Too bad I know how this one ends.

And too bad I was not there with a video camera.

N.E.R.D.s beating F.A.R.M.E.R.s at arm wrestling? Oh, the humanity!

Amanda, your penance is to go put up 1,000 bales of hay before the rematch.

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

I can almost hear the "Eye of the Tiger" playing and see Amanda pumping iron and running up and down flights of stairs and teaching a punching bag that it better never look at her that way again and... wait a minute... no, never mind... someone's watching Rocky in the other room.

You have a way of picking these challenges you're never going to win, but I like that about you, you're not afraid to take on the impossible. And who knows, maybe one day you'll prove the impossible possible!

Well I saw the Krispy Kreme contest ... I sure hope she arm wrestles better than she eats donuts ...

Amanda's tatoo might have made the difference: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/18342

Or maybe she was tired from doing the YMCA: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=39114

I like Jen Copioli's "oh, golly gosh" look at the upper right. Also, it would be interesting to see the picture from Paul's camera.

It is good to see that Lucy was rooting for Amanda, though.

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

Should somebody tell Amanda that Woodie had already seen the donut eating debacle with Dave months before this match-up? After seeing what a weak opponent Amanda was (c'mon, how tough can Dave be, and he crushed her spirit in a matter of five seconds), Woodie was waiting for this opportunity for months without this poor misguided soul ever realizing it. Sigh. Some will never learn.

Hey, Amanda, come meet my friend Dean. He has two helicopters and would like to challenge you to a race...

(On advice from my counsel I elect not to comment on exactly who showed Woodie that donut footage. But, if you must know, I'm pretty sure it was Dave, just before the police pulled him over ... but that's another story I won't be telling you )

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

Let me just tell you that Amanda got her doors worked by Woodie. It was like one of those Loony Tunes cartoons where the little wimpy guy is fighting his (or her in this case) heart out only to have the strong man (Woodie) doing other things while the fight is going on. I will get the picture from our camera and put it up here. When Woodie was done toying with her, he finished her off like she wasn't even there.

By the way, Andy's wife, Mary, took the picture. At the dinner was JVN, Amanda Morrison, my wife (Jen), Andy and Mary Baker, Woodie, and the Baker girls.

There is a picture of a grasshopper that Woodie drew and signed that will probably be auctioned off real soon (maybe in July?) ......

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

I was told, by a very reliable source, that they were planning the 2007 game. The Baker girls, who are from Baker (is that a town?) helped determine what it was.

All robots have to look like Barbie, My Little Pony or one of the Backstreet Boys. Alliance pairings are made to to create this 3 robot combo in every match and will be an added challenge to the event crews. This will also be required for alliance picking.

The game involves chasing a live pig around the playing field and then holding it inside your robot for bonus points.

AndyMark, Inc. will be expanding their product line and FIRST will include an AMBP (AndyMark Baby Pig) in every kit of parts. You have to raise it and then bring the grown pig to the regional (Indiana Teams have a distinct advantage this year). IFI (John VN) wanted to provide this animal part of the Kit, but Texas Armadillos are ugly, and baby pigs are cute.

Amanada,

First you lost to Dave at IRI (sooo glad i can say i witnessed that one...) then I beat you a few months ago when you challenged me to a human player competition in the rotunda of the Indiana Statehouse, now you get beat by Woodie Flowers while he makes doodles with crayons at a applebees.... when will the humiliation end?

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

The really impressive thing was they were arm wrestling over a bowl of ice-cream. Once Woodie kicked her butt, he was then gracious enough to give her the ice-cream anyways.

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

Jeez, is this turning into a "things I would like to challenge Amanda to" thread?

OK. I hereby challenge Amanda to a slouching-while-writing-code thread. She might beat me at coding speed, but never at slouching, and we all know that no one ever wrote good code sitting up straight. And ... I'll cruise CD at the same time.

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

And there is a dinner that Jason Morrella still owes Woodie after the 2005 FRC game played out the way it did...

One of the lessons that I THOUGHT Amanda would have learned by now is that when making any sort of a challenge bet, you must ALWAYS scout out the competition to know their strengths and weaknesses BEFORE you make the bet. For example, before you make a bet with someone about eating a dozen donuts, it would be helpful to know that your competition can unhinge their jaw and that they have been known to eat an entire Big Mac with one bite. Had she done this, Amanda would have known that for recreation Woodie is a trapeze artist* and regularly spends hours hanging by his arms, which are now incredibly strong. As with the donut-eating contest, this challenge was over before it ever started.

Re: pic: Woodie and Amanda arm wrestling

I don't think it's just about scouting, Dave. Unlike mature men like you and me, Amanda has not yet learned that you have to hit the wall and then keep eating right through the pain.
