This one time after a debate tournament, The whole team gathered at one of the member’s house. Since there were like 9 of us, the only room we could collaborate without bothering the rest of the household was using the kid's playroom they had. While trying screw around and not get some work done, two of my good friends and I came across a wonderful little artifact within the toy pile in the room. The item was the coolest looking, tiny, fisher-price toy chainsaw that made realistic sound effects when you pressed a button on it that you have ever seen. From what I remember, the toy chainsaw in question belonged to the nephew of the person on the team who let us use her house. We messed around with it, nothing particular, until a certain scene from a certain 1983 movie about a certain Cuban gangster rising to the top of the coke trade in Miami staring Al Pacino came to mind. We asked the people there if anyone had tape, ketchup packs, and a camera phone that could record video and if we could use our host’s shower for a bit. After asking such a strange request, they wanted to know why. We answered honestly and we were flat out refused in all of our requests…to this very day I consider this one of the biggest wasted opportunities of my life.

I'm like a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it.
