pic: Raffle JVN Pillow

[Alex Pelan]

This is by far the most disturbing event in the history of the "I Am JVN" era.

That being said, I'll give you ten dollars for it.

[Jay Trzaskos]

I will give you $11 for the pillow case, just so I can burn it. Because the real question we should ask ourselvesis, "Do we really want anymore JVN's running around?"

.... what was I thinking?

There's a fine line between "supportive citizen" and "whacko stalker". I'd love to make a straight donation for the Vex kit, but this whole pillow thing is creepy to me. Maybe the cultural norms and values are different in the Mid-West than they are here in the East. Andy?

I'll take "supportive whacko" as a compromise.

Rich, you need to come out to Indiana and see how crazy we are. Come to IRI on July 22-23. Your boys will have a blast. We have donut eating contests to see who has the best legs. We paint our pigs. We dress up like crazy people and sing about stupid stuff. We argue about which time zone we are in. We polish up our farm animals and put them on a stage for all to see. We reluctantly support a basketball team who likes to beat up people from Michigan. About 400,000 of us gather together to watch cars go around in a circle. We also build robots.

Yep, our cultural norm is a bit different than you cultured Pennsylvanians. We can live with that.

Oh... and thanks to Alex and Jay for going over my bid. whew!

CRAZY INDIANANS TO THE LEFT OF US!!! "CULTURED" (Huh?? Have you seen them drive, Andy?) PENNSYLVANIANS TO THE RIGHT!!! TONE DEAF CANADIANS ABOVE US!!! HORSE-LOVIN' TIM COUCH SUPPORTERS BELOW US!!!

OHIO - An island of Midwestern normalcy in the middle of a sea of insanity.

Ohio law classifies JVN's pillow as a biological waste hazard and therefore prohibits such repulsive material from crossing our borders. Those who attempt to violate this directive will be forced to toil in the salt mines under Lake Erie for 50 years. Should anyone choose to bring the pillow from New York to the IRI, you will have to beg Karthik to smuggle the pillow through Canada and Michigan, where they don't care about such things as public health and safety.

I'll pay you $20 to keep it and incinerate it for the health and safety of the American people. (This is a legitimate bid, btw.)

Hmmm....

The more I learn about the Midwest, the more it really sounds like PA. We drive past the pig farm to go get ice cream on summer nights and can hear the cars at the local dirt track when the wind is blowing right. I should really check my basement, there may be a fundraising goldmine down there for my new rookie team. And I'm working on the IRI thing

Oh yes, so true. Born and raised in Cleveland, OH!

Plus we have Cedar Point & Kings Island.

[Alex Pelan]

$21.00 if you guys promise to use it as a "Non-Functional Decoration" on next year's robot.

I believe they are called "Hoosiers." This showing just how crazy they culture is, I have still yet to figure out exactly what a "Hoosier" is after being one previously for two years in my life.


I'll pay $.50 to get my picture with the drool mark before it is given away.
