So why does he have a jacket (or more than one?) covered with student signatures?

Because he sees something that maybe we don't. Because we, the students and mentors of FIRST, are his heroes. (At least, that's the reasoning I've heard.) And yet, we're even more "regular" than an MIT professor of engineering.

Think about it.

I can't think, the beautiful picture of you is distracting me.

Ok, your first post was a reasonable response. I am not a fan of signatures either. However, please avoid being rude.

You should have had him sign your shirt using his laser vision...

Oh you didn't know he could do that?

that's also a good thing to do with your black shirts.

Who'da thunk I would be getting laundry tips from CD! :D

P.S: Grammar police, please don't get on my back about the improper English.

You know, despite this rather crass way of putting it, they'd pretty much agree with you. I had the opportunity to speak with Woodie in Atlanta a couple years ago, and mentioned how much one of our team members appreciated meeting him and shaking his hand the day before. "Never gonna wash it again." Woodie got a truly dumbfounded look - at least as dumbfounded as an MIT professor can get - and said he didn't understand why the kids looked up to him and even idolized him so much. I could only reply, much better him than some other public figures they could pick as role models.

For my "Koko Ed is My Homeboy" shirts I used special fabrics markers to sign them permanently.

Ed! I'm so glad to hear that! As I read this thread a feeling of panic had started to come over me... I was about to run to the laundry basket where my freshly washed Koko Ed shirt is waiting for me to fold and put it away! :ahh: Now I can relax and get back to scanning CD and watching the regional web casts! :)
