A well known Italian designer of cars was working on trucks. He felt the large trucks were so inefficient. The prototypes he was working on were unbelievable. "Italian designer" does not readily bring to mind visions of efficiency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Found the guy.

xandandl Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I like his bus. I can imagine the "just making a statement" jawboning as a corps pulls into a lot with these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Interesting new faculty add ons for SCV.. Andrew Rhebergen joins the visual tech staff. Andy marched Mt. Prospect for Pete Weber and played contra/tuba like his Dad for Cavaliers.where he may have marched Gaines' final drills there. Andy went on to be the Cavies' DM who high jumped the front ensemble to get to his podium in time when DMs conducted upside down. Katie Hopkins (yup, George Hopkins of YEA and Cadets daughter) is now listed as a movement and dance specialist for SCV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeutralNovice Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Ever since SCV announced their Ouroboros show last year, a word that I have never heard before in my life, I swear it's been popping up everywhere! First it was a truck as I was driving down 101 on SF Bay Area peninsula belonging to a farm called Ouroboros Farms. Then this board game I bought called "DropMix" has an expansion pack/series called Ouroboros. Then just now, a user has the username of Ouroboros on Gizmodo. I know I saw it at least 2 or 3 more separate instances but I can't remember. Just so weird how confirmation bias(not sure if that's the correct term) is true. Anyway, I know it's pertaining to last season--it was just an interesting thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which coincidentally I have been expericing it itself quite often this week after discussing it in a class. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew there was one regarding what I was going through but I definitely didn't know the name. How did your class like Ouroboros? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
