 It's a bit sad, really, because FIRST has already reached other countries and there are some U.S. states that still are unaware of what FIRST is!! - tribotec_ca88 [more] |

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
I'm happy to announce this lovely list of pig-kissing candidates:
Jane Young Heidi Foster Paul Copioli Steve Florence Tim Baird Karthik Kanagasabapathy JVN Billfred Leverette Travis Hoffman I'm working on 1 or 2 more. Plus... we decided to add a tweak to the rules: the person with the least amount of money in their bucket has to hold the pig while the winner kisses it. Oink oink, Andy Baker

Stack Attack. I guess that's why there is no "Dave Lavery" bucket?

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
Perhaps the biggest factor in this contest: Will Karthik be singing at any time before alliance selection?

Steve Shade Amanda Morrison Dr. Aidan Browne This gives us a nice dozen candidates, combining these three with the nine below. Jane Young Heidi Foster Paul Copioli Steve Florence Tim Baird Karthik Kanagasabapathy JVN Billfred Leverette Travis Hoffman We had a mess-o nominations. Thank you all for throwing names into the trough. Not all were invited to participate. We were aiming for 6-7, but ended up with 12. That is plenty. Unfortunately, some invited candidates were chicken. See y'all soon, Andy

All you fellow pig-kisser wannabes out there, just so you know:
I'm practicing my pucker. (we won't talk about how funny my husband thinks this is...)

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
Is there a "write-in" bucket for Dave Lavery?....
So....let the campaigning begin! First of all, it seems almost inevitable that one of the pictures taken of the *special* moment of pig-human interaction is almost guaranteed to get into one of Billfred's Caption Contests. Now who REALLY wants to have yet another caption photo featuring Copioli, JVN, or Karthik? Wouldn't you rather have a shot at the guy who mercilessly lampoons subjects with his award-winning captions week after week? Wouldn't you like to finally get back at yours truly? If you've always wished you had a chance to return the favor, you will see to it that I "win" this contest by filling up my bucket, thus ensuring my ultimate humiliation. On the other hand, if you feel some other individual is more worthy of this honour than I (of course you do!), you will do your best to overflow those other 11 buckets. To do my part, I'd like to find a way to get the CD community NOT attending the IRI involved in the voting. I think I can do more damage/raise more total money if I facilitate this "ballot-stuffing" for my fellow candidates..... Soooooooooo...PM me about my PayPal advance CD fundraising campaign - for the other candidates.... Let me know which campaign you wish to donate toward and how much - $5 USD minimum per candidate. Operators are standing by. Serious inquiries only.  Last edited by Travis Hoffman : 15-07-2008 at 22:56.

Way ahead of you, Dave Stevens and I each already dropped a twenty dollar bill into an envelope this AM and sent them on their way to one Mr Jeff Smith there in Indianapolis. With a little help from his friends, Jeff intends to run for you lucky IRI guests, the fun, 6-player, Overdrive simulation (aka 5thGear) that was in the Lockheed Martin exhibit in the NASA/VCU Regional's Technology Row. (Here is a photo The 2008 NASA/VCU FRC Regional 5thGear World Champions  )Dave and I invited Jeff to keep track of the alliance that racks up the highest 5thGear score during IRI, and to then bestow upon them the honor and privilege of depositing our $40 of mentor money into the bucket of the nominee that, in their estimation, promises to be the best passionate porcine pucker practitioner. Until that winning alliance is announced and the money deposited, no one is safely perched in the pleasantly prestigious penultimate position if they aren't at least $40.01 behind the leader Blake (I wish I could be there) Ross Last edited by gblake : 16-07-2008 at 01:38.

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
Since Travis brought the subject up, I went back and calculated the combined scores across all five years of the caption contest for the contestants. In no particular order:
Steve Shade: Never entered Amanda Morrison: 57 + 34 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 91 career points Dr. Aidan Browne: Never entered Jane Young: 0 + 22 + 111 + 134 + 2 = 269 career points Heidi Foster: 160 + 137 + 111 + 10 + 0 = 418 career points Paul Copioli: Never entered Steve Florence: Never entered Tim Baird: Never entered Karthik Kanagasabapathy: Never entered JVN: 54 + 12 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 66 career points Billfred Leverette: Never entered (obviously) Travis Hoffman: 151 + 138 + 80 + 140 + 1 = 510 career points I'll further note that Travis has some twenty-two burn awards from over the years. (Heidi has a relatively miniscule eleven.) One more friendly reminder: Don't shoot the messenger!  (One other thing for the stat nerds: EddieMcD slots between Travis and Heidi on the all-time list with 429 points and eighteen burn awards. Just to give you a gauge and all.)
