15 Things I Learned at BEST

15 things I learned while in Mobile helping with BEST this year:

1. The right shoe makes for the right end of day result.
2. Cool people like crab rangoons.
3. Ryan vs. 4 year old girl and retarded little boy = Ryan loses, poor guy
4. Enzo should never be given an air horn.
5. Never let politicians announce things that you have tried to plan.....it just doesn't work.
6. Yankee's are funny.
7. There is really no such thing as a "fun competition". An event can be fun or it can be a competition. Never both.
8. Be aware of the "Curse of the Monkey" trap.
9. Sometimes it's not such much about what you roll, as it is how many hands you need to roll all the dice at once.
10. BJD was never a sailor, though he may have once owned a sailor hat.
11. Cover is a very nice thing to have during a firefight.
12. The Pinata Doc is expensive.
13. Buses can make for GREAT anologies.
14. No matter how impossible it may seem, a kid's robot can (and now will) jump over whatever obstacle it is NOT supposed to jump over.
15. Always put your trust in people that get things done, not the people who say they will.
