This reminds me of a time in 2005 when a mentor who made a food run pulled some cheese puff things out. Our teams founder, a 40+ y.o. lady saw them and her face immediately lit up and she said something to the effect of "Oooh, cheesy poofs!" and proceeded to, quite speedily, walk across the room and start to chow down. Doesn't seem so much now, but at the time I found it endlessly funny.

When you're addicted to FIRST, its DEFINITELY cheesy poofs, even if thats not what the label says.

Nope, their mascot has always been the Bellarmine College Prep "Bell". I would LOVE to see someone dressed up as a cheesy poof tho...

You know you're overdosed on FIRST when you see someone else from a team, no matter where, and proceed to freak out and try to get them to notice you. Yesterday I was in the middle of my 6 hours behind the wheel for my permit, and I saw a FIRST bumper sticker. I proceeded to switch lanes and pull up beside them to see if I recognized the person. I didn't, but they were wearing their VEX shirt from competition, which prompted me to talk FIRST to my driving instructor for about the next hour. He was scared when I switched lanes because he hadn't told me to do so, but he did complement me on how smoothly I did it! Which goes to show, FIRST improves EVERYTHING, including your driving!

haha that's great!
You know your friend's family has overdosed on FIRST when you stop by to pick up a movie for a girl's movie night and see that her mom is wearing a shirt from the 04 Championship

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when your friends start saying things like, "Yeah, frankly I've got mixed emotions... robotics is my anti-drug and yet it is my drug so to speak" -Dave "Tap Magic" Huston

And, in the holiday spirit:

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you keep track of the number of days until kickoff but not until, say, the end of exams or Christmas.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when, to you, kickoff sort of IS Christmas.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when the kit of parts and the encryption key to the game rules are the best Christmas gifts you could get.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you use a green neon light as your Christmas tree topper.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you and your mom randomly start wondering how they machine the holes in sliced Swiss cheese, and observe that one is countersunk.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you see kickoff and next year's game in your dreams. (I saw stairs in mine )

...when you wake up at 6:04 in the morning (yes, that's really what the alarm's set to) and find a Colson wheel under your blanket.

you know you're overdosed on FIRST when you have to write an essay on a 'family-taught value' that has impacted your life, and you write it about GP, and try to explain how FIRST actually is your family in the essay.

you know you're overdosed on FIRST when you walk into school with a hex nut on a chain around your neck, and your friends just roll their eyes and say '*sigh*....robotics season is coming up.'

[for the record, it's a really cool one. not just any old one off the robot or something.]

Is it a gold plated hex nut?

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you and your friends start to develop a fake religion around it. We call it FIRSToligy

[Libby K]

p.s. burman, why are you on CD at 8:30? get back to work.

I think i'm going to go drive one after school
