Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

...when given a personality test the response to every question is "During robotics season or the rest of the time?"
...when hosting a rookie team for kickoff, you (and the rest of your team) tells them "you must visit CD or else..."

EDIT: What am I talking about? Robotics season never ends!

...you're scanning the freecycle list and you do a double take because for a second you read a post giving away a Terra Cotta Andy Baker...

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

-When, at Christmas dinner, someone mentions some form of exploding meat (Ham, I think) and you turn to your dad and whisper "Oink, oink, boom."
-When, five seconds after the previous, your mom, who is on the other side of your dad, says something about Exploding Bacon.
