Your Funniest FIRST Experience
 
Sorry guys :p .. Can't have a "Worst" or a "Best" without a "Funniest"..


This season - I think I'd have to say Nationals hanging out at the hotel. The guards were having fun helping us out with floor tag! ".. He went thatta way!" Oh yes, and paper plane sessions with some Team 33 kids. While that was all going on, a biscuit comes flying across, almost hitting a teammate. Came from the floor above :eek: Talk about random projectile.

And my friend and I decided we were sumo wrestlers and put on the bathrobes and stuffed them with pillows! And then we sumo wrestled. T'was quite the fun times. I'd add a picture but Sarah might kill me :p

My whole FIRST Experience - Last year, we decided to go running on the track at the top of the hotel in the freezing rain/slush. We had smiley face bouncy balls and we decided to see how high they'd go in the slush. The results were quite surprising, actually :D

Dan: "Girls are the worst thing in the world!"
Me: "You say that now, Dan... just wait 'til you hit puberty."

my room and the next room that was connected had a pizza fight the first night. they hurt when you get hit in the face with a full piece of pizza. after that we went after their towles and wrestled in between the rooms. the next day everyone got yelled at and they wanted to charge us more for cleanaing since it was like a 4 or 5 star hotel.. oo it was fun!

Every team meeting something funnier happens, I just can't rate what is the funniest. If you were at at 25 meeting you'll know, it's simply hilarious. It forces the sun to burn the clouds and shine at our faces:p

Re: Your Funniest FIRST Experience
 
My funniest FIRST experience has to be one night at the 2004 nationals. One of my roommates was keeping the rest of us up by putting in a movie. We wanted to just go to bed but he said "It's too early you losers, I can't believe you want to go to bed now!" Well about 3 minutes later he was asleep himself and me and my friend were wide awake watching his movie. We quickly realized that he was asleep and tried to wake him up, saying "Get up you loser!" The irony was priceless. :D Well, he wouldn't get up - no matter what we did he didn't wake up. He was in the deepest sleep I've ever seen anybody in. Me and my other roomate decided that, while we were trying to wake him up, we might as well have a little fun. :rolleyes: I took a small book and balanced it on his head. He was still fast asleep. I took something else (i forget what) and put that on top of the book. Still asleep. I took a washcloth (clean) from the bathroom and draped it over the items so it covered his face. No response. Then his head turned and all the stuff came crashing down. We waited for him to ask about the strange stack of objects on his head, but he didn't - HE WAS STILL ASLEEP!!! He had only rolled over while sleeping. I took a TV Guide and started a second stack. Again, my teammate remained totally oblivious. I took one of those large plastic display stands (which holds the pad and paper and TV Guide and all that other stuff) and tried to balance that on top of the TV Guide. It fell. HE WOKE UP!!! :ahh: As he was waking up my friend threw the washcloth onto his face. All he said about the whole thing was "Dude, why are there boxers on my face?" The fact that he still had no idea about the stacking, coupled with the fact that he thought the washcloth was a pair of underwear, left us laughing hysterically. We told him everythign and he actually didn't believe us at first because he really had no idea any of it was going on.

shows how mature i can be at times :rolleyes:

hehe, my funniest experience had to be on plane flying down to atlanta. we take off, and go up into a huge cloud, and everything is pure white. my friend turns to me, puts his sunglasses on, and says "This is the construct. It is our loading program. we can load anything here from clothing, ammunition, weapons, anything we want..." everyone who heard it started laughing :D

yep, we're a bunch of nubs....

Here at Sparky 384, one thing that sets us appart is the hilarious situations and events we find ourselves in, along with how we get out of them. Here are just some of the greatest (as in you had to be there funny) and just hilarious moments (like when we crowed surfed our team head into a trash can at VCU). Here are just a few that *I* know about.

-Ax & Shaving cream one guy on our team. Just won't mention his name on the board. It got his hair messed up AND some on his PowerBook. We're too evil...

-Daring kids on 1086 to take down 10 cups of Beverly at the Coke Museum. He didn't finnish. tehehehehe......

-Me flipping over Mr. Ivey over my sholder on the bus to get back our human players 5 point ball. After that, everyone went into a rage and beat him.

-Our team head telling us all we *had* to be up at 5am to go to the pits to get everything there and get a place in line. Needless to say, we improvised quite a bit, and walking with tons of girls at 5am was rather ammusing.

-Durring the build season in 2004, we all bought ice cream from DairyQueen. I'll leave your imagination to sum up the rest.

-2003 Champs, we were grounded on Friday night (that's why you saw NO ONE from 384 at Six Flags on Friday) and one room put all the beds up and played vollyball in the room.

-2004 after party. There was extra ice water and cups, needless to say, we had loads of wet mentors and students afterwards.... :)

There are more, just don't want to get them in trouble. Plus, I have a really lousy memory.... :p

YES FOR ICE FIGHTS!

After one build night, a bunch of us decided to go to Olive Garden. Three guys on our team try to see who can drink the most Coke. So, after about the 6th one each, our waiter comes back, bewildered that they've even gotten that far. And after the 7th, he just gave us a pitcher and wished us good luck. I think it was a donation from the restaurant, I don't really remember seeing it on the bill :)

I'm fairly certain that if the Atlanta Hotels Sydicate ever finds this thread, we're finished gentlemen. That being said I'll add my own fond reccollections from this, my rookie year:

1) One day sitting in the shop, we we're discussing some hairbrained scheme that required a 9v battery with low internal resistance. Let's watch...

Teammate: What we need is a really 9v battery that can handle a helluva lot of amperage draw.

Me: Like a car battery or something. But that would be a really weird car battery...

Teammate: *chuckles* Yeah, like a russian car battery!

Me: In Soviet Russia, Battery is limited by YOUR INTERNAL RESISTANCE!!!

Everyone in Earshot: Muhahaha!

2) Well, the contest for funniest moment in this last build season is 0wned by: When Robots Attack!!!

Seriously, check out that link :-)

Probably the funniest experience I had was playing Taboo with 433. It was Bryan (our driver), Phil (our now-alumni arm driver--when we had an arm), and myself, plus about five Firebirds. We went from the team social until some odd hour, when Phil split. Then all of us pretty much split.

<mentor_mode>That could have hurt someone or damaged your robot. If that ever happens again, just remove power from the Operator Interface and your robot will stop moving. </mentor_mode>

That was pretty funny. No programmer should have to exert that much physical activity. We weren't designed for it.
