Reasonable Guess of the Game...

[tenfour]

On a recent road trip to visit friends at their respective colleges (I'm a freshman), I went through Manchester. I stopped at a Denny's on the way at around 10:00 pm.

I had just gotten my food from my waiter when I realized he was wearing a polo shirt with the FIRST logo under his Denny's apron. I asked him about it and he explained that he worked his day job at FIRST as a custodian.

This man barely spoke any english, but he told me that he unloaded a gaint shipment of products from "American Standard." They make fiberglass steps from swimming pools. He said that he had unloaded a lot of boxes about 5'X10'.

It looks like stairs guys.....

Actually, American Standard makes showers, toilets, bathtubs, etc, don't they??? More likely, FIRST is getting some new bathroom facilities. Besides, what stairs are 5' by 10'? That's a lil big.

I'm looking at the steps in my spa right now. They are made by the folks over at Am. Std.

Oh, ok. Are the stairs permanently attatched to the spa, or removable?

[tenfour]

My spa is a concrete set unit, but it had metal loops in the concrete that allows for the steps to be set in and attached.

OK, so stairs are a definite possibility. Or, Dean Kamen is getting a hot tub for his office. I wondered where all that registration money went....

This thread is so incredibly _________________ that I just can't believe it. You can fill in the blank with your own opinion on the prediction.

do you have a waterproof laptop?

seriously, one of our mentors has been saying since last year we'd get stairs, most of our team has aggreed with him. if this is factual, (which is a question you have to ask of every post in the rumor mill) then that would mean we couldn't use that nifty tranny we wanted to.

You all can tell me my post is fake all you want. But I promise that if you go to the Denny's in Manchester, you will encounter the waiter names Jose. He will tell you all about it. So there.

The question that keeps conflicting with me is when i went to Manchester this past year (9-6-03)for the "Yard Sale" and off season comp, I wanted to go to dennys to get a bight to eat, well there was a trouble to go to one in Manchester, N.H., and thats cause there isnt one in Manchester. The closest one to Manchester is in Nashua, N.H., which is about a 20 to 25 min drive from manchester... Dont get me wrong i dont live in Manchester and the Employee at FIRST could of given me incorrect info so please correct me if it is wrong.

Yahoo yellow pages has the closest Denny's at Nashua Mall, 15.5 miles away. This story could be true, I like the idea. The only real problem I see is fitting this staircase through a standard doorway. Also, That is some roadtrip. Ca to NH, I hope you are driving a hybrid.
