Man, that was fast posting.

I suppose an explanation is due before everyone thinks that Jessica has lost her mind or anything. Last night at the volunteer dinner, they mentioned the volunteer head-type folks working each field. They told us that Jessica was working Archimedes. (She wasn't.) I relayed this misinformation via AIM, and the rest is pretty much explained by the picture.

Oh, and I got a haircut.

Actually, the haircut is what happens when you gamble and lose.

Picture it: Palmetto 2006, Saturday morning. After a rough two days of competition, 1293 is 2-4. The three matches that morning included such top-billing opponents as 1676, 422, and 343. I told the team that if we won all three matches that morning, I'd (after about two years of not getting one) get a haircut.

1293 went on to post its first winning record in qualifying. Ever.

(Granted, we had some great partners over those matches, including 818, 1319, and even 343 themselves, but still, it was quite a feat to us.)

Billfred, you are heading down a glorious path with that kind of bet. Keep giving your team incentives, and you'll end up like Karthik!

(We should all aspire to this!)

P.S. Made a similar bet with my team regarding the 2005 STL Regional CA, and was rewarded with green hair at our next event.

Heh, I figured it was for a decent reason. (For an encore performance, though, they'll have to get FIRST gold in one of its two flavors--I won't be picky.)

Kinda makes me glad 116 didn't win Chairman's at peachtree, otherwise I'd be toting a mowhawk in Atlanta right now. Why do people in FIRST always bet their hair?

Maybe Karthik will have to bet something else next.
