MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL...
Who's the Greatest Waxer of them all?
Let's cut through the bull and get right to it. It's the art that defined the Crow House. Who is the best of all time?
From what I've seen, Corky had the most all-around skills. He was tenacious, creative, athletic, strategic and patient. He was always wax-cesible.
Then again, I've witnessed a Romer-Schaztel Battering Ram and it was the most horrific/hilarious thing I've ever seen. It had power and agility, and its results were devastating.
I've also heard the rumors of the greatness of Soap Dish. And then, there is the legend of the Wax King, an almost mythical man (a non-Crow) who could morph from out of the walls and attack his prey.
Let's hear your opinions. There should be a long thread of contributions here.

"the pipes, lollipop, etc" cracked me up...lol...let's face it, we came from a later era...i'm real interested in hearing from some of our fore-fathers on this one too
No way it is Corky, sorry pledge Bro it isn't even close. The King was by far the best and the Dish was probably second. Although I was always most fearful of a Romer/Shatzel collaboration.

Lamont, can you describe why you feel that the King was by far and away the best?
Romer would be better to reply but I only saw one wax that the King (Phil Kline) made and it was a thing of beauty or an absolute disgrace depending on what side you're on. Considering Romer, Shatzel and the Dish I think gave him the name Butt Wax King that should tell you how effective and prolific he was.
I am surprised as many people said Corky. I mean for shear number of waxes maybe but I was never fearful of Corky like I was with Romer, Shatzel and the Dish or even Fran because you knew their asses were that much dirtier than Corky's.

Skin, you bring up some excellent points. Obviously most of the previous comments were made by brothers that saw Corky in action, while we only knew the Romer, Shatzel and Dish trio for one or two semesters. Fear is an excellent point. I didn't fear Corky either, maybe because we were friends. There was significantly more fear with the previously mentioned trio. Also feared: Conover.
also, why hasn't Romer posted yet?
The ButWax King was a LeMoyne student, friend of Romer's and unconfirmed gay lover of Jim Broder. He was quick like a cat, that one. My money is on the Corkball, but we will never know who would prevail.
Corky here...:
I'm really appreciative of the support. I think there was a good point made about those who have been posting are the ones who have witnessed the horror or the beauty (depending on your take).
And I also considered myself a singles and doubles type waxer (with the occassional triple and homerun) and it was 100% accurate to say it was perpetual (that's why the sweats <- great observation by Sap!).
Overall, I feel I've made an impact (fear, joy, energy) and look forward to my (hopeful) induction into the waxers hall of fame.
Thank you,
Tom
oh, the horror
From all accounts, Truth might not have been the most best or most prolific waxer of all time, but the "hanging from the pipes" was a classic move. The rattling of the pipes could be heard throughout the house and you just knew that a wax had been attempted.
BTW - when did Sap become Sweet Sap??
Sap obtained his name, from what i'm told, because when they asked him what he liked about trees, he said "sweet sap." Or something to that effect.
I did not know that. That is weird, wild stuff.
I guess we need a "Get to Know Matt."
