Maple Master Alger and the great Syrup challenge.

Recently I went on a field trip with the game programing class of Tyler Junior College. A class that I do not take in a school I do not attend no less. But however I know several people in that class as well as another guy who just taged along for fun. The trip was to go to Dallas and see a computer facility and while we were there go pick up computer parts and such at Fry's Electronics. We took 4 cars for the trip.
The trip itself was the most fun considering how crazy we were and all of the funny things everyone did in the cars including screaming things at and flipping off the other cars in the group and calling eachothers cellphones. Several times amusing things were done including chinese fire drills at stop lights. One of our number accedently ran a toll booth. Another decided to climb on top of a gas station and proclaim himself king of the world. We got lost so much while in Dallas.
The tour of the facility was really boring and instead of showing us hardware and hands on info it was like a 3 hour sales pitch. The real fun was the trip itslef and when we went to 2 differant arcades for a while.
But as if the trip could not get any better we stoped at Dennys for a late meal. Most of us were falling asleep or had gone on home. But Me and about half of the students were there along with the college professor for the gaming course. The professor and a few of the students started goofing around and doing syrup shots and eventualy it grew into a mighty challange for the professor to drink a WHOLE carafe of syrup (the things they serve juice in). After money was thrown down he accepted and the waitress even called him out on it and brought a carafe to the table. I could telll you all about it but the video is so much better.
