Don't let it go to your head though. Be humble and politely mock the debaters ONLY when their backs are turned. The book swoop is often made fun of, but just watch a final round. Their book work might be dramatic, but they are the ones getting the trophies. Thou shalt use thine own discretion .
Most comments are helpful, but some are just a personal preference.
Pick and choose with wisdom. This is Beth's policy with interps, and it is wise. I believe that they do not have enough talent to interp and have to swear to get an audience reaction. To truly show your talent, you can convey your message through beautiful words not vulgarities. Also remember to be tasteful in selections.
