What are you talking about? If The Bible is "book" in Greek, then The Book (of Rules) is just "book" in English! And my friends and I have been known to sacrifice being dry in a downpour so that we could wrap The Book in someone's jacket to keep it dry. FIRST is a religion! By this standard, anyway...:D

-When you see the time is 6:48, and you immediately think that team 648 is QC Elite, and that last year they had orange bumpers just like our bot. Which actually made you cheer for the wrong team once. (Hey, I was looking through the rack.... :D)

-When you tell your brother this and he looks at you cross-eyed.

-Whenever you see times like 8:32 and 10:24 on the clock you immediately think of bolts.

-When you find a 3/16 pop rivet and an 8-32 jam nut in your pocket from last season. (Apparently I don't wear that sweatshirt much.)

-When you have your team hat that was autographed by Dean Kamen hanging on your bedpost, so can you see it every night before bed. :D
