TAKE IT FOR A SPIN

In order to keep with my promise, I'm bringing the first installation of the picture of the day of 2008. Keep in mind these pictures only get better as the new year gets closer, but in order to keep everyone coming back, we are starting out with a classic one, one of the most memorable of the year. All started when we decided to pack into a few cars and hike it up to Disneyland on Week 2 of winter quarter for a good ole merry time. I forget whose idea it was to go on the teacups, but I distinctly recall someone saying 'Oh Oh, let's go on the teacups before lunch!' Seems pretty harmless especially on empty stomachs, wrong. For some unforeseeable reason, when you get Rico, Alton and me into teacups that spin proportionally to how fast you spin the wheel, you get three sick kids. After trying to spin this little blue cup as fast as we could, we stopped half way through due mainly to pain and the inability to control our hands and feet.
This picture captures perfectly the anguish and dizziness as all three of us were unable to do anything but languish in our lofty, ill-planned goal. The rest of the Disneyland experience came with a blur as the twirling of this small teacup affected our bodies until the next morning. Just a good picture, revealing the fun times; also mainly showing the lively, child-like brotherhood we shared, this one through pain. This picture reminds me of how we were like little kids who tested limits and had fun doing it. You can thank someone from Matthews B-1 for taking this picture. A classic.
