OH GOD! WE'RE GONNA HAVE BRIGHT ORANGE BALLS AS SCORING OBJECTS NEXT YEAR! And to score them we'll have to put them on striped posts, and cover them with green wigs!

Re: Misinformation warning

Orange balls?

That will NOT fly well at Palmetto. Them's Clemson colors. (For those who don't know, Palmetto is held on the campus of the University of South Carolina, and Clemson is USC's rival. Not to mention Tennessee and Florida, which Carolina plays in football each year, almost always at the end of the season (hence we refer to the three as the Orange Crush). So wearing orange is license to get dirty looks from all around here.)

Dave,
Honestly... you believe an entire weekend went by without us seeing that pad? C'mon man... we're more resourceful than that.

Where was the pad during dinner Saturday night? Oops.

I'm already designing my next robot,
John

Wow... good picture btw.

1. Why are all those people just sitting around, not working?
I may have to re-call their CREW shirts.

2. copies of the entire notebook can be downloaded at xxx.Itookdigitalpictureswhiledavewasntlooking.org*


Team Cyber Blue has our 2005 robot designed and build is underway.
January may be kinda boring.....

There are a few reasons for that:
1. Nick (maroon shirt, team 190) was not on the crew.
2. John and I were refs and did not get an IRI Crew Shirt. *sniff, sniff*
3. That is the posture Morrella assumes at most FIRST events he attends.

(Actually, Jason was invited to attend IRI and instructed to enjoy himself. So, he is shown here doing as he was told.)

Do you have any idea who posted the pages on Ebay?

Have you checked Lil'Lavery's bank account lately?

Now wait just a minute! Anyone that old, who still has that much hair, can wear whatever they want. This year I am thinking of growing a beard, combing it up, and cutting out eyeholes (I can't look much worse than the Donald).

I took six semesters of symbolic logic courses in undergraduate and grad school. If you want a real fun exercize, map out the logic constructs of the original paragraph. It actually does flow, and makes literal logical sense. Trust me - with a face like this, would I lie?
