Thanks ... but

Yeah, so when you guys decide that you really don't like the game, you can all blame Lucien
Dave never has liked me very much

Except he didn't really "predict" it, the game was fashioned after his input. And it was GREAT input
Thanks BUT if you ever saw my garage, you would realize that it was not too difficult to come up with a game that involved a lot of Rubbermaid containers with dreams of actually stacking them.

If this game is ever implemented, I'd like to buy a few of the 'bots to manage my garage. Since I have everything in Rubbermaid containers, it would be nice just to tell my new Wacky Warehouse Robot to "Please go get the Christmas decorations."
I’ll pay big bucks for a robot that includes voice recognition AND can stack Rubbermaid containers. Oh, I don’t need just any ole voice recognition, it has to be able to recognize a VERY deep Southern drawl. Sorry, I don’t need any box-knocker-downer robots … my garage already looks like I have 20 of these.

He way overestimated the structural integrity of the rubber maid containers
I tried to steer them toward Rubbermaid (of course, this has NOTHING to do with the 1,000 shares of Rubbermaid stock that I just had to sell because FIRST chose Sterilite). You can spend years trying to destroy a Rubbermaid Tote. Actually, FIRST showed their genius (No, I’m not calling Dave a genius ... I wouldn’t want him to get a big head ... please feel free to make a big hair joke right about now) again because by using a more "fragile" Sterilite container, this reduces the John McEnroe/Babe Ruth/Jack Nicklaus/Billy Jean King/Jeff Bagwell/Tiger Woods/Jimmy Connors/Hank Aaron/Greg Norman/Martina Navatilova/Johnny Bench/Nancy Lopez/Anna Kournikova/Barry Bonds (you fill in your favorite tennis player, baseball player, or golfer) strategy for knocking over the tubs. If you swing hard, the containers will break and it IS a safety hazard when a 10 ft PVC or aluminum pipe is traveling at 100 mph. We broke about 8 tubs with one swing of a 10 ft piece of 1" PVC. As an aside, I think that "destruction of tubs" might be this year's "tearing up the carpet" of last year … but this is one for the rules forum.

I'm sure glad that something useful might have come from my two car disaster zone,
Lucien

P.S. Dave & I are good friends ... right now ... maybe not in 6 weeks
