Libby: "I'm not dead yet!"
Billfred: "No, but you will be."
Libby: "I'm getting better!"
Billfred: "Shut up. You'll be gone in a few minutes."
Libby: "Not if you can't close the box."
Billfred: "Stick to the script, will you? You're supposed to say, 'I think I'll take a walk now'."
Libby: "Can't we just go to the line about cutting down a tree with a herring?"
Billfred: "No, we need to nail down this scene first. Can't film out of order, you know. Now, are you going to say your line, or am I going to proceed a few lines?"


[not an entry]My Aero team once had one of our members hide in our wing box. Reportedly, one of the team leaders was scared speechless when he opened the box to look for a tape measure...[/not an entry]

Libby wanted to get to the next competition quickly, only to be removed by the people loading the semitruck who wanted to get the field into the box.

Just as all roads lead to rome, all field shipping boxes travel to parts for the 2009 field.

Here we see the sad effects of the wall street woes and the high cost of air travel: FIRST volunteers are being forced to travel by truck. Libby, after a recent visit to Tampa, emerged with an unexplained craving for sardines.

Libby took Miss Daisy's "Team in a Box" program a bit too literally.

Libby " I know that I said I needed to make a case to go to the next event but this isn't quite what I meant."

Libby, I know airfare is ridiculously expensive right now, but that doesn't mean you can sneak onto the plane in fly home in that thing!

Libby Kamen -

Famous? Yup, has a ring to it.

Emcee pipes? Absolutely.

Thinking outside the box? Fail.

A Kamen is now standard in every off season field set up :)

Ever wonder why you keep seeing the same faces at all the evetns you attend?

Unsuspecting person: Why is there a crank on that box?
person 2: I don't know. Turn it.
(insert clown music here)
*POP*
(door opens and libby jumps up)
both persons: HOLY CRAP!
Thats right folks. Want to play a joke on your FIRST friends? Get yourself a "Libby in the Box"

Fortunately for the GDC, the 2009 game piece was actually easier to transport than before thought.

Dean: Libby? What are you doing in there?
Libby: Dave Lavery asked me to pose for a picture. He didn't say why.

Karibou
28-10-2008, 20:48
Libby: "Can you close the box now? Apparently I was such a good MC, all the off-season events and the 2009 regionals want me, and they won't leave me alone. Do you think they would look in here?"

When Libby couldn't get a tent ( http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/29080 ) she picked the next best spot to snooze.

Announcer: FIRST teams, are you tired of training a new student only to have them leave 4 years later? Don't you want a student to be fluent in all aspects of the build?
Well AndyMark (TM) is proud to introduce the 'Student in a Box'. That's right, you can get a fully assembled, fully qualified student android **.
You save money because they don't need to be fed. You just plug them into any 110 AC outlet.

** You can request an unassembled student if you want to save more money **

Libby is seen here actively rebelling against her uncle's advice to "think outside the box".

...having heard that George is fondly remembered with a special S.P.A.M team unit of measurement:
a Wallace ~ 1/8th of an inch ...
