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

[Zholl]

when you hear "We Like to Party" come on at prom, and everybody from robotics jumps up and does the "Mormon Dance" (if you're confused, watch this. the video's courtesy of a mentor from 2859, and this particular instance happened at the Colorado regional social. I wasn't there, but I'm pretty sure we did this in KC as well)

Apparently on CD you get 24 hours to edit your post. After that, it's cast in stone. Internet stone, that is.

...when by now, if someone says "Holy Cow!" you wonder if there's been a 1538 sighting

...when you want to hop whenever the numbers 503 or 33 come up

...when you want to bang on the nearest glass whenever 494 comes up

...when nerd alerts are in fact necessary every day at 11:37 pm

...when you realize you have an inherent dislike for 2009 due to the L-word (the game-that-must-not-be-named)

...when you get home from the championship past midnight and wish you could skip forward to kickoff

...when you've developed a tolerance for Mountain Dew

When you realize that your Domino's pizza cost $11.24, so you're keeping the receipt to frame back home.

Oh yes.

[MagiChau]

When you rather be doing a robot presentation at the moment.

When while watching the World Cup, you were half expecting a player to climb on-top of the goal

When you see India's lunar rover for their moon mission you think it would make a great Breakaway goalie bot (it has a solar panel that folds perpendicular to the robot and a bogie system to climb over rocks (or bumps ))

...or you want to get as far away from the nearest glass as possible to save your ears :P

Funny story about that; I was with some friends last night, and my total was 5 glasses of Mountain Dew. Still didn't keep me awake. Maybe I need to take a break from that stuff so that it will still work by the time 2011 comes around...

When you read through these and realize the same thing happened to you.

Well, this may happen in twenty years or so, when this year's FIRSTaholic soccer (sorry, footaball) geniuses compete in the World Cup.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
You know which exits to take to go home because they are team numbers.
Get off 79, pass 34, and merge onto 67. No joke.

your dropping your iPod because it is really HOT when the battery percentage is 67%.

Accidentally. Ever since the 3.0 update when the battery starts draining my iPod gets really hot. It's happened on both of the ones I've owned (non-MC 2nd gen for both of them). I have to have a case on it all the time

That's obviously not part of the product features as described by Steve Jobs (if it were, that'd be kinda odd... I can't really imagine him with his presentation on the new iTouch talking about how it heats up when the battery is draining), just to be Mr. Obvious. I think some people had the same problem with iOS 4, but I don't know much about it.
