Very true Dave, Heidi is the reigning champion of embarrassment. But there's a new up and comer, my dear roommate, Ian Mackenzie. Let me present the case...

In the fall of 2004 Ian posted a picture of me mesmerized by a children's computer game.

In February he posted an audio clip of me singing, which he discreetly recorded at some point.

And most recently, he generously offered to host the Kilt Video. After I watched the video, I walked over to his room where Ian just looked at me, and burst into hysterics...

Ian may fool you into thinking that he spends all his time designing cool robots, but in reality he's secretly plotting some new scheme.

I must say, the looks on my face while wearing that kilt are priceless. Team 771, just remember the Canada's Wonderland off-season event is in September. It's a big theme park, with lots of room for pranks. Be warned...

Sooo....

Heidi, when will we see the "Karthik says "That's Scottish!" buttons hit events?

Karthik- I remember there being a reall embarassing picture of Ian on the Gallery somewhere...

Girls beware, Karthik seems to come out of nowhere. He's like a sheet of paper, so very thin until he turns sideways and then ..... He's still very thin.

Dave we know that you were wearing a kilt. Karthik was wearing a plaid skirt. There is a difference.

We'll be able to see the kilt coming... don't think that we'll forget to bring it to Canada's Wonderland!

Dave, you can blame this one completely on Karthik. His post is a deliberate challenge!

All right, I'll bite...

www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~imackenz/usedcar.jpg

Inspired by one of the greatest FIRST animations of all time, "Billy Bob's Robot Emporium" (or something along those lines). Actually, if anyone's still got that animation kicking around somewhere, I'd love a copy.

(I swear it's a coincidence that the picture's 116.0 KB ).

Somehow, I think that the only losers in this competition will be Karthik and me.

Dave,

I think we need to start some sort of support group. "People who are plagued by people posting embarassing media on ChiefDelphi" or PWAPPPEMCD. It has a nice ring to it...

Or you could call it "How did I get myself into this situation club". Dave could be president and you could be VP. After all you two give us a lot to work with.

Although I won't technically be on the team anymore I think I just might take a day off and sneak to the Canada's Wonderland event. It's on now Karthik. Be afraid...be very afraid. The bots name is MilDREAD for a reason.

Oh, for shame, for shame. You two should be proud of these pictures. Think of the joy photos such as these bring to the hearts of those who view them. Is there anything more beautiful than the laughter of a child? Or seeing a teenager smile in delight? Think of these pictures as a celebration of all that is right in the world and embrace the fact that you are a part of it.

And remember, it could always be a lot worse, for example, I could have used the banana picture...

Heidi
