Do you know what a day of Joe J runs these days?

I am not sure you can afford me ;-)

Joe J.

P.S. Feel free to sweeten the pot by throwing in all the Mt. Dew I can drink!

One day's supply of dew could mean anything.....

I mean, if I were Dr. Joe (and if I enjoyed dew but that's beside the point) I'd milk that for all it's worth.... You may need to call Pepsi and ask for a tractor trailer to stop by to supply enough.

All the dew (Mt Dew) that Joe, and all his (engineer) buddies (who contribue to the bot) can drink, its all theirs for a couple hours of telling us how many things are wrong with our current design and how we can fix them. ;-)

Jess B. found out the hard way at kickoff to never touch Joe J's dew...the man has an internal RADAR system for it ;o)

I think that if someone gets Pepsi to sponsor their team, they can work out a deal to "pay" Joe in dew rather than get funding! And just think about all the revenue that CD would get from the deposit on the cans....a compensation fee??

Lol, that I did, but I still thought it was funny. I mean, who else can have their back to me, and be talking to someone while noticing that I was swiping their Dew? Only Joe J

I dont know, Every time I hear about a team trying to get Pepsi-Co to sponsor them (including my own), I think it would be more beneficial for them to stay impartial....so we're all buying Dew from them, and noone will stop buying Dew because of the team.

Plus, I'd feel bad for the team, thats a lot of pressure to perform well, huh?

: Do you know what a day of Joe J runs these days?

(my best guesses)

Keeping Joe's boss happy during the FIRST season:
...3 hours on concentrated work: $300

Keeping Delphi's customers overly satisfied:
...4 hours of focused attention: $400

Dealing with the Mikes (Ciavaglia, Aubry, and Martus) and other CD coaches:
...2 hours of teamwork: $200

Mentoring ChiefDelphi:
...3 hours of coaching and teamwork: $300

Cathing up on the CD Forums:
...1 hour of wading through the variety of intelligible and silly posts, while adding to the mix: $100

Grabbing some food and Dew:
...1 hour, split up amongst the day: $100

Getting some needed rest:
...6 hours at best: $600

Keeping a wife and four kids happy:
...priceless


I know how you feel.
