It's this silly bottled water that our college sells for "school spirit." The Hokie is the school mascot. It's a funny bird. It'll kick your school's mascot's a**. Believe me, I watched it beat up a couple mascots at the same time at a basketball game.

Banana's are good......

But I still say slinkies are the coolest!

My team gave out bagels at socal. We gave out about 2000 bagels. It was the best giveaway there. Everyone was hungry for breakfast and we were there to help.

I GOT A SLINKY TOO! It rocked!
There was a team at the VCU regional giving out keychains that they made to look like the FIRST symbol. They used a key ring, cut inch by inch aluminum square tubing, and bent a triangle and connected them all together. I rather thought that was cool. Although I must say I'd love to see bumper stickers this year, from a team or just ones to promote FIRST.

I would love to get a FIRST sticker for my car. Seriously!!! It might look weird among my Incubus and Tool stickers, it'd be on there though...

I have that keychain from Team 225...it is the only handout I still have, although the website stamped on it has never worked...
We (116/Epsilon Delta) had 10,000 stickers printed. We still have 1,000 or so left over. We caught some heat because the stickers started getting stuck all over the place at Nats...
We are not getting stickers this year.

Food from Texas---

I remember when I first moved down here, jalepenos were given to me as a side at a BBQ restaurant. I asked "what's that" and was told, without a hint of a grin, that it was a "Texas Pickle".

That'd be a good handout - it might even inspire some macho contests, which are always fun to watch.

I remember seeing y'all's stickers all over the place. I knew that Dave would be after y'all for it too. But hey, that's neither here nor there it's gone. For that reason I'd be against stickers too.

It was team 225 from York, PA. I only know 'cause I got one from them this summer.

Talking Keychains...=)

Glad the keychains were a hit! Kids spent HOURS filing them!

May have a limited supply of leftovers @ VCU & Philly this year.

The website does work! www.Eysters.com

Well, the site does work, but all it has ever said is "Please visit back soon, this site is under going construction. Questions or comments can be sent to wire@eysters.com"

I still like the keychain.
