Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

when you find yourself posting on a very old thread on ChiefDelphi while listening to Weird Al's "Weasel Stomping Day" while thinking about how the heck you are going to align the robot with the spider legs.

when you hear someone at school mention Paris Hilton and crack up.

when your c:\FIRST folder clocks in at 5.2GB.

when you have a c:\FIRST folder.

when you know the phpbb tags and put them in without thinking about it.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

...you find yourself reminding everyone else when the next build meeting is.

...your homepage turns to chiefdelphi.com and you're always on a FIRST related site

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

You begin reading the Spotlighted posts (or as I like to call them the pearls of wisdom) b/c all the open threads have been read. - I got to page 3 and then I started cheating a bit and skipped to Daves name to read the pearls of wisdom he had offered - most of what he said is true and the others was showing his funny & good sense of humor side.

You begin to Google Dean Kamen, Dave Lavery and Woodie Flowers to read their Bio's and whatever other articles are associated with them. - I wouldn't say I was completely bored, I just needed something to do to take my mind off of the build season (not like it weighs a whole lot on my mind to start with ), My online PS2 Gaming and such. So I googled Dave Lavery - Got the phone number to his office and a mailing address =) Have no clue if it is still the same or not, and then I goggled Dean to read some stuff on him, I had no clue he had his own Island of the Long Island Sound and that it is its own unofficial country complete with currency and flag. Sometime today I will google Woodie and read up on him.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

- When the only thing you ask for, for christmas is a holster for vernier calipers

- when your phone number ends in you team number

- Your email also contains your team number.

- At one point your Debit Pin num was your team number backwards

- When you hear the word "Gat" and you think of sodering...

-when you spend x-mas holidays, 400 km away with a girl from another Team

-when at one point she says that she Graciously Accepts.

-your grandparents no longer care how your cousin's hockey game went because they are tring to pay attention to what the challenge is this year

- every story you tell March through June begins with "During robotics....."

-when you actually think all 95 pages in this thread are cool.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

When you see a geeky NASA shirt and think "That would be nice to wear to a regional. . ."

BTW, I bought that shirt and am planning to wear it to St. Louis.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

...You get the "you can only post once every 47 seconds" message three times while trying to post once. (I hate that message. I know it's necessary, but I get it too often...fast internet + fast typing.)

...You forget your purse somewhere and you aren't worried about not having your keys or wallet...just your safety glasses.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

You know you're addicted to FIRST when. . .
-Your hands are a permanent shade of gray/black from all the dirt and grease.
-You have a grease stain on you arm from the beginning of build season.
-You look at your clock, which says 10:32, and immediatlely think of screws.
-You haven't changed your clothes in who knows how long.
-You suffer from withdrawl when away from the machine shop.
-You start singing "I love to lathe" to the tune of "I love to laugh". (hasn't happend yet, but give it time )
Edited to add:
-You forget to take off your safety glasses when you're out of the machine shop!
