Ok, so it wasn't quite so funny as the fact that there were 3 animators stuck who didn't know how to change a flat tire and called the meeting. Yay for the HOT pit crew!  |
Someone called me up and said the team needed some comedic relief since we lost our medals
. Seriously, it's not my fault that I was the only one there who'd ever seen a tire get changed, much less change one. We were actually doing good, once we figured out that in order to get the jack out of the trunk we had to take off the bolt holding it in. It also didn't help that I had to convince Alex and Eric that the jack didn't go under the axel. That was just a bad day for my car. Still, it was pretty funny when everbody thought I was carrying the remnents of a dead dog. (In case you're wondering, the dog is fine).
Moving on . . .
Another funny quote from this year would have to be at the Detroit regional. A few people from team 67 (including me) were helping team 406 prepare for alliance selections. As we were compiling a list, Mr. Nader said "Ok, we'be got the multiplier ball handlers, now all we need are some good hookers." (reffering to hanging bots)
