I won't explain why we chose the name "Calgary Coleman" for our company's team-building event, but we did. The day before the event I'd made up a PowerPoint presentation with bouncing Gary Coleman heads and the proclamation "Cal-Gary Coleman is gonna win!!!" -- e-mailing it to the rest of the department. Yes, it was quite a cocky thing to do, but today when we came in first place (there were 16 teams), we were vindicated. The event was a scavenger hunt for which we worked our butts off, and of course there was controversy over whether we should be disqualified. In the end we each walked away with $25 in dinner certificates. Just in time for the weekend. =) The moral of the story is: it's okay to be cocky if you have the goods to back it up!!
