Introducing our newest contest:

Essence's Model Rocketry Reviews is pleased to announce something different for our summer contest.

Proverb (prov'uhrb) - a short popular saying, usu. of unknown and ancient origin, that expresses effectively some commonplace truth or useful thought; adage; saw.

You can alter existing proverbs such as: "There are two perfect men; one dead, and the other unborn." -Chinese proverb could become "There are two perfect rockets; one lost, and the other not built."

Or you can make up your own.

It can be a proverb, or even a Murphy's Law type saying, but it has to do with rockets.

Winners will be judged by EMRR Guests during a voting week of September 5 - September 11, 2004. They will be looking for the funniest, most true, and favorite ones.

Especially at NARAM when they close the field to flying at 5:00 P.M.

"How can we be done flying? I have motors left!"

Oh boy! I won first for the top choices category. I guess I should change my saying at the bottom of my posts to that.
