Excellent!

Now that it is winter in Indiana, mice and snakes make their way into my garage. This picture should scare them away.

Thanks,

This picture is udderly awesome.

Moooooving along, I'm required to ask the back story that puts the Chick-Fil-A cow on a Segway in (what appears to be, given the floor) IFI's offices.

Back story: Team 148 is having a Chick-Fil-A fundraising night next week, so they sent their Cow over to IFI for some promo pictures.

A fundraising night, eh?

I'm sure the team will milk it for all it's worth.

JVN, funding for 148, and killer publicity? I wouldn't beef about that.

Re: pic: JVN and Chick-Fil-A Cow

From the 148 coaches:

If the Chick-Fil-A restaurant in your town participates in the high school spirit nights, then its a very simple process. Ask the manager or local owner of the restaurant if they will sponsor a Spirit Night for the team. The Greenville team is calling it : GHS Robotics Spirit Night and we are holding it on a Friday evening. As a matter of fact, they are letting us have an extended time from 4:00 pm until 10:00 pm, due to the fact they are located so close to our school. We were allowed to make all the posters, flyers, etc we wanted using the logo and then distribute them all over town. They actually encourage some form of advertising campaign. On the spirit night, all anyone eating there must do is say, " I'm supporting the GHS Robotics team with my meal tonight", then their reciept goes in a box. At the end of the night a portion of the reciepts will be given to the team. What percentage depends on the manger/owner of the store.

Is JVN a chicken? That face doesn't look too happy. He looks like he wants to stampede for the hills.

Re: pic: JVN and Chick-Fil-A Cow

I'm staying out of this. JVN is my friend and I'm also a part of the IFI team, so it would be improper of me to poke fun at this ... Aw the heck with it, there's no way to resist. Hey, John, why not sit the cow at your CAD station and you hang out by the road for the fundraiser?

(ducking and running for permenant cover)

[edit] OK, I'll admit that JVN is much better at CAD work than the cow, but c'mon the family resemblance is so close who could have known? ... curse you Martus, I can't stop typing, too many ideas ... [/edit]

Is there a way the moderators could "steer" outsiders away from this thread? I fear the reputation of the FIRST community is at "steak." <joking, of course>

Re: pic: JVN and Chick-Fil-A Cow

Ooh, this sounds like it might turn into an interesting story. Is that some kind of haircut that deflects swarms of angry Vex robots? Maybe an afro that somehow holds helium allowing you to fly away from an 148 robot experiencing autonomous "errors"? Or, perhaps you mean permanent cover; such as a bomb shelter or wherever English teachers that make spelling mistakes go to hide from their axe-wielding colleagues?

Re: pic: JVN and Chick-Fil-A Cow

I find myself on the long horns of a dilemma. Whether to jump into this discussion with both hooves, or just to steer clear of the topic, that is the question. While I am moo-ved to participate, I just don’t know if I cud stand it. Is it even possible that this topic can be further butchered? After grazing through the posts thus far, I can put stock in the wisdom of those that have already grilled the punsters. I am just going to chuck it in - it is not worth the risk of getting into a beef with those who enjoy all this bull. I think that Mme. Pasture would have said it best: "It is time to put a steak through this thread, before anyone else is herd."

Oh, JVN is in his prime; certainly he can take some ribbing!

Besides, when he retires IFI can dig up this photo and use it at his roast.

And I honestly think these posts are going in one ear and out the udder!

WOW, I just finished reading the Wikipedia article on CDC (Cult of the Dead Cow (I've been on the pedia for over an hour and somehow ended up there from Texas Tech or Lubbock or something))... anyways I can't believe I missed this this JVN thread/pic.

That said, Elgin forgot to look at the expiration date!
