Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

your driving your car and you start saying team names instead of the number of miles till empty...

for example today i looked down and saw i had "killer bees"(33) miles till empty

oh and remind me to get gas tomorrow because when i pulled in the driveway tonight i had only had "RUSH" miles till empty

And your next thought is that the only thing that could make it better would be if the license plate was FRC 093.

The announcers are so experienced, it is almost seems effortless to work the words "lobster" "Chesapeake Bay" and especially "Cranial IV" into the play-by-play.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

- When you're doing a problem that requires the square of 36, which happens to be 1296, one of your alliance partners from Denver. So instead of writing "1296" in the problem, you write their team name . . .

- When you go through the periodic table, looking for all the teams you can recognize in the atomic numbers.

-When you are thinking of 2 diffrent girls to take to the dance and you decide based one which one is more likely to want to hear FIRST stories.
-When you refuse to associate with any one who wont come to a meeting and "try out FIRST"
