[Gabe]

...you fall asleep with your DeWalt drill.
...hearing restaurant order numbers makes you look around.
...you are constantly reaching up to adjust imaginary safety glasses.
...anything edible becomes a gourmet.
...you are asked to think of your best friend and you have to explain that they are all over the country.
...you set your alarm clock for 6:04 am.
...you've memorized everything in McMaster-Carr.
...you become addicted to ChiefDelphi

...You design what you think next year's challenge will be for your Digital Animation project in similar fashion as the animations for showing the game.

Give me a few days and I'll post it on this site.

...You realize that the best part of winning the Championship is the fact that you are now the proud owner of one of the ThunderChickens' coveted t-shirts, given to you by them after your win together.

[spadercool]

you see the number of students at your school is your FIRST team number

[anna~marie]

when you always smile and write your team insignia all over the page when you get to your team's number on a standardized test (sure makes for a happy point in the middle of the AP's and whatnot!)
