Foiled by my own team!

Many of you know that I was a former member of Team Hammond and am now a member of the Indiana Prank Monkeys. But my team has turned against me! They sent me this ransom letter after one of my precious rare #71 pins from several years ago was accidentally left behind...read and see for yourself.

-----Original Message-----
From: A Disgruntled FIRST Student
To: Morrison, Amanda M
Subject: For Monday's FIRST Meeting


It would appear that you forgot something at the last first meeting.

Now we have one of your Team Hammond pins. See the attachment if you think we're kidding.
If you ever want to see it again, you'll have to do a few things.

Do the Funky Chicken in front of everyone at Monday's FIRST meeting, and we might consider giving it back.
Don't do it, and the pin will get traded for a couple of cheap, kitschy pins from Kansas and a piece of chewing gum in Saint Louis!

The disgruntled FIRST students

next "who am i" picture put up here will be you doing the funky chicken. cuz you know you want to do the funky chicken right now! smart smart kids, although i would have made ya do something funnier. like the funky chicken on the main stage at nationals! or maybe even something worse.

oh wellz. good luck with the pin, but i dunno if they will get that much for it. a team hammond pin isnt exactly gold, so all i would expect from it is the pins from kansas. plus or minus a toothpick or two.

and the lesson for today kids is never ever leave a pin behind after a team meeting.

=-]

i also went from a veteran team (S.P.A.M. 180) to a rookie team (1083) this year. i think these rookies are way too uppity if ya ask me. put them in their places.

if i think of anything really ruthless i'll edit this later...

best of luck.

Pin, shmin. Let it go. If your former teammates feel it necessary to capture your belongings to publicly humiliate you, there is no reason that you have to cooperate.

Now, on the other hand, you might consider the following challenge for something of REAL VALUE:

Do the Funky Chicken in the middle of the play field in front of the entire audience at the Buckeye Regional next week, and I will personally guarantee that you will recieve one dozen (12 in all!) Krispy Kreme donuts. Now, could you ever ask for a greater reward than that!

What do you mean, let it go? Let a pin go? Are you crazy? No FIRST pin is worth just letting go. Especially an old one. I say you come up with some cunning plan that will get it back without them even noticing. Remember, a FIRST pin is always worth it.

Dave,

Keep in mind we are the 'Prank Monkeys' and that this pin, the holiest of Team Hammond pins, was made specially so that there's no other like it.

...although, your Krispy Kreme offer sounds nice. But I'll be in St. Louis starting Wednesday...so, if they have remote cameras or something of that sort there, I'd be more than happy to shake it for the cameras, as long as there are some Krispy Kremes in the deal! Let me know.

Done! Post-St. Louis, provide a (un-Photoshopped!) digital photo of you mid-field, mid-stride, arms a-flappin', with an appreciative audience in the background, and I will gladly pay up the dozen Krispy Kremes!

D.J. Fluck, how am I going to get on stage?!

We'll have to work on that. I have no clue.

However... tonight at our meeting, after everyone got out their cameras and tried to coerce me into the Funky Chicken, I told them about posting on Delphi here and told them that I didn't want my pin back, and that I had Krispy Kremes coming. And that I wasn't sharing. =)

But if you get me up there, maybe there's a Krispy Kreme in it for you... mwahaha.

OK, the bet is definitely on with regard to your "appearance" at St. Louis. But if you want to up the stakes, here is another offer: make it onto center stage at the Championship competition in Houston and do the Funky Chicken during either the finals or semi-finals (with Woodie, Dean and the entire FIRST board of directors watching!), and there will be a total of THREE DOZEN of the world's greatest confections in it for you!

So how hungry are you?

Dave,

As much as I adore your tasty treats, I have made no plans as to date to go to Houston. However, I am seriously considering a road trip for those delectable delights.

And besides, who can resist?

Contemplating Carefully,
Amanda
