Breakaway Top 10 List!
 

Does anybody have the complete list? Decided about halfway through that I wanted a copy, and didn't have time to write any of them down...

Re: Breakaway Top 10 List!
 

I didn't get the entire list, but I've got some of them. I figure that the CD community might be able to get all of them.


10.On the US census form, you listed your primary residence as your build site.
?. You get in trouble in gym class for trying to hang from a kid doing pull ups.
2. Your parents are furious that because you put interchangeable red and blue bumpers on the minivan.
1. You love Atlanta, but you're already looking at hotels in St. Louis!


Others mentioned, but I don't remember the wording: Dogma penalty, and World cup being played with 12 balls

One of them was something about a robot hanging in the forest and if it falls the crowd lets out a collective groan.

8. You are lobbying your Congressional representative to vote no for health care until robots are covered. - found at Gizmodo

#4 is my favorite :P

Re: Breakaway Top 10 List!
 

My dad didn't understand why I was laughing so hard during this part of the webcast.

I need to go put bumpers on my mom's (relatively) new GMC Terrain...does that count as a minivan? I'm sure she'll be glad that they're there when I end up hitting someone with it.*

Does anyone know where they got these from, who they borrowed ideas from, etc? I don't remember who it was, but someone using one of the Championship hashtags on Twitter mentioned something about finding hotels in St. Louis earlier today. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw #1...


*My driving isn't THAT bad, but it's not good enough for me to get my license. Yet.

#3 was the dogma joke about a student wanting a dog and his mom getting mad that he called her "ma"

Another one (#7?) was about changing the bumpers of your minivan from red to blue

Re: Breakaway Top 10 List!
 

#7 not one of your friends first thinks of apple or cherry when someone mentions pi


#5 You feel the need to begin your department meetings with blue hair dye and a judo roll

Here's the wording of some of the others already mentioned.

#3. On returning from competition.....
Student: "We got a Dogma!"
Parent: "Great! Now I have to clean up after it and you will address me as 'mother', not 'ma'

(That got a collective groan from the crowd)


#9 You wonder if a Breakaway! tower is placed in an un-inhabited forest and a robot falls from the tower while attempting to hang, does an audience somewhere still make a collective groan?

#9 is the one robot hanging in the forest and if it falls the crowd lets out a collective groan. (Anyone remember the exact wording?)

I believe most of these are in the right order.

Re: Breakaway Top 10 List!
 

#9 was something like
you wonder if a robot hanging on a tower in the forest falls, does a crowd somewhere still groan?
(can't remember the exact wording)
