Re: Delaware is The FIRST State ... Learn It
 

I was asked that same question 4 times and one of the times the guy didn't believe me, he walked away from me believing that Delaware is an extension of PA.

I forgot my favorite one....

Can I borrow a quarter?

I have heard that one more then 1000 times, lol.
I got em all back at nationals tho. I think I owe the different members of the team in total more then 100 bucks. lol.

Good Luck to everyone at the invitationals.

lol

Re: Re: Delaware is The FIRST State ... Learn It
 

You think Jersey smells bad, I used to live near Kennett Square, PA, otherwise known as the Mushroom Capital of the World. Since this is a quote thread the smell is best described with a parody of a famous Apocalypse Now quote.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Manure, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of manure in the morning.

You do get used to it. Except around harvest time during which my high school and everything else around town reeks.

I remember helping a team at UCF Regional.... I know they were rookies, and I can't think of their number... but they had a wood base for a robot and the wheels were higher than the components. They won an award for the "function" of their robot they hadn't planned for.

Me helping them one of the matches: "Wow, your robot just flipped"
Mentor from their team: "Oh wow, it's still driving, we uhh..... designed that into it, yea, thats what we did"
*goes back to pits after match*
Mentor to drive system designer: "I'm glad we planned that"

Heh, it was quite funny watching them all think they broke their robot in flipping, then seeing it run... they ran upside down multiple matches after flipped too lol.

Now thats a funny one, lol.

me to the newbies on 713:
"FIRST is like a drug......... with side effects on your social life"

me to the parents:
"for 6 weeks your son will be missing till about nine o'clock at night." (parent to me) "why can't he stay longer?"

me to idle members of 713:
"I lose a finger you lose a life"

me to the coach:
"I'd be nicer if I had sleep but since i haven't, keep every one away form me and nobody dies."

me to my co-captain:
"have you ever tried running on coffee and sugar.... it's fun trust me..... by the way do you know i woke up at 4 am?" (him to me) "but it's almost 12 am" (me to him) "see it works"

my favorite:
"anyone who wants to get duct taped and tortured touch the joystick while i have my hand in this robot" (random team member) "he's not lying he did that to me last year"

I like this one. This is one I havent ever heard.

After I come home from LA

Dad: I thought you were the runners up
Me: We were
Dad: Then why does it say FIRST?

Thanks to 697 for reminding me of that one yesterday :D

lol. Those are great...Especially the last one.
