View source for Matt Bollinger/anecdotes

* Matt is the best known user of the phrase "[[things have names|that's a word]]", which he directed towards moderator [[Mike Sorice]] while playing a bonus part on "hapticity" in the NSC All-Star Round.
* The answerline of "zeppelins" was briefly a facetious benchmark of absurd difficulty after Matt insisted that a [[NASAT]] tossup on {{bu|zeppelin}}s written by [[Mike Cheyne]] was extremely difficult to answer.
* At one point [[Carsten Gehring]] and [[Mike Cheyne]] referred to the duo of Bollinger and [[Evan Adams]] as "Rizzoli and Isles" respectively in reference to the unpopular TNT program - an attempt to find other quizbowlers to fit the similarly-titled TNT show ''Franklin & Bash'' was inconclusive.
* Matt's involvement in a long argument about a [[NASAT]] tossup on the {{bu|United States-Canada border}} spawned the parodic phrase "true knowledge of the Pig War" to describe the question's failure to reward [[Jacob Wasserman]]'s "real knowledge".
* Matt has been noted for his tendency to blush, a fact he was unaware of until an IRC conversation in which he claimed not to know what his own face looks like.
