#too many balloons

So, when safety tech, scouting mentor and I arrived at our pit this morning, we found this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Balloons everywhere. Our robot covered in posters and stickers. Cup walls and stacks everywhere.
The culprits?
Team 7404. The Wired Boars.
Upon being asked, they said that when they were blowing up balloons yesterday, this was the plan all along.
Just after the discovery, they had to double queue. That’s when pit crew took charge.

We took a single stack of cups and built this on their work bench. However that was not enough. It took 3 minutes. There were many stacks of cups. 10 minutes later we began the wall.
4-6 teams came throughout construction to lend some help. It stretched completely around the perimeter of the 7407 pit. It was 13 rows tall and towered over many students. One kid from another team jumped over the top chest in the back and made a pentagram in the center. Reminder, this was in the time it took for Choate to double queue and return from their match.
Tumblr media
Upon return, they discovered our masterpiece. They were shocked and laughing.
Later we found about 20 posters in our t-stack drawers. Not sure how many are left.
Any ideas for the next round?

Happy Birthday! Free space if this gets in on time, but either way birthday wishes and thank you so much for all your writings. They're really good and such a bright spot in my day.
Carlton is having a good day up until he sees what’s clearly a civilian’s motorcycle parked in one of the reserved spots. If the state of disrepair didn’t make it obvious, the ACAB bumper sticker stuck on the back certainly did. Oh, he was going to give this asshole the biggest fine he could, and get his bike towed for good measure! The good people of the SBPD are working hard everyday to keep the streets safe and this guy wants to make a mockery of that right in front of them? What a sick bastard.
He stalks inside, face set into a scowl. “McNab!” he shouts, startling the officer who turns from whoever he’d been talking to. “Who the hell’s bike is that out front?”
He looks at him, wide eyed, but then a kid in a leather jacket is stepping out from behind him and clapping him on the shoulder. He’s got on faded jeans, brown boots, and a dark blue henley. He’s a couple days off from a decent shave and Carlton’s not at all surprised when he says, “It’s mine. Sweet ride, right?”
“You can’t park there,” he snaps. “I’m writing you a ticket – McNab, write him a ticket! Now!”
“Uh,” McNab looks between them uncertainly. “But he, you know, um. He can park there, Detective.”
Carlton snarls, “Why the hell do you think that?”
“It’s okay, Buzz,” the kid says, stepping forward and offering his hand to Carlton with a smirk that has him itching for his cuffs. “I’m Shawn Spencer.”
“I don’t care who you are,” he says. “Only police personnel can park in that area.”
Spencer’s grin gets a little wider. 
McNab is honest to god wringing his hands. “Um, Detective, he is. Police personnel, I mean. He’s the new head of Internal Affairs.”
Carlton stares. This has to be some sort of practical joke. “Are you even old enough to have gone through the academy?”
“My youthful appearance is due to my intense moisturizing routine, a zest for life, and my good humor,” he says. “Laughter really is the best medicine.”
“You’re out of dress code,” he says, because most of him is still refusing to believe that this is happening.
“I’ll write myself up for it later,” Spencer says, which is ridiculous, because that’s not an IA issue, it’s an HR one. Which as the head of Internal Affairs, he should know.
He opens his mouth, but whatever he was going to say is interrupted by Chief Vick swooping in, several files held in her hand. “Gentleman. Detective Spencer, my office, now.”
Spencer winks at them. “Buzz. Lassie.”
What the hell did Spencer just call him? Before he’s managed to choke back his outrage, Spencer’s in Chief Vick’s office and McNab is making a hasty retreat.
He stalks over to his desk and Lucinda glances up from her own desk at his approach. She’d left early this morning to go back to her place to shower and change and had been responsible for the good mood he’d been in up until he’d encountered Spencer and his stupid bike. “What happened to you?”
“Nothing,” he says, then, “Did you meet the new internal affairs guy?”
“Shawn? Yeah, he seems nice,” she says, already looking back down at her paperwork.
Nice? Nice?
The day’s just begun and it’s already shot to hell.

Batman and Robin (2009) #23
Canon: Jason Todd reading a copy of Pride and Prejudice prior to a prison yard fight in Blackgate.
This panel is possibly a visual juxtapositional joke, considering he's in the middle of implementing his plan to murder about 82 people in prison.
Austen regency romance vs. prison murder and mayhem.
[I don't know how deep Winick / March intended to take this. Worthy of character analysis? Sure.]
Fanon: "Hold my beer!"
Jason Todd's absolute favorite book is Pride and Prejudice. In fact, he has a whole bookshelf dedicated to various editions. These may be the only books on display in any given safehouse. If he ever gets that Ph.D. in English Literature, he will title his thesis Reflections on Class Structure or Etiquette As a Weapon of Social Warfare as Evidenced in Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
He will name all his future children some variation of Elizabeth Bennett or Fitzwilliam Darcy, said children being the result of a One True Relationship that Fixes Him - which is only possible because he just loves Pride and Prejudice THAT much.
Has he read anything else by Austen? Has he read anything else period? Who knows!
Canon, later: "You know what, Fanon? That's a great idea!" takes a sip of Fanon's stale beer after eleven years

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures #31 "Dirty Little Secret"
Tumblr media
Catwoman (2016) #57
Batman: Wayne Family Adventures is outside of main continuity. It has its own canon that draws from a lot of fandom elements. It's almost a conversation in that regard. Catwoman is main comics continuity so Jason is an Austen fan. There it is, in corporate ink.
I just think it would have been funnier if fandom would have made the other iconic "Jason Todd reads books" panel their pride and joy instead.

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) #20
The book Jason's reading? Become What You Are by Alan Watts.
"While living, be a dead man, thoroughly dead; / Then whatever you do, just as you will, will be right."
A Buddhist poem, written in China, several centuries ago, tries to find words for an intuition which is common to almost every culture in the world. When translated into the familiar language of the Christian tradition, it is so well-known as to be almost a platitude: "He that loseth his soul shall find it." But what preserves this thought from banality—from the mere tiresomeness of those precepts which everyone knows he ought to observe but doesn't—that this is a saying that no one can observe. For so long as there is something which I can do about it, I am not yet dead; I have not yet completely lost my life.
—excerpt from the essay "Paradox of Self-Denial" in Become What You Are by Alan Watts
Another visual joke! I don't know if the book title was Lobdell's or Soy's idea, but it's really funny.
Fandom, I will hold your second beer if you run with this.

More misc. daily life pictures and such
#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that --#1 & 2 - Very bright pretty looking sky !#2. HUGE icicle that looked like you could kill someone with it or something.. Pulled from near a gutter on the side of a building#3. & 4 & 5 - various images from a silly party I had where I pretended to be some elf king turning like 204 years old lol (also not like#a REAL party. Only my roommates were there really and we're all in the same household bubble.#just to clarify. I would never dare have a large party anyway given#my hermitous nature but on top of that.. didn't want there to be some implication that I'm having a Party while covid is still ongoing lol.#NEVER.. But I do love dressing up as some fantasy character so much.. The only thing that could ever bring a true hermit wizard#to engage with others socially is the prospect of connecting it somehow to fantasy worlds and costumes lol. One must simply dress up#as a silly 200 year old man from time to time and pretend you've never seen a balloon before in your life. etc.#6. bapy boye... feets#7. The main food that I made for the elderly elf man 'party'. which was a Deconstructed Beef Wellington (kind of as ajoke since I watch s#o many silly cooking competition shows and they always make stuff 'deconstructed' at the last minute when under time limits or whatever.)#I've wanted to make beef wellington a few times but Ithink to do it well I'd need like..an actual kitchen and a lot of time and#an oven that fully works to bake things and etc. etc. So I thought this would be an easier method. A thick steak cut round to kind of mimi#c the round tenderloin or whatever it is in a wellington. instead of the puff pastry being wrapped around - I just did star shaped cut outs#of pastry and baked them and put them on top (to go with the star theme). instead of mushroom duxelles being wrapped around in pastry#its in a little circle under the steak. and instead of mustard being brushed onto the meat I made a mustard gravy sauce type of thing#Then of course asparagus on the side.. my favorite... Though I know some wellington#also has a layer of prosciutto I think. or I saw one person use crepes. I didn't feel it was necessary to incorporate that too lol#8. bapy son helping me do a giant puzzle that took me hours and I had no idea it was actually that large of a puzzle#until I started putting it together and for some reason it made me stressed by the end instead of relaxed lol.. puzzle fatigue#photo diary

*Charles voice* hello, hello Just a quick PSA to say my inbox and DMs are always open for anyone wanting to chat about Ferrari, Charles, Sebchal, or any other related hyperfixation. The last one especially... sometimes I feel like I still have so much brainrot for them and would love to share it with other like-minded people (and hear their thoughts in return!). Whether that's a vague fic idea or some nostalgia-induced word vomit or a modern-day crumb (those are, unfortunately, few and far between, but we savour what we get, right 😭)
