I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: pic: how not to use a suction cup

That has got to be the worst hicky I have ever seen. Can you feel the skin anymore?

The closest I've ever seen someone come to that was in 8th grade when the teacher gave us all these giant (think 3 inch) rubber inside-out popper things for something science-or other related. The funny part was that the teacher would specifically tell people not to pop these things on their foreheads or they'd get monster hicky circle things, which of course gave that wonderful idea to dozens of impressionable young kids who wouldn't have thought of such a thing on their own.

For the next few weeks everyone in the class was walking around with these giant circle hickies on their foreheads. Ahh, those were the days

Re: pic: how not to use a suction cup

Not that I would suggest or encourage putting a suction cup on your forehead but this sort of looks like a spider...

Edit: or a splat

Re: pic: how not to use a suction cup

Oooh. Mascot problem solved! Introducing... The Spiders Splats! It'll be hard to miss us at competition because we'll make everyone suction cup their faces just like Stern did! Underclassmen get to have 4 suckings! (cause, well you know...) We could also buy a bunch o' spiders from some insect farm, and then tastefully "decorate" our pit with spidey guts. Mutilated Spider-Man costumes! Our logo could be a giant fly swatter! We could get sponsorships from the extermination companies!

I can't wait see what the rest of the team 'll think of this one! And I owe it'll to you Stern!

I predict this is the first in a long series of "suction cups in inscrutable locations" pictures this season.

It came from the Kit... It seemed innocent enough... Until they realized how much it truly sucked... (slurping noise)(scream)

And this summer... (screen shoots to black)

It's coming for you!

(Blinding flash, the music flies into an intense fury) (Fast montage of KOP crates being shipped, various teams opening up boxes)

(blackout)

Some random kid - "What is it?"


(Deep Darth Vadar Sucking noises)

(Roll the credits -- "Sucks", a FIRST horror film)

(Distant long drawn out scream)


I'm getting scarred just thinking about it.

We have a betting pool going on who the first person on our team to give themselves a monster hickie is. So far, no one yet.

Re: pic: how not to use a suction cup


I feel the need to mention that these little popper things leave fun marks too! I have the strange suspicion that my brothers were involved somehow, but I got one of these stuck to my forehead in kindergarden. Lots of family laughs after that.
