La mer
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
La mer
Au ciel d'été confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergere d'azur
Infinie
Voyez
Près des etangs
Ces grands roseaux mouilles
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouilles
La mer
Les a berce
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A berce mon coeur pour la vie

Dark Moments in Florida FIRST History - the day Mission Mayhem organizers invited representatives from the local FEMA office and the state Board of Elections to help them set up the playing field.

Just run it through Google, period. The translation for the song "La Mer" (lamer? ), from Wikipedia:

The sea
which we see dancing along the clear gulfs
has silver sparkles.
The sea
has changing sparkles
Under the rain.
The sea
To the summer sky's confuses her white sheep
With angels so pure.
The sea,
Shepherdess of infinite sky.
See
Next to the ponds
Those tall wet reeds.
See
Those white birds
And those rusty houses.
The sea
Has rocked them like a baby
Along the clear gulfs
And with a love song The sea
Has rocked my heart for life.

[not an entry] You can hear a clip from the English version "Beyond the Sea" at this Amazon link. The English lyrics are not identical to the French, which fit the picture better, I think. [/not an entry]

FIRST continues to try new playing surfaces to challenge teams. Here is the experimental Black Cherry JELLO field at Mission Mayhem.

"Dean called and told me two GDC members would come to test something secret, but the tent roof needed to be removed to use it. I figured that it was because the device was too tall, but little did I know that they were really using Dean's iWet weather control device to create a monsoon, just so Lavery and Morrella could play with their new rubber ducky."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #101

Wow...just wow. I never thought this one would be so hard to judge. I mean, usually one kinda sticks out...I guess there's only one solution for all of this:

*I'm kidding, seriously--that flooded field was one of the weirdest experiences of my life, and it's only because Mission Mayhem was two days and that there are some of the most awesome people in FIRST, particularly in Florida, that the event was as successful as it was. Trust me, you don't want to flood your field. I doubt that FIRST wants you to, either.

First place goes to:

They brought together another successful Mission Mayhem.
