Alliance Invitation Phrase

[cglrcng]

In the camp of "Gateful to accept....", "Gracious for the offer, very sad to have to decline this time." Or, "YOU BET!" "Yeah!" "Try and keep us away!" "We will make HISTORY together." "My bots not so bad, so....OKAY!"

And I'm sure somewhere, somehow, someday, a young female student Team captain, will walk onto the field that does not yet have a date for the RoboProm and say "Did that just come with an invite to the RoboProm too?".....OK! or, the reverse...."Only if you will go to the RoboProm w/ me too!" Alriiiiight! (Either of those would be bold and not at all surprising).

"Nahhh, we are going it alone this time, but thanks," usually ends in disasterous results later. Call it Karma, or whatever, but teams turned down usually dig a little deeper inside for the next few hours. Quiet retribution is sweet.

We do not direct our Drive Team Captains on what they should say...But I would like to just once hear them say...."Team 60, The Bionic Bulldogs would like to invite Team #XXXX to join us in consuming a bowl of *Bionic Puppy Chow, and then attempt to "Grow Bold" in eliminations together." Will you accept the snack?

or

Team 60, The Bionic Bulldogs gratefully accepts your invitation, to attempt to help you knock the other Big Dogs...."Off the porch."

Or now, (Only if we can play DEFENSE! YES! We thankfully accept the invite.)

*The team gift to our Alliance Partners is traditionally a special blend of our powdered sugar coated sweetened Chex cereal mix presented in a brand new (and washed properly of course first), blue plastic Team 60 dog bowl covered w/ plastic wrap. People love the stuff once they taste it and get over the "actual container" it is delivered in. (Looks Sort of Bad...Taste's GREAT!)

A ziplock bag or 2 of our Chow, is also usually delivered for the more squeemish of heart or those w/ very vivid imaginations, that just cannot possibly get past the idea of consuming from that nice clean previously unused bowl. (You have to actually be there, and see some of the past looks & eye rolls received!) Then they taste it.....The look usually turns to a big smile. And they chow down.

We would gift/loan you a blue mildly studded dog collar too, if you'd actually wear it. (velcro connected in the rear, for safety of course).
