How about this:

You definitely know you've overdosed on first when you wash the aluminum shavings off your hands AFTER you eat dinner.

Or you just don't wash the aluminum shavings off your hands at all. They'll be covered in aluminum shavings again in 10 minutes anyway.

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

I think MIT has been overdosing on FIRST today. I was handing out our class of 2012 sweatshirts at an event today, and I had CD open on my laptop. Someone waiting for their sweatshirt walks up, goes "SWEET, Chief Delphi, anything new?", and proceeds to open up a few threads. Then, while I was walking down my hall in my dorm, I passed a group of people discussing the merits of shooters vs. dumpers and what will be more effective in the 2009 game. I love MIT. (:

Put in a good word for me?

when you leave your home (the place where your family lives) and say goodbye, I'm going home (referring to school cause of robotics) without really realizing that you just did that.

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

...when you're having a WWI lesson about the different alliances and everytime the teacher mentions "alliance" you automatically think "alliance?!"

...when the teacher asks "What's an alliance?" and you think in your head, "a set of 3 FRC teams that work together during a match...."

When you put your clock to military time just so you can see your team number once a day.

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

When you have a FIRST game piece as part of your room's furniture... Ever since 2005 I've had a blue tetra from an official field in my room.

I've found it makes an excellent place to toss hoodies or drying towels! I'm actually kinda curious to see how many other people have game pieces in their room...

Same here! I will always wait for 6:92... which will also never come...

so instead I stopped the stopwatch feature on my watch to exactly 6.92 seconds! (and refuse to use it to time anything because I don't want to mess it up!)

well i'v got about 3 poof balls in my room from '06 (and i wasnt even on the team that year...) wish i had a tetra though. wonder if my mentors would let me build one in our shop... probably not...


...when you continue to brave the cold inside our shop to keep coming to 9-5 meetings on Saturdays (darn GM weekend shutdowns... seems just the area we are in is cold...)


and i too wait for 68 but it too will never come... but i continue to laugh whenever i see 1114 on the clock
