Back then the cars had a trap door that we could pull open with a chain to check our tire wear.

I'm such a strong believer in making yourself happy. Almost in a selfish way. There are a lot of trends, and obviously you can get swept up into them.

I, and others like me - trap stars - we always considered ourselves Robin Hoods: we go out and get the money.

In our situation, we took pride in getting money so that the hood could eat.

It's a really diverse time in music, with all these different DJs and all these different categories, and we are all taking footnotes from everyone else. There are no real genre boundaries anymore; you can take a trance idea and put it into a trap record - it's not that uncommon.

But let's not fall into the trap set by the Tea Party and others who would tell you that every single undocumented individual is a drug smuggler, a terrorist, or a threat to the American way of life. That is simply not true.

I know within my organization, within the grassroots of my organization of the Tea Party movement generally, there's going to be a big drive for impeaching Obama. I don't know if that's the right move... We need to play our cards very carefully and beware of the mouse trap that Obama might be trying to set for us.

A true nature is a gloomy monolith, sort of like that old black rotary phone that I had to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Grandpa on. But novelists, damn us, still need true natures - so we can give them to our protagonists. And so readers can vaguely predict how they'll behave when we trap them in 'situations' that they can't IM their way out of.

The trap in Hamlet is he's the most passive of Shakespeare's characters. He's not a Richard III, not out there taking a lot of action. It's a lot of asides and soliloquies where he's wrapped in angst, and that's not a very interesting character.

I used to swim with these beavers in a beaver pond when I was 10. I went back when I was 11 and found there were no more beavers. I found that trappers had taken them all, so I became quite angry, and that winter I began to walk the trap lines and free animals from the traps and destroy the traps.

What a great outcome for the kids. It was a gamble to trap, but it almost worked the first time, so we tried to trap again.

We want to trap them to determine how many there are.

We want starting pitchers to be able to pitch (in the spring), even if they're going to give up runs. We want to get away from the trap we were in last year with a lot of three- and four-inning starts.

There is a real trick to it. Once you learn how chords, notes, rhythms and rhymes work - and these are the tools you need - then you lay in wait for the muse.

There are some things that one does maybe a little better than the other, but we would not fall into that trap of wasting time working on plays that either one couldn't work or run.

We're looking at this as a must-win. We're looking at this as the only game left and we certainly hope it's the only game left.

So I expect it to be, if we are to win, our toughest win of the season.

If this was a football school he'd be a free safety, an outside linebacker. He'll guard a 4 or a 5, he'll help out on big to little screening roles and whenever we want to trap a defender, he's usually the guy we ask to guard him in the half.

If we can play the way we want to play, we can do it without (size). But if teams trap us into their game or take us out of fours, that's when size becomes a factor. It's important for us to keep it at a high tempo.

I don't care which team you play in this league, they're no trap games. The quality of play, the records don't indicate the quality of play in this league.

Just to get that thing to six at halftime took a lot of effort. I've seen that before.

Good teams come back after a situation like that, and we happened to be the next game.

I thought we played four solid quarters of basketball. We started out with a great first quarter. I thought we handled their half-court trap very well.

Stagg is a well coached team. We went to a trap and they adjusted and then we went to man-to-man and they adjusted again. I had hoped we could get a cushion because you knew they would come back.

Matt had a better game. At least, he got the ball in the hole a little bit. We didn't push the ball, and we didn't trap the ball well. We didn't do the little things well, but we got a win.

I was very nervous before this game. It was trap game for us. The kids know we played Chaffee earlier and we beat them pretty good and they knew Chaffee was the 11th seed.

We wanted to go out and focus on rebounding. It's been our Achilles' heel so far this season.

They still rebounded the ball well, but collectively, we kept them off when it came crunch time.

We have worked a lot on that trap defense. We were able to move the ball once we got the lead and spread the floor.

The pressure of the half-court trap hurt us. We were throwing the ball away at the end.

Well, not really. That wasn't the master plan. We were scrambling. We wanted to trap twice and then foul whoever had the ball. And honestly I thought we fouled a little early (with 24.4 seconds to go), but it worked out. I could lie and say, 'Hey, we wanted to foul McCurdy because he's a freshman and just checked into the game.' But it was one of those things that worked out. And then I thought we were going to miss the rebound. It fell on the floor there a little while.

We were just holding the ball a bit too much. You got to release it quick so you can get it over the top (when they trap us). We did it a few times. We were just a little complacent coming out today.

The darkest hour in the history of Culpeper history. We didn't win a single (contested) match. We matched up perfectly for them. Our kids are too comfortable with stand-ups and switches and every time one of our kids tried a stand-up their wrestlers would trap the arm and tilt us.
