If you are pre-empted by other events (Disney on Ice), improvise.

Disney-on-Ice sponsors steal the EagleMobile's spot...what to do?	Improvise, that's what	Disney-on-Ice drunken tailgaters litter the lot...
...and act just like the Three Little Pigs

LESSON SEVEN:

Prepare for all emergencies and contingencies. Tony, the Chief Engineer, saved the day with emergency grill repairs after it fell of the EagleMobile on the way to the game.

The grill is damaged...	...and looks a little shaky	but Tony improvises repairs and...
its business as usual at the EagleMobile
