apocalypse, not only will these Li'l Ichabods be totally safe, they will emerge from years of nuclear winter as the most finely-tuned wrestlers the world (old or new) has ever known.
3) WRHS--abbreviation for both "Washburn Rural" and "War Horses."
4) Their singlets are 10000000000 times better than the Junction City Pinstripe Ed Hardy singlets. (Note: Hat Town, your new 'glets are totally legit.) Come on, Junk Town.
5) I have seen one of their coaches eat 50 chicken nuggets in one sitting. True story.
As you can see, due to the five reasons listed above (and many others), the Li'l 'Bods are poised for greatness. Get in on the ground floor now, friends, because this rocketship is going to take off soon.
Go Hat. Go Li'l 'Bods. Go Kansas wrestling.
With love, Prant Garker Hat Town Alumni Lead Driver of WRHS Bandwagon

It is great to have you back sir, I myself have eased my presence on the forum for lack of wit and jolliness that once was prevalent on these boards... You're a revolutionary

Wow, you have been gone from the forum, almost five years. Welcome back!
Sorry to be springing this on you so soon on your return but I bet you would be a great force for the Kansas College Wrestling Fund if we could get interested. It would be great for some young guys like yourself to start getting involved. Any chance?

Prant, you need to talk your brother into bringing back the blue blazers.

Could have used your witty banter on the "absolutely disrespectful" thread, convenient that you came out of hiding the day after it was taken down...

Prant, you need to talk your brother into bringing back the blue blazers. I have a hard enough time finding a regular blazer that fits.
The fact that girls are forced to wrestle at state in the middle of the week is laughably sexist.

Nince: Unfortunately, I have moved a long way away from the Sunflower State. This both hurts my heart, AND means I wouldn't be much of an asset.
Bobert: I'm not sure what you're talking about, but if they can be combined with the Princess and the Frog TopHat guy, then I 100% support it. (Also, who said anything about brothers? Prant's true identity is and always has been a mystery.)
StedRorm: Always a Forum freedom fighter. Always.

... Well you can't blame me for trying. Actually I should not have put you on the spot like that but it was really out of respect for you and your abilities. If you remember my posting at all you will recall that I can get overly obsessive on some issues. This is definitely one of those issues for me. You are such strong voice with the younger wrestlers and others on the forum that I believe you could have been a great advocate for the KCWF and the Fund is going to need that type of voice in the future. Maybe someday if life leads you back to the Kansas wrestling community you will join us in this battle. Great to have you back for now though. Best of luck, Nince Vowak

@Randy- I went back and checked my profile, looks like all my post were lost in a purge of the boards. Was wanting to go back and read some of the old stuff. Good to see the place hasn't changed much though.

Also have you donated about 10% of your race car and Mountain Dew promotion earnings to the Kansas College Wrestling Fund yet this year?
