The exit number for Clinton off of 495 south is "26". The thought has crossed my mind more than once of how funny it would be to paint a "1" in front of the two to help people find the home of Gael Force easier.

My wife would stab me in the neck with a pen if I tried to buy a house because it was numbered 191.

When you and you team's head mentor play the spot the team number game while on the 7 hour bus ride to Milwaukee.

When you and most of your pit crew begin to bet on the robot's (and the bumpers') weight... for a nickle a bet each
When someone on your pit crew bets the exact weight of the robot (and the bumpers!) - to the tenth!

i was half asleep and lying on the bed in our hotel when i looked at the pic above the bed. I screamed "It's a BLT!" The pic was supposed to be of a Roman column.

when you have your desktop as an active IE thing and on it it has a counter of how long until i leave for nationals.

or atleast that was the case until my dad got on my comp and told me to put up the old desktop that I made with the quote from hellboy

You know you're addicted to FiRST when...

At the Arizona regionals, you spontaneously jump on the field with three of your friends during a time out and dance the Cotton Eyed Joe, while fearing that your dad might be laughing at you from a television another state.

And you keep dancing anyways, laughing as the camera zooms in..

Tee hee- I'm never doing that again. ^_^'

When on your physics test you answer using team names in place of team numbers...
When you tell another robotics person about ^above stated^ they talk about how they use team names to remember codes for cheeses at a local deli they work at (LOL)

*edit*
when you love the fact that your friend's cell number has a lot of 6's and 7's in a row

Road Trip to LSR '06

- two of the cars can't make the trip at the last minute and we say, 'oh - no biggie - we'll find the room and the seat belts,' while team members wander among the cars.

- one of the cars' battery won't start and the rest of the caravan has left the school parking lot. We get the call and say, 'oh - no biggie - glad it happened now,' and we circle back to jump the battery.

- we get a serious flat tire with a fully loaded trailer during a lunch stop on the way to Houston and say, 'oh - no biggie - I'm glad it happened now rather than later -'

- we get to Houston and there is a room mix-up with our hotel and we say, 'oh - no biggie - it's nice outside, overcast, not raining just rumbling, it'll work out.'

Life is good. It's all about F.I.R.S.T.

when you spend all your time after school doing extra work and thinking of ideas for buttons, mottos, and scouting instead of homework

[Joohoo]

when you rejoice when the time corresponds with your team number

[Morgan Gillespie]

You root for a certain nascar driver to win because they have the same team number as you do.

When you do a project on FIRST pneumatics for an engineering class and aim it more for recruiting more people.
