Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Discussing whether to have our robot lift other robots (before we read the rules :p ::rtm::)
Person A: But why exactly would we want to do that? Me: Because it'd be really cool... :rolleyes: Me: Sleep?! Why would I sleep when it's build season?! Mentor: I thought Catherine over there was going to explode [during the game reveal]. While frustrated over not understanding a game rule and taking a snack break... Me: Food makes everything better... (Quoting physics teacher): Me think now talk good... Safety first! (Takes glasses off before banging head into table, only to be held hostage by safety captain until agreeing not to bang head anymore, then doing it anyway.) ::safety:: It's so annoying when our safety captain actually does his job. :rolleyes: |
