I wrot a little song about FIRST a couple nights ago, called The Twelve Days of FIRSTmas. I’ll be telling it in the standard 12 Days fromat, and it ends right on X-Mas.
On the first day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: A simple scoring system…

Good, except that the 12 days of Christmas starts on Christmas and ends on Epiphany
Well, I guess it’s too bad it’s the 12 days of FIRSTmas, not Christmas.
Shouldn’t it be… On the first day of FIRSTmas *Dean Kamen * gave to me: A simple scoring system
I considered using “Dean Kamen” instead of “true love”, but later on in the song, it just didn’t fit. Anyhow (a la the now classic Battlecry II):
On the second day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system…
Wouldn’t FIRSTmas = the kickoff? After all, there isn’t a better gift than the kit of parts and a new game.
Yeah, but kickoff is never a set date. At least with FIRSTmas, it’s always on the 25th. Alright, this is a little biased toward Christian beliefs (and no, I’m not religious), but if there’s any day associated with non-denominational holiday season gift-giving, it’d be the 25th (although “Happy Winter Solstice” is a close second :p). Anyhow (you all remember the 2002 game, right?):
On the third day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: three rolly goals
two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system…
On the forth day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: four giant balls,
three rolly goals,
two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system…
Just how much would the real 12 days of Christmas cost, you ask? Well, accoring to PNC Bank, [font=Verdana, Helvetica][size=2]$65,264. For more information, http://pncbank.com/12days.

five Rubbermaids,

On the seventh day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: seven set-screws sucking,
six weeks of building,
five Rubbermaids,
four giant balls,
three rolly goals,
two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system…
You know, technically they were Sterlite brand containers, but I’ll play along I guess!!
Yeah, but Rubbermaid is a more associable term than Sterilite, IMO. Anywho:
On the eighth day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: eight floppies flopping,
seven set-screws sucking,
six weeks of building,
five Rubbermaids,
four giant balls,
three rolly goals,
two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system…
On the ninth day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: nine thousand dollars,

On the tenth day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: ten ramps a-rolling,
nine thousand dollars,
eight floppies flopping,
seven set-screws sucking,
six weeks of building,
five Rubbermaids,
four giant balls,
three rolly goals,
two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system…
Ack! I plum forgot about yesterday. I’ll put up 12 later tonight.
On the eleventh day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: eleven toroid’s terrors,
ten ramps a-rolling,
nine thousand dollars,
eight floppies flopping,
seven set-screws sucking,
six weeks of building,
five Rubbermaids,
four giant balls,
three rolly goals,
two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system…

five Rubbermaids,
four giant balls,
three rolly goals,

You did a great job with that. Add that to a list of something to do next year, but change the words.
