Team Lassiter!  We&#8217;ve boarded the train and are ready to go!  At the very first station, however, we make a misstep.  The early stations only have one or two items to get, but we opted to get off and try for them anyway.  This was a crucial mistake, points-wise, as it meant we&#8217;d be late getting to the meaty stations uptown that had quite a few photos for more points.  Eh, whatever, we were there to have fun.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/93468786@N00\/3087591563\/\" title=\"upsidedownitalian by emisanboo, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3070\/3087591563_783dd45bb4_m.jpg\"  height=\"200\" alt=\"upsidedownitalian\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"right\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nThe other thing that got us, points-wise, was that we went out of our way to take creative but more time-consuming pictures.  Apparently some of the other teams took pictures <i>without ever getting off the train<\/i> which honestly never occurred to us.  It kind of felt like if we were going to be taking the picture, we should get up and go take the picture.  That&#8217;s not to disparage the other teams, understand, but this was our particular mindset.  As a result, we lost time by doing things like the picture to the right.  If you&#8217;re going to take a picture of an upside down Italian, then clearly you need an upside down team member.<br \/>\n<br clear=all><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/93468786@N00\/3087591549\/\" title=\"badhorse by emisanboo, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3296\/3087591549_223fc16ff2_m.jpg\" height=\"150\" alt=\"badhorse\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"left\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nHowever, I do not consider this to be a bad thing.

Team Lassiter took third place out of three teams competing.  Here&#8217;s our prize: The Thoroughbred of Sin.  It was hard to eat with that horrible death whinny.<\/p>\n<p>This was a blast.
