Furf has a face for every occasion. He has to..... How
else could he have ever invented and perfected his brand of the Game of Human
Chess? His 14+ years of service and
travel have resulted in the development of a worldwide celebrity who always has
an opinion and is always able to express it as no one will ever be able to
match.
What can be said
about Furf that he hasn't already said himself? The origin on Michael Martin's
nickname can be traced back to the PHS gym around 1990, most likely by a member
of the boys' basketball team. Those who know its significance haven't told
anyone else, so it goes into the legend of Furf, perhaps for all time.
The “Self-High-Five,”
“Magic Slot,” “Gangster,” fake extra points, total body rubdowns, raps on the
head with a metal chair, and the “Extreme Dive” are but a few of the countless innovations
that Furf has brought to Perry County.
When you’re in the
presence of the “Adona Assasin,” you never know what new element you’re about
to experience, so keep a pen and paper ready and the camcorder running…
Furf may be the Mel
Gibson of Arkansas. For the past ten years, he's had women waiting to meet him
at ball games, and he's even made some contacts with a few of the Arkansas
Twisters' cheerleaders. His dance moves at several Atkins homecoming dances are
legendary. Mamas, watch your daughters!!!
Furf has served
as the voice of the Mustangs on several radio stations throughout Arkansas and
has also branched out into the video world as well, filming games for the
Mustangs. It's just a matter of time before we'll see his swimsuit calendar
come out...
Furf knows how to
prepare and get psyched up for a competition, be it a rap or two on the head
with a folding chair or a full body rub-down with creamis-genic.
He never has on
off-day. He would never "subdue himself to the level of those with no life
and no retribution to give." And if he must “meet wood,” he will answer
the ten-count. As he has stated on several occasions, “I’m tough as nails.”
We could go on
all day about Furf, but he's already done that for us over the years. No one
doubts his loyalty to Perryville High School. He always knows what to say, and
we'll gladly try to be around as much as we can to try to figure it out.
