Preston Belding - Reliability

The Chaos are fortunate to have Preston Belding on the roster.  The world is full of people who want to be Chaos members but then back out at the last minute.  There are still others who stop by for a year or two, then never show up again.  Not Preston.  Captain Chaos can count on getting Preston's money every year.  Preston is so proud of his record of 9 straight years playing for the Chaos that he campaigned for his own motivational page.  He deserves it, so here it is.  Preston, your Reliability is an inspiration to us all. 

I would never allow your motivational page to be about an old, fat, out of shape person managing to trek all the way from Ohio just for the camaraderie of the Chaos.  You deserve far more than that.  You are the Cal Ripken of the Chaos.  Cal Ripken played in a record 2632 consecutive games.  I will give you 4 games per year since the Chaos are normally in the finals.  At that rate, I calculate that you are a mere 650 years away from passing Mr. Ripken as the true reliability champion of sports.

I also took the time to do some statistical research on Mr. Ripken.  There are some striking similarities to Preston.  Over the course of Ripken's career, he has had some great years - like Preston.  However, it is very obvious that overall, he was simply an average player who showed up for every game - fearful that someone could easily take his place.  I will leave it to the group to decide if this describes Preston too.   My research also showed that his performance consistently declined towards the end of his career.  Fortunately, with 650 more years of Chaos games, Preston is still a long way from entering his declining years.

Let's all raise a toast to Preston "Sonic Butt" Belding - Mr. Reliability.

There must be a story about that Sonic Butt somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out.
