Congratulations! That you were able to perform at such a high level after being hit by the wave of coolness that must've been emanating from a teenager astride a scooter (mere mortals would swoon) is a testament to the power of geek...

We were on the way to the practice field, and stopped to pick up some food at a truck stop on the highway. On our way out, a teenager zips up to us on one of those scooter things. He took one look at us, and asked us (in english) "what are you guys doing here?" Gordon, in his typical rapier wit, answers "INVASION!" The kid, not at all intimidated, continues, "no really, why are you here?" We explain to him that we are here in Finland to compete at the world championships for radio controlled gliders. He doesn't bat an eye in replying, "Oh,... GEEKS!" Joe Team USA Geek member RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
