A few funny stories:
  • When I was in 8th grade, my team went to WSU, which was a 12 hour bus trip including stops. We did not bring any movies with us except for two Bill Nye DVDs that a coach happened to have. Out of sheer boredom, we began to watch the DVD screensaver bounce around the screen and cheered whenever it went directly into a corner. The coaches became frustrated with us and turned off the DVD player, so a couple of guys started pointing at random places on the screen to emulate the DVD logo.
  • On the same trip, we hoarded cotton candy out of Golden Corral by stuffing it in our jackets. One guy had 5 wads of it!
  • At an invite last year, an overzealous senior at a rival school got into MIT. There was a really bad guest speaker who talked about workng for an airline, mumbled a lot, and went off on really boring tangents, so no one was paying attention. When he asked if we had questions, this girl stands up, announces that she got into MIT, and asks if she could have a free plane ticket to Boston. Pretty much anyone on my team who wants to go/ got into MIT gets made fun of now.
Old fart who sort of did things sort of for some schools.

We had a horrible Scrambler at our first invitational, and the egg literally exploded. All the coaches were laughing and asking for me to make an omelette. I keep telling them I don't know how.

Today we had regionals. I heard a parent saying how her son did bottle rockets, and his ended up crashing into someone's car and dented it xD The man was very well mannered though and didn't like demand them to pay or anything.
