well, they are just freaks. I went to one of the (ugh) sumo games at OCA and well, umm, it was
just sumo. and you know how I feel about that.
and some of the other stuff, just not up to rtlToronto robot standards.
like the beam stuff, or the maze stuff.
big whoop.
how hard is it to do the stuff we do when you have access to ALL the materials of the world? I
mean, Project would have been a cake walk if i could have used a basic stamp, and servo motors.
what we do is HARD, and cool.

see, i was going to make rude comments about wood, and woody's and imply a bunch of innuendo
stuff. then I thought to my self:
"Self"
"yes Chris"
"Self, your so helpful. can you think of a cool woody innuendo?"
"um, Chris. that's tuff"
"look Self, I know its tuff, that's why i laid this challenge at your feet"
"Chris, why do you pick on me? I'm not Calum"
"sorry, self. Sometimes I get carried away"
"its ok Chris. I understand"
"Self"
"Yes, Chris"
"what were we talking about?"
"Um, Chris, if you just go back and read a few lines up, we were going to discuss woody's"
"oh ya, I forgot"
"Chris, at times like this I would ask what would "Strong Bad" do? "
"Ya, that's a good idea. lets find out"
Check_Strongbad.exe

its coming out his nose.
