FIRST Comedy hour

[BrennanB]

Be in FIRST long enough and pretty much every game is hated in one way or another. Nowadays all the hate is pretty meaningless to me. You don't know how good a game is till you have seen worse.

Onto more jokes! (and more tasteful hopefully)

[John Retkowski]

Am I crazy for thinking it's wrong for people to say this is a bad game, and act as if them saying it just makes it a universal fact? I'm fine with everyone having an opinion. I get that, but some of us actually liked this game. Both as a driver and a spectator.

Also just needed to add in on an unrelated/related note. Every year I've been in FRC, the first couple weeks after the game has been released, everyone on CD seems to act as if the sky is falling with how terrible they think it is. We sure to know how to complain...

Just a thought.

If you're a driver or operator, there is no way you can hate playing any game. I didn't really like watching it at regionals (didnt get to watch it at champs because it was like a mile to the stands)

Even the X robots drive into a bar joke is funnier than the supposed joke used to start this thread.


Or to put it another way: If someone has to read your "joke" multiple times and it's still not obvious you're telling a joke after that, there's a good chance that they'll think you're serious. That's probably what triggered this.

Mods, I think this thread may need to be closed for a while, and maybe someone can try again with a different opening?

I'd love to hear the mentor built joke.

Its just a thread, I don't know why people are getting so offended...

And why even say "Mods, I think this thread needs to be closed..."... If you don't like it, then why even click it?

Anyhow, due to popular request, I guess, a new FIRST joke...
I barley passed my Programing class... I got C++. I only passed because i had some Java in my system.

Wow people are touchy.

I thought it was a good joke.

Anyone want another joke....?

Two champs.

I want to laugh, but I just cry.

Guys. Maybe we can stop recycling the RR conversation and get back to jokes?
Seriously, CD is littered with these threads already.

I'd like to keep the conversation going, the thought is still pretty unprocessed to me.

Maybe if I processed it more, I'd get the point.

Because Its a pretty popular topic, and I haven't been in the forums in a few months... I thought it was a funny joke personally.

Do we read the same Chief Delphi?
