Exclamation The Real History of "AAA!!!"

Actually, I'm curious. Where did this start? The first time that I heard it was when us, 365, were running around MGM and ran into some FIRST guys (orange shirts, 834?) and saw each other 5-6 times. One of those meetings, we just started saying "HHHEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!" to each other... anyone hear it before Friday morning?
Yes, 862 was the team which started the "AAAA!!!" chant (and yes it is the letter A and not Hey but its all good). We actually started this last year at the Great Lakes Regional. At the time we were team 465 ( we lost our sponsor this year and found visteon along with a new number, 862). If anyone was there they might rember that. A team had a beach ball and various things that they were throwing out into the crowd. We started shouting "AAAA!" to get their attention. It worked and a phenomenon was started. We did this all through nationals last year and continued the tradition this year at the Western Michigan and Great Lakes regionals, and of course, Nationals. We actually concidered changing our name to The "A" Team but it got shot down. Many people who stopped by our pit (*cough* 128 *cough*) may have seen our "AAA!!" sign and our "AAA!" buttons, one of which had mr. t pittying fools who didn't say "AAA!!". So that is the history of "AAA!". Hope you enjoyed the story and will spread the truth throughout the community of first. (can someone please gag me now?)
