We have two this season, both by the same programmer...

During an interview for the local news the reporter asked him his name (Cody) and then asked him to spell it...his response (paired with deer-in-the-headlight eyes)
"C...o...d...e...y...wait...no e" - (we now call him Coday)
When the reporter said, "So tell me what it's like to build a robot" he said
"It's building a robot in six weeks...it's complicated" -- duh

Then this morning...a massive storm is rolling through our town and power is down in many places. He walks in the door and tells me that he used his night vision goggles to find his clothes...my response
"You didn't have a flashlight?"
His response (and I probably really should have expected it...)
"Who needs a flashlight when you have nightvision goggles?"

:D

Me at a student: [Student] are those plates done yet?
Student: No, I'm measuring them so I cut them right and you don't yell at me for doing them wrong... again.
Me: Really? It looks like you are measuring them with your mouth.

"With all the days off because of snow storms it doesn't feel like build season" said by me last night when I was leaving at 8.
I think my teams lost at least a week so far from Early Dismissals and Snow days. The bad part is, theirs another Blizzard heading towards us now.
"Tomorrows game plan? We're going to sneak into school to finish the drive train."
