That's one BIG Dragon Boat! I was part of a Dragon Boat team several years ago - ours only had 22 crew. Getting 20 geeks to paddle in sync with one another - That was a hoot :-) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/05/hi_fires_14_may_1.html#comment-73029 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/05/hi_fires_14_may_1.html#comment-73029 Wed, 14 May 2008 14:49:33 -0600 That's Hedley!

Hedy Lamarr, great weapons inventor.

Heck we even had one kid who came to us never having fired a weapon in his life, and was left-handed and right-eye-dominant, who missed scoring Expert by one round. Before the laser toys, we'd have been lucky to have gotten him qualified at all on the first pass. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/05/hi_fires_14_may_1.html#comment-73017 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/05/hi_fires_14_may_1.html#comment-73017 Wed, 14 May 2008 12:31:23 -0600
