Thanks, Kathie. I won't be in Atlanta this week for that other sneak peek, but this makes up for it.

To think that I clicked and expected to see something... You got me excited over nothing... Oh well only 2 more days

[Protronie]

To quote Macho Man Randy Savage " OHHH YEAH WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS!"

Folks lets just all step back and take a chill pill for a moment. This behind closed door deal with Lego is somewhat a surprise but maybe just maybe FIRSTmade it as part of a bigger picture we have not been allowed to see yet. I've had some negative feelings of some of the back room goings on for some time which is one reason why I've held out joining or forming a team yet.
I prefer to take a wait and see approach, let the dust settle before jumping off either way. I can sense there are some strong feelings... I think what we need is some input for FIRSTHQ... maybe its time for the powers that be to lay the cards on the table and let everyone in on whats going on.
For now its all just guess work ... lets all just have a cup of coffee and give Dean or someone high up a chance to respond.

Let the bidding begin!

-----------------------
I raise the bid to a dollar and two dozen K.Kremes !

(BTW- what is with all these serious & deep discussions?
Save it for AFTER the Championship, don’t you people have some packing to do?
Stop making me sit and read these long postings! I still have work and packing to do too.)

And now I'll just take a moment and say that you've all gone completely insane.

That is all.

Hey, don't drag me into this thread.

If "rich" means that I have a truck with a broken taillight and and a rusty bumper or if it means that I eat Hot Pockets for lunch, then I am guilty.

Reminds me of Jim Gaffigan's Hot Pocket Routine

Well, I have a 17-year-old Chevy work truck with green slime on it (this is Washington, after all), but it's my son who really thinks you're rich. After just three years doing FIRST, he's now in college double-majoring in computer science and electrical engineering. As near as I can tell, he subsists strictly on Hot Pockets, dorm cafeteria carbohydrates, and Mountain Dew. I think you might be his hero.
